One large oblong silver gelatin photo folio sized 14 x 10.5 in. mounted on black studio board sized 17 x 10.5 in. bumping & chipping at corners minor edgewear to lower fore-edge of image & board spotting on verso of board still VG image w/ good contrast. A very nice and rare early large photograph of the nascent Portland Symphony Orchestra which in 1911/1912 elected their conductors on an ongoing basis and their rotation of conductor and concertmaster rotation was determined by drawing lots. The 1911-1912 season featured conductors Carl Denton John Bayley Harold Bayley and Mose Christensen with the Bayley’s and Christensen alternating. The PSO typically drew from the Vaudeville houses dance theatre’s and even silent movie theatre orchestras in order to fill out their number and this photo captures 50 artists performing on the Heilig Theatre stage. At the time the newly opened Heilig Theatre sported a 2/5 Kimball Pipe Organ and would operate as Heilig until 1929 then the Rialto Mayfair and finally the Fox before being demolished in 1997.

Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents John Adams' "Hallelujah Junction: Composing An American Life". One of the finest memoirs by a serious composer since well Berlioz's. "Combining the narrative power of opera the atonal themes of 20th-century classical music the spooky modulations of jazz and the complex rhythms of the Beatles Adams created a new music that could express the fractiousness of the political scene of the 1960's and 1970's. Adams deftly chronicles his life and times providing along the way an incisive exploration of the creative process. Reveals the workings of a brilliant musical mind responsible for some of contemporary America's most inventive and original music" Publishers Weekly . Actually John Adams is much more than just a brilliant musical mind. By his own account Adams found his voice by fusing The Old European classical music with The New American jazz and popular music in ways that were literally unheard-of before he came along. In the process he has become possibly the greatest American composer of our time. Comes with two Compact Discs of his ground-breaking now-canonical music: "Century Rolls/Lollapalooza/Slonimsky's Earbox" Kent Nagano conducting and "Naive And Sentimental Music/Mother of The Man/Chain To The Rhythm" Esa-Pekka Salonen . An absolute "must-have" set for John Adams collectors. This copy is very prominently neatly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by John Adams. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. It comes with two 2 Compact Discs also very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker in front by John Adams. This title is a great book. As far as we know this is the only such signed set of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing and Compact Discs available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright pristine beauties. Please note: Copies of the book available online have serious flaws are subsequent printings or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed set thus. One of the greatest composers of our time. A fine collectible set. SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 0374281157. Farrar, Straus & Giroux hardcover
