    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfîlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the Him along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    812 S S A Henk Badings (1907–1987) Trio für zwei Sopran- und eine Altblockflöte for two soprano recorders and one alto recorder Vorwort/Spielanweisungen Das im Jahr 1955 entstandene Trio dieses Heftes ist sowohl für 3 Blockflöten (SSA) als auch für Blockflötenorchester geeignet. Mit wechselnder Besetzung in hohem und tiefen Register sowie Solo- und Tutti-Einsätzen lassen sich aparte dynamische Wir- kungen erzielen. Im 3. Satz empfiehlt es sich außerdem, ein Sopranino hinzuzuziehen. Vorschlag für die Besetzung im Blockflötenorchester: hohes Register Instrument Spieler Sopran 3 Sopran 5 Alt, im 3. Satz ein Sopranino 6 tiefes Register Tenor 1-2 Tenor 2-3 Bass 3 Für die Bassblockflöte liegt eine eigene Stimme bei. Preface/playing instructions The trio in this edition was written in 1955. It can be performed on 3 recorders (SSA) and is also suitable for recorder orchestra. With the changes of high and low registers and the solo and tutti parts special dynamic effects can be achieved. In the third movement it is recommended to use a sopranino. Suggestion for the distribution of parts in a recorder orchestra: high register instrument player soprano 3 soprano 5 treble, in 3rd movement sopranino 6 low register tenor 1-2 tenor 2-3 bass 3 An extra part has been included for the bass recorder. Préface/Consignes d’interprétation Le trio contenu dans ce cahier a été composé en 1955 et se prête aussi bien à une interprétation par trois flûtes à bec (SSA) que par un orchestre de flûtes à bec.

  • Abstracts & Program Notes
    ABSTRACTS & PROGRAM NOTES Admiral, Roger see Tardif, Guillaume (Hubert Léonard and The Belgian School of Violin Playing) Alexander, Justin Performance: A Confluence of Cultures in Flute and Percussion Music This flute and percussion program addresses the conference call for diversity by comprising works from three different continents. All three works are similarly contemporary in form and composition date, yet each draw from age old traditions in which the composer was enculturated or acculturated. More specifically, the program encompasses an amalgamation of the Western classical genre with the indigenous musics of Colombia, Egypt, and India. The program begins with a short selection called Pa’ Chicho, for flute and maracas. It is a recently composed work by Colombian composer Walter Menesses, in the folk music style of a pasillo. This form, particularly popular in Ecuador and Colombia in the 19th century, is still popular today, especially in Popayán, where the composer is based. Premiered in 1995, the second work is by Egyptian composer Halim El-Dahb, who passed away in 2017. Big Tooth Aspen for flute and darbucca is a three-movement work based on life, death and resurrection in each respective movement titled “Twigs,” “Droopy Flowers,” and “Hairy Seeds in the Wind.” Additionally, the flute uses many extended techniques throughout the piece, including pitch bending, multiphonics, and singing while playing. The final selection titled Devil Dance, also for flute and darbucca, is by Peyton MacDonald. This work, and many others by this American composer, is based on Hindustani themes from his extensive training in the East Indian tabla tradition. The work also features multiphonics by the flutist through simultaneous singing and playing.

  • The Late Choral Works of Ton De Leeuw: an Analytical Study
    THE LATE CHORAL WORKS OF TON DE LEEUW AN ANALYTICAL STUDY by RENS TIENSTRA A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Ton de Leeuw (1926–1996) is widely regarded as one of the most important post-war Dutch composers. Taught among others by Olivier Messiaen and Jaap Kunst, and strongly influenced by non-Western music, De Leeuw was a teacher at the University of Amsterdam and professor of composition and electronic music at the Amsterdam Conservatory from 1959 to 1986, a position in which he educated many Dutch composers active today. His book Music of the Twentieth Century, first published in 1964, is still regarded as an authoritative work. Despite De Leeuw’s formidable reputation as composer and teacher, and the regular performance of his works, hardly any scholarly research into his oeuvre has yet been undertaken. The current study is an attempt to change this, exploring five of De Leeuw’s later choral compositions as representative of the style he described in terms of ‘extended modality’.

Together, the contributions cover a broad spectrum of subjects and approaches and offer something for everyone. Gus Dierick’s thoughtful essay on Simon Vestdijk’s thinking on music, Some thoughts on Simon Vestdijks’s Essay ‘Muziek is mooi omdat zij mooi is’, will delight anyone interested in the history of music appreciation. It provides a rare glimpse into a lesser-known aspect of the work of one of the most important Dutch literary figures of the 20th century. Jac Geurts’ article Clash of characters: Theodore Roosevelt’s encounter with Queen Wilhelmina (1910) describes conflicting accounts of the meeting between Dutch Queen Wilhelmina and former U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt in the spring of 1910. The meeting is described in the context of Roosevelt’s European tour in the year after his resignation and against the political, cultural and personal differences between the protagonists, providing the reader with an understanding of the complexity of the event.

    Biografie bulletin. Jaargang 18 bron Biografie bulletin. Jaargang 18. Werkgroep Biografie, Amsterdam 2008 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_bio001200801_01/colofon.php © 2018 dbnl 3 [Biografie Bulletin, voorjaar 2008] Woord vooraf De Duitse socioloog Ulrich Beck stelt dat wij, dankzij de twintigste-eeuwse massademocratiseringen en het wegvallen van traditionele klassen en standen, zelf verantwoordelijk zijn voor het bepalen van onze identiteit. Als dat waar is, maakt dat het biografisch onderzoek dubbel zo interessant. Aan de hand van biografieën kun je dan immers nagaan hoe individuen in deze klasseloze tijd hun levens op eigen kracht hebben vormgegeven. Dat althans is de mening van een van Becks collega's: Werner Fuchs-Heinritz, die in dit Bulletin aan het woord komt. Het thema van dit nummer richt zich echter op een fenomeen dat eeuwenlang de levens van grote aantallen mensen heeft bepaald: het christelijk geloof. Jeroen Koch vertelt hoe het is om met een rooms-katholieke achtergrond over leven en werk van een gereformeerde aartsvader te schrijven. Albert van der Zeijden vraagt zich af of je zelf gelovig moet zijn om over de levens van heiligen te schrijven en Adriaan Soeting gaat in op leven en werk van C.F. Baur, de Duitse theoloog die denken en doen van talloze negentiende-eeuwse Nederlandse protestantse predikanten heeft beïnvloed. Yme Kuiper pleit voor een biografie van godsdienstwetenschapper en dichter Theo van Baaren en Joke Linders vertelt in ‘Dagboek van een biograaf’ over haar reis in het voetspoor van haar tante, ooit missiezuster in Oeganda. Verder is er in dit nummer aandacht voor biografieën van mensen die hun levens door hun beroep hebben laten bepalen, zoals psychologen, kunstverzamelaars, politici en vorsten.
