Seeking the means of production

Of course we have all grown up with the reality that it is not enough to merely grow as artists and develop our craft. We must also search constantly for the means of production. We must deal with the daily issues of self-preservation--food, shelter and the like. In addition, we must pursue the finances necessary to create the art that burns inside of us. The world of "day jobs" is so deeply ingrained in theatre, that it is said the only way to attract a waiter in a New York restaurant is to sh… Continue

I’d heard it before, of course – it’s long been one of my favorite pieces of American music, actually – but this time I really listened to it. And, for the first time, I understood it. It helps to know the background. In 1942, the Cincinnati Orchestra invited 18 composers to submit new pieces expressing their feelings about America. At the time, Nazi Germany had conquered most of Europe. Much of A… Continue
