  • Daniel Levitan: an Examination of Select Unpitched Percussion Chamber Works
    Daniel Levitan: An Examination of Select Unpitched Percussion Chamber Works 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 Juan Mendoza III, B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2015 Document Committee: Dr. Susan Powell, Advisor Prof. Katherine Borst Jones Dr. Thomas Wells Copyright by Juan Mendoza III 2015 Abstract Daniel Levitan’s percussion works are performed by collegiate and professional percussion ensembles and soloists around the world. Several of his works have become standards of the repertoire for percussion chamber music, such as Conservatory Garden, Septet, and Marimba Quartet. Although Levitan’s percussion music is performed frequently, there is a lack of reference materials and information about his unpitched percussion chamber compositions. This document provides a brief discussion on six of Levitan’s most performed unpitched percussion chamber works: Trio, Variations on a Ghanaian Theme, Septet, Conservatory Garden, Canon at the Bar, and Eight Two-Part Inventions. General background information, a brief analysis of points of interest, and performance suggestions are provided for each of the composition. The purpose of this document is to serve as a reference for performers, educators, and composers seeking more information about Daniel Levitan and his unpitched percussion chamber works. ii Dedication To my nephews, D.J. and Damien iii Acknowledgments Sincere gratitude to Daniel Levitan for his time and patience as I completed this document. Your humility and love for music truly is inspiring. I wish to thank the members of my document committee, Dr.

  • New England Reveries CD Recording, Crystal Records CD691
    Program Notes to New England Reveries CD recording, Crystal Records CD691 Mark Nelson, Tuba; Sylvia Parker, Piano Program Fantasia Breve by Barton Cummings 11:49 tracks 1, 2, 3 Published by PRB Productions 963 Peralta Ave., Albany, CA 94706-2144. The following notes were supplied by the composer: It has been a desire of mine to have the time to concentrate on original composing and at the beginning of 1989, I plotted out a design whereby I could set aside time in large blocks that could be devoted to composing. Fantasia Breve is the third composition to be published in 1989. The other two are a set of pieces for solo tuba, now published, and a piece for younger band, also published. Both pieces led me to this current work by a somewhat circuitous route, yet a logical one in my mind. It is interesting to me that all three of the pieces, when once begun, flowed easily and completely and all three required little, if any, rewrite. Fantasia Breve is in three movements with the outer movements being fast and the middle movement, slow. A "fantasy" is not usually in any kind of strict form, although each movement is tied together, yet each movement could be placed independently of the others and make a complete piece, albeit short. That they proceed in a logical fashion is, I suppose, because during the time I worked on it, I worked only on it and with the thought that there would be three movements. I wanted to create, even in the slow movement, a virtuoso work that would contain intense rhythmic activity, harmonic diversity and a sense of drama.

  • No Fault” Sewer Backup Coverage from Main Street to the Mountains: Vermont’S Musical Landscape! Managing Town Social Media Platforms
    Vermont Municipal Highway Association Equipment Show & Field Day PACIF Difference #2: “No Fault” Sewer Backup Coverage From Main Street to the Mountains: Vermont’s Musical Landscape! Managing Town Social Media Platforms Serving and Strengthening Vermont Local Governments June 2018 From the Executive Director Diversity is a subject that many Vermonters and Vermont institutions have been discussing for years. It is a noteworthy, complex topic. When the conversation turns to what can be done to support diversity in our state, I hear many different opinions and recommendations about how to best address the issue. While traveling around the state and talking with VLCT member officials and municipal leaders, I have discovered that people want to know how we, as municipal governments, can support an increasingly diverse Vermont. What steps should we take to ensure that we treat everyone – our residents, our colleagues, and those who visit our communities – in a consistent, unbiased manner? To do that successfully, it is essential that we understand the concept of implicit bias. This is becoming an increasingly common term. The U.S. Department of Justice defines it well, referring to implicit bias as “the unconscious or subtle associations that individuals make between groups of people and stereotypes about those groups.” Without us being at all aware, these associations can significantly change our behavior and decision-making based on the person or people with whom we interact: we treat different people differently based on any number of variables – race, religion, gender, sexual identity, education level, and so on. If these influencers affect each of us on an unconscious level, what, then, can we do about it? And where do we, as individuals who interact daily with a wide range of people from our communities, see implicit bias at work? Fortunately, implicit bias is an area of active research for social scientists and those who examine the workings of the human brain.
