Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Quintets (Bassoon'

The first movement of the Piano Quintet, Op. 16 of Ludwig van Beethoven works out three significant motivic "topics": a chromatically filled-in second, appearing first as 5 - #5 - 6 (Bb - B - C in Eb major); the emphasis om the submediant, both as vi in Eb major and as the tonal region of C minor; and the melodic interval of the sixth, which, when inverted to become a descending third, determines the structure of tonal regions at crucial points in the movement. These three motivic topics are introduced in the opening measures of the piece and are subsequently unfolded throughout the movement; the focus of the thesis will be to trace the unfolding of these three topics.

This is a compilation of the music performed at the graduation recital of John Estacio on April 11,1991, at 2.30 p.m. in the U.B.C. Recital Hall. There were four pieces performed that afternoon including Azimuth for viola, clarinet and marimba, written in 1989. Ode on the Death of A Favourite Cat, Drowned in a Tub of Goldfishes for S.A.T.B. choir was written in 1989 and uses the text of Thomas Gray. Moments is a set of three pieces for woodwind quintet written in 1990. Viola Concerto is in three movements and was written in 1991 for Reg Quiring, a former U.B.C. student. The concerto is scored for solo viola and chamber orchestra. A cassette copy of the recital is available with this book.

Thesis (M.M.)--University of North Texas, 2008.
For flute oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, and marimba, with an optional percussion part (glockenspiel, chimes). Duration: ca. 6:45. System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader. Includes bibliographical references (p. 61-64).

Syncretisms is an original composition scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, and marimba (2-mallet minimum, 4 recommended) with an optional percussion part requiring glockenspiel and chimes, and has an approximate duration of 6 min. 45. sec. The composition combines modern western tuning, timbre, and harmonic language with organizational principles identified in music from Southeast Asia (including music from cultures found in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia). The accompanying paper describes each of these organizational principles, drawing on the work of scholars who have performed fieldwork, and describes the way in which each principle was employed in Syncretisms. The conclusion speculates on a method for comparing musical organizational systems cross-culturally.

Heitor Villa-Lobos brings significant new prospects for the bassoonist. Within this context this paper presents an investigation of the technical and interpretative skills necessary to perform the Ciranda das sete notas (Fantasy for bassoon and string quintet) by Villa-Lobos. The musical elements articulation, sound production, embouchure, breathing and fingering are based on the concepts presented by Julius Weissenborn (1887), Ludwig Milde (1950) Fernand Oubradous (1988), Gallois (2009) and the physiologist Fox (2007). The discussions are grounded on the above concepts and personal experience of the author in preparation to perform the Ciranda. Some excerpts were selected which expose mastery of technical skills for interpretation. It was found that there is a wealth of skills demanded in this Brazilian work, which enables the development of music skills equal to traditional foreign repertoire for the bassoon. This research shows the lack of literature, especially in Portuguese, with deep approach to the technical and interpretative elements - articulation, sound, embouchure, breath and fingering - for the bassoon player. In addition, a bassoonist who wants to interpret this work should: have knowledge of the sound characteristics of different regions of the bassoon for decision-making purposes of interpretation; master the skills related to playing legato in large intervals; be able to play staccato and legato throughout the whole extension of the bassoon. During the recital preparation I also noted that the above skills are recurring features present on Villa-Lobos other compositions, which makes the discussions presented here useful for application in the interpretation of other works of the composer.
Heitor Villa-Lobos, em sua obra que inclui o fagote, traz novas e significativas perspectivas para o instrumentista. Neste trabalho, apresento uma investigação das habilidades técnico-interpretativas ao fagote para a performance da Ciranda das sete notas Fantasia para fagote e quinteto de cordas de Villa-Lobos, uma obra representativa de sua produção para esse instrumento. Fundamentam-se os elementos musicais articulação, sonoridade, embocadura, respiração e dedilhado nos conceitos apresentados por Julius Weissenborn (1887), Ludwig Milde (1950) de Fernand Oubradous (1988), Gallois (2009) e o fisiologista Fox (2007). As discussões apresentadas utilizam-se dos conceitos expostos acima e da preparação e performance da obra realizadas por este autor. Foram selecionados trechos da Ciranda que evidenciam domínio por parte do fagotista de técnicas específicas para a interpretação. Constatou-se que há uma riqueza de habilidades demandada nessa obra brasileira, que possibilita um desenvolvimento em igual potencial ao tradicional repertório estrangeiro. Há também a escassez de bibliografia, sobretudo em português, com profunda abordagem sobre os elementos técnico-interpretativos articulação, sonoridade, embocadura, respiração e dedilhado associados à performance ao fagote. Além disso, um fagotista que pretende interpretar a obra deverá ter: o conhecimento das características das diferentes regiões do fagote para a tomada de decisões com fins interpretativos, com habilidade sobre a ligadura em grandes intervalos e staccato e legato por toda a extensão sonora do fagote. Durante a preparação dos recitais, notou-se ainda que essas habilidades são características recorrentes presentes na parte de fagote das diversas formações e composições de Villa-Lobos, o que torna as discussões aqui apresentadas úteis para aplicação na interpretação de outras obras do compositor.

The grouping of these four compositions is intended to create a balanced portfolio, illustrating the management of a variety of forms, media and compositional problems. The submission divides into two parts: Part I - The Compositions: (i) Pezzo Concertante A single-movement orchestral piece for double woodwind; 4 horns; 3 trumpets; 3 trombones; tuba; timpani; 4 percussionists; harp; strings. Duration c 11' This piece is a single-movement structure, compact and complete in itself, with some display elements for each section of the orchestra. It aims to provide both an interesting challenge for professional orchestral players and a strong and direct audience appeal. (ii) Concerto for Bassoon and Chamber Orchestra. In addition to the solo part it is scored for flute; clarinet; oboe; 2 horns; trumpet; trombone; strings. Duration c 15' This work plays continuously but is subdivisible into five sections of which the first three are virtually separate movements. It is designed to have an almost chamber-musical intimacy, while at the same time giving the soloist an opportunity to display many of the possibilities of the instrument. (iii) Sea Gods This is a setting for 8-part choir of a poem by H.D. (Hilda Doolittle). Duration c 7'30'' The setting was planned for a professional choir of not fewer than 16 singers, but could be very effective sung by a large chorus. It attempts to match the vivid imagery and intense feeling of H.D.'s powerful poem. (iv) Improvisation for Wind Quintet A single-movement work. Duration c 5' This short piece was written in 1991 for the Albany Wind Quintet who gave its first performance. Part II - The Notes: These explain some of the motivations and aims which inspired each piece. A short description of each work is given, together with a brief account of some of the underlying compositional techniques and considerations.

The career of Osvaldo Lacerda (1927-2011) spanned a critical time in the development of Brazilian nationalist music. Though he was an outspoken nationalist composer, he was also influenced by European trends and training. Even within his nationalist compositions, evidence of a shift in style that mirrors the European movements of Modernism and Postmodernism is found in his works. Among his thirty-six chamber works, three are wind quintets, written between 1962 and 1997. Although all three works warrant extended discussion, Variações e Fuga para quinteto de sopros is particularly valuable for studying Lacerda's musical language. It was originally written in 1962. However, Lacerda made significant revisions in 1994, completely rewriting and expanding it. Through comparing the 1962 and 1994 versions of Variações e Fuga and analyzing the significant differences between the two, this document aims show that even with his strong stance as a Brazilian nationalist composer, Lacerda was clearly influenced by the movements of the broader music world. Examples from his other two woodwind quintets, Quinteto de sopro and Suíte pra cinco, written in 1988 and 1997 respectively, help to support the idea that this change in his musical language was not an anomaly, but rather a true evolution of style impacted by his own culture and that of the classical music world around him.

The musical development of 20th century had great varieties. There were so many musical styles coexisted in the multicultural society. In this thesis, we study “Divertissement pour basson et quintette à cordes (1942)” which is one of the work of Jean Françaix (1912-1997). It’s the masterpiece of neoclassicism, which prevailed between 1918 and 1945. There are three major sections in this thesis. The first section introduces the colorful biography of Jean Françaix. Furthermore, we study the unique musical styles and creative characteristics of his works. Then we focus on studying the creation background of the work, Divertissement pour basson et quintette à cordes. In the second section, we analyze the musical structure and composition methods of this work. We mainly concentrate our attention on studying and comparing “the structures of the tunes”, “harmony”, “melody”, and “the modes of meter and rhythm”. The final section discusses how to combine the studies of the previous two sections in order to develop a better explaination.

The purpose of music is to bring the sense of hearing to the audience. Therefore, when the performer tries to touch people’s hearts by music, the first thing is to touch himself or herself. The main point of this thesis is to help the performer improve his or her sense of hearing by analyzing and interpreting Jean Francaix’s masterpiece “Divertissement pour Basson et Quintette à Cordes.” Through the coordination between bassoon and strings, the practice of intonation and the different seating arrangements, which generates different sounds, the thesis then discusses the influences by the factors above.
