#Edmond Dédé

[raeyeon]

EDMOND DÉDÉ , the first known Black man to compose a full opera, finally receives recognition. For 138 years, "Morgiane" had been sitting in the shadows, forgotten.

"Morgiane", composed in 1887, is set to debut on FEBRUARY 3, 2025, at LINCOLN THEATER.

The kazoo - a useless insight.

For very important scientific reasons, this morning I woke up and found out that playing the kazoo isn’t actually as easy as it seems.

My first thought about it was “Aw, how talented” referring to you-know-who, but let’s delve into some details. I have collected my favorite curiosities down here for you:

You don’t just blow into the kazoo, neither you “hmmm” into it. You have to actually sing into it to make it work. Sounds like an effort to me.

The end you have to sing in is the flat one, not the pointy one.

Now, my favorite part. These are some of the syllables identified on Wikipedia to change notes on the kazoo: doo, too, who, rrrrr or brrr. “rrrrr or brrr”, understand?

Before Papa - but not as good as him - the kazoo was used by Frank Zappa, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and also Rammstein. Apparently, no pop singer had the same steel balls to use the kazoo in their songs. This makes it a very badass instrument, if you ask me.

In 2011, “At the Royal Albert Hall, 3.910 kazooists played Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries”. Just epic.

The kazoo is strictly related to the PARTY HORN - which is not an instrument - and the Eunuch flute (Mirlitone). And about the Eunuch flute, “the Creole composer, Edmond Dédé wrote Méphisto Masqué for grand orchestra and a fanfare of Mirlitone Instruments”. The devil is always around the corner here.

Papa played a kazoo with a square filter, instead of the more common round one. I hoped to find something interesting about it but honestly no, it is just that. The bravest of you will find a connection with Square Hammer, I just know it.

As a bonus, I’d like to remind you that Papa had a professional, tiny kazoo stand for his precious instrument.

Edmond Dédé’s Opera ‘Morgiane’ to Be Staged for the First Time

In fall 2000, Cox and Danielson traveled to Peyrotte’s house outside Paris, where they chatted over wine and cheese. Then Danielson spent a few hours there reviewing Peyrotte’s scores and quickly made a determination. “The collection,” she said, “was absolutely worth having.” Harvard made an offer, funded by John Milton Ward IV, a longtime music professor, and his wife, Ruth Neils Ward, and the…
