Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

"SETTLING SCORES: A Life in the Margins of American Music" details
one life lived in the margins of America's musical consciousness.
From a working-class background in gritty North Philadelphia to the
sanctity of European concert stages, from imagined dangers lurking
along the waterfronts in mysterious Asian cities to the real
dangers lurking in the narrow minds of those who uphold the status
quo in American music, this book reveals the life of one who
embraced change, and, in the process, gained political leverage and
intellectual freedom. It is the story of Joseph Franklin and a
legion of collaborators, and it is a snapshot view of a slice of
America's musical landscape in the final quarter of the 20th
century, including a history of Relache and The Relache Ensemble.
Born in Philadelphia, Joseph Franklin is a graduate of the
Philadelphia Musical Academy and Temple University's Graduate
School of Music. He has composed works for mixed instrumental/vocal
ensembles, film, video, theater and dance. In 1977 he co-founded
The Relache Ensemble, which evolved into Relache, Inc. a presenting
and producing organization in support of the Relache Ensemble. He
served as founding executive and artistic director of Relache until
1998. Independently, and as Director of Relache, he has been a
producer of concerts, festivals, recordings, radio programs,
residency programs, international tours and other related music
events, including the NEW MUSIC AMERICA 1987 Festival, NEW MUSIC AT
ANNENBERG at The University of Pennsylvania and MUSIC IN MOTION, a
nationwide audience development project. He formerly served as
Artistic Director for Helena Presents--The Myrna Loy Center, a
performing arts and film center located in Helena, Montana. He has
published criticism and book reviews in the Philadelphia Inquirer
and Philadelphia City Paper. While living in Louisiana he developed
and taught courses in arts administration and an overview of 20th
century music at the University of New Orleans while serving as an
independent consultant to arts organizations. He currently serves
as executive director for Chamber Music Albuquerque, a presenting
organization dedicated to presenting world-class chamber music
ensembles in concert.
