Light Usage Some Browning Of Covers Pencil Ownership Information And A Couple Of Pencil Notes In Margins. Per Wikipedia Charles Wakefield Cadman 1881 - 1946 Was An American Composer. For 40 Years He Worked Closely With Nelle Richmond Eberhart Who Wrote Most Of The Texts To His Songs Including Four American Indian Songs. She Also Wrote The Librettos For His Five Operas Two Of Which Were Based On Indian Themes. He Composed In A Wide Variety Of Genres. He Was Greatly Influenced By American Indian Music Which He Had Been Studying Especially Through The Work Of Ethnologists Alice Fletcher And Francis La Flesche. Fletcher And La Flesche Had Studied The Omaha Tribe And Recorded Their Music And Stories. Having Published Several Articles On American Indian Music Cadman Became Regarded As One Of The Foremost Experts On The Subject. In 1908 He Began Touring To Present Lectures Known As The "Indian Talk" Or "Indian Music Tour" Accompanied By The Performance Of Native American Music And His Own Compositions. Tsianina Redfeather Muscogee / Cherokee Billed As "Princess Redfeather" Performed As A Singer On Some Of His Tours. Her Signature Song Was Cadman's "From The Land Of The Sky-Blue Water". Another Such Song Was "At Dawning" Which Became Widely Known In The 1920S. Cadman Toured Both The Us And Europe For 25 Years To Present This Lecture. Cadman Drew From Omaha And Iroquois Songs For His Four American Indian Songs Op. 45 Which Became His First Commercial Success In 1909. This Was Aided By Performances Of These Songs By Noted Soprano Lillian Nordica Who Was On A Concert Tour. In The Summer Of 1909 He Went To Nebraska To Study The Music And Traditional Instruments Of The Omaha And Winnebago Tribes. He Lived With The People On Their Reservations Learning To Play Their Instruments. During His Trip To The West He Met Francis La Flesche An Omaha Ethnologist Who Was Working With The Smithsonian Institution On Studies Of The Omaha And Osage Peoples. Cadman Assisted Him In Making Recordings On Wax Cylinders Of Traditional Songs. These Works Are Now Held By The Library Of Congress And Some 60 Songs Are Available Online. Cadman Drew From La Flesche's Recordings And He Was Also Interested In His Stories Collected From These Peoples. They Began Work That Year On An Opera; Cadman Had Already Started To Pull Melodies From Three Printed Collections Of Omaha And Pawnee Music Published By Ethnologist Alice Cunningham Fletcher Who Also Was With The Smithsonian. The Songs Were Transcribed Or Harmonized By Others. Cadman And Eberhart Worked Closely With La Flesche By Mail And He Continued To Provide Cadman With Omaha Melodies For The Opera. They Were Not Permitted To Use Melodies Which La Flesche Had Collected For An As Yet Unpublished Report For The Smithsonian. Together With Librettist Nelle Richmond Eberhart Cadman And La Flesche Worked Together For About Three More Years To Create An Opera Based On Omaha Stories And Music. Cadman Made Occasional Indian Music Tours To Raise Money For The Project. He Moved To Denver In 1911. Cadman Completed The Music For Da O Ma 1912 And Sought A Venue For It But It Was Never Produced Or Published. It Was Rejected By The Boston Opera Company The White-Smith Music Publishing Company Which Had Published Numerous Songs By Cadman; And The Metropolitan Opera. In The Course Of Their Work The Team Had Changed The Opera From An Omaha To Sioux Lakota/Dakota Setting. Cadman Did Gain Some Distribution For This Music: Selections From The Opera Were Published By White-Smith In 1917 As A Piano Suite And By Boosey In 1920 As An Orchestral Suite. <br/> <br/> White-Smith Music Publishing Cp paperback

Lehmer was awarded his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1900 from the University of Chicago for his thesis Asymptotic Evaluation of Certain Totient-Sums. He went on to publish a number of important papers in the field of advanced mathematics the most famous of which was his "Factor Stencils" that was published in 1929. But oddly and like many mathematicians he had a real penchant for writing music. Over a period of years he published many collections of songs which he composed including Seven Indian Songs from the Yosemite Valley 1924 Down the stream and other Indian songs 1927 Indian camp-fire songs 1930 Indian songs from the Northland 1931 Fingers of the sun and other Indian songs from the Sierra slopes 1931 Songs from the Mesas 1932 Songs from the Tundras 1932 The Ballad of San Francisco Bay 1937 and Five Little songs 1937.

1949List3603Various publishers 1949. Three titles as follows: J’ai deux Amours. Fox-trot chanté par Josephine Baker. Paris: Éditions Salabert 1930. 4 pp. Fine condition;. Near fine condition. A tight visually appealing trio of illustrated Parisian sheet music issues tracing Josephine Baker’s arc from Jazz Age sensation to postwar cultural legend. J’ai deux Amours—arguably her defining anthem—captures the carefully crafted dual identity that propelled Baker’s rise: African American expatriate turned Parisian icon marketed simultaneously as modernist spectacle and cosmopolitan muse. As scholars have noted Baker’s image circulated widely through commercial ephemera such as sheet music covers where graphic design celebrity branding and racialized fantasy converged in the interwar marketplace.1<br /> <br /> Sur Deux Notes reflects Baker’s assimilation into mainstream chanson culture and her ongoing collaborations within Paris’s cabaret milieu while Revoir Paris issued after World War II resonates with her decorated service in the French Resistance and her celebrated return to the Folies Bergère stage. Together these pieces offer a compact visual and musical snapshot of Baker’s evolving persona across two decades—part performance artifact part cultural document and wholly emblematic of Paris as a crossroads of Black modernism and popular entertainment.<br /> <br /> 1 Bennetta Jules-Rosette Josephine Baker in Art and Life: The Icon and the Image University of Illinois Press 2007.

Quickly showing musical aptitude he was sent to a local community school after his parents maintained they wanted him to have as "normal" an upbringing as possible. Despite living in relative poverty they rejected offers from large circuses and carnivals to take Roy in and did their best to ensure he could make up his own mind as to what career he wished to pursue. Eventually after the death of hs father relatively young Roy did take up Ripley's "Believe it or Not Oddities" offer to perform and became somewhat of a musical celebrity and radio star and by the 1950's he had a daily show on WPDX in West Virginia. 63910.
