Abstract:

Micro-Images for Solo Flute, Genera for Flute/Alto Flute/Bass Flute and Clarinet/Bass Clarinet, and Poème exotique for Flute and Piano by American composer Daniel Kessner (b. 1946) utilize a hybrid compositional approach in which microtones are incorporated with more traditional chromatic writing. Through representative musical examples from each piece, this document highlights the timbral, dynamic and pacing complexities associated with the microtonal fingerings and prompts flutists to forgo idiosyncratic tendencies in favor of contextually based choices. In order to help guide musicians tow

Abstract:

Turning Over is a 13-minute composition for 13 instruments, piano, electronic piano and pre-recorded electronics. A strong emphasis on harmony, representing the result of two years of research into various intonation theories of the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries, is reflected in the subtle variations in intonation between the equal-tempered acoustic instruments and the just-intonation tuning of the electronics as well as the electronic piano. The musical discourse reflects philosophical concerns regarding the concept of essence in music and its illusive nature – this translates into a musical

Abstract:

Adolphe Sax believed his invention, the saxophone, was the link between louder and quieter instruments. Changes to the instrument and to playing techniques have lessened the saxophone’s ability to play quietly, and subtone techniques are now utilized for playing at lower-end dynamics. This PhD proposes a new method for playing the saxophone at lower-end dynamic levels. This method uses breath control to allow lower-end dynamic playing on the saxophone. The new method has been tested through its use in different musical compositions and in combination with different extended techniques. The new

Abstract:

“Eclipses” orchestrates the movements of human beings as celestial bodies—as wandering beings that emit waves, cycle in orbit, and create shadows. Subtle microtonal movements, or retunings of the same pitch, tell the story of gradual planetary motion leading to the drama of the eclipse. In the dimmed light of a solar eclipse, even the most familiar surroundings seem unfamiliar and strange. The harmonic material of “Eclipses” was composed using the Rainbow Harmony Matrix, a MaxMSP-based mouse and keyboard interface designed for real-time interaction with a 2D colorized pitch space defined by Ju

Abstract:

Cette recherche se situe dans le champ disciplinaire de l’interprétation instrumentale : elle concerne très précisément le jeu de l’accordéon. De nombreux compositeurs•trices jouent actuellement sur une forme de ressemblance entre le son de l’accordéon et les sons électroniques. En effet, l’accordéon est un instrument qui peut moduler des sons complexes, à l’instar d’un synthétiseur. Cette ressemblance est encore plus prégnante avec l’accordéon microtonal XAMP. À partir de ce constat, il est possible de prendre modèle sur le son électronique afin de formaliser un style de jeu instrumental imit

Cette thèse en composition musicale commence par un questionnement : quels sont les modèles sur lesquels reposent les pratiques compositionnelles actuelles ? À partir de cette interrogation fondamentale, cette étude interroge les courants esthétiques et artistiques qui traversent la création d'aujourd'hui, à l'ère de la société considérée comme post-numérique. Elle vise ainsi à donner un cadre à la fois critique et théorique à une série de travaux qui ont été réalisés au cours de cette étape de doctorat et dont le fondement repose sur l'utilisation de métadonnées issues de modèles naturels pou

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the role that timbre and microtones perform in my music and how these elements are intrinsically linked. Timbre and microtones are the two most important features behind my compositional approach to this point and are used to enhance the aesthetic expression in my works. This is demonstrated by the analysis of four works written between 2007-10 including: Tensility-Vortex, The German Hills, The Styx and Zodiac Turbulence. Each work uses one of a broad variety of subject areas as an influence, and incorporates various spectral harmonic techniques to assist the express

Abstract:

Microtonal pitch systems have musical implications beyond the organization of pitch, suggesting the possibility of functioning symbiotically with orchestration, rhythm, and form in a musical work. This essay focuses on three compositions, each of which approaches tuning and microtonality in a unique way: The Delusion of the Fury (1969) by Harry Partch, Limited Approximations (2010) by Georg Friedrich Haas, and Asking Ocean (2016) by Marc Sabat. After a general analysis of the pitch materials in these three works, passages of music are examined and compared to illustrate how pitch systems, espe

Abstract:

Music is ubiquitous across all human cultures. It is hypothesised that the development of music and of language in human evolution is linked (Wallin et al., 2001), and music, in addition to language, is known to be communicative. One way music – particularly music employing the widely used system of tonality – communicates is through tension and resolution, or stability and instability, where instability is the need to resolve and stability its destination. Most tonal-harmonic music today exists in a Western tuning system and experimental research into the perception of harmonic tonality is co

Abstract:

abstract: Most violinists of the Western classical tradition are untrained in the aural skills and left-hand techniques of microtonal intervals. This document surveys the nature of the problem and presents a manual for self-teaching the three-quarter tone step—the equal tempered ‘neutral second’ (N2) a quarter tone between the major and minor second intervals—through the melodic syntax of specific Persian classical music (PCM) modes. While the paper does not teach PCM performance, it does offer a method of melodic functional hearing through a new solmization system designed specifically for PC

Abstract:

This PhD project aims to investigate the learning of novel music systems during brief exposures (up to 20 minutes). Specifically, it examined the learning of microtonal pitch systems, including the learning of their pitch interval structure and the frequency of occurrence of each pitch member of the systems. Five experiments have been conducted and the findings are separately submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication. The submitted manuscripts are provided as individual chapters in this thesis. Experiment 1 and 2 are presented in manuscript (MS) 1, 3 is presented in MS 2, while 4 and

Abstract:

The sensory phenomena of music perception are considered to be highly non-linear. The golden ratio plays a key role in nonlinear dynamic systems and has been recognized as an aesthetic element in many places over time. This research develops the 34-note equal tempered scale (34-TET). A microtonal model based on the golden ratio, containing the harmonic musical intervals, and permitting a consistent approach that embraces the different temperaments throughout history, as well as other music cultures. These theoretical properties are practically exposed in two portfolios, including compo
