Abstract:

Samuel Barber's Capricorn Concerto for flute, oboe and trumpet with strings is an important though seldom performed work. The concerto is teeming with performance choices that are indicative of both historical and contemporary influences. At present, there are limited resources available to performers regarding Capricorn. The first section of this study presents an historical and contextual examination of Capricorn both in terms of Barber's own compositional output and that of his influences and contemporaries. The second section includes a performance analysis of the work, while the third section includes an analysis of existing recordings. Implications for the performer are outlined in last section. The guide provides performers with pertinent background, analytical and performance information in order to facilitate informed, high-level performance.

Abstract:

In the art of song composition, American composer Samuel Barber was the perfect storm. Barber spent years studying under superb instruction and became adept as a pianist, singer, composer, and in literature and languages. The songs that Barber composed during those years of instruction, many of which have been posthumously published, are waypoints on his journey to compositional maturity. These early songs display his natural inclinations, his self-determination, his growth through trial and error, and the slow flowering of a musical vision, meticulously cultivated by the educational opportunities provided to him by his family and his many devoted mentors. Using existing well-known and recently uncovered biographical data, as well as both published and unpublished song juvenilia and mature songs, this dissertation examines the importance of Barber's earliest musical and academic training in relationship to his development as a song composer.

Abstract:

I denna textmässigt beskrivande del av mitt arbete med Knoxville: Summer of 1915 (opus 24), ett verk för sopran och orkester med musik av Samuel Barber och text av James Agee, har jag främst fokuserat på de delar i instuderingen av verket som haft mest betydelse för mig personligen, både som sångerska och som konstnär. Det som har haft avgörande betydelse för mig är verkets unika uppbyggnad, men även mina personliga känslor och egna livserfarenheter, som hjälpt till att forma min uppfattning om verket som helhet. De delar som belyses i uppsatsen är framförallt textens innebörd, verkets kulturella sammanhang och olika sätt som musik och sång kan samverka för att understryka och lyfta fram känslotillstånd och underliggande betydelser i ord.

Abstract:

The music of Samuel Barber is well known in the vocal, piano, and string literature; however, little of his chamber music involves woodwinds, and in particular, only one work involves the woodwind quintet. Summer Music, originally commissioned as a septet, developed after the premiere of the work into the woodwind quintet version, with the assistance of the New York Woodwind Quintet. Barber is considered a contemporary .romantic. composer, evidenced through his use of lyricism. Summer Music, a standard in the woodwind quintet literature, should be included in every professional flutist's repertoire. The intent of this dissertation is to consider Barber's use of lyricism as a determinant of the form of Summer Music, as well as to compare the differences between the manuscript and the published edition.

Abstract:

In this study the author develops a methodology for the study of the Samuel Barber Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Opus 14 by analyzing the stylistic components of the work, presenting important pedagogical principles, and offering an array of performance practice techniques. The primary tool used to formulate the methodology was a survey of exceptional violinists and pedagogues. Twenty-six professional violinists responded to a survey that asked their suggestions for preparing and performing five specific excerpts from the Concerto. The compilation of the responses provides an invaluable guide for violinists who are studying or teaching this staple of the instrument’s repertoire.

Abstract:

Samuel Barber is one of America's most popular composers of the solo song. His interest in this genre began in 1917, at age seven when he composed his first song, titled "Sometime". This interest was to last a lifetime, with his total song output numbering 106 (48 published and 58 unpublished); comprising over half of his more than two hundred compositions. In 1994 G. Schirmer, Inc. published a collection of ten early songs written by Barber between the years 1925 and 1937. Prior to the availability of these pieces, Barber's Opus 2--"The Daisies", "With Rue My Heart Is Laden", and "Bessie Bobtail"--were the only published songs reflecting his earliest compositional style. These ten new songs provide insights regarding this early style, and they display musical components, such as quartal and quintal harmonies, elements of church modes, counterpoint, and extensive word-painting, which Barber uses and solidifies in later works. These early songs are a delightful addition to the solo song repertoire. The vocal lines are flowing and effortless, emotions portrayed within the songs are always well balanced, and the accompaniments, in addition to supporting the vocal line, serve to set the tone of each piece. The variety of technical demands varies and many of the songs are accessible to young singers. Most importantly, they offer a perception into Barber's growth as a composer making them an invaluable resource to anyone interested in the development of the American Art Song.

Abstract:

This paper will serve as a practical performance guide for students and young pianists who wish to explore this sonata, and will provide knowledge that will help them shape their own interpretation. Interpretations vary from pianist to pianist and this paper will not propose a unique interpretation of Barber’s Sonata Op. 26. Instead, I will analyze the piece step by step, so as to point out the harmonic and melodic material which should be followed in order to understand the structure of the music. With specific technical advice and aesthetic suggestions both from recordings and my own experience I will try to elucidate the very thick texture and give another perspective of the piece.

A brief sketch of the composer’s biography will serve to establish an understanding of the historical background of the piece. Also, a stylistic analysis of the piece will be made through a study of the score. The original recording is the one by Vladimir Horowitz, whose relationship with Barber could absolutely be the subject of a whole new research project.

Abstract:

This thesis is an analysis of Andromache's Farewell by Samuel Barber. A setting for soprano and orchestra of a scene from The Trojan Women by Euripides, this work contains a variety of musical materials, skillfully used for dramatic impact. This paper analyzes these materials to uncover their relationships, thus revealing the style and structure of the piece. This composition displays an unusually dissonant and contemporary idiom for Samuel Barber. The discussion in this paper includes not only musical language but also text, orchestration, and performance problems. This neglected work deserves more attention. It is an important part of Barber's contribution to twentieth-century art.

Samuel Barber is an important American composer in the twentieth century whose compositional output includes extensive category: solo works, chorale, ballet music, orchestral pieces and operas. Despite of being in a time of experimentalism, he still maintains his music style of the tonality and Romanticism, and many of them are inspired by literary influences. Barber grew up in a family of musicians, and himself studied composition, piano and voice in the Curtis Institute of Music. He is particularly fond of literary works; half of the output is related to literary influences, and he applied many lyrics to his vocal compositions. The four-voice a cappella Reincarnation op.16 was composed between 1937- 40, published in 1942, and two of them premiered by the Madrigal Chorus at the Curtis Institute of Music. It comprises of three distinctive pieces, and the lyrics are derived from Irish poet James Stephens' poems with the same title "Reincarnation." The first piece worships the goddess Mary Hynes, the second one mourns the death of Anthony O' Daly, and the third "The Coolin." describes the desire in dreamland. This thesis contains five parts: the first part serves as an introduction; the second part discusses the backgrounds of the composer, the poet, and the particular piece. The third part analyzes the choral work by its different movements. The fourth part offers the author's interpretation as well as the suggestions for teaching the music. The final part concluded the thesis. One appendix is a list of Barber’s published chorus works.

Samuel Barber is one of the most distinguished American modern composers in the 20th century. The paper is a research on Barber’s piano composition, Excursion Op.20, which represents Barber’s technique of merging elements of American traditional music with classical music. Although the four pieces are based on the characteristic features of American traditional music, it also demonstrates Barber’s expressive and lyrical music approach. The first piece is constructed consistently with the accompanying pattern of boogie-woogie, an African-American style of piano-based blues characterized by a regular bass figure in the left hand. In the second piece, Barber captures the feeling of Blues not only by the changes of Blue notes but the slow tempo and relaxed repetition of syncopated rhythms also reinforce the melancholy mood in Blues music. The third piece is formed by several variations of a Latin American folk song. The fourth piece is an imitation of cheerful American country music.

Samuel Barber is a remarkable American composer, whose text-setting techniques are as diverse as the texts he selects for his songs. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss eight of Barber’s American art songs for solo voice with piano accompaniment, the lyrics of which all come from the writings of James Joyce. These songs include “Of that so sweet imprisonment”, “Strings in the earth and air”, “In the dark pinewood”, “Rain has fallen”, “Sleep now”, “I hear an army”, “Nuvoletta”, and “Solitary hotel”. The discussion includes four main parts. First, the development of American art songs is briefly described. Second, the backgrounds of composer and the poet are introduced, and the relationship between them is discussed. Next, a summary of Chamber Music, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake by James Joyce is presented. Finally, this study explores the character and ambiance of the eight songs by using literary and musical analysis, as well as discussion of the complex relationships between text and music. I believe this study can offer readers a reference for interpreting and performing the eight art songs.

Samuel Barber is one of the most important American composers in the twentieth century. He wrote 103 solo songs. Among these works, Knoxville: Summer of 1915, op. 24 is unique because its scale is larger than other vocal works and because it is the only piece Barber wrote for soprano and orchestra. Since the premier in 1948, this masterwork is considered the most “American” piece of Barber’s works, for that he successfully sketches the atmosphere described in the lyrics, that is, American country life during the 1910s. The main issue of this short thesis is to reveal reasons that make the work well-known for its “most American” nature. The musical education of the composer, the short biography of the poet, and the compositional background of Knoxville: Summer of 1915, op. 24 are mentioned. Through the analyses of lyrics, tempo and melody, the discussion focuses on how Barber translates the picture of American country life during the 1910s into musical notes.

The sonata for cello and piano in C Minor, op. 6, (1932) by Samuel Barber is the only duo sonata he had ever written for cello and piano. Barber consulted with performers, extracted and incorporated musical ideals in this work. We can find areas in the score that call for collaboration between the cellist and the pianist, such as rubato, rhythms, and melody interchanges. It gives equal importance for both piano and cello in this work, as there exist many “conversations” in the work. The collaborative relationships between these two instruments are explored in this study. This thesis aims to have a deeper understanding of the core spirit of the work that is the collaborative mindset possessed by the composer and the performers.

Samuel Barber(1910－1981) is one of the twentieth century American composers. Although Barber was a twentieth century composer, his compositional style followed the traditional romantic music form of Europe: simple, conservative, and lack of innovative outlook. Most of his works employed jazz elements and most of his work were lyrical- character based. Barber composed five piano pieces in his lifetime. His only piano sonata was the Piano Sonata, Op. 26. He started composing this piece in 1947 for the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the League of Composers. This sonata was premiered by Vladimir Horowitz, (1904－1989) in Cuba in1949. Piano Sonata, Op 26 consists of four movements with traditional musical forms, fully demonstrating Barber's mature musical style. He used both tonal music elements and twelve-tone technic row in this piece. The last movement is also known as a Fugue. This paper consists of Barber's biography, compositional approach and the analysis and exploration of the Piano Sonata, Op 26. It is author wish that this thesis will help both music students and performers to have a better understanding of the composer’s intention and conception of this composition.

Abstract:

This project explores Samuel Barber’s complete works for solo piano, including his early works published in 2010. The recording, captured on two CDs, represents the first complete collection of Barber’s published piano works and outlines Barber’s maturation from his teenage years to his full development as a world-renowned composer. The document includes a biographical sketch, an overview of his published solo piano works, and a performer’s guide. The performer’s guide examines technical and musical difficulties commonly found throughout his piano output, focusing on three aspects of Barber’s compositional appeal: lyricism, virtuosity, and eclecticism. The goal of this discussion is to aid the student in her exploration of Samuel Barber’s piano music.

Abstract:

Working at the intersection of narrative studies and political theory, this thesis performs an original critical intervention in Gulliver’s Travels studies to establish the work as an intertextual response to the hegemonic articulations of European travel writing produced between the 15th and 18th centuries under the discourse of Discovery. My argument proceeds through two movements. First, an archeology of studies on Gulliver’s Travels that identifies key developments and points of significance in analyses of the satire’s intertextual relationship with travel writing. Second, a discursive analysis of the role of Discovery generally, and travel writing specifically, in constructing European hegemony within a newly global context. Together these movements allow me to locate Gulliver’s Travels firmly within the discourse of Discovery and to specify the politics of the text and the poetics of its operations. For this analysis I adopt a conceptualization of hegemony elaborated by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe in Hegemony and Socialist Strategy (1985), which defines discourse as a structured totality of elements of signification, wherein the meaning and identify of each element is constituted by articulatory practices competing to fix the differences and equivalences between it and others within the discourse. An hegemonic discourse is one that successfully limits the possibility of novel articulations according to a particular governing logic. In the Age of Discovery, this governing logic, I argue, is a socio-spatial logic that constructed the “European” subject through its difference from the “Non-European,” the “civilized” subject through its difference from the “savage,” and the “free land” of the “savage” peoples through its difference from the occupied lands of the “civilized.” To conduct the concomitant critical analysis of Gulliver’s Travels, I draw upon Jacques Rancière’s conception of the “distribution of the sensible,” which refers both to the partitions determined in sensory experience that anticipate the distributions of parts and wholes, the orders of visibility and invisibility, and the relationships of address or comportment beneath every community; and to the specific practices that partake of these distributions to establish the “common sense” about the objects that make up the common world, the ways in which it is organized, and the capacities of the people within it. This enables me to establish travel writing as an articulatory practice that utilized a narrative modality to “reveal” the globe in a Eurocentric image dependent upon the logic of Discovery: a discursively constructed paradigm that I identify as what others have labeled “travel realism,” which organized the globe into a single field of discursivity predicated upon the “civilizational” and “rational” superiority of Europeans over their non-European Others. Gulliver’s Travels, I conclude, intervenes in this distribution of the sensible by utilizing the satirical form as a recomposing logic to upend the paradigm of travel realism and break away from the “sense” that it makes of the bodies, beings, and lands it re-presents.
