I did not mention the work of Charles Ives during the last class, who composed during the same period, but without even the small circle around Schoenberg for support. He was almost unrecognized in his life, composing while he worked as an insurance executive. If you can, listen to some of the Songs of Charles Ives, such as "The Antipodes" (along with Alban Berg's "Seven Early Songs") also "All the Way Round and Back." (Just for fun, listen to Ives' "Variations on America", the Carla Bley Band's "Spangled Banner Minor and other Patriotic Songs" and Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner, too.)

I also did not get to mention the work of Oliver Messiaen, but I think I will later on in the semester. His "Quartet for the End of Time" (Quatour pour la Fin du Temps, get the Pierre Boulez recording) and "Peomes pour Mi" are well worth hearing. And Boulez is another one that bears mentioning later in the semester.

Cardinal in 'Nazi art term' row

A German archbishop has sparked controversy by calling some modern art "degenerate" - a term used by the Nazi regime in its persecution of artists.
Cardinal Joachim Meisner, Archbishop of Cologne, was speaking as the Church inaugurated its Kolumba art museum.
Cardinal Meisner warned that when art became estranged from worship, culture became degenerate.
The cardinal had not intended to pay tribute to "old ideologies", a spokesman said.
Taboo

The BBC's Marianne Landzettel says this was no off-the-cuff remark by the cardinal, delivered in a sermon in Cologne Cathedral, but was precisely scripted..... [follow link to the rest of the story]

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE

After having a problem with my scanner, which caused me to have to improvise a solution, the text of Umberto Eco's Casablanca: Cult Movies and Intertextual Collage is available for a short time from the Course Materials page of my site.

Since some of these were difficult to see on the classroom scene, I have put them on my site. The link is just below the one for the syllabus at http://geocities.com/brbgc/Node801_course_materials.html

If you get a different edition of the Origin, and there are many, the sections you should read are the Historical Sketch, Chapters 1-3, and chapter 14.
