  • 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.

  • Student Concerto Winner's Concert
    Conductor Nobuyoshi Yasuda, a native of Takarazuka, Japan, began his musical studies on the violin at the age of three. He holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Soai University in Japan and a Master of Music degree from Indiana University, Bloomington. Mr. Yasuda has been an active violin soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States and Japan. His interest in conducting was sparked by his desire to find new ways to share his passion for music with people. Mr. Yasuda was appointed as Orchestra Director at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 1991, Music Director of the Chippewa Valley Symphony in 1993, and Associate Conductor of the Grand Teton Music Festival in 1999. His performance of Milhaud's Création du monde at the festival was broadcast on National Public Radio, Performance Today in July 2001. He guest conducted the Muncie Symphony Orchestra, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. With the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, he has participated in the educational outreach project, "Arts across Minnesota" granted by the Minnesota State Arts Board, to have residency in a high school; he led 'side by side rehearsal' and gave a concert. Mr. Yasuda made his international conducting debut in Germany with Das Philharmonie Orchester des NDR-Hannover in May, 2003. And in March 2004, he made his Japanese debut with the Osaka Philharmonic. The University Symphony Orchestra is a sixty member student ensemble performing the symphonic repertoire of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Under the direction of Nobuyoshi Yasuda, the ensemble presents an on-campus concert each semester, performs annually in a tour to high schools in Wisconsin and Minnesota, performs with the Symphonic Choir, accompanies one fully-staged opera or musical play each year, and each spring is one of the featured ensembles at UW-Eau Claire’s nationally-acclaimed Student Concerto Viennese Ball.

  • AND INTRODUCTION This Curriculum Guide Is Designed To
    WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION This Curriculum Guide is designed to prepare, reinforce, and extend learning concepts and ideas from the MPR Class Notes video Finding the Right Instrument for You: The Woodwind Family. The information and activities in the Guide are intended to make music come alive and to align with Minnesota Standards in Music Education. We hope you will personalize, modify, or adjust content to meet the needs of your unique classroom. This is one of four Class Notes videos covering the instrument families of the orchestra. The other three can be found here: http://www.classicalmpr.org/topic/class-notes-videos PREPARING TO WATCH THE VIDEO Just as literacy teachers use pre-reading strategies, music teachers can use pre-listening and pre-watching strategies. This helps students create a mental framework in which to organize new ideas, relate new content to prior knowledge, and make connections. What you bring to a listening experience will affect what you hear and take away from that experience. 1. Check to ensure student understanding of the idea of adjectives. Preview a couple of key vocabulary words that will be included in the woodwinds video, such as bird-like, pure, piercing, and consoling. 2. If these are new vocabulary for the students, spend a little time on definitions and usage. 3. Use adjectives to describe the sound of individual instruments. Connect with language arts teachers to incorporate and reinforce content from literacy units. Create a chart to structure and organize this activity. Use this as an opportunity to introduce unfamiliar instruments. Select instruments for the chart to suit your own needs.

  • Aaron Goldman: NSO Flutist with a Flair for Teaching
    December 2018 Aaron Goldman: NSO Flutist with a Flair for Teaching Interview by Alice Kogan Weinreb aron Goldman and I have been colleagues in the National Symphony AOrchestra since 2006, when Aaron became assistant principal flute. (I have played second flute with the NSO since 1979 and Aaron has been princi- pal since 2013.) We met in my home in the Virginia suburbs to talk about his career over coffee and biscotti. ALICE KOGAN WEINREB: Let’s begin with your early years. What attracted you to the flute? AARON GOLDMAN: I actually don’t remember! But I started playing at age six, studying privately with Ellen Bender, then a teacher at the local high school [in Needham, MA]. I had wanted to start younger, but my arms weren’t long enough to hold the flute. At my first lesson, I was dismayed to only be given the head joint to practice. Due to my early start, I was usually more advanced than my school classmates, and I think some of my motivation early on was because of the extra attention I received at being the “good” one in the section. During my high school years, I studied with Jackie DeVoe. AKW: Did you play in any groups? AG: I started out playing in ensembles through the New England Conservatory Prep division. Then, my junior and senior years, I played in the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra out of Boston University. The Photo: Steven Wilson conductor didn’t think I was all that good at the time and tried to kick me out of the group.
