This show, according to the Gazette, was more realistic and honest. Similar claims of realism followed SevenEleven throughout its four years on the road as it toured black and later white theatrical circuits. When headlining as the first allblack show on the Columbia Burlesque Wheel, a national theater circuit catering primarily to white audiences, stories attesting to its truthful rendering of African American life became a main selling point on par with its acclaimed music and dancing. By relying on general promises of authenticity to promote the show across racial lines, SevenEleven effectively tapped into emerging desires within the largely segregated entertainment industry for uptodate black cultural products like music, dance, and fashion. SevenEleven was among the most popular black musicals of the early 1920s, yet it has largely been forgotten and its significance overlooked in favor of shows like Shuffle Along that dominated the New York City","PeriodicalId":43462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47443160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, contemporary TexasMexican musicians like Juanito Castillo, Piñata Protest, and Sunny Sauceda have not recorded the classic song. This first group of artists represents a collective tradition comprising a common repertory passed down through oral tradition. Meanwhile, recent musicians like Castillo, Piñata Protest, and Sauceda instead create original repertory alongside borrowed songs and stylistic traits from rock, country, and the blues (among others). In addition, while conjunto itself and many of its early artists initiated in rural communities along the TexasMexican border in the Rio Grande Valley, this “modernist” group of musicians (my term) emanates from the urban center of San Antonio. The quantitative methods in this article then highlight two divergent","PeriodicalId":43462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41996574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from his tenure as premier danseur with the Ballets Russes from 1909 to 1917, he wrote of the late impresario’s character, accomplishments, and influence on the art world at large. The nowfamiliar tropes were rehearsed: Diaghilev was an autocratic “genius of the theater,” whose persistence and unfailing taste reinvigorated ballet in the West; Diaghilev mobilized Europe’s leading artistic figures for ballet, revolutionizing music and the scenic arts along the way; Diaghilev shone the spotlight on the male dancer and fostered the careers of the era’s leading Russian choreographers. Bolm ended his tribute with a simple, but imperative, appeal to his readers: “Diaghileff left a great legacy to the world of art, and it must be preserved.”1 How does one preserve a legacy? More crucially for Bolm, how does one preserve the legacy of a figure celebrated for his monumental impact on ballet, an artform notorious for its ephemerality? This question has long troubled dancemakers, old and new, from the fields of concert dance to folk dance.2 Diaghilev himself set up obstacles to these efforts by refusing to allow Ballets Russes productions to be filmed and failing to have the company’s choreographic works routinely notated. Nevertheless, the impresario’s trace remains in the vast array of musical scores, artworks, and photographs he commissioned during his career.
