Full textAbstract:
Johannes Möller's 2014 composition Shenandoah Fantasy for Two Guitars, is a theme and variations on the American folksong Oh Shenandoah and is the composer's only work dedicated to American music. An informed performance of this work requires biographical information. Since no scholarly work on this composer is currently available, this paper includes Möller's biographical information, compositional background and performance suggestions. This information was acquired through a recorded video interview with the composer that covered his early education as a guitarist and composer, his formal conservatory training, career accomplishments, influences that informed the piece, and suggestions for performance practice. The insight gained through this interview reveals its main influences as the Romantic Fantasy, American Minimalism, Keith Jarret's harmonization of Oh Shenandoah, American country and bluegrass music, and the sounds of American folk instruments. These are the subjects of the body of this paper. In addition to an overview of some scholarly writing on the styles which influence the piece, some solutions are offered at the end of the paper to aid in the performance of difficult passages. The intent of these solutions is to make the piece easier for the left and right hand, without sacrificing those musical elements that represent its influences. This is currently the only scholarly work available for Shenandoah Fantasy for Two Guitars and its composer.

Vera, Fernand Toribio. "Selected Harpsichord Sonatas by Antonio Soler: Analysis and Transcription for Classical Guitar Duo." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2008. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc9727/.
Full textAbstract:
Due to the limited repertoire for the guitar from the Baroque period, classical guitarists who wish to perform music from this era have to work primarily with transcriptions. Guitarists draw from various sources from this period such as vocal and instrumental music for the five-course guitar, lute and the harpsichord. Of these sources, the repertoire for the harpsichord is perhaps the most frequently arranged for various guitar formations because its textures are greatly similar to those of the guitar repertoire. As a result, harpsichord music tends to transfer well to the guitar. Baroque harpsichord composers such as Domenico Scarlatti, Johann Sebastian Bach, François Couperin, and Jean-Philippe Rameau-to name a few-have a permanent home in the classical guitar canon and represent the musical tastes and styles of Italy, Germany, and France. These composers exemplify the various stylistic differences between the above-mentioned countries; yet, the harpsichord music of Spain is largely underrepresented in guitar collections. One of the most noteworthy Spanish harpsichordists was Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783), who composed 120 sonatas for the instrument. When considering the ease with which some of his works transfer to the guitar, and specifically guitar duo, much can be gained by expanding the repertoire and exploring the Spanish Baroque style. The purpose of this study is three-fold: first, to present transcriptions of Antonio Soler's Sonata No. 85 and Fandango for guitar duo; second, to provide analysis of Sonata No. 85 with an emphasis on the intervallic features of the motives; third, to give an overview of the transcription process of Fandango for guitar duo while including a study of Spanish Baroque guitar and the appropriate stylistic effects drawn from its repertoire that can be incorporated in the arrangement.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how a small selection of guitar teachers go about to teach chords on electric guitar, as well as how a small selection of guitar students have experienced the phenomena during their studies. To answer the research questions, two experienced guitar teacher and two guitar students were subjects to qualitative interviews. The theoretical perspective of the study was hermeneutic. The results showed that the methods employed by the teachers to a high degree related to how they have been taught and also learned by themselves. Another result is that the combination of systems, music theory and practical musical performance can help guitar students to reach a point of musical independence. The results provide an insight in how chordal playing on electric guitar can take place on a higher level, and also opens up for research within several areas of guitar education.<br>Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur ett mindre urval av gitarrlärare lär ut ackord på elgitarr, samt hur ett mindre urval gitarrelever upplevt att de undervisats i ackordspel. För att besvara forskningsfrågorna genomfördes kvalitativa intervjuer med två erfarna gitarrlärare, samt två gitarrelever som studerat elgitarr på musikgymnasium och folkhögskola. Studiens teoretiska perspektiv var hermeneutiskt. Resultaten visar att lärarna till stor del undervisar med metoder som fungerat för dem själva, samt att en kombination av system, musikteori och framförallt praktiskt musicerande kan ge gitarrelever de grundkunskaper som behövs för att vara självgående som elgitarrist. Resultat ger en inblick i hur ackordundervisning kan ta form på högre nivå, och öppnar upp för flera områden av framtida forskning i elgitarrmetodik.

Hodges, Glen J. (Glen John). ""Eyre," a Three Movement Instrumental Work for Small Chamber Ensemble." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1991. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc503921/.
Full textAbstract:
"Eyre" is a composition of approximately sixteen minutes duration for an instrumental ensemble consisting of two flutes, oboe, B𝄭 clarinet, bassoon, guitar, and cello. It is inspired by a large seasonal lake basin in South Australia of the same name. The piece is divided into three movements; the first is fast and quasi sonata-allegro form without the recapitulation; the second is slow and through-composed; and the third, essentially the missing recapitulation from the first movement. Much of the motivic material for the piece is derived from the initial progression of triads. Harmonic and melodic development of this material contains some modal tendencies. While the overall effect tends toward equal weighting of the instrumental forces, there is some featuring of the guitar and an interplay between the woodwind and string instruments.

Previous issue date: 2011-03-31<br>This research investigates the Sonata for Guitar by the Brazilian composer Cesar Guerra-
Peixe; it aims a critical edition, as the result of a comparison among the primary sources. The
work presents an introduction in which the reasons that led us to the research are shown,
followed by general aspects from the guitar works by Guerra-Peixe, in search for analogous
compositional characteristics. Then, the elements that set the theoretical bases for this work are
presented, in which point we discuss the directions of our questions related to musical edition,
analytical parameters, as well as the interpretation of the sonata. In the next chapter, the
differences between the printed sources and the manuscripts are pointed, where the reasons for
those choices are discussed and the results for achieving our critical edition are delimited.
Finally, some technical-interpretative possibilities for the sonata are presented, targeting the
increase of information related to the performance.<br>O presente trabalho tem por objetivo a realização de uma edição crítica da sonata para

seguida de aspectos gerais da obra para violão de Guerra Peixe buscando traços composicionais
análogos. São apresentados a seguir os elementos para a fundamentação teórica de nosso
trabalho, onde discutimos sobre direcionamentos às nossas indagações referentes à edição
musical, à parâmetros analíticos, bem como às questões interpretativas da sonata. No capítulo
seguinte são apontadas as diferenças entre as fontes impressas e os manuscritos, discutindo-se as
prováveis razões dessas escolhas e delimitando os resultados para chegar à nossa edição crítica.
Apresentamos então algumas possibilidades técnico-interpretativas na sonata visando ampliar as
informações referentes à performance.

"Transcribing English Virginal Music for Two Guitars: Historical Perspective, Methodology, and Practical Applications." Doctoral diss., 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.53761.
Full textAbstract:
abstract: In the 1950s, Miguel Llobet (1878–1938) and Emilio Pujol (1886–1980) published the first transcriptions of piano and orchestral music for two guitars that became staples in the repertoire. Ida Presti (1924–1967) and Alexandre Lagoya (1929–1999) expanded their efforts with new adaptations of Baroque, Romantic, and Modern music. Following their examples, generations of professional guitar duos have maintained a similar transcription repertoire. However, closer examination reveals noticeable gaps in it as Renaissance works have been largely overlooked. To illuminate this issue, chapter 2 revisits adaptations for two guitars of music originally written for vihuelas, lutes, viols, and the virginal to inquire about the reasons for this neglect and discuss plausible solutions. Because the virginal stands out for its innovative characteristics and alignment with the solo lute works by John Dowland (1563–1626) and John Johnson (ca. 1545–1594), the “English School” of Virginalists is further explored as a potential source of suitable works for transcriptions.
Chapter 3 discusses philosophical concepts and editorial practices to propose a method aimed at producing stylistically faithful adaptations of virginal music. The editorial criteria for this method are informed by in-depth reflections on terminology, the ontology of musical works, the notion of authenticity, and common sixteenth-century practices from musica ficta to tuning temperaments and notational conventions. Concerning ethical matters, this chapter assesses authorship issues that originated at the turn of the nineteenth century but are still adopted by modern editors and transcribers. This discussion aims to shed light on both the negative impact on intellectual property and how it can be avoided by simply resorting to the practice of scholarly transcriptions. Chapters 4 and 5 explain the procedures and applications of the proposed method in two parts: adaptation and revision. The first introduces concepts and strategies from choosing suitable works to balancing playability and aesthetic fidelity intended to produce a preliminary version of the original work. The second establishes a knowledge base through musico-historical discussions and comparative analyses of sources that inform editorial decisions and necessary changes to be implemented in the final score.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Doctoral Dissertation Music 2019

Full textAbstract:
abstract: The purpose of this project is to introduce Bryan Johanson's composition for two guitars, 13 Ways of Looking at 12 Strings, and present an authoritative recording appropriate for publishing. This fifty-minute piece represents a fascinating suite in thirteen movements. The author of this project performed both guitar parts, recorded them separately in a music studio, then mixed them together into one recording. This document focuses on the critical investigation and description of the piece with a brief theoretical analysis, a discussion of performance difficulties, and guitar preparation. The composer approved the use and the scope of this project. Bryan Johanson is one of the leading contemporary composers for the guitar today. 13 Ways of Looking at 12 Strings is a unique guitar dictionary that takes us from Bach to Hendrix and highlights the unique capabilities of the instrument. It utilizes encoded messages, glass slides, metal mutes, explosive "riffs," rhythmic propulsion, improvisation, percussion, fugual writing, and much more. It has a great potential to make the classical guitar attractive to wider audiences, not limited only to guitarists and musicians. The main resources employed in researching this document are existing recordings of Johanson's other compositions and documentation of his personal views and ideas. This written document uses the composer's prolific and eclectic compositional output in order to draw conclusions and trace motifs. This project is a significant and original contribution in expanding the guitar's repertoire, and it uniquely contributes to bringing forth a significant piece of music.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Recording of movement 1: Toccataesque mp3<br>Recording of movement 2: Bad Egg Cafe mp3<br>Recording of movement 6: Strings Etouffee mp3<br>Recording of movement 7: Steel Pans mp3<br>Recording of movement 8: Slide Rule mp3<br>Recording of movement 10: EGAD! mp3<br>Recording of movement 13: Jammus Vulgaris mp3<br>D.M.A. Music 2011

Full textAbstract:
abstract: Arrangements of music from other instruments have always played a key role in expanding the guitar repertoire. This project investigates the life and work of eighteenth-century composer Antonio Soler (1729-1783), specifically his sonatas for solo keyboard. This study carries out a formal inquiry on Soler's influences, including a background of Soler's life and training, his connection with Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), and an overview of the eighteenth-century sonata in Spain. Timbres, articulations, tessitura, and other aspects of Spanish folk music are discussed as related to Soler's composition style. Five sonatas are analyzed in connection to Spanish folk music, and part of this study's focus was arranging the sonatas for two guitars: R. 48, 50, 60, 106 and 114. An overview of the current arrangements of Soler's sonatas for guitar is included in Appendix A.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>D.M.A. Music 2014
