Obituary: LYNNE WAINWRIGHT PALMER by Evelyn Palmer Originally published in the American Harp Journal, Winter, 1983 Alberto Salvi went over to the cradle and lifted her out. He kissed her forehead and exclaimed, "My, what a lovely baby!" It was the spring of 1919 in Fostoria, Ohio, and the baby was Betty Evelyn (Lynne) Wainwright. Her parents, Jack and Jeannette Wainwright, had recently moved to Fostoria from Cleveland, where Betty was born. Jeannette was a violinist, violist and pianist. Jack was a trombonist and cellist, but could play most of the band instruments passably well. He was a musical pioneer in Ohio, where he established that states first public school music program. As the resident "Music Man," he often entertained touring musicians such as Mr. Salvi who visited Fostoria. This was a part of the atmosphere, rich with music and musicians, in which Betty was raised. When she was three years old, her mother started her on the piano; when she was six, on the violin. She was soon enrolled as a student a the Wainwright Conservatory, where weekly lessons on both instruments became a matter of course. There were also ballet lessons. These gave rise to delightful moments at home when Jeannette would play and Betty would "make up" a dance. To such music as Chopins "Butterfly" Etude and Chaminades Scarf Dance as well as improvisations by her mother, Betty danced with abandon. Her active imagination was given free rein, not only in dance but also at the piano. Little tunes that Betty concocted were applauded, and she would improvise unselfconsciously for any audience. One of her favorite games was taking from the shelf one of the "Green Books" (Modern Music and Musicians), closing her eyes tightly, opening the book at random, then attempting to play whatever was on the page. Though the music was often beyond her depth, the challenge of trying it was ever-exciting. It may have been hard on her parents ears, but they rarely complained. Only occasionally did her mother call out to her, "Will you please play that rhythm correctly?" nights were always special, for those were movie nights. Jeannette played violin in the pit at a local theater, where she and a pianist complemented the silent pictures with their music. Here again, Bettys musical imagination was nourished as she unwittingly absorbed all kinds of background music. It did not seem unusual to her that she could later play much of it by ear. In the Wainwright household, opportunities for musical learning were provided even while Betty helped with the dishes. Jeannette devised theory games to play during this task. A typical question was, "Name the notes of the submediant triad in the key of E-flat." the dishes were finished in the evening, Jack, Jeannette and Betty often sat down to play trios. In addition to fulfilling his goals of establishing a public school music curriculum and a conservatory, Jack Wainwright pursued another dream which was to play a very large role in Bettys life. In 1926, he founded the first summer music camp in the United States, lending credence to his favorite phrase, "There ain no such word as can ." When Betty was 10, she was allowed to attend the camp. Here she had an opportunity to try many additional instruments--flute, clarinet, and cello among them. She echoed her fathers musical fluency, achieving a degree of success with whatever she tried. Her choice of instrument for any group rehearsal was directly related to what the conductor (often her father) needed to fill out the required instrumentation. Jack invited Clarence Byrn, from Cass Technical High School in Detroit, to become musical director of his camp in 1930. To make necessary plans, Mr. Byrn visited the camp in the summer of 1929. Mr. Byrn, a near fanatic about the harp, had a habit of converting promising pianists to harpists. Accordingly, when he heard Betty play the piano, he approached Jack about having Betty study the harp. Betty overheard Jacks reply: "Hell, no! She does enough things badly already!" Mr. Byrn persisted and prevailed. At Christmas time, when she was twelve, Betty was sent to Detroit to Cass Tech and the tutelage of Velma Froude. Two weeks later, she returned home (which was now LaGrange, Indiana, the site of the camp) able to play three little pieces and a few deliberate arpeggios. Mr. Byrn had seen to it that she was provided with a harp, and Betty became a small-town celebrity overnight. Three girls in LaGrange wanted to learn to play the harp as soon as they heard Betty. Harp rentals were no problem then, so while she was still in the beginning stages herself, Betty began to teach. "I managed to stay one jump ahead of the others, and did the best I knew how," she says, "but I do marvel now at my temerity!" Betty became fearless in her approach to the instrument. "As far as the harp was concerned, I did not know good from bad or right from wrong--I just played!" Her fathers confidence in her promoted this fearlessness. He would hand her the piano score of an orchestra or band piece with the command to "make up a harp part." Since she was conversant with musics fundamentals at that point, Betty was able to complete this assignment. The summer of her twelfth year was a pivotal point in Bettys musical life. With Velma at the camp, Betty had two or three harp lessons a week, played harp in the band, the orchestra, the harp-and-vocal ensemble, and practiced hour upon hour. By this time she had decided that if she applied her musical talent to this unusual instrument, it would take her much farther than the same amount of talent applied to the violin or piano. Still self-taught during the winters, Betty always looked forward to summer lessons at camp. When she was fourteen, continued... |
