  • Broken-Continuity in Saariaho's Terra Memoria
    Trabzon University State Conservatory © 2017-2020 Volume 4 Issue 2 December 2020 Research Article Musicologist 2020. 4 (2): 227-247 DOI: 10.33906/musicologist.775821 KHENG K. KOAY National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan [email protected] orcid.org/ 0000-0001-7941-6559 Broken-Continuity in Saariaho’s Terra Memoria ABSTRACT Terra Memoria is a musical piece that explores timbre, dynamic and KEYWORDS texture, creating an unconventional formal design. Although discontinuity and interruption are experimented with to create a sense Kaija Saariaho of unexpected development in the music’s progress, there are various Terra Memoria means by which Saariaho unifies the composition. Throughout the piece, she explores different musical styles, new musical expressions, and 21st century music compositional techniques in her own unique way. The music shows threads of stylistic connection to conventional music of the past centuries, minimalist-like repetition, and electronic music. Vocal and operatic writing styles are also experimented with. The composition demonstrates Saariaho’s challenge to traditional notions of form, giving her her own music vocabulary. Received: July 30, 2020; Accepted: December 04, 2020 227 Kaija Saariaho (b. 1952) is a Finnish composer, whose compositions contain a very distinctive musical language and personal voice. Throughout the wide range of her output, she has had ways of organizing, building, and expressing her musical thoughts, carefully designing her music to achieve communication with her listeners. Saariaho’s music is approachable, yet rooted in a modernistic tradition. Her interesting ideas and fundamental desire for musical design and unique voice can be heard in Terra Memoria (2009) for string orchestra.

  • Echoes of the Avant-Garde in American Minimalist Opera
    ECHOES OF THE AVANT-GARDE IN AMERICAN MINIMALIST OPERA Ryan Scott Ebright A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Mark Katz Tim Carter Brigid Cohen Annegret Fauser Philip Rupprecht © 2014 Ryan Scott Ebright ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ryan Scott Ebright: Echoes of the Avant-garde in American Minimalist Opera (Under the direction of Mark Katz) The closing decades of the twentieth century witnessed a resurgence of American opera, led in large part by the popular and critical success of minimalism. Based on repetitive musical structures, minimalism emerged out of the fervid artistic intermingling of mid twentieth- century American avant-garde communities, where music, film, dance, theater, technology, and the visual arts converged. Within opera, minimalism has been transformational, bringing a new, accessible musical language and an avant-garde aesthetic of experimentation and politicization. Thus, minimalism’s influence invites a reappraisal of how opera has been and continues to be defined and experienced at the turn of the twenty-first century. “Echoes of the Avant-garde in American Minimalist Opera” offers a critical history of this subgenre through case studies of Philip Glass’s Satyagraha (1980), Steve Reich’s The Cave (1993), and John Adams’s Doctor Atomic (2005). This project employs oral history and archival research as well as musical, dramatic, and dramaturgical analyses to investigate three interconnected lines of inquiry. The first traces the roots of these operas to the aesthetics and practices of the American avant-garde communities with which these composers collaborated early in their careers.

  • The Music Room: Betty Freeman’S Musical Soirees´
    Twentieth-Century Music 14/3, 391–409 © Cambridge University Press, 2018 doi: 10.1017/S1478572217000330 The Music Room: Betty Freeman’s Musical Soirees´ JAKE JOHNSON Abstract For over ten years, Los Angeles arts patron Betty Freeman (1921–2009) welcomed composers, performers, scholars, patrons, and invited guests into her home for a series of monthly musicales that were known as ‘Salotto’. In this article, I analyse Freeman’s musicales within a sociological framework of gender and what Randall Collins calls ‘interaction rituals’. I contextualize these events, which took place in a space in her Beverly Hills home known as the Music Room, within a broader history of salon culture in Los Angeles in the twentieth century – a history that shaped the city’s relationship with the artistic avant-garde and made Los Angeles an important amplifier for many of the most important voices in contemporary Western art music of the last sixty years. Music critic W. J. Henderson begins his satirical novel of 1912, The Soul of a Tenor, with the following enigmatic scene: Mrs. Harley Manners, just stepping from her car in front of the Waldorf-Astoria, was a vision of radiant expectancy. She was hastening to one of those perfectly delightful Monday morning musicales at which, for an inconsiderable price, you could sit and rub shoulders with people right in the heart of the smart set. Mrs. Harley Manners was not in that set. She knew many people in it, and purred audibly when they spoke to her. When they did not, which was the more usual occurrence, she retained her composure and waited.

  • Jake Johnson Research Statement Current Research
    Jake Johnson Research Statement Current Research My research asks how communities in America use music, voice, and sound to perform an identity as American. Musical theater has proven to be a helpful means of investigating this question, and for three related reasons: 1) Unlike most popular music styles, musicals are neither primarily nor traditionally media-dependent, so 2) musical theater is a de-centralized mode of music-making, existing everywhere among many types of communities, which means 3) musicals reveal through liveness local values-making among a host of American populations. Although musical theater has traditionally been understood and criticized for its relationship to wealth, elitism, and progressive white audiences in New York, my work asks what musicals mean and how they matter outside of Times Square. These qualities of musical theater inform my first two book projects. Mormons, Musical Theater, and Belonging in America (University of Illinois Press, 2019) contributes a fresh perspective on voice in religious communities. In this book, I do two things: 1) I draw attention to the rich musical theater practices outside of Broadway and 2) I explore vocal theatricality as a theological principle in American religion, which helps explain why fundamentalist religions like Mormonism are so drawn to American musical theater. I argue that Mormonism and early musical theater were cut from the same ideological cloth, both borne out of Jacksonian-era ideologies—namely self-fashioning and white supremacy. Musicals and Mormons therefore have a lot to say about one another and, when analyzed together, ask provocatively what it means to be and sound American.
