World Music Bank Plan
Developed by Conductor
New York The American
Symphony Orchestra league
has received a grant from the
Rockefeller Foundation in the
amount of $6,450, enabling
the league .to take the first
steps in developing a project
designed to encourage inter
national knowledge and per
formance of contemporary
music through establishment
of a "World Music Bank".
Igor Buketoff, conductor of
the Fort Wayne Philharmonic
orchestra, developed the
World Music Bank plan and
brought it to the attention of
the League and the Rockefel
ler foundation. Basically, the
Music Bank will operate in
the following manner: Dis
tinguished juries in each par
ticipating country will select
a small list of symphonic
works which they feel can
serve as a fitting introduction
of their country's music to
potential listeners and per
formers in other parts of the
world. Copies of scores and
recordings of works so select
ed will be deposited in each
of the duplicate branches of
the World Music bank. Con
ductors, composers, educa
tors and critics will be able
to borrow materials from the
bank for study' purposes with
an eye toward ultimate per
formance. The jury which will select
the 1957-58 deposits of Ameri
can music includes Alfred
Frankenstein, music critic,
San Francisco Chronicle, and
the following leading Ameri
can composers: Aaron Cop
land, Howard Hanson, Peter
Mennin, Walter Piston, Wil
liam Schumann and Roger
Sessions.
The national office of the
American Symphony Orches
tra league in Charleston,
W.Va., has been designated as
the United States headquar
ters for the World Music
bank. Scores and recording
of the United States deposits
for 1957-58 will be available
for loan about the first of
December.
First Branch
The first foreign branch of
the World Music bank will
be established iii Scandinavia,
and will include deposits of
contemporary music from
Denmark, Finland, Norway
and Sweden. Juries from each
of these countries are now
being organized for selection
of the 1957-58 music deposits
by each country. Copies of
records and scores of the
United States deposits will be
presented to the Scandinavian
branch of the World Music
bank. In like manner, scores
and records of the works of
the Scandinavian composers
will be deposited in the Unit
ed States branch.
Mr. Buketoff stated that the
idea of a "World Music Bank"
developed last winter- while
he was touring Europe and
appearing as a guest conduc
tor in Scandinavia. In each
country he sought counsel and
advice from leading conduc
tors, composers and critics
on the contemporary music of
their own country which they
recommended for U.S. audi
ences. He found an extensive
reciprocal interest in informa
tion concerning American
compositions which would
represent significant Ameri
can contemporary music.
"We were all asking the
same questions of each other:
'We want to know the music
of your country but we want
to meet you through your bet
ter works. How can we know
what they are and where to
obtain scores and recordings
for study purposes?' Then, of
course, came the arduous task
of exchanging the necessary
i d e A t i fying information of
names and addresses of pub
lishers, recording companies,
etc.
"It soon became obvious
that these exchanges could be
made very easy if an Ameri
can conductor could simply
write some central depository
in the' United States asking
that there be sent to him the
scores and records of the rec
ommended contemporary Bel
gian composers, or the Afri
can composers, or of the Japa
nese composers: or if a con
ductor in Japan could call a
depository in Japan and ask
for the loan of the deposits
of the French composers or
the American composers.
Plan Explained
"We decided that we must
have a World Music Bank,"
continued Buketoff. "We can
start gradually first select
ing the American works, then
asking a few other countries
to participate by choosing a
small list of their finest con
temporary writing. Deposits
will be exchanged between
these countries, and then be
tween others as the participa
tion widens. Inasmuch as it
is planned to change juries
and re-evaluate the lists every
year or two, more composers
and additional works will be
added gradually to the Music
Bank deposits."
The Music Bank plan has
reviewed with many leading
critics, composers and con
ductors in several countries.
Most of them feel it will be
of tremendous help in encour
aging international perform
ances of and interest in con
temporary music of all par
ticipating countries.
Announcement of the Amer
ican works to be selected for
the 1957-58 World Music
Bank deposits will be made
shortly according to Mrs.
Helen M. Thompson, execu
tive secretary of the Ameri
can Symphony Orchestra
league.

Jackson County Leader In
Parent Education Effort
Techniques in group dy
namics were the main subject
of discussion at a meeting of
community parent education
leaders January 23 in the
county school superintendent's
conference room. Dr. Ray
Lowe', associate professor of
education at the University of
Oregon, Eugene told the lead
ers that Jackson county is the
only area of the state where
a concerted effort is being
made in parent education.
He considers parenthood
one of the most specific arts
of our complex world, yet, the
one for which compartively
little preparation and train
ing are available. Compliance
with marriage law require
ments and the advent of be
coming a parent do not quali
fy one for being an effective
parent, Dr. Lowe commented.
In community parent educa
tion groups, parents may con
sider and discuss attitudes and
behavior of children of a cer
tain age, and share the bene
fits of resource material as
well as one another's experi
ence and approach to the per
sonality traits of these chil
dren. Parent-teacher association
activities and programs are
geared to parent-educated pur
poses. Too often, Dr. Lowe
said, parents come to a PTA
meeting expecting to be enter
tained rather than expecting
to share an educational ex
perience. Neighborhood par
ent education study groups
are an attempt at an intel
ligent approach to parent
hood, he copcluded.
Dr. Lowe, who teaches
classes at the University of
Oregon in human develop
ment, guidance and counsel
ling met with the Jackson
County Mental Health com
mittee in the Public Health
department at noon. Rev.
Thomas McCamant, chairman,
said the group has been study
ing the need of family counsel
ling for Jackson County.
Their report has been com
pleted and is now to be re
viewed by the Southern Ore
gon Child Guidance clinic ex
ecutive board.
A group representing the
field of education, health as
sociation, parent-teacher as
sociation, ministerial associ
ation, Southern Oregon col
lege personnel and the Child
Guidance clinic, met with Dr.
Lowe in the evening to con
sider the feasibility of a con
ference in family life relations
for this region. Such confer
ences have proved worthwhile
endeavors in many areas of
the northwest, it was reported
by those who have attended
in recent years. Inquiries are
being sent to leaders of this
field for information on re
source material and person
nel that may be available to
the group for the proposed
conference. There will be
another meeting of this group
within the next two months,
according to Mrs. Henry Padg
ham, who conducted the meeting.
