B. White memorably called F“the city of final destination, the city that is a goal.” It 2008–2009 was the immigrants to the city, White said, who accounted for NY’s “high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its Board of Directors dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements.”* Nancy Toff, President Yet proud as we are of the level of flute playing in our city, David Wechsler, First Vice President most of us do not think of NY as a magnet for instrument Ardith Bondi, Second Vice President makers. Since the early 20th century, Boston has been the Jeanne Wilson, Recording Secretary From the mecca of professional-grade flutemaking in this country, and Keith Bonner, Membership Secretary James N.

But in the 19th century, as Peter Bloom’s Susan Friedlander Karla Moe November concert will demonstrate, NY was a major center of Svjetlana Kabalin Fred Marcusa American flute making as well as of concert life. Nneka Landrum Seth Rosenthal We know that the flute was played in NY from colonial days, first by amateurs, Susan Lurie Rie Schmidt and by the mid-17th century by professionals as well. By 1800, some fifty musicians Stefani Starin in NY were able to eke out a living through some combination of teaching, selling Advisory Board music, and playing in theater orchestras and subscription concerts. An increasing Jeanne Baxtresser Marya Martin number emigrated from Europe; some time after 1830, Philip Ernst, for example, left Harold Jones Michael Parloff Germany to settle in NY, where he was one of the first flutists to adopt the Boehm Robert Langevin Jayn Rosenfeld system. The French flutist Louis Drouet met Ernst during a concert tour to NY in Gerardo Levy 1854, and the next year dedicated a set of etudes to him.

    THE COMMISSIONED FLUTE CHOIR PIECES PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE FLUTE CHOIRS AND NFA SPONSORED FLUTE CHOIRS AT NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTIONS WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLUTE CHOIR AND ITS REPERTOIRE DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yoon Hee Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Karen Pierson Copyright by Yoon Hee Kim 2013 Abstract The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition, Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School, and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions. Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor, performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire, as well as a history of NFA-sponsored flute choir (1973–2012) will be included in this document.

  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.
