At 6PM over NBC's WEAF, The Catholic Hour took to the air with an address from Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen. Fulton John Sheen was born on May 8th, 1895 in El Paso, Illinois. He was ordained a priest in 1919, quickly becoming a renowned theologian. He won the Cardinal Mercier Prize for International Philosophy in 1923 and went on to teach theology and philosophy at the Catholic University of America. Beginning in 1930, Father Sheen began a twenty-year run hosting The Catholic Hour on NBC before moving into TV to present Life is Worth Living and The Fulton Sheen Program. Twice winning an Emmy for Most Outstanding TV personality, he was also featured on the cover of TIME magazine. He was appointed an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New York in 1951, holding the position until 1966 when he was made Bishop of Rochester. He resigned in 1969 near his seventy-fifth birthday and would live until December 9th, 1979. In 2002, twenty-two years after his death, an official cause for canonization into sainthood was opened. Pope Benedict XVI officially recognized his life of "heroic virtues." However, his 2019 beatification was postponed after the current Bishop of Rochester expressed concern that Sheen mishandled a sexual misconduct case against a priest. Although the Diocese of Peoria countered that his handling of the case had already been thoroughly investigated, as of 2024 Fulton J. Sheen's beatification is still postponed. Opposite The Catholic Hour, The Blue Network aired The Radio Hall of Fame on WJZ. Hosted by Deems Taylor and sponsored by Philco, The Radio Hall of Fame was conceived as a weekly Academy Award of radio through Variety Magazine, focusing on that week's hits. When it was launched in December of 1943, there was serious questioning as to whether it was proper for Variety to be so intimately involved. How could a trade paper whose business was reviewing show business enter into its production? Ben Bodec, a fifteen-year Variety reporter quit in protest, but the show went on without a hitch. It was a glittering spectacle, stars like Fred Allen, Bob Hope, Sophie Tucker, Groucho Marx, Bing Crosby, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and the Andrews Sisters all appeared. It would air until April 28th, 1946.

SynopsisIn the 1930s, many Americans had a hard time making ends meet. During the Great Depression, opera and concert tickets didn't always figure into most family's budgets, but thanks to live radio broadcasts, American families enjoyed a veritable Golden Age of operatic and symphonic music in the comfort of their homes.On Christmas Day in 1931, NBC made radio history when it broadcast a matinee performance of Engelbert Humperdinck's opera Hansel und Gretel live from the stage of the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City to radio listeners coast to coast. The on-air host was American composer Deems Taylor, whose opera Peter Ibbetson would be included in a live Met broadcast the following spring.And on Christmas Day in 1937, music of Antonio Vivaldi opened the first live NBC Symphony broadcast conducted by legendary Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini. Live NBC Symphony broadcasts under Toscanini would continue until the conductor's retirement in 1954. Along with Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, Toscanini included a handful of American works in his programs and, in 1938, conducted the broadcast premiere of Samuel Barber's well-known Adagio for Strings.Music Played in Today's ProgramEnglebert Humperdinck (1854-1921) Hansel and Gretel Overture; Bamberg Symphony; Karl Anton Rickenbacher, cond.

Synopsis In February of 1919, members of the New York Chamber Music Society gave the premiere performance of this music—an instrumental suite by the American composer Deems Taylor, titled Through the Looking Glass. A few years later, Deems Taylor landed a job as music critic for the New York World, and following that, became known coast-to-coast as the radio commentator for New York Philharmonic broadcasts, and as the host of a popular quiz-show titled Information, Please. His voice was also heard as the commentator for the 1940 Disney film, Fantasia. On today's date in 1980, another American composer premiered a musical work inspired by Alice in Wonderland. This was David Del Tredici's In Memory of a Summer's Day, first presented by the St. Louis Symphony conducted by Leonard Slatkin. By 1980, Del Tredici had already composed several successful works inspired by the Lewis Carroll books, but In Memory of Summer's Day capped the lot, and won that year's Pulitzer Prize for Music. Del Tredici was a protégé of Aaron Copland, and recalled how Copland would react to Del Tredici's compositions. "He'd say something noncommittal at first, such as 'It's very nice.' Then maybe an hour or so later, at dinner, he would turn to me, apropos of nothing, and say, 'I think the bass line is too regular, and the percussion should not always underline the main beat and would you please pass the butter.'"

Synopsis On today's date in 1994, at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, the Chicago Symphony and conductor Daniel Barenboim gave the world premiere performance of Partita by the American composer Elliott Carter, specially commissioned in honor of the composer's 85th birthday. It was a major work, and a major occasion – but, as the Chicago Tribune's music critic John von Rheim put it, that date “will forever be known as the Night the Lights Went Out on Elliott Carter.” Just as the orchestra was playing the final pages of Carter's complex score, the house lights went out. The audience gasped. The orchestra stopped playing. Not sure what to do, the audience started applauding. Then, after a moment or two the lights came back on. After breathing a sigh of relief, Barenboim and the orchestra prepared to pick up where they had left off – and then the lights went out again! Turning to the audience, Barenboim quipped, "It's a good thing we and Mr. Carter are not superstitious." Well, eventually the lights came back on – and stayed on, enabling the Orchestra to finish the premiere of Carter's Partita. But, perhaps as a kind of insurance policy – later on Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony also made a live recording of the new work.

In this episode, we dig into a conversation with Marsha Music. Marsha is the daughter of pre-Motown record producer Joe Von Battle. She's also an acclaimed writer of essays, poems, and narratives on life in Detroit. Together, we celebrate the work of Betty DeRamus. Betty DeRamus is a veteran and award-winning journalist, DeRamus was the jury's pick and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1993. She has been awarded a Michigan Press Association Award, as well as a Deems Taylor award for a profile of Roberta Flack published in Essence. A passion for the troubles and triumphs of ordinary people, Betty DeRamus wrote two nonfiction books, Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories from the Underground Railroad and Freedom by Any Means: True Stories of Cunning and Courage on the Underground Railroad. We explore how DeRamus's practice of creative storytelling connects to Music's role as a griot in the Black community. Marsha also discusses how the history of Detroit informs her identity as a writer.  In this episode, we talk about:  The history of Detroit and the Black Bottom Neighborhood The importance and validity of oral history  How to find inspiration in the place where you live  Resources:  Marsha Music - Website: https://marshamusic.wordpress.com/ Referenced Works The Detroitist Betty DeRamus  About: https://mijournalismhalloffame.org/betty-deramus/ Referenced Works Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories from the Underground Railroad Freedom by Any Means: True Stories of Cunning and Courage on the Underground Railroad.    ◉ Get in Touch: Nourish.community  ◉ IG: @nourish____  ◉ Support this podcast at — https://nourish.community/donate/  ◉ Advertising Inquiries: hello@nourishevents.org

Synopsis In a creative life that spanned over 60 years, the American composer Howard Hanson never wavered in his belief that music should be tonal in nature and fundamentally Romantic in style, with strong and clear melodic lines. By the mid-1950s, many other European and American composers were espousing a far different approach to music, favoring an abstract and often densely complex style, more in harmony with the non-representational canvases of the painter Jackson Pollack than the meticulous realism of, say, Norman Rockwell. On today's date in 1955, this music, Hanson's Symphony No. 5, had its premiere performance by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy. It's the most compact of Hanson's seven symphonies, a single-movement work in three sections lasting just 15 minutes. Hanson titled the work “Sinfonia Sacra” or “A Sacred Symphony,” and suggested it was inspired by the account of Christ's resurrection in the Gospel of St. John. “The Sinfonia Sacra does not attempt programmatically to tell the story of the first Easter,” wrote Hanson, “but does attempt to invoke some of the atmosphere of tragedy and triumph, mysticism and affirmation of this story, which is the essential symbol of the Christian faith.” Music Played in Today's Program Howard Hanson (1896 - 1981) — Symphony No. 5 (Sinfonia Sacra) (Seattle Symphony; Gerard Schwarz, cond.)

Duffy's Tavern is an American radio situation comedy that ran for a decade on several networks (CBS, 1941–42; NBC-Blue Network, 1942–44; and NBC, 1944–51), concluding with the December 28, 1951, broadcast.The program often featured celebrity guest stars but always hooked them around the misadventures of Archie, the tavern's manager, portrayed by Ed Gardner. Archie was prone to involvement in get-rich-quick schemes and romantic missteps, and constantly communicated with malaprops and mixed metaphors. Gardner had performed the character of Archie, talking about Duffy's Tavern, as early as November 9, 1939, when he appeared on NBC's Good News of 1940 Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Synopsis In the 1930s and 40s, radio's so-called “Golden Age,” Deems Taylor was the dominant “voice” of classical radio. Taylor was both the broadcast announcer of the New York Philharmonic on the CBS Network, and the opera commentator for NBC. He was also the voice-over narrator in the famous Disney animated film “Fantasia”. In his day, Deems Taylor was also a very successful composer, producing a wide variety of works ranging from orchestral works to grand operas, including two that were commissioned by and staged at the prestigious Metropolitan Opera in New York: “The King's Henchman,” composed to a libretto by Edna St. Vincent Millay premiered there in 1927, and “Peter Ibbetson,” based on a novel by George du Maurier, in 1931. Deems Taylor was also a very fine writer and critic on musical topics, and the author of several books. He was born in New York City on today's date in 1885 and died there in 1966. The year after his death, ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, established the annual Deems Taylor Awards to acknowledge outstanding coverage of music topics – and in the interest of full disclosure, this program, Composers Datebook was one of the recipients of that award.

Synopsis Remember “Y2K” — the Millennial Year 2000? It was a time of extravagant hopes and dire predictions, as pundits and prophets weighed in as the 20th century hastened to its end. Composers weighed in, too. The American Composers Forum and the National Endowment for the Arts collaborated on a project entitled “Continental Harmony” which commissioned new musical works for public celebrations in communities large and small in all 50 states. The ambitious commissioning project was even endorsed by the Clinton White House. Premieres of many “Continental Harmony” commissions occurred on or near the Fourth of July in the year 2000. On today's date, for example, on the eve of the Fourth, the Richmond Symphony in Virginia premiered an orchestra work entitled “From Time to Time: Fantasias on Two Appalachian Folksongs” composed by Anthony Iannaccone, who explained the title of his new piece as follows: “The extraordinary beauty of Virginia and the resilient spirit of its people provided the inspiration for an extended tone poem based first on the folksong ‘Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair'... [and then] ‘Shenandoah,' presented in fragments... the orchestra extracts the folk melody and recasts it as a kind of Fourth of July fireworks display.” Music Played in Today's Program Anthony Iannaccone (b. 1943) From Time to Time Janacek Philharmonic; Anthony Iannaccone, cond.

In the 1930s, many Americans had a hard time making ends meet. During the Great Depression, opera and concert tickets didn’t always figure into most family’s budgets, but thanks to live radio broadcasts, American families enjoyed a veritable “Golden Age” of operatic and symphonic music in the comfort of their own homes. On Christmas Day in 1931, the NBC network made radio history when they broadcast a matinee performance of Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera “Hansel und Gretel” live from the stage of the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City to radio listeners coast to coast. The on-air host was the American composer Deems Taylor, whose own opera, “Peter Ibbetson,” would be included in a live Met broadcast the following spring. And on Christmas Day in 1937, music of Antonio Vivaldi opened the first live NBC Symphony broadcast conducted by the legendary Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini. Live NBC Symphony broadcasts under Toscanini would continue until the famous conductor’s retirement in 1954. Along with Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, Toscanini included a handful of American works in his programs, and in 1938, conducted the broadcast premiere of Samuel Barber’s famous “Adagio for Strings.”

Il 13 novembre 1940 esce nelle sale cinematografiche il film animato "Fantasia". Composto da otto capitoli costruiti su brani di musica classica diretti da Leopold Stokowski, sette di questi sono eseguiti dall'Orchestra di Filadelfia. Il critico musicale e compositore Deems Taylor agisce come "maestro di cerimonie", introducendo ogni segmento in scene live action interstiziali.Bibliografia:- https://www.ilpost.it/2015/11/13/fantasia-disney-75-anni/- https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_(film)#Toccata_e_fuga_in_Re_minore:_l'astrazione_visuale- https://www.nytimes.com/reviews/movies?res=9801E2DA1738E532A25757C1A9679D946193D6CF- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrkhAyuAEmE&t=1492sVoce e testi: Ilaria Cecchinato

Hey, friends! It's time for another episode of Mousterpiece Cinema in which Josh and Scott go back and revisit a title that was already discussed on the podcast. This time, they're going back to a movie that Josh talked about in 2012, the 1940 animated classic Fantasia. They're joined on the new show by Charles Bramesco of Vulture, The Guardian, and the New York Times, to talk all things Fantasia, from the film's ambition to its animation style, Deems Taylor, and yes, the problematic elements of the "Pastoral Symphony" sequence. Has Josh's take on the film changed in 6 years? Is he once again the most critical of the film? Does it even matter to be critical of a film as remarkably daring as this one? Find out now!
