Scope and Contents of the Materials
The James F. Keene Personal Papers consist of seven cubic feet of personal papers, photographs, administrative records, audio recordings, and lecture notes documenting Keene's career as the director of the University of Illinois Bands, 1985-2008, as well as his time spent at the University of Michigan, East Texas State University (now Texas A&M University), and the University of Arizona. Under Keene's direction, the University of Illinois Bands program continued to define collegiate performance practices throughout the United States during the last two decades of the twentieth century. Keene's papers also highlight his time as President of the American Band Association, Chairman of the Otswald Competition Contest (1996-1998), and President of the Champaign Rotary Club (1995-96). Of particular interest is a 1952 audio recording of Leopold Stokowski in rehearsal with Illinois music ensembles and early University of Illinois Bands concert programs.
Biographical Note
James Frederick Keene (1948-2022) was born in Detroit, Michigan. Keene earned his bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Michigan, where he studied with William Revelli, Elizabeth Green, and Larry Teal. Keene came to the University of Illinois in 1985 after directing the band program at the University of Arizona (1983-1985) and East Texas State University (1975-1980) and after serving as the Assistant Director of Bands with the University of Michigan (1973-1975). He retired in 2008 after a distinguished 23 year career (1985-2008) as the Director of Bands at the University of Illinois School of Music, just the fourth person to hold the title since 1905. During his tenure at the University of Illinois he was awarded the title of Brownfield Distinguished Professor of Music, performed at Carnegie Hall, and conducted the University Symphonic Band and Wind Symphony at major national and international music conferences. Commercial recordings of band concerts that he conducted have been broadcast on U.S. National Public Radio and internationally on radio programs in Asia, Australia, and Europe. Keene was a Past-President of the American Bandmasters Association (ABA), Big Ten Band Directors Association, and National Band Association. He was one of just six people to be awarded the Honorary Life Membership for the Texas Bandmaster Association. Besides membership in professional and honorary societies, Keene was a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary International Foundation, serving as president of the Champaign Rotary Club in 1995-1996. He served on the ABA's "The Journal of Band Research" Editorial Board and chairman for the ABA Ostwald Composition Contest. Keene also chaired the University Bands Division Bachelors and Masters of Music programs at his alma mater, the University of Michigan.
