Frederick Stock and American Music
Posterity has not been kind to Frederick Stock (1872-1942), conductor of Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1905 until his death on October 28, 1942. Typical of this neglect was an article by Donal Henahan in New York Times, Cities Get Conductors They Deserve, in which he discussed the symbiotic relationship between any city and director of its orchestra. Fritz Reiner and Georg Solti in Chicago were cited as examples of what can happen when right ar…

Black Spirituals: Their Emergence into Public Knowledge
Before the Civil War, people outside the black community were only dimly aware that a body of song called spirituals existed. To most whites in the United States and Europe, the music of the blacks was the music of the minstrel theater, songs like Black Joe or My Old Kentucky Home. European travelers who visited the South expected to find the slaves singing such songs, and sometimes that's what they heard, for minstrel songs were universally popu…

myths. One example is that the slaves had no secular music but sang only hymns; another is that the banjo was unknown to the plantation slave. But the myth that has had the widest influence holds that the black spiritual was wholly derived from earlier white folk hymns. This theory had been widely accepted among the academic community while it was virtually unknown to the public at large. When interest in black studies exploded in the 1960s, the …

The Folk Banjo: A Documentary History
T he history of the folk banjo as distinct from the commercial instrument has hardly been attempted in any serious way. Such a basic question as whether it originated in the United States, the prevailing belief of only a few decades ago, or in Africa has not been resolved by supporting evidence of an incontrovertible nature. Assumptions, speculations and theories have been offered, with only a few isolated sources to support them, quotations that…
