Orchestral music
The work is a musical depiction of an eponymous dance hall in Mexico
City and even carries the subtitle, "A Popular Type Dance Hall in Mexico City."
Copland began the work in 1932 and completed it in 1936. The Mexico Symphony
Orchestra gave the first performance under the direction of Carlos Chávez (1937).
The piece was premiered in the U.S. in 1938. Although Copland visited Mexico early
in the 1930s, he based this tone poem not on songs he heard there, but rather on
written sheet music for at least four Mexican folk songs that he had obtained: "El
Palo Verde," "La Jesusita," "El Mosco," and "El Malacate." At least two arrangements
of the piece exist in addition to the orchestral score. Copland adapted the work for
the 1947 musical film Fiesta, directed by Richard Thorpe for MGM. Leonard Bernstein
created arrangements for solo piano and for two pianos, four-hands very shortly
after the premiere. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Salon_Mexico. Accessed

American composer and conductor. He studied with Walter
Piston and Edward Burlingame Hill at Harvard University (1935–9) and with Fritz
Reiner (conducting), Randall Thompson (orchestration), and Isabelle Vengerova
(piano) at the Curtis Institute, Philadelphia (1939–41). He also studied conducting
under Koussevitzky at the Tanglewood summer schools (1940–3). In 1943 he made a
highly successful debut, substituting for Bruno Walter at a New York Philharmonic
concert; this launched him on his international career as a conductor and eventually
led to his appointment as music director of the orchestra (1958–68) (Source: The

Educator
American composer. The son of immigrant Jewish parents
from Lithuania, he learnt the piano from the age of 13 and had theory lessons from
Rubin Goldmark. He then studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris (1921–4) and, as one
of her first American pupils, gained a facility for neo-classicism which he
skilfully and brashly combined with jazz in his Piano Concerto (1926). This and
other early works, including the Dance Symphony (1925) and Piano Variations (1930),
quickly gained him a reputation in America as a daring modernist (Source: The Oxford
Companion to Music, Oxford Music Online. Accessed

Founded in 1842 by a group of local musicians led by
American-born Ureli Corelli Hill, the New York Philharmonic is by far the oldest
symphony orchestra in the United States, and one of the oldest in the world. It
currently plays some 180 concerts a year, and on December 18, 2004, gave its
14,000th concert — a milestone unmatched by any other symphony orchestra in the
world. (Source: http://nyphil.org/about/overview.cfm. Accessed

In 1921, when the IU Department of Music became the School
of Music, Dean Winfred Merrill began collecting a library of recordings, books, and
scores for student and faculty use. This library was housed in glass cases in the
Dean's office, and was supervised by his secretary. By 1928 the collection was of
sufficient size to be listed as a departmental library in the University's guide to
the library. With the opening in 1937 of the new Music Building (since renamed for
Dean Merrill), separate quarters were provided for the Music Library on the
building's second floor. In 1939, Indiana's first full-time music librarian was
appointed, Miss Ethyl Louise Lyman. (Source:
