61. Ragtime Era Dance This new uniquely American music developed into Ragtime, In the early 1900s, ragtime music began to gain a wider acceptance and it soon was accompanied http://dance.stanford.edu/syllabi/ragtime_dance.htm

Social Dances of the Ragtime Era Richard Powers During the 19th century, most of America's dances were imported from Europe, as dance masters emulated the latest fashions of London and Paris. At the same time, the slaves from Africa were combining their native music and dance with European and Caribbean forms, resulting in their spirituals and "Ethiopian Melodies" that were popularized by minstrel shows and American composers like Foster, Christy and Gottschalk. This new uniquely American music developed into Ragtime, with its characteristic syncopation. At this time, the newlyweds Irene and Vernon Castle found themselves in the right place at the right time, exhibiting their versions of the new American dances in a Parisian dinner club. They became immensely popular in Paris, and their fame spread through Europe. When the Castles returned to Irene's New York home in 1912, their dancing set a new prototype for Americans to follow. The Castles were a young, elegant, attractive, wholesome, married couple who had become the rage of Parisian high society. In a word, they had class. If they could dance the new ragtime dances, then all levels of society could, and did. The Castles were joined by other exemplars, such as Maurice Mouvet and Joan Sawyer, becoming catalysts in a huge ragtime era dance mania. After two centuries of Americans dancing in the European manner, Europe was now importing the latest music and dances from America. During the ragtime dance craze, the ballrooms were dominated by a single dance, the One-Step, where a couple merely walked one step to each beat of the music. Its immense popularity was partially due to its simplicity. But those who were especially fond of the new dancing had a wide variety of other steps and styles to choose from. The Argentine Tango, which had been received with great acclaim in Paris, was renowned for its flirtations with sensuality, previously forbidden in public dancing. In contrast, the Hesitation Waltz was characterized by an elegant, almost balletic grace. The Maxixe was a swaying Brazilian two-step (polka) that was thought of as a Brazilian Tango. Vernon and Irene danced the One-Step in a unique style that became known as the Castle Walk. The Half-and Half was an unusual hesitation waltz in 5/4 time, accompanied by even more obscure experiments in 7/4 time. Finally, the Fox-Trot was introduced in the last months before the "Great War."

LAFAYETTE ESCADRILLE SQUADRON HISTORICAL INFORMATION The early members of the Escadrille Americaine. "I don't know a single one of the boys who didn't have a deep-seated desire to help France" A quote from Edwin Parsons, Lafayette Escadrille, on the spirit of the American pilots fighting in France beginning in 1916. Brief Summary. The Lafayette Escadrille (LE) was made up of American pilots based in France that fought against the Jagdstaffeln of Germany prior to the United States entry into World War 1. Originally called the Escadrille Americaine , this group is perhaps as well remembered for their actions in the officer's club, as their success in the skies. The Lafayette Escadrille had 38 American pilots that rotated to other squads within the Lafayette Flying Corps, a part of the French Air Service. In all, 65 Lafayette Escadrille and Lafayette Flying Corps members perished during the air war effort over France. The Lafayette Escadrille was formed in April 1916 and carried the cause of freedom to skies over western Europe until the squadron was absorbed by the United States Air Service in 1918. The music of the times, that included ragtime, was played on a gramophone. Select a ragtime music

Jazz : Ragtime A style of music popular in the American South during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century incorporating an elaborately syncopated melody accompanied by a steady bass rhythm. Ragtime The musical genre called ragtime is uniquely American. It was at its most popular in the American South around the turn of the twentieth century (from 1900–1918). A dance form, ragtime is played in 4/4 or 2/4 time and includes a “walking” legato bass line emphasizing even beats (2 and 4), staccato chords played on odd beats (1 and 3) and a synchopated melody. Ragtime is primarily a musical form written for solo piano. Although ragtime is without question an important jazz precursor, it lacks two of jazz’s most important (perhaps defining) characteristics, melodic improvisation and blue notes. Rags, as ragtime compositions are often called, were written and sold as sheet music and also as rolls for player pianos. Many of the more sophisticated rags employ a sonata form with four distinct themes and a variation on the first theme. There have been periodic revivals of ragtime music including an American revival in the 1970’s following the release of the movie “The Sting” which featured ragtime music on the soundtrack.

He combines the rhythmic feel of jazz with the nuanced technique of a classical pianist. It takes that synthesis to do justice to the music. His Last Time Rag has little to do with resurrecting historical artifacts. What it does is present a living form that has inspired a lineup of exceptional 20th century composers. Fortunately for us, Fumo has the pianistic grace and the stylistic sense to successfully present nearly a century of evolving ragtime music. Ragtime and the blues are two of the main American sources of New Orleans jazz. Both arose in the late 19th century, and both were considered scandalous music, particularly by the religious zealots of the day. Ragtime has always been written out, more formal music than the blues. But at the turn of the century it was music that inspired the "Cakewalk." This odd name was a dance style - couples competed for the grand prize of a multi-tiered cake. The cakewalk style was later adopted by the fast set of the well-to-do white world, similar to how New Orleans jazz was adopted and modified to become dixieland jazz. Eventually ragtime and dixieland became the music associated with the "flappers" and the "The Jazz Age" of F. Scott Fitzgerald fame.

Ragtime is a dance form written in 2/4 or 4/4 time, and utilizing a walking bass , that is, the bass note played legato on the 1-3 beats with a staccato chord played on the 2-4 beats. Much ragtime is written in Sonata form , with four distinct themes and a modified first theme appearing in the work. Ragtime music is syncopated , with the melodic notes landing largely on the off-beats. The etymology of the word ragtime is not known with certainty. One theory is that the "ragged time" associated with the walking bass set against the melodic line gives the genre its name. 1 Historical context Ragtime originated in African-American musical communities, in the late

He loved and played all kinds of music: popular tunes, Jazz, classical and piano rags. As Wally played Ragtime audiences rediscovered this lost American musical treasure, sparking wide interest which has grown steadily since. Today, enthusiasm for Ragtime music is a worldwide movement dedicated to preservation of piano rolls and sheet music, research and scholarship; festivals and recordings. Much of it thanks to the modest and self-effacing Wally Rose, his love of Rags, and the records he made in the 1940s and 50s. Wally Rose was born 193 in Oakland, California. Fascinated as a child by the player piano in his home, Wally showed an early and determined interest in piano; before out of high school Rose had already played professionally on a cruise ship and earned a music scholarship. He later played with dance bands in San Francisco, performed in bars, hotels and night spots, concertized with the San Francisco Symphony, and helped launch a revival of Traditional Jazz in the bands of Lu Watters, Turk Murphy and Bob Scobey.

Affeldt would sit in the shop for hours listening to Campbell's stories about the time he'd spent with Joplin as well as of hearing performers like Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Ethel Waters firsthand. Campbell was the real deal a ragtime pianist who had actually been there when the music was being played in sporting houses across the country. Very few other ragtime pianists of the era had recorded, and among them only Campbell had ever studied with Joplin. Affeldt recorded the masters on this CD for release on his Euphonic Sounds record label, and they have recently been acquired and released by Chicago's legendary Delmark records. Listeners used to the more mannered ragtime recordings of later interpreters will probably be surprised by the looseness of Campbell's style as he works through a series of traditional tunes as well as his own compositions, of which there are many, such as "Essay in Ragtime", "Salome's Slow Drag", and "Lulu White". Also of great interest is the opportunity to compare Campbell's rendition of Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" with a piano roll by Joplin himself. Both are slower than the interpretations one often hears today. Campbell's rendition at first sounds a bit stiff and mannered, until one hears the piano roll version that, though smoother and less percussive, still manages to sound very much like a composed piece of music without the bouncing energy Campbell brings to the song.

Welcome to the Vintage Dance Society of Hartford's "Vintage Dance Discography" page, a necessarily incomplete listing of CDs of vintage dance music compiled by Bob Chapman, Peter Lee, Richard Powers, Marc Casslar, and Mike Bergman. Since vintage dance music recordings are aimed at a specialist market, they are not widely available (don't expect to find them at Strawberry's!). Some will be available at stores in major metropolitan areas or college towns that sell classical music. Most likely you'll have to order them, either from a dealer or directly. Some are available on own private labels and are available only from the performers. A few are out of print but might be found in cut-out or used-CD bins. While we have concentrated on social dance music from the period 1860 to 1920, some CDs will also contain music from slightly earlier or later periods. We have intentionally not listed the hundreds of recordings of waltz music by the Strauss family or Emile Waldteufel, although they and some of their contemporaries are represented in collections. The term "salon music" refers to light chamber music by small ensembles (e.g., trios, quartets). While this often includes waltzes, polkas, schottisches, etc., their tempos are sometimes more geared to concert audiences. If possible, preview salon music recordings to see if their tempos are suitable for dancing.

MP3 Hangout HISTORY OF JAZZ Part 1: Elements of Jazz/New Orleans Marching bands were very important in New Orleans and other cities for at least two reasons. The first was that many of the first jazz musicians learned how to play their instruments and, in some cases, read music while playing in such bands. The other reason for marching bands' importance is the fact that the music they played helped inspire one of the important precursers to jazz, ragtime. Ragtime Treemonisha. Though the opera failed in its first performance, it was highly successful when staged in the 1970s, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1976. Joplin died on April 1, 1917 in Manhattan State Hospital of syphilis which he had contracted many years earlier. Blues The influence of the blues on jazz cannot be overemphasized. Although many other influences have existed and continue to influence the development of jazz music, blues is the basis of jazz. Blues was the first music to emphasize improvisation, and its unique tonal coloration became an integral part of the jazz vocabulary. Any attempt to trace the roots of jazz music must take into account the influence of the blues.

Scott Joplin BIOGRAPHY (Notes from Judith Lynn Porter) Scott Joplin was born in Texarkana, Texas on November 24, 1868. He grew up in a musical environment since most of his family played an instrument or sang and consequently young Scott became fascinated with the piano. He taught himself to play with considerable proficiency so that by the age of 11 his prowess had reached the white community and particularly aroused the interest of an old German music teacher, him as a pupil. Joplin left home in his early teens hoping to find his fortune through his talent of music. He lived in St. Louis from 1885 to 1893 playing piano in local honky-tonks. Chicago was his next stop, being one of a number of musicians who sought work among the clubs, bars, and honky-tonks that sprang up around the World's Columbian, Exposition. For a brief period following, he settled in Sedalia, Missouri where he played second cornet in the Queen City Concert Band. The next two years he spent touring with a vocal group he had formed. It was during this phase that Joplin began to write his own compositions, some of which he publisheda pair of waltz songs and three piano pieces. The vocal group dissolved in 1896 and Scott returned to Sedalia. The return to Sedalia marked a crucial turning point in Joplin's career. He decided to attend George Smith College, an educational institution for blacks sponsored by the Methodist Church, where he worked at translating the elusive rhythms of ragtime into musical notation and also continued to refine his creative imagination. Scott composed his first rag which he called "

This enterprise was established in 1886 and was bought out eventually by Warner and the Hollywood interests in 1929. The Witmark "Sons" were Isidore (1869-1941), Julius (1870-1929) and Jay (1877-1950)- the Whiz Kids of Tin Pan Alley! They were respectively 17, 16 and 14 when they started their publishing business. The boys were songwriters and carried out a small but successful home business as music printers until their own pieces, especially one by Isidore, started to become what one could call "popular". In fact, the meager royalties given to Isidore by Willis Woodward for his first songs, "A Mother Is A Mother After All", and "A Sister’s Lullaby" caused them to form their own music publishing company. As they were minors at the time, their father Marcus formed the company in his own name but evidently had little real intervention in it. They were the first to publish "professional copies" and to provide them gratuitously to performers, as well as free orchestration.

Reference Interview Transcripts Bibliography Primary Sources Max Morath : Ragtime Music Eighteen-ninety-nine, late in the year, Scott Joplin's first successful rag "The Maple Leaf Rag" is published out in Sedalia, Missouri. Prior to that, by the way, he had had another rag published in Kansas City. We're talking 1899. Now the underground is finally beginning to surface, to simplify it, and to begin its takeover of popular music, which will take some time. Joplin's rags were not the first rags and it's only fair to say that as much as we, I, love the music of Scott Joplin, who has emerged as "the" master and certainly with good cause, was only one of thousands who were doing this. He happens to have been the best, but to say that Joplin himself, with his emergence in 1899, started the whole thing is nonsense. It would be like saying there was only one rock group in Liverpool in 1962. I mean Joplin was one of many. Ragtime songs are out there. There is the beginning of syncopation in lyrics of songs. There is the beginning of syncopation in marches and in instrumental pieces, but ragtime as a full development, as "the" thing, as the one that the critics are now saying, "Wow, what's going on here," had not happened yet. It's simmering. It's going to take some time for the pianists, not to mention the ears of Americans, to say, "What is that? Wow, I like that. What are they playing, Harriet? I mean it's exciting. What do they call that? Oh, they call it rag time," two words in those days, they hyphenated, then one word. A phenomenon. Again, we don't know about a lot of this.

Print This Paper Andrea Schwenke Wyile M usic and dance are art forms that do not lend themselves particularly well to being expressed on paper. The musical notes can be written down and the dance steps explained and diagrammed, but music and dance are meant to be auditory and visual experiences. Typically, books on these subjects tell us about them rather than attempting to give us a direct experience of them, or present us with still portraits of dancers and players. However, certain picture books provide remarkable proof that an insightful blend of words and illustration can combine to give one a virtual experience, in the book related sense, of music and dance on paper. Although the experience of dance and music is quite different in Ragtime Tumpie, Ben’s Trumpet and Hip Cat , all three books convey the excitement of different periods of the jazz era as a result of the interdependence between words and illustration. All three books are true picture books and their structure and style mirror the structure and style of the music they represent. J azz and picture books have a few things in common, notably improvisation and variation. One can understand the common ground between the two by comparing the difference between jazz and classical music and the picture book and the illustrated book. Hugue Panassié valiantly attempts to differentiate between jazz and classical music in the first chapter of
