THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE

Dear Colleagues,

As I write and especially as we prepare for our upcoming Southern Chapter Conference in Puerto Rico, I am amazed at how quickly this semester has gone by because of all of our academic respon-sibilities these days. Academic life doesn’t seem any easier as I get older. Was it any easier for our teachers? Those of us dealing with the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma probably also feel that this academic year has been disrupted and extremely hectic as we try to catch up with work as a result of cancelled classes for many days. I hope that things are getting better for everyone now.

Soon after Hurricane Wilma, I had the privilege of attending and participating in the CMS National Conference in beautiful Quebec City (my first trip to Canada). It was, as usual, rewarding to see the scope of what’s happening nationally – too much to even try to describe in any detail here – and I was certainly grateful for the opportunity to officially represent our chapter at the conference. Attending this conference reminded me again of the value of being involved with the College Music Society. I am convinced that the organization is and has an ongoing potential for dealing with practical as well as intellectually pertinent issues and initiatives.

It was also gratifying to see many members of the Southern Chapter doing presentations at the conference; we were well represented. I participated in a panel of Chapter Presidents, where there were reports on what transpired in chapter conference discussions of last year’s national topic, Considering Curricular Challenges: Balancing Emerging Student and Cultural Demands with Traditional Teaching and Learning. I was impressed with the high level of earnest and frank discussion. In Puerto Rico, I plan to give a brief summary of some ideas that were shared in this session before we discuss the 2006 national theme, Education in Music is Every Musician’s Responsibility, in a chapter discussion session. In Quebec, there was a breakout session where this new topic was approached from different perspectives. It will be interesting to see what will take place in our “official” chapter discussion on this topic in February.

The Southern Chapter Conference at the Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music) in San Juan during February 9-11 will be an exciting event. As you know, the 50th Anniversary of the Casals Festival will also be going on during the time of our conference. Maria del Carmen Gil, conference host, has already been most gracious in planning and organizational stages. Our keynote speaker will be David Elliott, distinguished author and educator. His talk should provide additional stimuli for our “official” chapter discussion on the national topic mentioned above. A diverse roster of presentations and concerts will also make this a truly memorable conference in a tropical setting. There were a larger number of proposals submitted this year – obviously more than we were able to include due to time limitations. In spite of this, I hope that everyone will consider attending the conference. I have found that just attending conferences, not worrying about one’s own presentation, and meeting with attendees can often be more enjoyable as well as meaningful.

Thank you for the privilege of serving the Southern Chapter,

Dennis KamPresident, CMS Southern Chapter

�

Also during the time of the conference, a very exciting musical celebration will be taking place in San Juan—the 50th Anniversary of the Casals Festival (www.festcasalspr.gobierno.pr). At 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 11, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony will be presented. Sunday, February 12, will feature a recital by Angela Hewitt at 4:00 p.m. Discounted tickets will be available to CMS members at $30.00 for ground floor and $20.00 for balcony. Children under 12 are free. To purchase tickets for these concerts, please call the Casals Festival office at (787) 721-7727, ext. 25433, 25418, or 27144, and identify yourselves as CMS members attending the San Juan conference at the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music.

Air travel destination will be to the Luis Muñoz Marín Airport in San Juan, only minutes away from the conference hotel. As Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the United States, all that is presently needed for a US citizen to fly to Puerto Rico is a photo ID (just like regular continental US air flights). However, if you plan to take a cruise or other travel once in Puerto Rico that takes you into international territory, then additional documentation would be needed; please check with the cruise lines about those requirements. CMS members who are non-US citizens need to contact US Immigration at 800-375-5283 to determine your required documentation for travel. Transportation to the hotel is available by taxicab. Major car rental companies have available airport service for those who would like to rent a car. The main language in Puerto Rico is Spanish, although many understand and speak English. Local currency is the US dollar.

Dining is available at walking distance from the Conservatory featuring a variety of restaurants including Spanish, international, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Arab, Argentinian, and Chinese cuisines. Maps of the locations will be provided with your registration materials. Fast food restaurants are also available at walking distance, as is the largest shopping mall in Puerto Rico, Plaza Las Américas.

We look forward to welcoming you during this special and very exciting 2006 CMS Southern Chapter conference. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need more information or assistance.

!Hasta pronto!

2006 Keynote Speaker

Volume 2

The Last Waltz of The BandNeil MinturnUniversity of Missouri-Columbia

NOW AVAILABLE!

Neil Minturn addresses the phenomenon of rock and roll with a seri-

ous investigation of Martin Scorsese’s documentary film The Last Waltz

(1978). This celebrated “rockumentary” artfully captures for posterity

the final public performance of The Band, a partnership of one Ameri-

can and four Canadians that yielded an impressive body of popular

song in the rock idiom between 1961 and 1976. Joining its members

for their farewell was a variety of friends and guests who—like the

music of The Band itself—reflected the rich array of vernacular expres-

sions that have nourished rock and roll since its emergence. Prof.

Minturn approaches the performances and the film itself in terms of

the concepts of intimacy and tradition. He presents the San Francisco

concert as the summation of an extraordinary musical pilgrimage and

prefaces his scene-by-scene analysis of Scorsese’s cinematic creation

with a cogent introduction to issues surrounding documentary film-

making. Selected performances are discussed in detail.
