Collection Overview

Title: School of Music Audio Department Sound Recordings, 1945-2009

ID: 12/5/64

Primary Creator: School of Music Audio Department

Other Creators: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. School of Music

Extent: 334.0 cubic feet

Arrangement:

Organized in thirteen series: Series 1, University of Illinois Ensembles; Series 2, Faculty Recitals; Series 3, Student Recitals; Series 4, Festival of Contemporary Arts, 1953-1978; Series 5, Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra; Series 6, Convocations, Symposia, Forums and Guest Recitals; Series 7, Special Requests and Donations; Series 8, Card Catalogs; Series 9, Transcription Discs; Series 10: DAT Sound Recordings; Series 11: F1 Audio and Betamax Video Recordings; Series 12: CD-R and DVD Sound Recordings, 1951-2009; and Series 13: Rex Anderson Master Recordings, 1977-1991.

Recordings in series 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 are arranged by call numbers as originally assigned by the Music and Performing Arts Library, which begin with a MO number or Music Archive Tape number. All items included within these series that do not have identifying numbers are arranged chronologically at the end of the series. Recordings in Series 4, Series 7, Series 9, Series 10, and Series 11 are arranged chronologically, with the exception of the end of Series 7, which contains items arranged by call number beginning with the letter "R". Series 9 in particular, has been arranged chronologically rather than by record label number because several of the original label numbers duplicate, many are missing, many appear out of order, and the record labels changed in early 1949 from a four digit label (ex. 5000/5001) to a single digit label (ex. 1/2). Series 12 is arranged by item number as originally assigned by the School of Music Audio Department, and is largely, though not consistently, chronological by recording date. Some cases include duplicate recordings of concerts, each assigned a unique item number despite sharing the same archival number. Some recordings dated prior to 2000 are noted as either remastered copies, reel-to-reel transfers, and DAT to CD-R transfers. Series 13 is arranged alphabetically by the performer's surname.

Note: Cards in Series 8 include all extant cards from the Music and Performing Arts Library that correspond to the recordings; cards marked "Withdrawn" indicate tapes that were deaccessioned based on their being duplicates or on other appraisal decisions.

Biographical Note

The School of Music purchased its first recording equipment in 1948 (University of Illinois, 1948). Since then, the School of Music Audio Department has provided recording services for student, faculty, and guest performers at University venues including Smith Music Hall, the Krannert Center for Performing Arts, and the Music Building Recording Studios (University of Illinois School of Music, 2013). Past Directors of the Audio Department include Jim Campbell, Carl Volkers (ca. 1950s-1976), Jeff Whimsatt (1976-78), and Rex Anderson (1978-2010). Following Anderson's retirement in 2010, audio engineers Frank Horger and Bill Demkov jointly managed the department until Demkov left the position in 2015. Horger then solely oversaw the recordings until 2020, when the management of the recordings was transferred to Graham Duncan. Duncan worked for the Audio Department as a part-time employee from 2002-2005 and 2007-2021, at which point he was appointed the full-time audio director.

The Festival of Contemporary Arts, first organized in 1948, included as part of its programming dance, theater, landscape architecture, music and an Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting and Sculpture. The Festival's music events included a variety of concerts, lectures, and workshops that were produced by University faculty and student ensembles, and guest composers and performers. The styles of new music performance incorporated into these festivals encompassed everything from contemporary orchestral, jazz, opera, and choral music to new forms of performance art. Initially held annually, the five- to six-week festival of performing and studio arts became a biennial event after 1953. Budgetary concerns led to the effective end of the festival after 1971, however, a related Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts was held in 1978.

Acquisition Source: School of Music Audio Department

Appraisal Information: Several items within all series were deaccessioned due to decay, lack of information on the object, and duplication elsewhere within the collection or at other archives. Several discs in series 9 were deaccessioned due to acetate breakdown, but a description of the record number and works performed have been retained within the collection record.

Series 9: Transcription Discs, 1948-1951

Consists of 12" and three 10" acetate transcription discs. The discs are arranged chronologically, however, listed for each disc is an original label number given to the disc by the School of Music Audio Department. Between 1948 and 1949, the School of Music Audio department changed it's record label numbers from a four digit system starting at 5000 to a single digit system starting with 1. Most B sides of the discs follow with the next number in the label system, however, several numbers have been duplicated, some sides do not contain a number, and some B sides jump several numbers within the arrangement. While the Audio department may have meant for the number system to function as an original order, due to the way the material was recorded, it seems that the original order was discarded in favor of using available discs they had on hand at the time.

Series 9 includes lectures, lecture-recitals, faculty recitals, student recitals, orchestra concerts, band concerts, choir and glee club concerts, student organized ensembles, early concerts for the Festival of Contemporary Arts, and special guest concerts. In addition, the series contains a number of important early youth music concerts and series including the second annual Illinois All-State Festival concert. Of particular interest are lectures by Aaron Copland and Paul Hindemith, and concerts given by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, Igor Stravinsky, Soulima Stravinsky, Gabor Magyar, Georges Enesco, and the Walden String Quartet.
