He is the founder and CEO of MAR-VEL, a publishing company specializing in African American musical traditions. His compositions and arrangements have been assembled in the collection,\u00a0<em>Our Musical Heritage.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Lena McLin. <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Once called the \u201cwoman who launched a thousand careers,\u201d she created McLin Opera Company in the 1950s, Among the list of her students are Mandy Patinkin, Kim English, Chaka Khan, Mark Rucker, Nicole Heaston, Tammy McCann and Robert Sims.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Jacqueline Hairston. <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Composer, arranger and vocal coach, she trained at the Juilliard School, Howard University and Columbia University. She has arranged concerts for many opera performers, including Grace Bumbry, Denise Graves and William Warfield.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A week or so ago, UTC professor emeritus and retired music faculty member Roland Carter walked across the stage in New York\u2019s Lincoln Center and was handed a Master of Spirituals Award for his work preserving the religious music of African Americans.<\/p>\n<p>His reaction to the international prize?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat can I say? I really think I\u2019m overrated,\u201dCarter says with a large laugh. \u201cI think people give me far too much credit for what I\u2019ve been able to do or have done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But then he says, in the spirit of giving thanks, just like some of the songs he has lovingly tracked down, arranged and preserved over the decades: \u201cIt\u2019s a great feeling to be recognized for those achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Master of the Spirituals Award is hardly the only prize Carter, who retired from UTC in 2013 after 23 years, has received over his decades-long career. And, though he no longer on the university faculty, he still teaches through near-constant requests for his skills as a conductor, composer, performer and musical authority.<\/p>\n<p>Among his celebrated arrangements are \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing,\u201d \u201cIn Bright Mansions Above\u201d and for the poem \u201cHold Fast to Dreams\u201d by Langston Hughes.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, one of the great thrills of the awards ceremony in New York, he says, was hearing eight of his works performed by a choir of international singers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust to have your works performed by those guys, it was exhilarating to listen to them play the works as their own. When I write a piece, you don\u2019t necessarily have to do it my way. You have to bring my something of yourself to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only ask that you don\u2019t change my notes; don\u2019t change those,\u201d he says with another laugh (he laughs a lot). \u201cLet your spirit come through in terms of your interpretation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These days, a good bit of his time is centered on his nonprofit, the Roland Carter Institute for Studies in American Music, which supports artists performing and preserving African American music. As part of the institute\u2019s work, he\u2019s in the process of cataloguing about 3,000 pieces of choral, spiritual and other musical pieces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got all the stuff in boxes and file cabinets,\u201d he says. \u201cSo that\u2019s what I\u2019m about these days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UTC professor emeritus Roland Carter is a recipient of a Master of the Spiritual Award for his work preserving the religious music of African Americans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2019\/06\/utc-professor-emeritus-roland-carter-earns-international-award\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":27111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,3,7712,8244,12777,64],"tags":[70386,7209],"class_list":{"0":"post-27091","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","8":"category-community","9":"category-faculty-and-staff","10":"category-honors-and-awards","11":"category-music-college-of-arts-sciences","12":"category-news","13":"tag-african-american-music","14":"tag-roland-carter","15":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
