Study needed of women's music
By ANGELA POTHETES Kansan Staff Reporter
Five years ago Mriam Green looked through an article in the Musical Courier of 1919 that talked about woman composers.
Today Green, associate professor of voice, not only has an article published on the subject, but also has plans for continuing her studies on women composers.
She is working on a book that will include a brief history of women composers and recital program structuring.
Green also plans to publish and have recordings made of women's music. She also wants to design a recital of tenor and baritone pieces to be sung by women.
This semester her students each are learning from two to five songs by women composers.
"It's excellent music and high time we taught it," she said. "It's all new territory. Quite invigorating."
Many of those involved in the discussion are doing research on women composers, she said.
Recently Green went to a convention at the University of Iowa where the College Music Society sponsored a panel discussion there on women composers.
"It were exciting because we
it all stalking out our claims
so there would be as little
asphalt as possible," Green said.
Green said present women composers and past ones were discussed at the convention.
Studies of past women composers have often been inaccurate and incomplete, she said.
Social stigmas kept women from writing openly, she said.
She had to start at the beginning with her research by going through musical encyclopedias page by page, piece by piece, Green said. She encountered problems, she said, because many women wrote under pseudonyms.
From the decline of Sappho's musical dominance in Greece in 600 B.C. until A.D. 1625, women became more conscious of recognition through performance or publication, she said.
In the court of Louis XIV there were two women composers, Elisabeth de la Guerre and Antonia Bermo.
Then, in 1625 in Italy, a woman named Francesca Caccini wrote an opera, known as a cavalry-ballet-opera, that was dreamed up to entertain a Polish prince.
In 1655 in England, Lady Dering was the first woman to publish musical compositions. Lady Dering published under the name of her instructor, Lady Lawes, a noted composer.
Another woman who published under a man's name was Fanny Mendelson Hensel. Her brother, Felix
Green said she thought it was interesting that many women composers came from musical families, where either the father, brother or husband were musically inclined.
Mendelsshon, included some of her work in his collections.

On records
One noted composer, Gustav Mahler, made his fame Alma, who also composed, promise that she wouldn't write music after they died.rene Wienklaa, daughter of a famous violinist, composed under the nom de l'ombre Poldowski, she said.
Thousands of women had been writing serious music, Green said, but many didn't. "There's no form we can socially acceptable."
Women wrote religious and children's songs, and rearranged folk songs, Green said, but the impression that women wrote only saccharine songs is an exaggeration.
"Some are pansies, but many women composers pack a lot of wallon," she said.
Women wrote about women's things, such as rearing children, but that wasn't all they wrote about, she said. Many topics, topics, trans at night, marriages and illusions. Green said.
Barbarie Paul of New York has designed a musical theatre for ideas using multi-media. Beth Anderson in San Francisco edits a monthly newsletter on women in music and Nancy Fierro, a nun in Oakland, is engaged in creating women's 'music'. Another woman has started a league of women composers, Green said.
There are women composing in countries all over the world, Green said, including in Ireland, Scotland and Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
She also said three former KU students, Martha Burk, Shila Nation Brown and Joyy Malky Castle, were composing songs.
Green said her work had been beneficial for several reasons. Green said she had established contacts and contacted she considered valuable.
She recently sent a manuscript to Holland to be published. She has mann u scripta f r South Czechoslovakia and South Africa and has corresponded with other researchers in Cuba
Green, whose office is full of manuscripts composed by women, said singing through them was hard on her voice.
Other benefits, Green said,
are that she has delved further
into poetry and history and has
developed her sight reading.
"I wish life were long enough to sing them all," she said.
The Free State...today
Singer Dave Mason performed in a recent concert at the Free State Opera House. This concert featured today in the historical building.
Those voices you hear talking from the wall may be more than beer and music playing with your mind. The walls at the beach were built around 644, Massachusetts, support a building with memories.
Fun at Free State flavored by history
Depending on the deja vu you are tuned in on, the voice could be Horace Greeley, William Quarrill or Leo Kottke. The Free State Opera House has a fascinating history.
In 1854 the town of Lawrence turned a few acres of prairie grass into the prerequisites for civilization—streets and buildings. One of the streets was Massachusetts and one of the buildings was a hardware store. The ancestor of the present Free State was a wood frame structure owned by the Allan and Glimre firm, which was added a newspaper, the Lawrence Tribute, had made its home in the addition.
Old folks swindled by greedy
By CHRISTOPHER M. RIGGS
"Tender Loving Greed" by
Mary Adelaide Mendelson,
Random House, Inc., New
 York, 245 pages, $2.50.
The author begins the book by telling of the small-time operators in the nursing home business. The few cases she cities are common throughout the United States. She tells of the money-making shortcuts many nursing home operators take. The most common are nurses who are never given, giving patients very small meals and stealing their Social Security checks.
In "Tender Loving Greed," Mary Adelaide Mendelson shows how a once unprofitable business has become a scandal ridden "industry" by run big-money manipulators.
One of the major problems is the government's lax regulation of the money paid to nursing homes. The money comes through Medicare and Medicaid and the loose regulations are a result of vigorous opposition to tighter restrictions from the
health-care establishments, the American Medical Association and the American Hospital for cried specialized medicine.
Many other tricks are used to steal money from the government and patients in nursing homes. Many operators will open bank accounts patients pay for medical checks become self-appointed protectors of the patients' funds.
One doctor billed the government for 71 patient visits on one day and 65 on another, and a total of 960 visits in a three month period. Another doctor billed the government for 90 patients on one day and 86 on another during two years "gang visit" to nursing homes. This seems possible excerpts these doctors were also handling their usual load of non-Medicaid patients.
Other nursing homes prefer healthy patients. Healthy patients are able to take care of themselves. When drugs are ordered for them, they can be billed to Medicaid and then sold
for a profit because the patient really doesn't need them. Doctors don't need to spend any time looking at the patients and can collect a nice check from the taxpayers.
When one looks at the tremendous profits that can be made, the desire to get into the nursing home business is understandable. It isn't unusual in a industry to make a bundle of nurses for a nursery nursing, yet never really lose possession of it.
it seems that anyone can get into the business. Insurance companies, finance corporations, banks and even a bank-owned coop are shown by Mendelson with "Tender Loving Greed."
Overall the book was interesting, as many muckraking stories are. But toward the end the author mentions that Mendonka began to go over曼陀罗 that forced the reader to turn back to see who was who. Also, the author does blame the government for lack of regulations on the drug industry in important question: How do we remedy the situation?
The expansion was cut short by Quarrilt's destruction of Lawrence. Because of the prevailed storm, the state should be free or slave, the town became a target of hostilities. In August of 1863 Quarrilt destroyed much of the store, including the hardware store.
In 1868 the store's ruins were replaced with a two-story brick building erected by Samuel Edwin Poole. Poleo operated a meat packing plant in the basement, and Dwight Thatcher editor of the newspaper the Lawrence Reporter on the second floor. But the newsrooms of the time thrived on versatility.
By 1870 the second floor had become popular for social and political gatherings, and for fifteen years it was the center of Lawrence's social life. At the University Church suppers, raffles, dances and political debates commonly were held there. Controversial speeches by Anna Dickinson, avid abolitionist, and Horace Greeley, popular newspaper was more typical. Bredom was rare.
In 1885 the building was bought by J. D. Bowersock. He served as postmaster, mayor, and treasurer of the city senator. When he tired of politics he could have spent time at Bowersock MILL, the Lawrence University bangle his duties as president of the Lawrence National Bank.
Bowersock had a large effect on the early growth of Lawrence, and it was he who opened the first playhouse, in Liberty Hall.
Frank March was the first manager of the playhouse, and Fay Templeton was the first attraction. In keeping with the history of the new theater, Liberty Hall the new theater was also host to controversy.
On February 18, 1911, a fire destroyed the building. The fire was credited to faulty wiring and damage was estimated at $25,000. But the ashes were soon replaced by a new structure.
By January 22, 1912, the new Bowersock Opera House was formally opened by the mayor with the thanks of the city. The reconstructed building was part of a new age.
One comment about it concerned the electrical effects: "The most attractive feature of the new Bowersock is the meticulously incrusted with art glass panels and lighted with electricity."
But even the fancy electricity couldn't keep the old opera house alive forever. The same technology that brought the Dickens to life brought the entertainment world moving pictures. The Bowersock became the Dickenson and then later the Jayhawker Theater. It also took a lot of time to come up with the adaptation when, for three of four years, it was used as a warehouse for Hallmark Cards.
Music and students are still there, although the name has changed and is now more expressive of the building's bertie-like architecture. House, operated by Robert Gould, assistant professor of architecture and urban design, is the descendant of a long line of theyathers. So listen to the walls—they have quite a story to tell.
