Hello Everyone!
The VA has
featured our Concert of last Wednesday in its Newsreel "VA News" of this
week, May 19, 2008. It airs through the week, and sunsets Sunday (5/25). To
watch the Newsreel, go to
http://www1.va.gov/opa/feature/vanews/index.asp, click on
VA News. The piece starts about five minutes into the program. It was
prepared and hosted by the multitalented Melodee Mercer. Melodee sang in our
September 2007 chorus. The reporting is outstanding and truly world class – we
will post it on our website soon.
Melodee
opens the segment with a question on whether music has the power to help bring
peace. She proceeds with an exquisite sequence of shots, cameos and
interviews. Melodee culminates the report by artfully eliciting the answer to
her rhetorical question, from Bill Kurtis in the closing sequence "World
peace doesn't come from one single act. It comes from the acts of many. Our
concert is one little piece of the puzzle!"
Incidentally, Melodee’s reporting on our September 2007 Concert was awarded a
prestigious National Gold Medal. You can watch that report on our website
www.medicalmusical.org, click on “Videos” on the Sidebar.
Congratulations and many thanks to Melodee, Ken McKinnon and their gifted
crew. We are very grateful!
Back soon
with more on the Denver concert and the overseas trip.
Regards to
all. Victor

Gottfried Benn (May
2, 1886 –
July 7,
1956) was a
German
essayist,
novelist and
expressionist poet.
A doctor of medicine, he became an early admirer, and later a critic, of the
National Socialist revolution. Benn had a literary influence on German verse
immediately before and after the
Nazi
Germany
click on picture for Wikipedia information
Gottfried Benn ca. 1951; Zeichnung von
Tobias Falberg
He was born the son of a
Lutheran pastor in Mansfeld, now part of
Prignitz. He was educated in
Sellin in the
Neumark and
Frankfurt an der Oder before studying
theology at the
University of Marburg and military medicine at the Kaiser Wilhelm
Academy in
Berlin.
Benn started as an expressionist author
before
World War I when he published a small collection of poems (Morgue,
1912) concerned with the physical decay of the flesh.
His poetry offers an introverted
nihilism: an
existentialist philosophy which sees artistic expression as the
only purposeful action. In his early poems Benn used his medical
experience and terminology to portray a morbid conception of humanity
as another species of disease-ridden animal. —John
Collins (Bullock & Woodings, 1984, p.61)
Benn enlisted in 1914, spent a brief
period on the Belgian front, and then served as a military doctor in
Brussels. Benn attended the trial and
execution of Nurse
Edith Cavell. He worked as a physician in an army
brothel.
He then moved to Berlin and practiced as a
dermatology and
venereal disease specialist.
Hostile to the
Weimar Republic, and rejecting
Marxism
and
Americanism, Benn began to sympathize with the
Nazis as a revolutionary force. He hoped that
National
Socialism would exalt his
aesthetics, that Expressionism would become the official art of
Germany, as
Futurism had in
Italy.
Benn was elected to the poetry section of the
Prussian Academy in 1932, and appointed head of that section in
February 1933. In May he defended the new regime in a radio broadcast
saying "the German workers are better off than ever before".
The cultural policy of the new State
didn't turn out the way he hoped and, in June,
Hans Friederich Blunck replaced Benn as head of the Academy's poetry
section. Appalled by the
Night of the Long Knives, Benn abandoned his support for the Nazi
movement. He decided to perform "the aristocratic form of emigration"
and joined the
Wehrmacht in 1935 where he found many officers sympathetic to his
disapproval of the régime. In May 1936 the
SS magazine
Das Schwarze Korps attacked his expressionist and experimental
poetry as
degenerate,
Jewish, and
homosexual. In the summer of 1937,
Wolfgang Willrich, a member of the SS, lampooned Benn in his book
Säuberung des Kunsttempels;
Heinrich Himmler, however, stepped in to reprimand Willrich and
defended Benn on the grounds of his good record since 1933 (his earlier
artistic output being irrelevant). In 1938 the
Reichsschrifttumskammer (the National Socialist authors'
association) banned Benn from further writing.
During
World War II, Benn was posted to
garrisons in eastern Germany where he wrote poems and essays. After
the war, his work was banned by the
Allies
because of his initial support for
Hitler. In
1951 he won the
Georg Büchner Prize.
Benn favorably reviewed
Julius Evola's
Revolt Against the Modern World.
He died in
West Berlin in 1956, and was buried in Dahlem Waldfriedhof, Berlin.
