TITLE: ATROPHY FOR ORCHESTRA MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Frank Stemper In early 2010, I became inspired to compose a piece of music for orchestra. First, there were several items to consider. I had to decide whether to write for a rather large orchestra, a normal size orchestra or a smaller sized, chamber orchestra. Up until this point I had yet to write an orchestral composition. Indeed, there are multiple aspects to not only composin

Abstract:

A body of works titled 'capriccio' have existed for over four hundred years. Most of these works are characterized by a composers abandonment of expected stylistic norms. Guided only by the fanciful whim of the composer, a capriccio exhibits extreme contrasts in the various parameters of a musical composition including melody, harmony, counterpoint, mood and texture. The composition embedded in these compositional parameters as its point of departure and development.

Abstract:

The six Pieces for Orchestra are short twelve-tone compositions . Each piece is an individual entity in itself, but they all stem from the same twelve-tone row. The method of composition with twelve tones evolved through the works of Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). It was utilized by his disciples and has won general acceptance by a wide variety of composers.

Abstract:

Hoichi is an original musical composition for orchestra. It is approximately 42 minutes in length. The piece is inspired by a Japanese folk tale entitled Hoichi, the Earless. This story about a blind lute player takes place in Shimonoseki, the city in which I was born. The contrast between chamber sonority and orchestral forces symbolizes Hoichi's battle against evil spirits. Although he eventually loses his ears and dies the music turns into a strong life assertion toward the end. I relate this to a Zen Buddhist notion: when you lose (transcend) everything, you gain everything. The piece ends

This three movement work, in roughly the classical concerto mold, is designed to explore the combinatorial and soloistic color possibilities of the horn with a chamber orchestra accompaniment. This instrument-oriented composition is reflected in both the structure and substance throughout. Each individual movement focuses on a different aspect of the horns capabilities (broad range in movement I, "singing" quality in movement II, and virtuosic potential in movement III). Harmonies and motives are likewise derived from the horn itself, including it's historic "hunting-horn" origins, as well as

In order to achieve this, I needed a film that was both larger-than-life and contained, in my opinion, an easily replaceable score (or no score at all). After considering and

Delphic Suite is a composition for orchestra that depicts specific events narrated in Homer's epic tale, Odyssey.

Each of these musical parameters will be analyzed in order to illustrate the Suite's imitation of compositional techniques exemplified in the music of Homer's era, and the musical results obtained by juxtaposing those parameters upon a twentieth-cent

Musically the text is represented by the use of diverse textures and compositional techniques, including tone rows, cryptograms and the use of timbre, color, and contour.

Prägnanz is a single movement composition for orchestra. This composition reflects the influence of minimalist composers such as Phillip Glass and Steve Reich. The structure of the piece is generated by a rhythmic motive that is transformed through a large-scale additive process. This overarching process is periodically interrupted by contrasting episodes, creating a form similar to a rondo. Several themes and gestures are explored, including a phasing rhythmic motive. The harmonic language is static, almost monolithic, in order to accentuate the gradual motion of the piece towards its goal. T
