BACH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Zilei de Oliveira Leite, B.A. Denton, Texas May, 1995 5~79 //£/ APPLICATIONS OF REDUCTIVE ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES IN THE PHRYGIAN SETTINGS OF THE ORGELBUCHLEIN BY J. S. BACH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Zilei de Oliveira Leite, B.A. Denton, Texas May, 1995 Leite, Zilei de Oliveira, Applications of Reductive Analytical Techniques in the Phrygian Settings of the Orgelbiichlein by J. S. Bach. Master of Music, May, 1995, 116 pp., 110 illustrations, bibliography, 70 titles. This study aims to two problematic aspects of the Phrygian mode: a. the development of a harmonic pattern at the cadence that differs from that of the other modes and of the major and minor modes as well; b. the observation that the Phrygian scale inverts all of the intervallic properties of the Major scale. The result of these two observations is that when the reductive techniques of Heinrich Schenker are applied in the Phrygian repertory, melodic and harmonic properties are brought into conflict with each other. However, application of alternative models of the Ursatz developed by Lori Burns has certain benefits for demonstrating musical properties in the Phrygian repertory. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this thesis would have been impossible without my God-given health and mind. The professional skills and humanistic characteristics of my major professor and advisor, Dr. Graham Phipps, in the achievement of this thesis cannot be overestimated. On the one hand, his suggestions and opinions have always been of the highest level of professional enlightenment; his guidance has always been directed in a patient and understanding manner. On the other hand, his readiness to hear my own opinions has encouraged me and helped me build confidence in my scholastic development. I also would like to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Paul Dvorak and Dr. Jana Saslaw, who graciously gave me their valuable expert opinions and advice towards the completion of this study. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to a very special person in my life, who has been the main support to all my endeavors. Mary Zeline Winsett not only came to my rescue several times when I needed financial support but also has been a constant source of encouragement both moral and intellectual. Her devotion to me and my work has seen me through the toughest challenges. 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv TABLE OF CONTENTS v LIST OF FIGURES vii LIST OF TERMS xiii INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER ONE - PRELIMINARY REMARKS 13 Cadences with Two Voices 13 Cadences with Three Voices 14 Considerations about the Phrygian Scale IB Alternative Models for the Ursatze in the Phrygian Mode 24 CHAPTER TWO - ANALYSIS OF THE PHRYGIAN SETTINGS IN THE ORGELBUCHLEIN 32 Lob sei dem allmachtigen Gott (BWV 602) 33 Melodic Properties 33 A Closer Look at the Prelude Setting 37 Christum wir sollen loben schon (BWV 611) 43 Melodic Properties 43 A Closer Look at the Prelude Setting 47 Christus, der uns selig macht (BWV 620) 57 Melodic Properties 57 Further Melodic Aspects of this Melody 61 A Closer Look at the Prelude Setting 65 Da Jesus an dem Kreuze stund (BWV 621) 74 Melodic Properties 74 A Closer Look at the Prelude Setting 76 CHAPTER THREE - CONCLUSION 92 iv APPENDIX A - FOREGROUND OF EACH PHRYGIAN CHORALE COVERED IN THIS DOCUMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY 95 Lob sei dem allmachtigen Gott (BWV 602) 96 Christum wir sollen loben schon (BWV 611) 97 Christus, Der uns selig macht (BWV 620) 98 Da Jesus an dem Kreuze stund(BWV 621) 99 APPENDIX B - COMPLETE SCORES FOR THE PHRYGIAN SETTINGS COVERED IN THIS DOCUMENT 100 Lob sei dem allmachtigen Gott (BWV 602) 101 Christum wir sollen loben schon (BWV 611) 103 Christus, Der uns selig macht (BWV 620) 106 Da Jesus an dem Kreuze stund (BWV 621) 108 BIBLIOGRAPHY 110 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS Figure Page 1.

  • A Scientific Characterization of Trumpet Mouthpiece Forces in the Context of Pedagogical Brass Literature
    A SCIENTIFIC CHARACTERIZATION OF TRUMPET MOUTHPIECE FORCES IN THE CONTEXT OF PEDAGOGICAL BRASS LITERATURE James Ford III, B.M., M.M., M.M.E. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2007 APPROVED: Kris Chesky, Committee Chair Gene Cho, Minor Professor Leonard Candelaria, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Ford III, James, A Scientific Characterization of Trumpet Mouthpiece Forces in the Context of Pedagogical Brass Literature. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2007, 61 pp., 7 tables, 2 graphs, references, 52 titles. Embouchure dysfunctions, including those from acute injury to the obicularis oris muscle, represent potential and serious occupational health problems for trumpeters. Forces generated between the mouthpiece and lips, generally a result of how a trumpeter plays, are believed to be the origin for such problems. In response to insights gained from new technologies that are currently being used to measure mouthpiece forces, belief systems and teaching methodologies may need to change in order to resolve possible conflicting terminology, pedagogical instructions, and performance advice. As a basis for such change, the purpose of this study was to investigate, develop and propose an operational definition of mouthpiece forces applicable to trumpet pedagogy. The methodology for this study included an analysis of writings by selected brass pedagogues regarding mouthpiece force. Finding were extracted, compared, and contrasted with scientifically derived mouthpiece force concepts developed from scientific studies including one done at the UNT Texas Center for Music & Medicine.

  • Further Considerations of the Continuous ^5 with an Introduction and Explanation of Schenker's Five Interruption Models
    Further Considerations of the Continuous ^5 with an Introduction and Explanation of Schenker's Five Interruption Models By: Irna Priore ―Further Considerations about the Continuous ^5 with an Introduction and Explanation of Schenker’s Five Interruption Models.‖ Indiana Theory Review, Volume 25, Spring-Fall 2004 (spring 2007). Made available courtesy of Indiana University School of Music: http://www.music.indiana.edu/ *** Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document Article: Schenker’s works span about thirty years, from his early performance editions in the first decade of the twentieth century to Free Composition in 1935.1 Nevertheless, the focus of modern scholarship has most often been on the ideas contained in this last work. Although Free Composition is indeed a monumental accomplishment, Schenker's early ideas are insightful and merit further study. Not everything in these early essays was incorporated into Free Composition and some ideas that appear in their final form in Free Composition can be traced back to his previous writings. This is the case with the discussion of interruption, a term coined only in Free Composition. After the idea of the chord of nature and its unfolding, interruption is probably the most important concept in Free Composition. In this work Schenker studied the implications of melodic descent, referring to the momentary pause of this descent prior to the achievement of tonal closure as interruption. In his earlier works he focused more on the continuity of the line itself rather than its tonal closure, and used the notion of melodic line or melodic continuity to address long-range connections.

  • Singing the Prostopinije Samohlasen Tones in English: a Tutorial
    Singing the Prostopinije Samohlasen Tones in English: A Tutorial Metropolitan Cantor Institute Byzantine Catholic Metropolia of Pittsburgh 2006 The Prostopinije Samohlasen Melodies in English For many years, congregational singing at Vespers, Matins and the Divine Liturgy has been an important element in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches of Southwestern Ukraine and the Carpathian mountain region. These notes describes one of the sets of melodies used in this singing, and how it is adapted for use in English- language parishes of the Byzantine Catholic Church in the United States. I. Responsorial Psalmody In the liturgy of the Byzantine Rite, certain psalms are sung “straight through” – that is, the verses of the psalm(s) are sung in sequence, with each psalm or group of psalms followed by a doxology (“Glory to the Father, and to the Son…”). For these psalms, the prostopinije chant uses simple recitative melodies called psalm tones. These melodies are easily applied to any text, allowing the congregation to sing the psalms from books containing only the psalm texts themselves. At certain points in the services, psalms or parts of psalms are sung with a response after each verse. These responses add variety to the service, provide a Christian “pointing” to the psalms, and allow those parts of the service to be adapted to the particular hour, day or feast being celebrated. The responses can be either fixed (one refrain used for all verses) or variable (changing from one verse to the next). Psalms with Fixed Responses An example of a psalm with a fixed response is the singing of Psalm 134 at Matins (a portion of the hymn called the Polyeleos): V.

  • Rachmaninoff's Early Piano Works and the Traces of Chopin's Influence
    Rachmaninoff’s Early Piano works and the Traces of Chopin’s Influence: The Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 & The Moments Musicaux, Op.16 A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Division of Keyboard Studies of the College-Conservatory of Music by Sanghie Lee P.D., Indiana University, 2011 B.M., M.M., Yonsei University, Korea, 2007 Committee Chair: Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract This document examines two of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s early piano works, Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 (1892) and Moments Musicaux, Opus 16 (1896), as they relate to the piano works of Frédéric Chopin. The five short pieces that comprise Morceaux de Fantaisie and the six Moments Musicaux are reminiscent of many of Chopin’s piano works; even as the sets broadly build on his character genres such as the nocturne, barcarolle, etude, prelude, waltz, and berceuse, they also frequently are modeled on or reference specific Chopin pieces. This document identifies how Rachmaninoff’s sets specifically and generally show the influence of Chopin’s style and works, while exploring how Rachmaninoff used Chopin’s models to create and present his unique compositional identity. Through this investigation, performers can better understand Chopin’s influence on Rachmaninoff’s piano works, and therefore improve their interpretations of his music. ii Copyright © 2018 by Sanghie Lee All rights reserved iii Acknowledgements I cannot express my heartfelt gratitude enough to my dear teacher James Tocco, who gave me devoted guidance and inspirational teaching for years.

  • Conductus and Modal Rhythm
    Conductus and Modal Rhythm BY ERNEST H. SANDERS T HAS BEEN MORE THAN EIGHTY YEARS since Friedrich Ludwig (1872-193o), arguably the greatest of the seminal figures in twenti- eth-century musicology, began to publish his studies of medieval music. His single-handed occupation of the field, his absolute sover- eignty over the entire repertoire and all issues of scholarly significance arising from it, and his enormous, inescapably determinative influ- ence on the thinking of his successors, most of whom had studied with him, explain the epithet der Grossehe was given on at least one occasion.' Almost his entire professional energies were devoted to the music of the twelfth and, particularly, the thirteenth centuries, as well as to the polyphony of the fourteenth century, which he began to explore in depth in the 1920s. His stringent devotion to the facts and to conclusions supported by them was a trait singled out by several commentators.2 Ludwig's insistence on scholarly rigor, however, cannot be said to account completely for his Modaltheorie,which appeared to posit the applicability of modal rhythm to all music of the Notre Dame period-except organal style-and of the pre-Garlandian (or pre- Franconian) thirteenth century, including particularly the musical settings of poetry. Much of the pre-Garlandian ligature notation in thirteenth-century sources of melismatic polyphonic compositions of the first half of that century (clausulae, organa for more than two voices) and of melismatic portions of certain genres, such as the caudae of conducti,3 signifies modal rhythms, and the appropriatenessof the modal system cannot be disputed in this context.

  • Part 3- a Sequential Approach to Etudes
    Part Three: A Sequential Approach to Etudes by Robert Jesselson The first two parts of this series discussed the benefits of employing an organized and sequential approach for teaching the intermediate string player. With this method the string teacher can create a solid technical and musical foundation for the student, and avoid skipping over important information that will be required for his/her future growth. Part One explored the complex set of skills, knowledge and experiences that a developing string player needs to acquire in order to become a competent musician and creative artist. Part Two of this series discussed the use of organized exercises to address specific aspects of the technique. These exercises, along with the ubiquitous scales and arpeggios that musicians need to master, are the basic building blocks of technique. Etudes then expand on the micro-technique of the exercises. They begin to put the technical pieces together into musical shapes, and should be approached both technically and musically. The current article will explore the importance of providing a good sequence of etudes in order to solidify the technique and facilitate the learning of literature. The repertoire of cello etudes is large and varied, with many excellent studies from which to choose. Besides Duport, Dotzauer, Lee, Popper, Franchomme, Piatti, and Servais, we have etudes by Gruetzmacher, Kummer, Klengel, Merk as well as contemporary etudes by Minsky and others. There are also collections of etudes compiled by pedagogues such as Alwin Schroeder. Although I use individual etudes by all of these composers to address specific issues, I prefer to use a succession of complete etude books in order to immerse the students in a specific technical and stylistic approach by one composer at a time.

  • Hymnody of Eastern Pennsylvania German Mennonite Communities: Notenbüchlein (Manuscript Songbooks) from 1780 to 1835
    HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 by Suzanne E. Gross Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1994 Advisory Committee: Professor Howard Serwer, Chairman/Advisor Professor Carol Robertson Professor Richard Wexler Professor Laura Youens Professor Hasia Diner ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 Suzanne E. Gross, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Howard Serwer, Professor of Music, Musicology Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland As part of an effort to maintain their German culture, the late eighteenth-century Mennonites of Eastern Pennsylvania instituted hymn-singing instruction in the elementary community schoolhouse curriculum. Beginning in 1780 (or perhaps earlier), much of the hymn-tune repertoire, previously an oral tradition, was recorded in musical notation in manuscript songbooks (Notenbüchlein) compiled by local schoolmasters in Mennonite communities north of Philadelphia. The practice of giving manuscript songbooks to diligent singing students continued until 1835 or later. These manuscript songbooks are the only extant clue to the hymn repertoire and performance practice of these Mennonite communities at the turn of the nineteenth century. By identifying the tunes that recur most frequently, one can determine the core repertoire of the Franconia Mennonites at this time, a repertoire that, on balance, is strongly pietistic in nature. Musically, the Notenbüchlein document the shift that occured when these Mennonite communities incorporated written transmission into their oral tradition.
