  • The Recently Rediscovered Works of Heinrich Baermann by Madelyn Moore Submitted to the Graduate Degree Program in Music And
    The Recently Rediscovered Works of Heinrich Baermann By Madelyn Moore Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Eric Stomberg ________________________________ Dr. Robert Walzel ________________________________ Dr. Paul Popiel ________________________________ Dr. David Alan Street ________________________________ Dr. Marylee Southard Date Defended: April 1, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Madelyn Moore certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Recently Rediscovered Works of Heinrich Baermann ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Eric Stomberg Date approved: April 22, 2014 ii Abstract While Heinrich Baermann was one of the most famous virtuosi of the first half of the nineteenth century and is one of the most revered clarinetists of all time, it is not well known that Baermann often performed works of his own composition. He composed nearly 40 pieces of varied instrumentation, most of which, unfortunately, were either never published or are long out of print. Baermann’s style of playing has influenced virtually all clarinetists since his life, and his virtuosity inspired many composers. Indeed, Carl Maria von Weber wrote two concerti, a concertino, a set of theme and variations, and a quintet all for Baermann. This document explores Baermann’s relationships with Weber and other composers, and the influence that he had on performance practice. Furthermore, this paper discusses three of Baermann’s compositions, critical editions of which were made during the process of this research. The ultimate goal of this project is to expand our collective knowledge of Heinrich Baermann and the influence that he had on performance practice by examining his life and three of the works that he wrote for himself.

  • The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.

  • Mcallister Interview Transcription
    Interview with Timothy McAllister: Gershwin, Adams, and the Orchestral Saxophone with Lisa Keeney Extended Interview In September 2016, the University of Michigan’s University Symphony Orchestra (USO) performed a concert program with the works of two major American composers: John Adams and George Gershwin. The USO premiered both the new edition of Concerto in F and the Unabridged Edition of An American in Paris created by the UM Gershwin Initiative. This program also featured Adams’ The Chairman Dances and his Saxophone Concerto with soloist Timothy McAllister, for whom the concerto was written. This interview took place in August 2016 as a promotion for the concert and was published on the Gershwin Initiative’s YouTube channel with the help of Novus New Music, Inc. The following is a full transcription of the extended interview, now available on the Gershwin channel on YouTube. Dr. Timothy McAllister is the professor of saxophone at the University of Michigan. In addition to being the featured soloist of John Adams’ Saxophone Concerto, he has been a frequent guest with ensembles such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Lisa Keeney is a saxophonist and researcher; an alumna of the University of Michigan, she works as an editing assistant for the UM Gershwin Initiative and also independently researches Gershwin’s relationship with the saxophone. ORCHESTRAL SAXOPHONE LK: Let’s begin with a general question: what is the orchestral saxophone, and why is it considered an anomaly or specialty instrument in orchestral music? TM: It’s such a complicated past that we have with the saxophone.

  • The Publication History of Spohr's Clarinet Concertos
    THE PUBLICATION HISTORY OF SPOHR'S CLARINET CONCERTOS by Keith Warsop N DISCUSSING the editions used for the recording by French clarinettist paul Meyer of Spohr's four concertos for the instrument on the Alpha label (released as a two-CD set, ALPHA 605, with the orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne), reviewers in the November 2012 issues of the Gramophone and,Internotional Record Review magazines came to some slightly misleading conclusions about this subject so that it has become important to clarify matters. Carl Rosman, writing in 1RR, ,authentic, said: "Meyer has also taken steps towards a more text fbr these concertos. While the clarinet works of Mozart, Brahms and Weber have seen various Urtext editions over the years, Spohr's concertos circulate only in piano reductions from the late nineteenth century ... Meyer has prepared his own editions from the best available sources (the manuscripts of all but No.4 have been lost but there are contemporary manuscript copies of the others held at the Louis Spohr Society in Kassel); this has certainly giu., him lreater freedom in the area of articulation, and also allowed him to adopt some more-flowing temios than the late nineteenth-century editions specify.', In the Gramophone, Nalen Anthoni stated: "Hermstedt demanded exclusive rights and, presumably, kept the autographs. Only that of No.4 was found, in 1960. The other works have been put together from manuscript copies. Paul Meyer seems largely attuned to the solo parts edited by stanley Drucker, the one-time principal ciarinettist of the New york philharmonic. Michael Collins [on the Hyperion label] is of similar mind, though both musicians add their own individual touches phrasing to and articulation.

  • Ernest Elliott
    THE RECORDINGS OF ERNEST ELLIOTT An Annotated Tentative Name - Discography ELLIOTT, ‘Sticky’ Ernest: Born Booneville, Missouri, February 1893. Worked with Hank Duncan´s Band in Detroit (1919), moved to New York, worked with Johnny Dunn (1921), etc. Various recordings in the 1920s, including two sessions with Bessie Smith. With Cliff Jackson´s Trio at the Cabin Club, Astoria, New York (1940), with Sammy Stewart´s Band at Joyce´s Manor, New York (1944), in Willie ‘The Lion’ Smith´s Band (1947). Has retired from music, but continues to live in New York.” (J. Chilton, Who´s Who of Jazz) STYLISTICS Ernest Elliott seems to be a relict out of archaic jazz times. But he did not spend these early years in New Orleans or touring the South, but he became known playing in Detroit, changing over to New York in the very early 1920s. Thus, his stylistic background is completely different from all those New Orleans players, and has to be estimated in a different way. Bushell in his book “Jazz from the Beginning” says about him: “Those guys had a style of clarinet playing that´s been forgotten. Ernest Elliott had it, Jimmy O´Bryant had it, and Johnny Dodds had it.” TONE Elliott owns a strong, rather sharp, tone on the clarinet. There are instances where I feel tempted to hear Bechet-like qualities in his playing, probably mainly because of the tone. This quality might have caused Clarence Williams to use Elliott when Bechet was not available? He does not hit his notes head-on, but he approaches them with a fast upward slur or smear, and even finishes them mostly with a little downward slur/smear, making his notes to sound sour.
