Abstract:

Inspired by Chinese poems, the overall characteristics of the work reflect the assimilation of several non-Western musical and philosophical influences such as the use of pentatonic scale patterns, the principle of embellishing a single note, and the application of the I-Ching in dealing with active instrumental passages over a long-sustained computer music drone. Traditional Western compositional techniques such as aleatory counterpoint, serialism, and moment form are also employed in the treatment of thematic material, developmental processes and formal design.

Abstract:

The oboe, which first came into being in the middle of the seventeenth century in France, underwent a number of changes throughout the following century. French instruments were influenced both by local practices and by the introduction of influences from other parts of Europe. The background of the makers of these instruments as well as the physical properties of the oboes help to illuminate the development of the instrument during this period. The examination of measurements, technical drawings, photographs, and biographical data clarify the development and dissemination of practices in oboe building throughout eighteenth-century France. This clarification provides new insight into a critical period of oboe development which has hitherto not been exclusively addressed.

Abstract:

Adagio und Allegro op. 70 är ett stycke för valthorn och piano av Robert Schumann (1810– 1856). Den skrevs 1849 av Schumann, ett år som han ägnade mycket åt att skriva för soloinstrument med piano. Adagio und Allegro finns även utgivet för andra soloinstrument än valthorn, bland annat violoncell, violin, oboe och tuba. Syftet med studien är att utföra en interpretation av Robert Schumanns Adagio und Allegro op. 70 för valthorn och piano som jag vill ha det rent musikaliskt och inte för att jag spelar valthorn. Jag kan uppleva att vi ibland styrs lite för mycket av vilket instrument vi spelar, att det ibland står i vägen för vår musikaliska interpretation. Jag har valt tre instrument jag kommer studera, dessa är valthorn, oboe och cello. Jag har jämfört notutgåvor, med utgångspunkt från min hornutgåva och inspelningar från tre instrumentalister per instrument. Detta för att försöka få en bred bild av hur stycket tolkas på olika instrument. Jag upptäckte att det finns en hel del skillnader mellan notutgåvorna. De flesta av skillnaderna är för att anpassa verket efter det instrument som ska spela. Dock innehöll oboestämman betydligt fler och större nyansskillnader än horn- och cellostämman. Mellan instrumentalisterna jag lyssnade på var det också stor skillnad. Jag upplevde att cellisterna generellt spelade mest uttrycksfullt och expressivt, men också att det varierar från musiker till musiker. Min slutsats av detta är att vi lätt låter vårt instrument styra mer än vi tror över vår interpretation. Dock upplever jag att flera av de modernare instrumentalisterna är lite mer fria än de äldre. Att vi mer och mer söker den tolkning vi vill ha musikaliskt och inte styrs av hur man ”bör” spela. Jag anser att vi går åt rätt riktning.

Abstract:

This is a study where I examine and compare the perceived emotional expression of brass instruments and reed instruments to investigate whether one group have an inherent tendency to better express a certain emotion than the other group. Based on scientifically proven methods, I have composed two musical pieces, where one of them represents the emotion of happiness and the other one represents the emotion of sadness. I have then written 5 arrangements per musical piece, where one of them consists of piano, two consists of solo instruments from each instrument group accompanied by piano, and two consists of a trio from each instrument group. This makes a total of 10 arrangements. These arrangements serve as audio examples in a web survey where I compare the two instrument groups based on how the audience perceive their emotional expression. A total of 36 people participated in the survey. Regarding the emotion of happiness, 71 % of the participants felt that trumpet and piano was the solo instrument version that best expressed happiness while 18 % chose oboe and piano. 44 % chose the brass trio as the happiest version while 36 % felt that the reed trio best expressed happiness. When it came to the emotion of sadness, 19 % of the participants chose trumpet and piano as the saddest solo instrument version, while 72 % felt that oboe and piano sounded the saddest. 25 % chose the brass trio as the saddest version while 67 % chose the reed trio.

Full text

Abstract:

"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.

Abstract:

This presentation is the premiere performance of a new musical composition for solo oboe, bluegrass band, and narrator. This new work combines the diverse musical traditions of Western classical music and Bluegrass with storytelling to reflect the unique cultural heritage of Appalachia. Appalachia is home to a rich and diverse cultural heritage that reflects its history of immigration. The modern oboe is a double reed instrument of French lineage that has served an important role in the development of the modern symphony orchestra. Bluegrass music also has European roots, but is a uniquely American genre reflecting the region’s rich history of immigration and integration of cultures. Bluegrass and Western classical music each have respective traditions in the method of music performance, composition, and dissemination. This performance is the premiere of a new musical composition commissioned for oboe soloist, bluegrass band and narrator. Incorporating a newly written narrative that reflects Appalachian storytelling and literary traditions, the piece incorporates the instruments, methods of performance, and musical style of the two musical genres. Re-imagining Faust’s tragic tale for this unique instrumental ensemble, this innovative work incorporates the dramatic tale of a desperate man who makes a deal with the devil to win the heart of an enchanting oboist.

Eernisse, Elliot Adam. "Overcoming technical and musical challenges for the oboe using excerpts from orchestral and solo repertoire." Diss., University of Iowa, 2016. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2071.

Full text

Abstract:

This document serves as a guide for college oboists who wish to improve their playing by targeting technical and musical challenges with annotated excerpts from orchestral and solo oboe repertoire. The contents of this essay are categorized by eighteen different performance challenges such as intonation, little-finger agility, dynamic contrast through the full range of the oboe, half-hole technique, phrasing, and rapid tonguing. Each chapter begins by identifying technical or musical difficulties and provides advice on how to overcome it using excerpts from the oboe repertoire. Each chapter presents two annotated orchestral excerpts and one solo oboe excerpt that targets the technical or musical difficulty. The orchestral excerpts are selected from standard orchestral repertoire from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. The oboe solo excerpts are selected from the repertoire that is widely taught in most universities. In conjunction with professional instruction, this guide may aid in improving an oboe student's performance abilities. My goal in writing this guide is two-fold: to give aspiring oboists a task-specific tool to use as they struggle with musical and technical impediments, and at the same time, to familiarize them with orchestral and solo oboe repertoire.

Full text

Abstract:

Mario Lavista (b. 1943) is a dominant figure in Mexican classical music. In the second half of the twentieth century, he promoted the use of contemporary techniques, leading to a series of collaborations with expert instrumentalists to explore extended techniques. Marsias for Oboe and Crystal Glasses is one of those pieces. Due to the nature of contemporary techniques, different oboes and reed styles produce different effects with the same fingerings. This document analyzes the contemporary fingerings in the two published editions of the work in consideration of the long-scrape reed style and oboes commonly used in the United States. The contemporary techniques were played on twelve professional oboe models as a way to collect data on how the printed fingerings work. The data is the foundation for the performance guide, which details every contemporary technique in the work. The performance guide also provides comprehensive information about the crystal glass logistics. The document also presents an electronic accompaniment created with Max/MSP in the event that the crystal glasses or crystal glass players are unavailable.

"An Analytical Study of Isang Yun's "Oboe and Oboe D'amore Concerto": The Intercultural Adaptation of Sigimsae for the Korean Piri with Modern Western Compositional Techniques for the Oboe." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2020. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1707332/.

Full text

Abstract:

Isang Yun (1917-1995), one of the most important avant-garde German-Korean composers, is perhaps best known for his success at integrating Korean musical elements into traditional Western styles. His Concerto for Oboe, Oboe d'amore, and Orchestra incorporates many traditional Korean elements, and uses techniques such as Hauptton, Hauptklang, and Umspielung to blend these elements into a Western musical style. This study explores the elements of traditional Korean music and instruments present in Yun's score, examines his compositional techniques, and makes practical performance suggestions that allow performers to properly convey his intentions. This dissertation includes six chapters. The first chapter discusses the purpose and importance of the study. The second chapter reviews Isang Yun's biography and works, based on a published interview with Yun and a biography written by his wife of many years. The third chapter introduces the characteristics of traditional Korean woodwind instruments relevant to the work. The fourth chapter examines Yun's compositional techniques of Hauptton, Hauptklang, and Umspielung in the work and their relationship with the main-tone and Sigimsae techniques. The fifth chapter introduces and explores different types of Sigimsae in the work, with suggestions for quarter-tone performance techniques. The sixth and last chapter is a conclusion.

Rubbra, D. Beaty, B. Britten, W.A. Mozart, and Others." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1988. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc332159/.

Full text

Abstract:

At the turn of this century, Charles Martin Loeffler (1861-1935) was considered to be among the finest of the handful of well-known American composers of the time. His music was often performed by major symphony orchestras, chamber groups and solo artists. Deux rapsodies for Oboe, Viola and Piano: L'Etang and La Cornemuse, after poems by Maurice Rollinat (1846-1903), show Loeffler's affinity for programmatic concepts. These works, completed in 1901, are revisions of settings of 1898 for low voice, clarinet, viola and piano, and are now, unfortunately, out of print; but the oboe, viola and piano setting has been published (originally as Deux rapsodies by G. Schirmer, 1905; the latest edition, Two Rhapsodies, is by McGinnis and Marx, N.Y., 1979) and recorded several times. Loeffler has reflected Rollinat's poetry in his settings by means of melodic, rhythmic and harmonic devices unique to his style. Formal and articulative devices also tend to point to his dependence on the poetry as a source of inspiration and as means for defining the final musical product. Indeed, the music seems incapable of existence independent of its source in the richly imagistic poetry of Rollinat.

Shaheen, Andrea Lynn. "The Zurna, Oboe, and Syrian Musical Practice: Authenticating a Musical Modernity." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/238615.

Full text

Abstract:

In contemporary Damascus, the modern oboe and an instrument known as its predecessor, the zurna, are heard on a daily basis as they continue to be employed in Syrian popular and folk music practices. After observing the pervasiveness of the sounds of these instruments in Syria, I proceeded to investigate the socio-cultural processes surrounding their usage. This study provides a history of the zurna, traces its development in Europe into the modern oboe, and explores the oboe's re-entry into musical practices in the Middle East. Through empirical fieldwork, I collected data that allowed me to observe the social significance of the sounds of these instruments for musicians and listeners alike in the Greater Damascus area. Using Jonathan Shannon's modernity improvisation model (Shannon 2006) as a departure point, I analyze the way Syrians use instruments such as the zurna and oboe in seemingly diverging ways to create their own "modern" subjectivities. Additionally, I demonstrate how these sounds reflect what Clifford Geertz refers to as the inevitable struggle between essentialism and epochalism in post-colonial nations such as Syria (Geertz 1971) through the analyzation of discourse surrounding instruments so deemed "modern" or "authentic" (such as the oboe and zurna, respectively) in contemporary Syrian society. Musical examples are included in order to demonstrate performance practice and provide perspective on the music theory behind the ways composers and musicians include the sounds of the oboe and zurna in particular works and genres.

Full text

Abstract:

This study presents new editions of four Baroque oboe concerti with ornaments added to the slow movements. The four concerti by three Italian composers were published in Concerti a Cinque Con Violini, Oboe, Violetta, Violoncello e Basso Continuo, Del Signori G. Valentini, A. Vivaldi, T. Albinoni, F. M. Veracini, G. St. Martin, A. Marcello, G. Rampin, A. Predieri, Libro Primo, No. 432 (Amsterdam: Jeanne Roger, ca. 1714-17). Scores have been created from the Roger print in a computer-generated edition with the original solo line on top, ornaments created in this study for the slow movements written out on the staff below, and followed by four additional staves containing the two violin, viola, and continuo parts from the print. The study focuses on creating ornaments for Concerto I in F major by Giuseppe Sammartini, Concerto II in D minor by Alessandro Marcello, and Concerti III and IV, both in C major, by Giuseppe Valentini. Since no treatises on early eighteenth-century Italian ornamentation are extant, the selection of ornaments for the concerti of the Roger print were guided by the characteristics and technical limitations of a reproduction baroque oboe, as well as music of early eighteenth-century Italian and Italian-influenced composers whose works were published with ornaments. Chapter I introduces the topic, composers, and publisher. The history and technical limitations of the baroque oboe are discussed in Chapter II. Chapter III examines published Italian and Italianate ornamentation. Chapter IV discusses the methods and rationale employed to ornament each of the slow movements of the four concerti. Chapter V summarizes the paper. The appendices include full scores of each of the concerti. The slow movement of each concerto includes both the unornamented and ornamented versions of the solo line.

Abstract:

Music Performance
D.M.A.
This monograph analyzes recordings of three orchestral excerpts for the oboe made between 1910 – 2016 and studies trends in interpretation, showing how performance practice is continually evolving as musical tastes change. The chosen excerpts span several style periods from the early nineteenth century to the twentieth century. The first excerpt, the cadenza from the Allegro con brio movement of the Fifth Symphony by Beethoven, has been under-studied by oboists and musicologists and yet it plays a pivotal role in the first movement of this iconic piece. The second excerpt, the Adagio solo from the second movement of Brahms’s Violin Concerto, has much room for individual interpretation and soloistic freedom on the part of the both the oboe and violin soloists. Finally, recordings of the technically-challenging twentieth-century excerpt, the “Prélude” solo from le tombeau de Couperin by Ravel, show how standards of musical perfection have been raised overtime as a result of the recording industry. Preference is given to recordings from countries with strong traditions in oboe performance, such as the United States, England, Germany, and France. To give a clear picture of performance trends, I study approximately ten recordings per decade. A large-data recording study such as this has never been attempted of orchestral excerpts for the oboe. Findings common to all three excerpts over time include: a decline in small-group, rhetorical phrasing; a decline in national schools; tempos becoming slower in the mid-twentieth century and faster towards the end of the twentieth century; and strongest similarities in playing styles of oboists with a shared pedagogical lineage.

Hassiotis, Kostis. "A critical edition of the '48 Studies for Oboe, Op.31 by Franz Wilhelm Ferling (1796-1874) : based on original historical evidence and viewed within the context of the evolution of didactic material for oboe, with particular reference to nineteenth-century performing practices." Thesis, City University London, 2010. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/8725/.

Full text

Abstract:

The present thesis is structured in an Introduction and four chapters. The Introduction discusses the originality of the subject and includes all available historical information concerning Ferling and his work as a performer and composer, and a detailed description of all of his known compositions. A substantial part of the information presented in the discussion of Ferling's compositions, and concerning their citations in nineteenth-century journals, is the result of original research and criticism. There is also reference to the importance of the 48 Studies in modern instrumental training. Chapter 1 examines the historical evolution of instrumental didactic material, concentrating on didactic compositions for the oboe and ultimately focussing on nineteenth-century oboe methods, studies and similar compositions. In this context the 48 Studies are compared to other contemporary didactic works for the oboe and to pieces of the same genre for other instruments. The chapter concludes with a detailed table of all nineteenth-century didactic compositions for the oboe, arranged chronologically. Chapter 2 presents the most important editions of the 48 Studies for Oboe Op. 31. The discussion determines its first publisher and the date of its original publication, based on contemporary information, and concludes that no modern edition is based on this original edition. The most important modern editions are also discussed and compared with their supposed sources. The differences that emerge from this comparison support the proposition that a critical edition of the work is necessary today. Chapter 3 has a brief description of all the historical (nineteenth-century) sources used in the critical report, together with a brief discussion of my editorial policy and the most important issues that demanded editorial intervention. The chapter includes a stemmatic filiation diagram. An extended and detailed critical report, together with the critical edition itself, which is the core and main subject of the thesis, are included in the Appendix. Chapter 4 discusses several performance-practice issues based on both modem scholarship and nineteenth-century pedagogical material (some of which was presented in Chapter 1). This discussion is closely related to editorial issues tackled in Chapter 3. The thesis concludes with a summary of the results of the research and a brief discussion of issues that await further investigation. The appendix presents all Tables referring to the discussion in the above chapters, comparisons between twentieth-century editions, the critical report as well as J. P. Spehr's 1837 edition of the Studies. In the course of research, I took advantage of an extended bibliography which includes dictionaries and other reference material, catalogues of compositions and music journals from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, many didactic compositions for the oboe from 1695 to 1900, and modern editions of Ferling's compositions as well as a large number of modem pedagogical compositions, books and articles on issues regarding performance and editorial practice.

Abstract:

Richard Strauss's Concerto for Oboe and Small Orchestra (1945-46, revised 1948) is one of the most challenging works in the oboist's repertoire. It requires a high level of musical artistry, great technical command of the instrument, and disciplined use of breath control in order to achieve a successful performance. The intent of this study is to provide all oboists, from the student encountering Strauss's Oboe Concerto for the first time to the seasoned professional looking for new inspiration, with concise and relevant information that will enrich his or her experience in rehearsing and performing the work. Historical details are briefly discussed, including the meeting between John de Lancie and Richard Strauss that resulted in the writing of the oboe concerto. A comparison between the first (1946) and second (1948) printings of the work, including a comparative analysis of the different endings, and a thorough discussion of their revisions done by John de Lancie (1987) offers further insight into various stylistic concerns inherent to the performance of the work. Finally, a comprehensive study of the endurance issues, orchestration, related stylistic aspects, and harmonic analysis designed for performers concludes the study.

Abstract:

The oboe and English horn works of Ross Edwards are fascinating and challenging to oboists of all abilities. However, Edwards' works have received little recognition beyond Australia. These pieces can be used to expose students to non-European influences in music, especially that of Aboriginal Australians. These works deserve to be considered part of the standard repertoire of an oboist due to their musical and technical demands and their position in the repertoire of the 20th and 21st centuries. Modern Australian music history can be traced back to the time the English first colonized the continent. After that time, the country began its journey toward musical independence from England eventually leading to a uniquely Australian sound. Born in 1943, Ross Edwards is a contemporary Australian composer that has identified his music as Australian. He acknowledges several outside sources in his music, from Australian Aboriginal to the distilled sounds of nature from the Australian Outback. Edwards has created his own musical style, utilizing distilled musical fragments later named icons, and system he uses to compose his works. It is through an understanding of where Australia's musical heritage begins, and how it develops, that we may gain a greater knowledge of contemporary Australian composers like Ross Edwards. This study demonstrates the importance of Ross Edwards' music in the development of an Australian sound through historical context and the analysis of his oboe and English horn works.

Abstract:

The English horn has persevered as a popular solo instrument by the many composers who have written for it since its inception as a member of the oboe family at the Court of Louis XIV in the seventeenth century. While modern English horn popularity and performance practice continues to flourish through new literature, master classes, and recordings, a review of the existing literature reveals that there is a need for an informative guide for advanced, college-level oboists who wish to begin doubling on the English horn. The present study is intended to serve as a comprehensive resource for the novice English hornist who seeks pedagogical advice on the development of specialized performance techniques, along with a discussion on the significant differences between the oboe and English horn, specialized English horn reed makingtools and supplies, and procedures for making and finishing long-scrape English horn reeds. Additionally, this study includes a brief history of the English horn and a discography of selected English horn recordings. Finally, a discussion of selected etudes from A.M.R. Barret's Forty Progressive Melodies and W. Ferling's 48 Famous Studies and correlating symphonic English horn excerpts concludes the study.

Abstract:

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att studera hur flöjt- och oboelärare erfar fenomenet undervisningsmetodik. För att uppnå detta syfte utgår studien från följande forskningsfrågor: Hur ser oboelärare på undervisningsmetodik som redskap i sin instrumentalundervisning? Hur ser flöjtlärare på undervisningsmetodik som redskap i sin instrumentalundervisning? Vilka likheter- och/eller skillnader finns det inom undervisningsmetodiken som redskap för instrumentalundervisning på flöjt och oboe? Studien omfattar en kvalitativ intervjustudie på musik- eller kulturskolor i Sverige med tre flöjtlärare och tre oboelärare och tar avstamp i det teoretiska perspektivet fenomenologi. Forskningsmetoden för studien bottnar i semistrukturerade intervjuer som sedan transkriberats och analyserats med tematisk analys. Resultatet bärs upp av fyra teman. Dessa fyra teman är: Allmän musikdidaktik, (trä)blåsmetodik, flöjtmetodik samt oboemetodik. Det första temat präglas av övergripande lektionsstrukturer, övningar men även förhållningssätt till undervisningsmetodik. Den sammantagna slutsatsen gällande fenomenet allmän musikdidaktik är innebörden av relationsarbetet med eleven men även yttre förutsättningar som färgar undervisningsmetodiken. Det andra temat belyser träblåsmusikers gemensamma beröringspunkter om vad det innebär att spela ett blåsinstrument. Lärarna erfar fenomenet andning som en gemensam och fundamental utgångspunkt men även en gemensam uppsättning repertoar. Det tredje och fjärde temat belyser flöjtens och oboens olikheter och förutsättningar för spel. Några exempel på skillnader instrumenten emellan är oboens dubbelrör vilket är något som flöjtspelet inte har. Även om flöjt och oboe är båda blåsinstrument visar resultatet på två skilda syner på blåsteknik. Flöjtspel handlar om förmågan att släppa iväg mycket luft medan oboespel handlar om att hålla igen med luft och att stå emot det höga trycket som bildas. I det påföljande diskussionskapitlet sätts resultatet i förhållande till tidigare litteratur och forskning.
The purpose of this study is to examine how flute and oboe teachers experience the phenomenon of methodology. To achieve this goal, the study is based on the following research questions: What are the oboe teachers view on methodology as tools in their instrumental education? What are the flute teachers view on methodology as a tool in their instrumental education? Which similarities and / or differences are there in the methodology as a tool for music instrument education on flute and oboe? The study is presented in a qualitative case study at music schools in Sweden with three flute teachers and three oboe teachers and is based on the theoretical perspective phenomenology. The research method for the study is based on semi structured interviews which have then been transcribed and analyzed with thematic analysis. The result is presented in four themes. These four themes are: General music didactics, (wood)wind methodology, flute methodology and oboe methodology. The first theme is characterized by general lesson structures, exercises but also the teachers approach to methodology. The overall conclusion regarding the phenomenon of general music didactics is the meaning of the relationship work with the student but also external conditions that color the methodology. The second theme highlights the common areas of woodwind musicians and what it means to play a wind instrument. The teachers experience the phenomenon of breathing as a common and fundamental starting point, but also a common set of repertoires. The third and fourth themes highlights the differences between the flute and the oboe and the conditions for play. Some examples of the differences between the instruments are the double reed of the oboe which is something that flute does not have. Although flute and oboe are both wind instruments the result shows two different visions on blowing techniques. Flute playing is about the ability to release a lot of air while oboe playing is about holding back with air and resisting the high pressure that is created. In the following discussion chapter, the result is set in relation to previous literature and research.

Abstract:

Richard Strauss (1864–1949) var en av de mest tongivande kompositörerna och dirigenterna under sin mycket långa och framgångsrika karriär. Hans oboekonsert, skriven 1945–1946, var ett av de sista stycken han komponerade och har sedan blivit ett mycket viktigt verk i oboerepertoaren. Kompositionen är både vacker och utmanande och spelas ofta både på konserter och i sökningssammanhang. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att genom analys av första satsen och analys av en inspelning av ett tidigare eget framförande få en bättre förståelse för stycket för att kunna förbättra framtida framföranden av det. Resultatet blev en djupare insikt i verkets uppbyggnad, en förståelse för vad som kan utvecklas i ett framförande av konserten och hur detta kan åstadkommas.

Full text

Abstract:

There are currently ten available works by Antonino Pasculli (1842-1924) for solo oboe or English horn and accompaniment inspired by themes from nineteenth-century operas by Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, and Verdi. These pieces are so virtuosic that Pasculli has been dubbed the “Paganini of the Oboe.” The technical demands can be so high that performers can neglect to approach artistic and scholarly interpretation of his lyrical passages. Some editions of his music list the referenced act and scene number from the original source. No existing editions include complete text from the original vocal excerpts or the context from the plots of each respective opera. This volume contains the complete text of the vocal excerpts Pasculli uses, insights from the dramatic plot context, and advice to performers on how to apply such information to an instrumental performance.

Full text

Abstract:

L'horloge de flore (The Flower Clock or Flora's Clock) by Jean Françaix was commissioned by John de Lancie, former principal oboist of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1957. It was completed in 1959 and premiered by Mr. de Lancie and the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1961. Since that time, it has become a staple of the 20th century oboe concerto repertoire. The current piano reduction of Jean Françaix's L'horloge de Flore consists of the full orchestral score in piano score format. Since it has been only minimally edited, it is an extremely difficult accompaniment for a single pianist. Collaborative pianists must make decisions concerning which pitch material to incorporate into an accompaniment. Many oboists have expressed the need for a revised piano accompaniment to make the piece more accessible to pianists and, thus, enable the concerto to be studied and performed more frequently by oboists. The purpose of this document is to further facilitate performance of this work in a recital setting by both professional and student oboists and to encourage student oboists to study the work by revising the piano reduction. In order to do so, it will be necessary to provide commentary and background on similar oboe works by Jean Françaix, provide a theoretical analysis of L'horloge de Flore, offer performance suggestions of the work for the oboist, clearly discuss transcriptional decisions in the revised piano reduction, and create a practical, two-hand piano accompaniment.

Abstract:

Syftet med studien var att finna lösningar i en begränsad repertoar för oboe, genom att belysa musik komponerad för violin av den ouppmärksammade kvinnliga tonsättaren Marion Bauer. Syftet var i förlängningen att inspirera andra musiker att utföra liknande studier. Detta genomfördes metodiskt genom konstnärliga val baserade på musikanalys och transkription till oboe av Bauers verk Up the Ocklawaha, Op. 6 som komponerades för den kvinnliga violinisten Maud Powell. Vidare egna inspelningar, musikhistoriska studier och intag av andra verk, såsom Clara Schumann-Wiecks tre romanser för violin och piano, Op. 22. I transkriptionen identifierades utmaningar i form av dubbelgrepp och flageoletter för violin. Studiens resultat påvisar lösningar genom konstnärliga val som prioriteringar av bärande meloditoner och oktaveringar. Resultatet indikerar att transkriptionen var fullt genomförbar genom noga övervägda konstnärliga val trots tekniska utmaningar. Studiens övergripande resultat belyser vikten av att framhäva kvinnliga kompositörer som annars i tillräcklig grad inte uppmärksammas.
