ISSUE 10: “Praying Piano”
This issue explores the role of prayer, energy work, mediumship, and social service in the lives of three American piano masters. We’ll be looking at three female pianists who were devout Christian mystics, two rooted in the Catholic faith. “Flicker Flicker Flame” looks at the AMP’s recent aquisition of a handsewn 1930 prayer sampler by jazz icon Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981). Through this piece of fabric we’ll look at the personal story of tragedy and fortitude surrounding it. Connections are also made to the depiction of magic in children’s literature and one of the witchiest songs in Girl Scout history. “From the Dragon’s Mouth” offers a metaphysically lensed biography on biracial child prodigy pianist Philippa Duke Schuyler (1931-1967), including rare materials from the AMP archive. The issue closes with a commonplace of quotations from the students of legendary Boston piano teacher, Madame Margaret Chaloff (1896-1977). Many of her students, among them numerous jazz artists, regarded her as a spiritual guru. The testimonies offered here focus on the spiritual nature of her teachings.
