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.
Klotz, Marcus L. "Eric Whitacre's When David Heard| Understanding Grief through the Lens of Kubler-Ross's Five Stages." Thesis, California State University, Long Beach, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10977634.
Full textThis project report analyzes Eric Whitacre’s choral piece When David Heard, a work about grieving the loss of a son, alongside psychologist Elizabeth Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief. The paper serves to better understand the lamentation of King David in Whitacre’s piece by seeing where each of the five stages fit into the process of grief throughout the piece.
The analysis observes Whitacre’s variety of musical devices such as tonal clusters, intermittent silences, and polyrhythms, as a means to describe the stages of grief that David is experiencing. By understanding these different stages of grief within the piece, one can conduct or sing the performance of this piece with better understanding of this grief.
Rush, Matthew E. "An Analysis and Performance Guide for Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Aura for Three or Four Percussionists." Thesis, The University of Nebraska - Lincoln, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10846156.
Full textThis doctoral document and accompanying lecture recital seek to illuminate and bring clarity to aura (2011) for three percussionists and AURA (2015) for four percussionists by Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdóttir. This composition is examined through a thorough musical and formal analysis to show that there is a guiding force to be found behind the sustained drones and complex bell themes of the piece. A performance guide to reduce the composition’s logistical and musical challenges is included in the hopes that it will shorten the learning curve for a new ensemble as they learn the piece. It is this author’s aim that this resource will make this composition accessible to a wider range of ensembles and thereby bring more exposure to the music of Anna Thorvaldsdóttir.
In addition, biographical information and a survey of the composer’s compositional process and style is included to increase the limited amount of scholarly research that currently exists on Dr. Thorvaldsdóttir and her works.

Full textThe aim of this study is to provide insight into the percussion music of Dave Maric through an analysis of a trilogy of pieces with backing track, Trilogy (2000), Sense & Innocence (2002/2014), and Thrice Into Flames (2017). The present study examines Maric’s influences, analyzes his compositional style, and provides a performance guide. Brief biographical information is provided to introduce Maric. His compositional style is examined by analyzing tonal language and formal structures. The tonal language of these pieces combines octatonic scales and diatonic scales. In terms of form, Maric uses mathematical sequences to determine proportions between sections, including the Fibonacci sequence. The performance guide includes sticking suggestions, transcriptions of backing track cues, and additional comments.

Contemporary classical concert music could be part of the solution to build a just and sustainable future. My research demonstrates that such music, despite its niche, elitist positioning in contemporary American society, can contribute to social movements and change the world in meaningful, tangible ways when attention is paid to social movement strategy and structures of power. To reconsider the potential power of this music, I apply a range of methodologies from ethnography to hermeneutic analysis to nonviolent direct action strategy, drawing on the work of musicologists, ethnomusicologists, and social movement theorists. Given the elitism of the classical concert hall, it is a non-obvious genre in which to convey a social justice or leftist political theme, yet many composers try to do so. I examine five of these composers in depth: Laura Kaminsky, David Lang, Curt Cacioppo, Ludovico Einaudi, and Hannibal (who goes by other names but used the mononym Hannibal in the concert which I discuss). Concurrently with my research, I composed a large-scale experimental work to be used in a protest to demonstrate the potential for contemporary classical music to support nonviolent movements. I organized a pilot performance that brought together music students and community members in the lobby of a large utility headquarters as part of an ongoing campaign for local green jobs in Philadelphia.

Tanikawa, Takuma. "Ondo for Chamber Orchestra." Thesis, The University of Chicago, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10809519.
Full textOndo was written for my grandmother’s 88th birthday. The composition comprises six sections based on a popular folksong, called “Tanko-Bushi,” which can be heard in every Japanese town during the Bon festival. Obon is a holiday in August, when we return home once a year to pay respect to our elders and ancestors. “Tanko-Bushi” became popular in Japan around the end of the Second World War and was based on a popular song from the early part of the twentieth century, around the time my grandmother was born, and has taken many forms since; it continues to do so under varied contexts and the versions I encountered there as a child, while attending the summer festivals with her, would have been but a small sample of these. As I worked on Ondo, I tried to imagine what it might have been like to live through all of the changes that took place in Japan over the past century. I think of the composition as a commentary on the westernization that has been taking place there and on the orientalization of Japanese identity—as an act of harmonizing disparate values. Between and within the sections, I explore varying degrees of fragmentation as they relate to, or disrupt, unifying threads that run through the four main sections (1, 3, 5 and 6). Above all, I wanted the piece to be enjoyable for my grandmother to listen to. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra gave a reading of the four main sections of Ondo on 28 January 2011 at the SPCO Center in Saint Paul, MN. Subsequent to the reading, two interludes (sections 2 and 4) were added as contrasting materials and as expansions upon the relationships explored between the diverse approaches to formal considerations in the piece.
Hollow, Malila Louise. "Scriabin's Gradual Journey to Post-tonal Writing| Pushing Boundaries through Harmonic Exploration and Synesthesia." Thesis, California State University, Long Beach, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10638764.
Full textThroughout his career, Alexander Scriabin created a bridge between traditional romantic harmony and modernistic, chromatic tendencies that ultimately led to the post-tonal era. Scriabin’s middle period after Opus 32 displays several examples of his progressive harmony. However, Scriabin’s transition into harmonic exploration is quite apparent in his Fantasy in B minor , which was written three years before his middle period is observed. This may demonstrate that Scriabin was developing his harmonic techniques much earlier in his career.
Furthermore, the thorough documentation of Scriabin’s color associations shows that Scriabin conceived his music with a strong integration of sound-color awareness. Many moments in the Fantasy appear to possess relationships between sound and color, which can be found in expanded harmonic techniques and multi-timbral textures within the pianistic writing. This essay will first discuss the existing research completed on Scriabin’s harmonic tendencies within earlier works, and then analyze the similar techniques used in the Fantasy. Using previous knowledge gathered about synesthesia, this essay will then examine the connections between Scriabin’s perspective on composition and his connection to synesthesia.
In summary, Scriabin’s unconventional voice leading, chromatic harmonic progressions, and altered tertian voicing, will be analyzed in Opus 28. Afterwards, synesthetic and multi-textural analysis will be demonstrated for the purposes of observing Scriabin’s exploration of the pianistic soundscape and synesthetic-inspired compositional techniques.

Full textThis doctoral dissertation is divided into two parts: the first deals a rhythmic set theory, and the second contains the portfolio of compositions developed during this period of studies. This dissertation presents a system of rhythmic organization parallel to the musical set theory pitch class organization FORTE (1973), as well as an adaptation of the time-point-system (BABBITT, 1962). From the standpoint of the traditional set theory, and also from the diatonic set theory, this unified approach allows to estabilish a connecting tissue of basic aspects: from the harmony and chords symbols to the rhythmic organization. At one time, in a complete catalog, the families of pitch class sets and chord symbols are related to their respective rhythmic counterparts. The musical motivation for this research came from my interest in the swinging and groovy repetitive rhythms called timelines (TOUSSAINT, 2013), commonly used in popular music. These dancing timelines have properties similar to those of the diatonic sets, and for this reason, this dissertation presents some properties of the diatonic pitch class sets, drawing a parallel with their rhythmic counterparts. These relationships also appear in the portfolio of compositions, characterizing some procedures used. The portfolio of compositions, which includes a composition for symphony orchestra, is presented form the standpoint of a duality between transparency and opacity. This duality address the essential differences in the audibility of the results from various composition techniques. This study of Rhythmic Set Theory will serve as an analytical approach of my compositional output in popular music, with a systematic way to understant and to extrapolate some aspects already used in my practice as composer and improviser.

Full textCláudio Santoro (1919-1989) composed, in all, fourteen symphonies throughout his life. The First Symphony for two stringed orchestras (1940), in addition to possessing a curious instrumental formation, also represents one of the inaugural works of his first stage as composer, looking alongside Koellreutter, new paradigms for the musical composition of his time, having influenced a generation of Brazilian composers. This work developed a complete, attentive and unpublished analysis of the First Symphony of Claudio Santoro, trying to demonstrate on which atonal aesthetic, being it dodecaphonic or free, had written the work in question. Besides the suggested identification, it is also proposed the investigation of possible aesthetic hybridity that may have occurred in the First Symphony of Santoro. The careful analysis of the movements that constitute this work, using methods such as the Theory of Sets developed by Allen Forte, Robert Morris\'s Theory of Musical Constraints and the parsimonious relation between different collections as proposed by Dmitri Tymoczko allowed us to identify some post Which indicate influences by authors like Claude Debussy, Paul Hindemith and Heitor Villa-Lobos in the first Allegro Majestic movement of the First Symphony of Santoro. The maintenance of some sonorities such as the pentatonic collection, the whole-tone scale and the acoustic collection are some of the indications that allowed us to identify such influences in Santoro\'s work. In the second Andante quasi adagio movement, we can observe a traditional serial process, which developed from two series that relate, such an approach was possible from the method of serial identification and counting, as proposed by authors such as Kostka and Francolí. In the third movement, we observe a structure that is generated from symmetrical collections such as the eneatonic collection and the paradigmatic octatonic scale, as well as other symmetrical formations that occur from overlaps between layers, a procedure that is also found in the work of Villa-Lobos. In this sense, the First Symphony for two chord orchestras by Claudio Santoro was conceived through postural procedures considered free and systemic, being possible to observe stylistic hybrids in this work.

This monograph explores the integration of improvisation and orchestral music. It consists of two closely related large-scale compositions, Amphion and Zethos, and an accompanying essay. Amphion, for orchestra, is in three movements and includes frequent references to styles and genres of the Baroque era, specifically the French dance suite. Zethos, for five improvisers and chamber orchestra, includes the three movements of Amphion, in toto, plus five additional concertato sections with improvisation. These sections have multiple player configurations and were composed for specific players with distinct improvisational skills. These sections also fulfill specific functions in relation to the three fully notated movements of Amphion: as introductions, codas, transitions, and development. The accompanying essay considers issues relevant to Amphion's and Zethos's rehearsal and performance, and examines their form and melodic/harmonic language. It also discusses the historical precedent and aesthetic rationale for improvisation in orchestral music, and the notation of improvisation in Zethos.

Amphion, for orchestra, is in three movements and includes frequent references to styles and genres of the Baroque era, specifically the French dance suite. Zethos, for five improvisers and chamber orchestra, includes the three movements of Amphion, in toto, plus five additional concertato sections with improvisation. These sections have multiple player configurations and were composed for specific players with distinct improvisational skills. These sections also fulfill specific functions in relation to the three fully notated movements of Amphion: as introductions, codas, transitions, and development. The accompanying essay considers issues relevant to Amphion's and Zethos's rehearsal and performance, and examines their form and melodic/harmonic language. It also discusses the historical precedent and aesthetic rationale for improvisation in orchestral music, and the notation of improvisation in Zethos.

Resumo: A presente Tese é resultado de pesquisas realizadas desde 2008. Em 2010 foi concluído Mestrado junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Música da UNICAMP, cujo tema principal foram as reflexões de Gérard Grisey acerca do tempo musical, apresentadas segundos as ideias e conceitos registrados pelo próprio compositor em seus escritos. Após a imersão no seu pensamento composicional viu-se necessário verificar como ele traduziu em música tais estruturas. Assim, o objetivo principal do presente trabalho é averiguar como o compositor construiu suas estruturas musicais, procurando as ressonâncias com sua produção teórica. Para isso foram escolhidas três peças de distintas fases composicionais de Grisey: Tempus ex machina (1979), Talea (1986) e Vortex Temporum (1994-96). Outro objetivo foi encontrar elementos do processo criativo do compositor que tivessem sido influenciados por teorias vigentes na década de 1970, especialmente a Teoria da Informação. A metodologia consistiu no estudo de bibliografia especializada, e na quantificação e análise dos principais elementos estruturais das peças escolhidas. Como resultados podem-se destacar: 1) elaboração de ferramenta de análise segundo taxa de entropia e informação; 2) identificação das estruturas fundamentais das três peças analisadas; 3) composição de peças originais a partir do estudo conceitual. Após o estudo detalhado das três peças verificou-se que as mesmas técnicas de manipulação dos materiais são preservadas ao decorrer da obra do compositor. A novidade se restringe especialmente à maneira como ele organizou formalmente os processos de transformação, atitude motivada pela necessidade de introduzir maior imprevisibilidade em sua música
Abstract: This thesis is the result of a research conducted since 2008. In 2010 was completed a Master Degree at UNICAMP, whose main theme was Gérard Grisey's reflections on musical time, presented according to ideas and concepts by the composer himself in his writings. After immersion in his compositional thinking it became necessary to check how he translated into music such structures. Thus, the main objective of this work is to investigate how the composer has built his musical structures, looking for resonances with his theoretical production. For this three pieces from Grisey¿s distinct compositional phases were chosen: Tempus ex machina (1979), Talea (1986) e Vortex Temporum (1994-96). Another objective was to find elements of the composer¿s creative process that had been influenced by prevailing theories in the 1970s, especially information theory. The methodology consisted in the study of relevant literature, and, quantification and analysis of the major structural elements of the chosen pieces. The results that can be highlighted are: 1) the development of an analysis tool by rate of entropy and information, 2) identification of the fundamental structures of the three pieces analyzed, 3) composition of original pieces based on the conceptual study. After the detailed study of the three parts it was found that the same techniques for handling the materials were preserved throughout the work of the composer. The novelty is restricted especially the way he formally organized the processes of transformation, attitude motivated by the need to introduce greater unpredictability in their music
