Abstract:
<p> The search for interesting and rewarding repertoire is a lifelong process for the modern violist. Because of the viola's belated acceptance as a solo instrument, only the occasional solo viola piece appears in the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, giving violists special incentive to embrace new sources of repertoire, including transcriptions of works for other instruments, new works by living composers, and rediscovered works by lesser-known composers. This dissertation explores another means by which violists have contributed to the concert repertoire: composing their own music.

Lawrence, Mark. "Veljo Tormis, Estonian composer." Thesis, City University London, 2013. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/2734/.

Abstract:
The music of Veljo Tormis (b. 1930) became well-established in Estonia during the 1960s yet remained little known in the West during the Communist period. By incorporating traditional song, regilaul,into his works, Tormis’s name became closely associated for Estonians with upholding a sense of national identity against the Soviet regime. It is his vast output of some 500 choral songs for which he is most immediately recognised; indeed, once regilaul had come to dominate the ‘Tormis style’, he dedicated himself almost exclusively to choral composition. This study, building on the work of Mimi D

Abstract:
For as long as computers have been around, people have looked for ways to involve them in music. Research in computer music progresses in many varied areas: algorithmic composition, music representation, music synthesis, and performance analysis to name a few. However, computer music research, especially relating to music composition, does very little toward making the computer useful for artists in practical situations. This lack of consideration for the user has led to the containment of computer music, with a few exceptions, to academia. <br /><br /> In this thesis, I propose a

Abstract:
By conducting an experiment involving interviews with successful video game music composers about the emotions they wish to convey to the players with their music, and a survey questioning consumers about what emotions they actually experienced while listening to these musical pieces, this bachelor's thesis tries to provide a deeper understanding for music in games and the impact it has on the player and whether or not the three composers that has been interviewed has succeeded with conveying the emotions they wished to convey to their consumers. The results showed that each composer that has

Abstract:
The main focus of this submission is the composition portfolio which consists of four pieces, each composed several times over for different combinations of instruments. The purpose of this PhD composition portfolio is threefold. Firstly, it is to contribute to the expansion of the classical guitar repertoire. Secondly, it is to defy the limits imposed by the technical facilities of the physical instrument and bring novelty to its playability. Third and most importantly, it is to overcome the challenges of being a guitarist-composer. Due to a high degree of familiarity with the traditional gui

Abstract:
This thesis consists of a portfolio of compositions with the addition of 5 CD's, commentaries on selected compositions and additional written material placing submitted work in context. It is that context which supplies the title of the thesis. It is my contention that a composers' work is affected by the culture surrounding them, and that that culture contains a number of musical and social factors which impinge upon a composers' interaction with the world. In my case, I seek to show how a combination of my formative experiences and somewhat unusual musical background have influenced my work
