Kernan This work and its defense approved by: Committee Chair: bruce mcclung, PhD bruce mcclung, PhD 6/6/2010 796 The Percussion Group Cincinnati: A History of Collaboration between Ensemble and Composer A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Music History in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Thomas J. Kernan B.M. University of Missouri-Kansas City May 2005 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, Ph.D. ii Abstract The Percussion Group Cincinnati, an ensemble-in-residence at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music, celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2009. In its first three decades, this trio collaborated with at least fifty composers, several of whom have contributed multiple compositions. The more than seventy works composed expressly for the ensemble comprise the core of its performance repertoire. While the members have amassed a sizable body of chamber percussion compositions, their primary goal has remained the process of collaborating. Whereas comparator ensembles measure success by their number of recordings, performances at specific events, or notoriety among various communities, the Percussion Group Cincinnati can be best understood through a careful consideration of its interactions with composers.

We are proud to offer these seven programs in observance of American Music Week, and we are grateful to the many colleagues and collaborators who have worked with us over the past year in bringing all these concerts into being. A mutual devotion to fine music by living composers has inspired these efforts. Indeed, a number of the composers heard in this Festival are living among us here in Houston or elsewhere in Texas. We celebrate this fact and look to our own with special pride during this week. The myriad ways in which the music of these composers is woven into the rich fabric of Twentieth Century American writing will be apparent to our audiences. So will the endless links and family resemblances between these pieces and the unbroken tradition of European (and now Asian) music as well. We extend our gratitude too to the performers from beyond the Shepherd School who have joined us in these events.
