Since its founding fifty years ago at Yale University, Oral History of American Music (OHAM) has been dedicated to the collection and preservation of the voices of the major musical figures of our time. How best to celebrate fifty years of this inspiring work? The primary focus of OHAM has been composers and creative musicians, and we returned to the same population and encouraged a burst of creativity and a unique way to pay homage to past interviewees. We invited students, faculty, and friends to create pieces using OHAM recordings as source material. The reVox works reflect a wide range of musical figures, from Charles Ives to Laurie Anderson; white, black, and Hispanic; male and female; classical, jazz, and experimental music. The natural choices of these creative artists echoed the diversity that is OHAM, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Special thanks to Jack Vees and Alexis Lamb, curators, and to Dana Karwas and Christopher Mir of Yale's Center for Collaborative Arts and Media, where these works were first presented. --Libby Van Cleve Director, OHAM January, 2020 For an interview with Libby with more insights on this collection, please visit the link below.
