Abstract:

The six piano suites of R. Nathaniel Dett (1882-1943) constitute a substantial body of piano music that illustrates the musical development of an important, but historically neglected American musician. Dett was a seminal figure in the preservation and study of spirituals, both as a writer and choral leader, and as a great teacher and inspirer of African-American musicians in the generations that followed him. Educated at Oberlin and Eastman, he was lauded as the first American composer to fuse Negro folk music with European art music tradition.

The writing of a series of like-genre works over a composer's lifetime, reflecting stylistic changes and a deepening world view, is a special event in the history of keyboard music. Unfortunately, Dett's piano music is rarely performed except for the second of the suites, In the Bottoms. Although his importance to African-American musical history is generally acknowledged by musicologists, his works for piano have remained largely unexplored by performers.

Dett's eclectic pursuits included poetry, the Rosicrucian Society, and religion. This study explores the connections between the suites and other musical styles and traditions, Dett's many extra-musical interests, and his performing life. It also offers some possible explanations for the relative lack of attention received by his piano music.

This study incorporates research from readily-available sources, as well as the Nathaniel Dett archives at the Niagara Falls New York Public Library and Hampton University. The first three chapters give an overview of Dett's style and influences, as well as a description of how his musical language developed from his first suite, Magnolia (1912), to his last, Eight Bible Vignettes (1941-43), written at the end of his life. Each suite is examined individually in detail in the following six chapters. It is hoped that this work will stimulate appreciation of Dett's piano music and lead to more frequent performances. Its goal is to give to the reader the same sense of admiration and joy that the author's exploration of these works has given him.

Resumo: Este projeto tem por principal objetivo apresentar uma possibilidade de execução para a música sinfônica de influências afro-brasileiras, muito pouco explorada pelos nossos intérpretes. Para tanto foi escolhida, especificamente o "Batuque" da Suíte "Reisado do Pastoreio" do compositor Oscar Lorenzo Fernândez, uma das obras brasileiras de maior riqueza musical e reconhecimento no cenário internacional. Esta pesquisa tem como justificativa a contribuição para o enriquecimento da bibliografia técnica brasileira em práticas interpretativas e também da discografia, através de dois Cds que acompanham esta dissertação, uma vez que faltam materiais de suporte disponíveis para o estudo deste gênero musical. A metodologia constou de: leitura de bibliografia especifica para um estudo das origens do termo batuque, as características das práticas musicais e de danças dos negros afro-brasileiros desde o período colonial, suas transformações até as primeiras décadas do século XX, em seguida um paralelo com a trajetória do compositor e sua produção musical, uma análise formal, uma análise interpretativa e comparativa com mais duas execuções distintas desta peça. Entre os resultados obtidos, contam-se a aplicação de conhecimentos teóricos na prática interpretativa; a contribuição para maior entendimento deste repertorio especifico assim como abertura para uma nova perspectiva à pesquisa musical; além de fornecer material útil para o ensino de música de câmara e de prática orquestral
Abstract: This research had the main object to present a possibility of performing the Brazilian symphonic music formed by afro-Brazilian influences, very little explorered by our performers. For that, was chosen particularly the "Batuque" from Suite "Reisado do Pastoreio" composed by Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez, one of the Brazilian woks full of musical richness and recognition at the international environment. This research had as justification, the contribution for the enrichment of the Brazilian technical bibliography in performing practices and discography through two CDs which join the dissertation, once that there is a lack of support material for the study of this kind of music. The methodology, at first, has consisted of the reading of particularly bibliography about the genesis of the term batuque and the characteristics of the musical practices and the dances of the afro-Brazilian Negroes since the colonial period until their changes during the first decades of the twentieth century. After that a parallel was described between the composer's path and his musical production. At last one formal analysis was made of Lorenzo Fernandez's batuque and one performing and comparative analysis was made between our performance and two different others of this piece. The results of this research showed that the theoretical knowledges were applicable at the performance practice and the contribution for the greatest comprehension of music with afro-Brazilian influences; opening a new perspective for musical research besides making available useful material for teaching chamber music and orchestral music

Abstract:
The music of Jean Francaix is well known to those familiar with woodwind chamber literature. His long, successful career began in the 1930s when French composers rejected the excessively chromatic harmonies, intense emotionalism and grandiose proportions of late Romantic music. Embracing the concepts of neoclassicism, economy of means, clarity and objectivity, and a return to diatonicism and formal structures, the new "Classical" music contained the added spice of twentieth-century harmonic techniques including bitonality, modality, and quartal and quintal harmonies. Francaix has written many concertos and solos for woodwind instruments, but his enduring popularity resides in his chamber music for various combinations. His publisher for the last six decades has been B. Schott's Sohne who commissioned Francaix to write several chamber works in honor of his eightieth birthday. Two of his works for flute, Divertimento pour flute et piano and Suite pour flute seule, are known to professional flutists but not considered standards in the flute repertoire. The purpose of this paper is to call attention to the wide variety of Francaix's repertoire which is eminently suitable for concert and recital programming. The identification of formal and tonal elements in Francaix's two works for flute helps to place his prodigious output within the context of the prevailing musical and philosophical aesthetic in France of the 1920s through 1940s. An annotated list of Francaix's works with flute in a primary role is included as an appendix.

Abstract:
Thesis (MMus (Music))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.
Priaulx Rainier (1903-1986) was a South-African born composer whose highly original compositional style attracted great attention during her lifetime. She spent most of her life in England, but was inspired by the images and recollections of her youth in Africa. Despite the critical acclaim she received, little research has been done about her, both in South Africa and abroad. Additionally, the nature of existing sources is mostly not analytical, but rather provides an overview of her life or general aspects of her style. Although some conclusions have been drawn about her compositional style, they are not thoroughly substantiated by concrete analytical evidence. Also, the focus is mostly on her prominent rhythmic use (often linked by authors to the “African” element of her idiom), with an evident disregard of the other aspects of style, most notably with regard to pitch coherence. This research attempts to correct this unbalanced discourse by analysing one of her few solo piano works, the Barbaric Dance Suite (composed in 1949), and pointing out significant pitch relations, similarities and contrasts. The rationale for selecting this specific work originated from Rainier’s own pronouncement that “The Suite is a key to all my later music, for in the three DANCES, their structural embryo is, on a small scale, the basis for most of the later works.” Although the scope of the research did not allow for a comparative analysis, it is strongly believed that the conclusions reached in this study could also be applicable to many of Rainier’s other works, especially of the early period. The study consists of an introduction in which the Barbaric Dance Suite is contextualised, followed by the main body of the thesis that consists of a detailed analysis of each of the three movements. The foremost method of analysis used is set theory analysis, which could be briefly described as a method whereby (particularly atonal) music is segmented and categorised in pitch class sets. As set theory focuses exclusively on the dimension of pitch, traditional methods of analysis are employed to examine the other musical parameters. In the conclusion, the analytical results are contextualised with regard to existing pronouncements on Rainier’s oeuvre. The study also comments on the applicability of set theory as analytical system in Rainier’s music. The many complex pitch relations that were discovered by the intensive analysis of pitch content has given enough evidence to conclude that Rainier’s use of sonorities has been unjustly neglected in the discourse of this work and perhaps also in her musical style as a whole. It is hoped that further detailed analysis of her use of sonorities in other works could lead authorities to revise the insistent pronouncements on her rhythmic use in favour of a more balanced assessment of all aspects of her compositional style.

Abstract:
Claude Bolling’s Toot Suite for Trumpet and Jazz Piano that was premiered by French virtuoso trumpeter Maurice Andre in 1980 is an important work in the trumpet repertoire. At present, there is limited research regarding Toot Suite. Almost all of the six movements within Toot Suite are performed on a different instrument: C trumpet for Allegre, Eb trumpet for Mystique, Bb cornet for Rag-Polka, Bb piccolo trumpet for Marche, Bb flugelhorn for Vesperale and Bb piccolo for Spirituelle. Chapter 1 examines the life and musical background of the composer. It also exposes the history surrounding the origin of Toot Suite. Chapter 2 discusses the musical influences of the composer that are found in Toot Suite. Chapter 3 provides an analysis of existing studio recordings. Chapter 4 offers specific suggestions regarding preparation and performance of Toot Suite. Chapters 5 and 6 conclude the guide with interviews with the composer and prominent trumpet performers and pedagogues that have recorded and/or have performed Toot Suite live.

Analyzing the twelve-tone compositions of Shostakovich often requires the application of various analytical procedures. This study examines Shostakovich's Suite for Voice and Piano, Op. 143, focusing on the two twelve-tone songs in the Suite. While the songs exhibit some traditional treatment of twelve-tone rows, the study focuses on Shostakovich's unique manipulations and the integration of tonal elements and chromaticism. An innovative analytical tool developed by Dr. Stephen Brown (NAU) is utilized in the study, as it provides clarity and strengthens otherwise weak associations. Along with the application of Brown's dual interval space, the study includes twelve-tone analysis and traditional harmonic analysis to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the Suite.

Full text
Abstract:
Georgian composer, teacher, conductor, and musicologist Otar Taktakishvili (1924–1989) played a leading role in the revival of Georgian art music in the second half of the 20th century. Despite his multiple duties and close relationship with the USSR regime, Taktakishvili consistently wrote music based on Georgian traditional folk music, hence imprinting and preserving the national Georgian identity through his compositions. These nationalistic influences appear prominently in several of his piano suites and are ubiquitous in the Piano Suite written in 1973. In the Piano Suite (1973), Taktakishvili adapts and recreates the sonorities, registers, coloristic effects through textural layering and articulations, rhythmic patterns and performance practices of selected Georgian folk instruments at the piano. He creates a unified suite by evoking the sound characteristics of his national instruments. The Piano Suite is unique and likely the only suite in the piano literature based on the imitation of a group of folk instruments, and as such deserves a place in the scholarly literature on world piano music. An analysis of the pianistic resources used by Taktakishvili to imitate the unique musical qualities and performance practices of five popular Georgian folk instruments reveals a reliance on repetitive rhythmic figures, textural layering, imaginative articulation, and deft use of the registers of the piano. The composer also distinctively implements characteristic modes and harmonic language to evoke the flavor of Georgian folk music.

Full text
Abstract:
Granados’ Goyescas is a substantial six movement work for piano that was written between the years 1900 and 1914. Part I was published in Barcelona by Casa Dotesio in 1912, and Part II in 1914 by Unión Musical Espanola. What is not widely known is that around the same time, Granados composed twelve Tonadillas. These songs for voice and piano are closely related to the piano pieces, and were published by Casa Dotesio in 1913. The composer himself acknowledges the important relationship between the Tonadillas and Goyescas in the statement “. . . I wanted to create a collection that would serve me as a document for the Goyescas.” An analysis of similarities between the two works provides evidence for the fact that at least certain Tonadillas may have been composed before, or concurrently with the piano suite Goyescas, between the years 1900 and 1913. The current literature neglects the important connection between these works (Chapter 2); however, this study maintains that the Tonadillas are highly illuminating for performers, analysts and listeners of Goyescas, and are an important interpretive tool. Furthermore, Goyescas’ programmatic titles, use of folk tunes and other indications demand a narrative interpretation; this is only enlivened by study of the Tonadillas with their descriptive texts. Chapter 3 of this study will address the socio-political context that influenced Granados in his composition of Goyescas and the Tonadillas, with particular reference to Goya’s role and his Caprichos Nos. 5 and 10. A comparative study of the Tonadillas and Goyescas in Chapter 4 reveals important similarities which contribute to the narrative interpretation of Goyescas. A more rigorous analysis of Goyescas demonstrates formal variety and melodic coherence amongst the movements of the suite, further contributing to the narrative component (Chapter 5). Finally, in Chapter 6, a demonstration of the validity of the narrative interpretation in light of performance practice considerations will conclude this project. Goyescas is an invaluable work with an exciting narrative that becomes even more compelling when addressed in light of the Tonadillas for voice and piano.

Abstract:
Iberia, Albeniz' acknowledged masterpiece, was published during 1906-1909, the last three years of the composer's life. The suite, subtitled Twelve New Impressions, are picturesque, evocative descriptions of Spanish scenes and landscapes, although for the most part centered around Andalusia. Albeniz has made full use of the wealth of Spanish folk music in his compositional style, and the movements of Iberia represent a synthesis of the characteristic elements of Spanish folk music. These elements may be considered according to the following three main categories: (1) the rhythms of Spanish dance especially those belonging to the body of Andalusian folk music known as flamenco, (2) the characteristics of Spanish folk song, and (3) the guitar idiom. This study identifies and examines the numerous aspects of folk music employed in Iberia, and in several instances compares Albeniz' stylizations with quotations of authentic folk music. The purpose of this study is to afford the pianist who wishes to perform Iberia, a greater insight into the interpretive requirements of this masterpiece. It is also hoped that the interested musician will be led to a further exploration of the richness of Spanish folk music. This of course will allow an even fuller understanding and appreciation of Iberia.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Música
Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo a criação de uma performance que espelhe o cruzamento de duas culturas distintas: a espanhola e a chinesa. Através da Suite de Piano Goyescas, de Granados, concretizarei uma pesquisa que realizará o cruzamento destas duas culturas, tanto a nível histórico e social, como estético e musical. Sendo uma pianista de nacionalidade Chinesa, a estudar música em contexto europeu, tive a oportunidade de contactar com uma nova perspetiva da criação musical. Este facto, bem como o contacto mais direto com a cultura ocidental, e a espanhola em particular, revelaram-se para mim bastante importantes, constituindo-se objetos de investigação futura e que desejo muito espelhar na minha prática musical. Estes factos permitiram-me ainda desenvolver uma outra perspetiva sobre a obra de Granados, uma perspetiva que tem por base a minha leitura do seu trabalho. Para conseguir transmitir o seu pensamento e interesses musicais a um público que na grande maioria dos casos desconhece a sua obra e a cultura espanhola em particular, foi feito um estudo profundo da sua linguagem estética e musical. Do ponto de vista metodológico foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, diversas entrevistas a pianistas de diferentes países e uma análise da obra. Por outro lado, senti que era importante construir a minha interpretação de Goyescas. Para o facto, desenvolvi uma performance baseando-me na análise da sua linguagem musical, disponibilizando materiais de discussão a outros pianistas, chineses ou não, aquando de futuros estudos acerca desta temática. Foi ainda realizado um estudo aprofundado das técnicas de composição de Granados, procedendo-se ainda à análise do temperamento espanhol da obra e da sua relação com as pinturas de Goya. Acredito que o propósito deste trabalho não será apenas o de transmitir a música de Granados e as suas criações através da performance em palco, mas também o de encontrar um método que ajude pianistas da minha geração a compreender melhor a música deste compositor e, consequentemente, a tornar a música espanhola gradualmente mais reconhecida e presente nos reportórios de pianistas, nomeadamente os de nacionalidade chinesa.
This work aims to do cross-cultural research on the socio-historical, musical and performing aspects of Granados’ piano suite – Goyescas. As a Chinese pianist studying music in a European context, I was able to come into contact with a new perspective of music which I desire to study. At the same time, a distinct position in relation to Granados’ works was taken in the scope of my personal and psychological judgement of his works. In order to express Granados’ musical thoughts, as precisely as possible, to the Chinese audience, a deepened awareness of the musical language and musical imagination of Granados’ works was undergone. This work was supported by bibliographical research, interviews with pianists from different countries, and my personal performing experiences. I felt that it was important to include my personal interpretation, to discuss the playing experience provided to Chinese pianists for their future studies of this music, based on the analysis of Granados’ musical language. To accomplish this, his composing techniques, the Spanish temperament of Goyescas and its relation to Goya’s painting was also relevant to my study. It is my belief that the significant propose of this work is not only to transmit Granados’ music and his notions through performing on the stage for the audience, but also to find a method which helps pianists of my generation to better understand Granados’ music, and consequently, make Spanish piano music become gradually more recognized in the repertoires of Chinese pianists.

Abstract:
The term nationalism in music usually refers to a movement from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and is most often employed to describe the various European national schools that included folk elements in their music and consciously tried to separate themselves from the standards set in the Classical period by the French, Italian and especially the German traditionalists. In Latin America there was also a development of nationalism in music in the twentieth century. Countries from this continent, once politically independent, became interested in solidifying and glorifying their national identities. This essay will discuss the history and tradition of Venezuelan folk and academic music through the guitar compositions of Antonio Lauro, who was best known for his nationalistic trend to rescue and to celebrate the Venezuelan nation's musical traditions. I have also chosen eight waltzes and the Suite Venezolana for guitar by the same composer, which are both representative works of Venezuelan academic and folklore music, and I have created a piano transcription. Aiming a new inclusion and expansion of the stagnant Venezuelan piano repertoire, with my hope they become useful compositions for the pianists' personal study and aid.

Abstract:
Robert Muczynski (1929-2010), composer, pianist, and educator, is a noteworthy American musician from our time. His prowess as a pianist undoubtedly accounts for the striking number of pieces he wrote for the piano, namely, one concerto, preludes, sonatas, suites, a toccata, and variations. Out of a total of forty-eight pieces with opus numbers, seventeen are for solo piano. This document contains an overview of Muczynski's life as a composer and musician, with an emphasis on his solo piano compositions. The body of the document traces sources of Muczynski's compositional style, especially the influence of Alexander Tcherepnin, his composition teacher and mentor, and Sergei Prokofiev. An analysis of some of Muczynski's shorter piano solo pieces follows: Six Preludes, op. 6, Suite for Piano, op. 13, and Toccata, op. 15. This analysis demonstrates that Muczynski's short piano pieces often exhibit a persistent focus on one generative musical idea within each piece, usually consisting of unifying etude-like material. For variety and color, he relies on frequent changes of metric pulse, sudden accents, highly chromatic harmony and melody, and an extreme range of sound. These stylistic traits are consistent with those previously identified by other scholars in his larger piano compositions.

Abstract:
As the costs for mounting opera, ballet and orchestral concerts rise and as their audiences dwindle, piano transcriptions of works orchestrated for such concerts can be a viable way of disseminating the music more widely than if the music was presented only in its original form. With this in mind, it can be argued that piano transcriptions of music originally written for instrumental ensemble is still a viable form of musical expression, because the piano is still the most widely used medium for the performance of art music in the Western world. Transcriptions of instrumental and vocal music expand the listening audience for a composer's music while they also increase the repertoire of music for the piano for both amateurs and professionals. The CD recording has the aim of providing a reference on which to base an appreciation of Pletnev's work. As the orchestral score is quite well known, the differentiation created by Pletnev, and the quality of his work, can be immediately perceived by hearing the execution of his scores and being able to cross reference his reductions with the original score. Timing references for the piano score have been included to further facilitate this cross-referencing. This thesis comprises two parts: 1. A performance CD of Stravinsky's Petrouchka (1922 piano four-hand version) and Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty (1999 solo piano transcription by Mikhail Pletnev). This accounts for 75% of the thesis. 2. An exegesis, analysing selected portions of the orchestral score of Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty Op.66 and Pletnev's piano transcription suite, prefaced by an overview of piano transcriptions from Liszt to Pletnev. This accounts for 25% of the thesis. The exegesis argues that, while seeking to recreate the colour and drama of Tchaikovsky's orchestral score within the context of a virtuosic piano solo, Pletnev has managed to transcribe Tchaikovsky's score faithfully with minimal alterations.

Abstract:
Euphonium concertos and similar masterworks for euphonium have been recorded, written about, analyzed, and discussed at length numerous times in recent years. Unfortunately, the most frequently studied and performed euphonium solos have been almost completely ignored in this regard. These works are useful for performance by the undergraduate-level euphonium player. Solos in this category are played by strong high school players and undergraduate euphonium students all over the world. These solos receive countless performances and play a crucial role in the development of young euphonium players, yet have never received attention in the form of a published pedagogical guide. The pieces of greater difficulty and substantial length have received more attention for obvious reasons, but solo pieces most useful for the developing euphoniumist need to be analyzed and discussed on a pedagogical level. This paper is a pedagogical guide to commonly played euphonium solos by the undergraduate level student. The three pieces used in this study are Sonatina by Warner Hutchison, Sonata for Unaccompanied Euphonium by Fred Clinard, and Lyric Suite by Donald White. Pertinent background information about each piece is presented in order for the reader to understand the historical context in which it was written. A list of relevant information and minimum performance skills (instrumentation, length, range, articulation skills, etc.) are included for each selection. An analysis of particular sections of each piece are presented for the reader to adequately grasp concepts and practice ideas that are explained, although the bulk of analysis is of a pedagogical nature. The main body of the paper focuses on assisting the reader with ways to approach this solo literature in daily practice as well as effective performance ideas. Particularly troublesome areas of each piece are identified and strategies to overcome common pitfalls and performance errors are noted.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines Liszt's use of the style hongrois in his Swiss book of Années de pèlerinage to reference certain sentiments he had experienced. The event that brought Liszt to Switzerland is discussed in Chapter 1 in order to establish an understanding of the personal difficulties facing Liszt during the period when the Swiss book took shape. Based on Jonathan Bellman's research of the style hongrois, Chapter 2 examines the Swiss pieces that exhibit musical gestures characteristic of this style. Bellman also introduced a second, metaphoric meaning of the style hongrois, which is discussed in Chapter 3 along with Liszt's accounts from his book Des Bohémien as well as the literary quotations that are included in the Swiss book. Together, the biographical facts, the accounts from Des Bohémien, and the literary quotations show that Liszt was using the style hongrois to substantiate the autobiographical significance of the Swiss book.
