SUMMARY:R. Nathaniel Dett: The Michigan Connection
DESCRIPTION:
 Presented by Mary Black Junttonen, Music Librarian, 
 Michigan State University Libraries\n
 \n
 Cosponsored by American Life and Music\n
 \n
 Dr. 
 R. Nathaniel Dett, born into a Canadian African-American 
 family in 1882, was a prestigious 
 composer, pianist, conductor and educator until 
 his death in 1943 in Battle Creek, MI.  
 His fame was greatest in the eastern U.S. although 
 he also led many choral tours throughout 
 the U.S. and Europe.  The MSU Archives contains 
 a number of signed pieces of his published 
 music and also holds two manuscripts written 
 for a church in Battle Creek.  How did his 
 career develop?  Why was he in Battle Creek? 
  How did these materials reach MSU?  Learn about 
 a ground-breaking musician's work and influence 
 in this presentation by MSU Music Librarian 
 Mary Black Junttonen.\n
