Abstract:

Sir Harrison Birtwistle is one of Britain's leading contemporary composers. His intellectually challenging music has so far proved difficult to analyse. This thesis aims to account for the significance of Birtwistle's earliest published works, commenting on existing analyses, developing new approaches and, where available, drawing on the composer's own sketches, drafts and other manuscripts, reflecting my belief that the early music represents a clear blueprint for later works. The thesis is in two parts. The first consists of chapters 1 and 2, which deal with works for which no sketch materia

Abstract:

This submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy focuses on works for large instrumental ensemble in conjunction with the voice. Instrumental ensemble and vocal mediums such as the orchestral art song, the song cycle and the opera in one act, provide platforms to explore the expressiveness of the lyrical dramatic voice and the dialectic tension between composing for the solo voice with a range of instrumental ensemble forces. The portfolio of compositions includes the orchestral song, The Woman Who Refused to Dance; the orchestral song trilogy, Spirit Songs; and the opera in one act, Que

Abstract:

Esta tese se volta para a questão da morfologia em música através de duas atuações complementares em torno da música contemporânea, a composição e a pesquisa teórica. Ambas práticas desenvolvidas de modo complementar. A pesquisa aqui exposta estuda diferentes abordagens sobre a noção de morfologia na música contemporânea, elaboradas por compositores ao longo da segunda metade do século XX. São analisadas proposições voltadas sobre tal temática com o intuito de evidenciar novas aberturas sobre a criação musical e sobre o pensamento composicional, que surgem a partir de perspectivas morfológicas

Abstract:

This thesis traces young people’s ability to access local authority music service instrumental tuition in England from the Second World War to the present. It explores a range of social, economic, political and geographical factors that have impacted, and may continue to impact, on the provision and take-up of this tuition. The research adopts a Bourdieusian social praxeological framework and has been undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 is a historical documentary analysis of the development of local authority music services, with a contextualised focus on participation and perceived value. This

The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement or CAPS (which is the modified extension of the National Curriculum Statement policy), Music learning area, gives an option for Music learners to follow the Indigenous African Music (IAM) stream. This caters for them to be examined in African instruments. Currently, there are no available prescribed instrumental curricula in any IAM instrumental practices that learners can follow should they choose the IAM stream. Therefore, this research was prompted by the need for graded curriculum in IAM instruments for Music learners at the Further Edu

Full text

Abstract:

Contemporary music for horn often requires techniques and musical or notational considerations that are unconventional with respect to the standard pedagogy of the instrument. As such, these considerations often represent a level of challenge to which the average-intermediate to advanced-hornist is unprepared to approach or altogether unfamiliar. The most prominent of these demands arising in the last few decades of the twentieth century through today include microtonality (such as extended just intonation and quarter tones), extended techniques in combination or juxtaposition (such as multiph

Isso se dará levando-se em consideração as seguintes variáveis: características intrínsecas do instrumento; interação do intérprete com o instrumento; elementos mecânicos de interferência nessa relação. Serão abordadas, especialmente, obras dos compositores Helmut Lachenmann, Iannis Xenakis, Brian Ferneyhough, Aaron Cassidy e Simon Steen-Andersen. Também será

Abstract:

L’évolution lexicale qui tend à remplacer les termes d’« écriture » ou de « composition » par celui de « création musicale » ou d’« art sonore », est un indice parmi d’autres des mutations profondes qui accompagnent l’activité du compositeur et de la difficulté à identifier nombre d’œuvres récentes comme émanant d’un processus d’écriture. Ces mutations sont évidemment corrélées à l’évolution des technologies au cours du dernier siècle, et surtout à celle de l’informatique et des outils numériques, évolution qui a fait éclater le lien de l’œuvre musicale aux catégories traditionnelles telles qu

Abstract:

This study explores the experiences of young string players in a music collective called Face the Music. The organization consists of musicians aged 10 to 18, and is dedicated to the preparation and performance of music by living classical composers. I begin with the assertion that contemporary classical music, hereinafter referred to as contemporary music, is often misinterpreted and underappreciated by the general public, and even musicians themselves. There is minimal research exploring what contemporary classical music education is or could be, especially regarding non-professional musicia

Combinations of Chinese and Western instruments also enrich the timbre and result in an increasing number of percussion music with contemporary concepts. Aiming to analyze how metal instruments are utilized and interpreted in Chinese and Western percussion music, this essay is concentrating on four contemporary works, including three Chinese works: Deconstruction II, arranged by Wang Hsiao-Yin and Ko Yuan-Fu, Drama (Mov.
