Beekman Cox Cannon

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Beekman Cox Cannon, professor emeritus of history of music at Yale and a past master of Yale’s Jonathan Edwards College, died at his home in New Haven, Conn., on Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2004, after a short illness. He was 92.

Mr. Cannon’s life revolved around music, education and the boards of musical organizations. As a young man, he might have had a serious career as a concert pianist.

As a professor, he taught such well-known courses as the introductory course in music, the history of opera and (his most famous) music in the 20th century. His students remember him as instilling in them an enormous enthusiasm for his subject.

As far back as the 1930s, when he was a graduate student, he was involved in Yale’s first interdepartmental major, history, art and letters, which was an attempt to deal with a period (such as the Enlightenment to the present) and to relate its politics, science, art, literature and music.

As master of Jonathan Edwards, one of Yale’s 12 residential colleges, from 1961 to 1974, he encouraged the arts. In particular, he developed its musical life, sponsoring undergraduate concerts and operas — Gilbert and Sullivan, Puccini’s "La Boheme" and much else. These performances cost money, which Mr. Cannon was always able to find; indeed, considerable funds came to the college during his tenure.

He was forever redesigning the college’s garden.

As master, he established the precedent that the colleges at Yale could have endowment funds of their own. This was at variance with the university’s wish that such funds come to the university or that they be split up among all the colleges. Matters came to a head when a college alumnus and a friend of Mr. Cannon’s, Robert C. Bates, one of the original fellows of the college, wanted to set up a fund at the college for some of its undergraduates to spend summers in Europe and to take trips to the opera and ballet in New York; Mr. Cannon’s statesmanlike manner of handling the situation won the Bates Trust for the college, and now it is normal for Yale’s colleges to have their own funds. Together with the J.E. Trust, which Mr. Cannon also caused to prosper, J.E. is now the most affluent of the colleges, and it administers the Bates Trust to include undergraduates in all the colleges.

He served on many committees of the Yale Music Department, including its Music Executive Committee. He was a major force behind the founding and growth of the Library of the Yale Music School, and was also a major contributor to it.

His activities in music transcended the university. He was a past president and longtime board member of the New Haven Symphony and a member of the Executive Committee on the Arts Council of Greater New Haven.

He was also a founder in 1975 of the Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown, which is near Cherry Valley, where Mr. Cannon had a summer home and where his family had lived for 225 years. Glimmerglass has grown into one of the most outstanding summer opera companies in the country. In its early days, he was one of the few board members who knew about music and hence played a major role in guiding the company’s musical excellence. He pushed Glimmerglass into doing operas then not normally performed, such as Baroque opera, particularly Monteverdi, or the works of Benjamin Britten.

In the early 1980s, he was a mentor to Paul Kellogg, then starting out as director of Glimmerglass and now the managing director of the New York City Opera. "Beekman Cannon’s influence on Glimmerglass Opera was immeasurable," Mr. Kellogg said recently. "He held us all to a high standard and, with his wife, Margaret, brought total dedication to the cause." In addition to knowledge and enthusiasm, he provided funding, including a dressing-room building for the artists when the construction budget would not allow it.

Mr. Cannon was among the last of an older generation of Yale professors who had spent most of their academic lives at the university, and hence had a long perspective and deep devotion to the place. Today, such a curriculum vitae is unheard-of. He received his bachelor of arts from Yale College in 1934, attended the School of Music in 1934-1935, and received his doctorate from Yale in 1939.

He joined the Yale faculty as an instructor first in history and then in music from 1939-1941. He joined the Navy in 1943 as an officer, serving part of the time in London and reaching the rank of commander. He returned after the war with a British wife, Margaret Elizabeth Hall, rejoining the Yale faculty as assistant professor of the history of music in 1946. He has been at Yale until his retirement when, rising through its academic ranks.

His publications included Johann Mattheson, "Spectator of Music," the first volume in the Yale Studies of the History of Music, published by the Yale University Press in 1946; it was, in fact, his Ph.D. thesis. He had done most of his research in 1938 in libraries in Hamburg and Berlin, badly damaged in the war. Another book, "The Art of Music," with Alvin Johnson and William Waite, was published in 1960.

But he was better-known as a teacher and a force in the world of music. He struck those around him as larger than life. And in fact he was. Six feet, six inches tall, with a forceful but breezy manner that matched his height, he was well-known as he strode around the campus. Both he and his wife, Margaret, had loud booming, voices — hers with an unstoppable English lilt, his with a more booming roll — and both had much to say, some of it critical of happenings around them, but all of it good-natured.

Both were apt to speak their minds, not always caring about the consequences. In 1938, when Mr. Cannon was in Germany doing research for his thesis, he attended a performance of Wagner’s "Die Meistersinger" at Bayreuth. The performance was also attended by Adolph Hitler, who sat in the royal box. The house was filled with brawny young men in uniform. The opera ends when the Meistersinger wins a singing competition and is crowned with a laurel wreath. On this occasion, before the curtain calls were over, a hanging catwalk was lowered to the stage; the Meistersinger walked up it to the royal box and placed the crown on the Furher’s head. Amid the applause, there was one loud boo. Mr. Cannon’s life could have ended right there.

The Cannons were a center of life at Yale for undergraduates and faculty, particularly in the years he was master of Jonathan Edwards. He was active in some of the more intellectual undergraduate organizations, in particular the Manuscript Society and the Elizabethan Club.

People who knew him as master recall him affectionately as sometimes pompous, always invigorating and occasionally irreverent. Arriving at a lunch given by a younger fellow of the college, he mentioned that he had had a complaint from the campus police about a loud party in the fellow’s suite the night before. There had been mention of flower pots hurled out the window. That said, he picked up the last remaining flower pot in the room and tossed it after the others.

In 2003, Yale music students celebrated his 90th year with a performance of "Dido and Aeneas."

His wife, Margaret, died in 1993. He is survived by two nieces, Mrs. Julia C. Wertenbaker and Mrs. Urling C. Kingery; a nephew, Mr. Henry Brevoort Cannon III; and by six great-nephews and -nieces.

A funeral service will be held at Christ Church at 84 Broadway in New Haven on Monday, Oct. 25, at 3:30 p.m., with a reception to follow at the Great Hall in Jonathan Edwards College. There will be a memorial service at Grace Church, 32 Montgomery St., in Cherry Valley, on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to the Jonathan Edwards Trust, care of The Master’s Office, PO Box 8220, New Haven, CT 06520-8220, or to the Glimmerglass Opera, PO Box 191, Cooperstown, NY 13326.
