SUZANNE KREITER/GLOBE STAFF David Hoose believes that, on its face, choral music can be difficult to love. It’s an unexpected sentiment from the conductor of Cantata Singers, one of the city’s most treasured ensembles, but Hoose has his reasons: The sound of a chorus doesn’t https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/02/18/arts/conductor-david-hoose-turns-toward-next-movement/ 1/10 2/18/2021 , Conductor David Hoose turns toward the next movement - The Boston Globe have as much coloristic glamour or layered complexity as the sound of an orchestra; at a choral concert, there is nothing to watch — no bows dancing in unison or percussion vividly struck; there are none of the dramatic plots or the costumes found in opera; and in many choral works, you can’t even understand the words well enough to appreciate the subtlety of their relationship to the music. He’s not wrong in any of these observations. And yet despite them all, Hoose himself, over the course of 38 seasons at the helm of Cantata Singers, has made the most persuasive case imaginable for choral music belonging not at the periphery but near the very center of a city’s musical identity.

  • Diasporic P'ungmul in the United States
    Diasporic P’ungmul in the United States: A Journey between Korea and the United States DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Soo-Jin Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Professor Udo Will, Advisor Associate Professor Chan E. Park Assistant Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright by Soo-Jin Kim 2011 Abstract This study contributes to understanding diaspora and its music cultures by examining the Korean genre of p’ungmul as a particular site of continuous and dynamic cultural socio-political exchange between the homeland and the host society. As practiced in Los Angeles and New York City, this genre of percussion music and dance is shaped by Korean cultural politics, intellectual ideologies and institutions as p’ungmul practitioners in the United States seek performance aesthetics that fit into new performance contexts. This project first describes these contexts by tracing the history of Korean emigration to the United States and identifying the characteristics of immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York City. While the p’ungmul troupes developed by Korean political refugees, who arrived during the 1980s, show the influence of the minjung cultural movement in Korea, cultural politics of the Korean government also played an important role in stimulating Korean American performers to learn traditional Korean performing arts by sending troupes to the United States. The dissertation then analyzes the various methods by which p’ungmul is transmitted in the United States, including the different methods of teaching and learning p’ungmul—writing verbalizations of instrumental sounds on paper, score, CD/DVD, and audio/video files found on the internet—and the cognitive consequences of those methods.

  • The Pivotal Role of Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time in The
    KEEN HOCK, RENA CATHERINE, D.M.A. The Pivotal Role of Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time in the Establishment of the Clarinet-Piano Quartet Genre. (2012) Directed by Dr. Kelly J. Burke. 109 pp. Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time played a pivotal role in the development of the clarinet-piano quartet genre. Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time and the subsequent rise of the clarinet-piano quartet genre exemplify a modernist shift in genre identity in twentieth century chamber music. Contributing factors to this identity include the success of professional quartets in performing, promoting, and expanding the repertoire, the quality of work within the genre, and the ability of ensembles who promote this genre to sustain themselves in a changing socioeconomic environment. In this study I examine the different factors of genre identity that relate to the clarinet-piano quartet. These factors include: the problem of genre identity in the twentieth century; a historical account of the development of the clarinet-piano quartet genre from the first performance of Quartet for the End of Time through the work of current professional ensembles; the quality of literature for this genre, represented by the analysis of Toru Takemitsu’s Quatrain (1978) and Paul Moravec’s Tempest Fantasy (2002); and how this new genre meets the social and economic demands of the current information age. The appendices provided with this study are reference tools designed to help musicians discover works within this genre, and to collect the available literature in one location. They include an annotated list of influential or most recently published quartets, a complete list of all clarinet-piano quartets arranged by composition date, and a list of commissioned quartets organized by their commissioning ensemble.
