Abstract:

Libby Larsen's Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra was commissioned by Daniel Culver and the Quad City Youth Orchestra, in celebration of its 30th anniversary. It was written in 1987 and premiered on May 8, 1988. Daniel Culver conducted the Quad City Youth Orchestra and David Greenhoe was the trumpet soloist. Despite Libby Larsen's ongoing success as a composer, the premiere performance is the only time the concerto has been performed and it has since remained virtually-unknown to the public. This project serves as a way in which to reintroduce Libby Larsen's Trumpet Concerto to the trumpet, orchestral and academic communities by way of providing an historical account of the commission project; showing insight into the composer's inspiration for the work; and providing a reduction of the orchestral score for trumpet and piano.

Abstract:

Arvo Pärt's Concerto Piccolo über B-A-C-H for trumpet, strings, harpsichord, and piano is a brief yet challenging work in the trumpet repertoire. A carefully articulated performance guide is necessary to aid trumpeters in overcoming the numerous musical challenges presented in this piece. Currently, there is no resource that helps in solving performance choices and difficulties in this work. This first section of this document provides historical and contextual information on Arvo Pärt, his compositional output during his experimental period, and subsequently, Concerto Piccolo. The second section includes a performance analysis of the work, while the third gives trumpet players pedagogical suggestions and practical exercises for proper preparation of Concerto Piccolo. This guide presents performers with relevant background, analytical, and pedagogical information required for an informed and high-level performance.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation presents a performance guide of two solos for early valved trumpet, as well as an appraisal of their historical significance. The first of these solos is F. G. A. Dauverné's Variations pour trompette à pistons avec accompagnement de Piano-forte, op. 3 (1833). The second solo examined is Amilcare Ponchielli's Concerto per Tromba e Banda, op. 123 (1866). Although Ponchielli's work dates from only the middle of the century, by time of its composition the valved trumpet had already been developed enough to have attained true artistic value. This dissertation provides evidence concerning the evolution of nineteenth solo literature for the Romantic trumpet by means of formal analysis in regard to form, harmony, and historical performance practice.

Abstract:

This thirteen-minute concerto explores the concept of the "third-stream" style, a genre prevalent from the early twentieth century onward that explores the fusion of classical and the popular idioms. The piano writing, especially in the cadenza, is greatly influenced by George Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F, one of the most representative works in this style due to its jazzy syncopated rhythms and romantic pianistic writing. In addition to the traditional orchestral instrumentation, this piece includes several drum set solos, recalling some of the percussive passages from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, a musical theater work evoking jazz and Latin styles. This piece also draws influence from the contemporary group Bad Plus Trio, embracing the avant-garde jazz style apparent in 1972 Bronze Medalist from the album "These Are the Vistas."

Abstract:

Among the existing solo instrumental concertos of Joseph Haydn's oeuvre are two concertos for brass instruments. These are the Horn Concerto in D Major (Hob. VIId: 3) and Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major (Hob. VIIe: 1). In addition to their standing as the only two concertos for solo brass instruments written by Haydn in existence, the two concertos provide a unique opportunity for insight into the history of the concerto genre and Haydn's change in compositional style. This is because of their chronological position within Haydn's oeuvre; the Horn Concerto was composed in 1762 during the early years of Haydn's employment with the Esterházy family and the Trumpet Concerto in 1796 as the last known concerto written by Haydn. Significant changes had occurred during that thirty four year time-span, not only in Haydn's life, but also within the field of music. This dissertation examines some of these changes and provides a comparative analysis of these two pieces. More specifically, it employs Schenkerian analysis of the voice-leading and structure of both concertos to examine the transformation in Haydn's compositional style and show the evolution of concerto form. This evolution in style between the Horn Concerto and Trumpet Concerto is most prominently marked by a loosening of compositional constraints, including freer formal procedures, instrumentation, harmonic structures, and an increase in chromaticism (aided by the new chromatic abilities of the trumpet). This document provides an in-depth comparative analysis within an often overlooked genre of music and gives insight into changes in Haydn's compositional style and the concerto genre.

Piano Concerto No. 1 is a twenty-minute work scored for large orchestra and solo piano. Its two movements explore various orchestral colors and textures, and utilize the harmonic languages of tonality, polytonality, atonality, and centricity. The fanciful first movement, with its delicate phrases and rhapsodic episodes, pays homage to the sensibilities and aesthetics of the romantic period, while the second movement, robust and exclamatory in nature, unashamedly flaunts its virtuosity with rhythmic complexity and vigorous primitivism.

Abstract:

A Concerto for Piano and Orchestra is a work of absolute music, which draws on the traditional three-movement concerto form of the classical and romantic tradition and includes a solo piano cadenza toward the end of the last movement. Harmonically, I make free use of the major, minor and augmented triads, and draw from diatonic, hexatonic, octatonic and other altered modes. My orchestration is influenced by Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky, and my piano writing is influenced by J.S. Bach, Chopin, Liszt, Grieg, Prokofiev, Bartok as well as stylistic elements characteristic of Chick Corea especially as found in his Concerto No. 1.

The first movement is monothematic. The theme's first appearance utilizes the full orchestra and is then taken up by the soloist. The orchestra then spins out a "satirical" variation of the original theme. This section builds to a climax and is followed by a "chaotic" reaction from the orchestra, after which follows a tranquil section in the Dorian mode, where the theme is transformed into a slow, lyrical character. This modal variation yields to a more bitonal harmonic language, ushering in the development section. A recapitulation and coda close the first movement.

The second movement opens with solo piano performing an ornamented scale melody. The rhythmic motives and shapes of this melody are then taken up into selected colors of the orchestra and varied. The piano returns with the original material leading to a more substantial appearance of the orchestra, after which there is a "quasi-cadenza" section for the piano. The calm end of this movement features the piano, low strings, low brass, and a bassoon solo.

The third movement is a rondo, AA₁ABACA with an extensive cadenza for the piano between the C and A sections followed by a coda. It opens with percussive rhythmic figures in the piano, which are then passed to the strings in pizzicato. Over the string pizzicato, a transformation of the first movement's theme appears in polyphony across the orchestra while the piano and xylophone provide sparse commentary. The B section features the percussion instruments followed by the jazz-influenced piano passages. In the C section, the piano, strings and high woodwinds, reveal nostalgic hints of Grieg and Rachmaninoff. An orchestral tutti builds to a climax just before the cadenza, after which a short A section and coda complete the work.

Abstract:

Music Composition
D.M.A.
This dissertation comprises two parts: an original composition, Concerto for Piano and Orchestra; and an essay that analyzes the form of Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in D-flat Major, op. 10. Concerto for Piano and Orchestra is cast in three movements and scored in two versions: In “Version A,” members of the orchestra are at times called on to use their voices to sustain the phonemes [m], [ŋ], and [v] on pitch and to create an intense whisper on the vowel [æ]. “Version B” is an alternative realization that uses instruments only. The first movement, unable to produce a recapitulation and continually interrupted at decreasing intervals of time by increasingly intense outbursts from percussion, brass, and wind instruments, is an extreme deformation of a sonata-concerto form. It proceeds attacca to the second movement, which is built in a large ternary form. The third movement is a concerto adaptation of James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy’s “expanded Type 1” sonata form. The concerto’s total duration is approximately 30 minutes. The essay considers the form of Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1 from the perspective of Hepokoski and Darcy’s Sonata Theory, as laid out in their seminal 2006 treatise. It finds that Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is a highly individualized instance of Hepokoski and Darcy’s “Type 3” sonata form with introduction-coda frame. The essay’s analysis is preceded by a glimpse at Prokofiev’s experiences with sonata form during his youth, as well as brief reviews of the conceptual backdrop of concerto form as Prokofiev would have received it and of the basics of Sonata Theory.

Abstract:

This concerto is the composer’s conversation with the past. In four movements, each one embodies a traditional musical form. The work is a continually transforming kaleidoscope of relentless virtuosity, fanciful flights of harmony and melody, and unapologetic shifts in timbre and texture. Although conceived in four separate movements, the entire work is without intervening pauses. The concerto grosso is scored for flute, violin, piano, and string orchestra, and is approximately twenty-five minutes in duration.

Full text

Abstract:

Research has been conducted on prominent mid-twentieth century French trumpet concertos and their composers. Jolivet, Bozza, and Tomasi have all been the subject of research. Charles Chaynes' music is equally valuable to modern trumpet repertoire as that of Jolivet, Bozza, and Tomasi. Chaynes' exclusion from research leaves a void in resources available to future trumpet students. A study of Charles Chaynes and his trumpet concertos is essential to preserving the history of the valve trumpet's young modern repertoire. Lack of understanding of Chaynes' trumpet concertos can only lead to misconceptions when interpreting these pieces. The thirty-nine year gap between Chaynes' Trumpet Concerto No. 1 and Trumpet Concerto No. 2 is a remarkable time span between major compositions, and examining the works gives insight to the evolution of the trumpet concerto throughout the twentieth century. This project highlights Charles Chaynes' contribution to the trumpet repertoire from both the beginning and end of his compositional career, and fills the research gap concerning his concertos. It includes correspondence with Charles Chaynes and others, in order to gain information not found in common source materials. It highlights examples from each concerto that are representative of the composer's compositional style.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis contains two volumes. The first is a written text that describes my compositional techniques in the context of an analysis of my Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. The second volume is the score of this work.
Volume one is divided into two parts. Part I describes my compositional techniques and the original contributions of the thesis. These include the incorporation of psychoacoustic models of hearing into the creative process, as implemented by a computer program written by the author. I give detailed descriptions of models for dissonance and pitch commonality, and discuss my use of contour theory. Part II of the first volume illustrates these techniques through an analysis of the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. The main topics of this analysis are the creation of background harmonic regions based on high pitch commonality to a referential sonority, and the integration of a basic shape or contour into all parameters and structural levels of the music.
Volume two is the full score of the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. This work has a duration of 23 minutes. It is scored for solo piano and a small orchestra consisting of flute (doubling on piccolo), oboe, B-flat clarinet, bassoon, horn in F, trumpet in C, trombone, two percussion and strings (44332). The Concerto is divided into four movements, played without pause, and two brief opening and closing sections.

Full text

Abstract:

Anthony Plog (b. 1947) has contributed several notable works for brass instruments. He is known for writing extremely technically challenging works that contain angular melodies, fast rhythms and a large degree of chromaticism. Though his music is difficult, it also conveys intense emotions. His music for trumpet, specifically Concerto no. 1 for Trumpet, Brass Ensemble and Percussion and Concerto no. 2 for Trumpet and Orchestra, represents a zenith in his compositional development. This dissertation examines Concerto no. 1 and Concerto no. 2 from a performer’s perspective to better understand the stylistic characteristics and challenges encountered in his music. Each concerto is examined in terms of rhythmic structure, intervallic structure, thematic material, motivic material and form.

Abstract:

Samuel Barber's Capricorn Concerto for flute, oboe and trumpet with strings is an important though seldom performed work. The concerto is teeming with performance choices that are indicative of both historical and contemporary influences. At present, there are limited resources available to performers regarding Capricorn. The first section of this study presents an historical and contextual examination of Capricorn both in terms of Barber's own compositional output and that of his influences and contemporaries. The second section includes a performance analysis of the work, while the third section includes an analysis of existing recordings. Implications for the performer are outlined in last section. The guide provides performers with pertinent background, analytical and performance information in order to facilitate informed, high-level performance.

Full text

Abstract:

Ellen Taaffe Zwilich is an important figure in the compositional world, having written a diverse body of works for which she has received many accolades, including the coveted Pulitzer Prize. The second chapter examines this American composer, the commission of the American Concerto, and events leading to the piano reduction of the concerto. The America Concerto is a modern work that incorporates synthetic scales, unusual notation, and the organization of melodic material through motives. The third chapter includes an analysis that identifies the form and tonal centers as well as the primary motives used in the concerto. The fourth chapter includes pedagogy considerations for performance. Issues relating to tessitura, articulation, flexibility, endurance factors, fingerings, and technical features of the piano reduction accompaniment are evaluated. Detailed suggestions are provided to aid in preparing the piece for performance, including a study of stylistic concerns. The American Concerto is quite diverse stylistically as Zwilich explores the symphonic and jazz genres. The dual nature of the trumpet is examined as the piece combines classical and jazz styles in a virtuosic setting.

Wyner's electic writing style shows strong ties to neoclassicism and covers a wide range of genres such as chamber music, solo pieces for voice and instruments, and theatrical music for Jewish liturgy. Among his most important works are the Partita (1952) for piano, Friday Evening Service (1963) for cantor and chorus, On This Most Voluptuous Night (1982) for soprano and chamber ensemble. Wyner's Pulitzer-winning Chiavi in Mana is a one-movement piano concerto, composed in 2004 and published by G. Schirmer. The idea of this concerto was instigated by Robert Levin and premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Most of the concerto was composed during the summer of 2004 at the American Academy in Rome. Wyner described this concerto as a "particularly 'American' piece, shot through with vernacular elements". Not only does the concerto contain an outright boogie-woogie section, it also calls for a small orchestra featuring washboard and tom-toms. This dissertation attempts to provide a thorough understanding of the concerto through examination of musical elements. The first chapter discusses Wyner's educational background as well as his accomplishments in various areas of a stellar musical career. Chapter two discusses the formal structure of the concerto, while chapter three provides analysis of the harmonic approach and chapter four on the harmonic and rhythmic motives. Lastly, chapter five explores the performance issues associated with the soloist of the concerto.

Abstract:

Clara Wieck Schumann’s 1836 Piano Concerto Op. 7 represents an era of radical formal experimentation in the early nineteenth century. As such, critics including Robert Schumann questioned its unity, thus prompting late twentieth-century scholars to reassess both its departures from tradition and its cohesive mechanisms. I propose that the concerto’s formal innovations are a result of Wieck’s decision to construct a tripartite work from her autonomous Concertsatz, which became the Finale after the addition of a first and second movement. This study uses William Caplin’s theory of formal functions and Steven Vande Moortele’s theory of two-dimensional sonata form to examine how Wieck complemented the independent Finale with a formally divergent first movement, which facilitates the projection of an overarching sonata form spanning the entire work. In doing so, this study produces a model to assess the concerto’s internal logic.

Abstract:

Music Performance
D.M.A.
In recent years, Brahms’s music has begun to occupy a larger role in the consciousness of musicologists, and with this surge of interest came a refreshingly original approach to his music. Although the First Piano Concerto op. 15 of Johannes Brahms is a beloved part of the standard piano repertoire, there is a curious under-representation of the work through the lens of historical performance practice. This monograph addresses the various aspects that comprise a thorough performance practice analysis of the concerto. These include pedaling, articulation, phrasing, and questions of tempo, an element that takes on greater importance beyond just complicating matters technically. These elements are then put into the context of Brahms’s own pianism, conducting, teaching, and musicological endeavors based on first and second-hand accounts of the composer’s work. It is the combining of these concepts that serves to illuminate the concerto in a far more detailed fashion, and ultimately enabling us to re-evaluate whether the time honored modern interpretations of the work fall within the boundaries that Brahms himself would have considered effective and accurate.

Abstract:

Embasado no processo artístico, este estudo reflete e descreve a preparação dos arranjos e de um recital de músicas de videogames como repertório de concerto. Os referenciais teóricos são discussões a respeito da música nos videogames, tecnologias de áudio referentes, discussões sobre pesquisa artística, textos sobre performance e sobre o concerto como evento. Os documentos desenvolvidos pelo autor durante o processo são partituras de arranjos autorais, cartazes e logomarcas que desenhei. Hoje em dia, as músicas de videogames não mais estão restritas aos jogos, constituem um repertorio que vem sendo interpretado por orquestras e solistas em diversos lugares do mundo. De um ruído que pretendia ilustrar o som da batida de uma bolinha no jogo Pong (1972) aos materiais sinfônicos presentes nos jogos de hoje, podemos perceber uma história de evoluções tecnológicas, demandas de mercado, práticas interpretativas e a possibilidade de uma nova janela a ser aberta no campo de estudos da música. Neste trabalho, apresento o relato sobre as diferentes etapas para a preparação de um concerto com músicas de videogame, envolvendo a escolha do repertório, preparação dos arranjos, realização dos cartazes para divulgação e as decisões interpretativas.
Based on the artistic process, this research reflects and describes the preparation of arrangements and a recital of music from videogames as a concert repertoire. The theoretical references are discussions about music in videogames, related audio technologies, discussions about artistic research, texts about performance and about the concert as an event. The documents developed by the author during the process are scores of arrangements, posters and logos that I drew. Nowadays, video game music is no longer restricted to games, it is a repertoire that has been played by orchestras and soloists in different parts of the world. From a noise that was intended to illustrate the sound of the beating ball in the Pong (1972) game to the symphonic materials present in the games of today, we can perceive a history of technological evolutions, market demands, interpretive practices and the possibility of a new window to be open in the field of music studies. In this work, I present the report on the different stages for the preparation of a concert with video game music, involving the choice of repertoire, preparation of the arrangements, realization of posters for dissemination and interpretative decisions.

Abstract:

This lecture recital seeks to prove that Sergei Taneyev's only piano concerto is a valuable addition to the piano concerto repertoire for historical and theoretical examination. Taneyev's biographical background proves he was one of the major figures in Russian musical life during the late nineteenth century. For one who had such an important role in music history, it is an unfortunate that his music has not been popular. Through letters to contemporary composers and friends, Taneyev's master teacher Tchaikovsky revealed why his music and piano concerto were not as popular as they should have been. This lecture recital examines Taneyev's compositional style and illustrates his influence in the works of his famous student Sergei Rachmaninoff through examples from Taneyev's Piano Concerto in E-flat Major and Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. Taneyev's Piano Concerto and Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 have both similarities and differences that resulted from the composers' close relationship. Letters between the teacher and student enlighten readers to the compositional process of the two piano concertos and demonstrates the value of Taneyev's Piano Concerto. A detailed theoretical analysis is included in this dissertation. The principal themes and motifs are presented with a detailed analysis of the structure of the concerto's first movement as the themes, motifs, and variations are woven into a unified piece of music. The second movement of the concerto is remarkable for its harmonic progressions. This research substantiates that Taneyev's Piano Concerto is valuable to the current piano repertoire and worthy of performances throughout the world. The concerto occupies an important role in music history and theory and is useful for piano students to study.

Abstract:

Music Performance
D.M.A.
This monograph on Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto fills the regrettable gap in scholarly research. By using recently published materials from the Russian archives, it clarifies the contradictory records and opinions on the concerto's genesis and history as well as identifies Prokofiev's sources of inspiration in the categories of form, style, and expressiveness. The second part of the monograph contains an analysis of the dramatic and narrative content of the Second Piano Concerto, inspired by musical hermeneutics, semiotics, and narrative theory. The analysis uncovers the means used by Prokofiev in creation of the unusually dramatic tone, and intertextual sublayers contributing to the puzzling and often ambiguous nature of the piece. Furthermore, the analysis of the contextual and intertextual meaning reveals how performance tradition has influenced the reading of the piece's ambiguities, and how occasionally it contradicts the score's semiotic content and the composer's indications. Most importantly, it shows how Prokofiev's tendency toward irony and mockery is reflected in musical form.
