After a full year of planning and an enticing 45-day lead- in, the time has come to enjoy our 45th annual conven- tion. Leonard Garrison, having served the NFA in so many ways, now offers his crowning achievement, a grand four- day festival. Leonard and Assistant Program Chair Jennifer Rhyne have collaborated all along the way with our excellent staff— Kelly, Kris, Vicky, Kate, Anne, and Brian—who work year- round to enhance the NFA and to make each convention Kyle Dzapo special. Our behind-the-scenes convention volunteers—Kim Goodman, Townes Osborn Miller, Margaret Haik, Judy Ranheim, Jennifer Kennard, and Paula Gudmundson—our competition coordinators, and our 22 convention interns are also contributing mightily to this convention. Many thanks, too, to our performers and presenters whose contributions we will admire and enjoy. Each year, our exhibitors deliver one of the convention’s most important attractions: You won’t find a better selection of flutes, flute music, accessories, and the latest innovations of our industry than in our exhibit hall. Please extend generous patronage that will show our appreciation and keep them coming back! I hope you’ll attend our annual meeting Thursday morning to greet friends, officers, and board members; meet candidates; and hear the latest news of our association. Then download our convention app (available through “Guidebook”) to navigate your way through the convention center and the full schedule of events. This is your opportunity to hear inspiring performances by many of the world’s finest flutists, glean pedagogical insights, discover new performers, share in launching the careers of our competition winners, and enter spheres you haven’t yet explored. Over the next four days, you’ll have opportunities to expand your knowledge of jazz flute, Dalcroze eurhythmics, low flutes, Baroque performance practice, yoga and performance health issues, chamber and flute choir repertoire, orchestral excerpts, improvisation, the latest in flute research, and music from around the world, while also hearing favorite works and world premieres. Among the hundreds of events, Saturday night’s Gala Awards Dinner is one of the most special. This year, we recognize three distinguished colleagues: Ervin Monroe and Laurie Sokoloff, recipients of Lifetime Achievement Awards, and Linda Mintener, our Distinguished Service Award recipient. I hope you’ll join in the celebration and get to know these exceptional individuals. Please make your reservation for the dinner by Friday at noon and start the evening by attending the 5:00 p.m. reception (open to all). At the end of the evening, enjoy our post-Gala Concerto Concert party to congratulate the performers and connect with colleagues and friends. With all of the offerings ahead, I hope you will have an incredibly enriching and enjoy- able week. —Kyle Dzapo President, NFA Board of Directors 45TH annual national flute association convention, minneapolis, 2017 11 nfaonline.org YOUR CHOICE {SMART SEARCH} {SAFE TRIAL} a new methodology for finding your voice YOUR VOICE ARTISTRY TOOLS SERVICES CHOICE {booth #116} {flute + artistry = #flutistry} {www.flutistry.com} OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, STAFF, CONVENTION VOLUNTEERS, AND COMPETITION COMMITTEES Kyle Dzapo Jack McCurdy President (2016–2018) Assistant Equipment Chair Joanna Bassett Pamela Youngblood Vice President (2016–2018) 10,000 Lakes Flute Orchestra Conductor Paul Taub Kathy Farmer Secretary (2016–2017) 10,000 Lakes Flute Orchestra Coordinator Tabatha Easley Joan da Silva Heit Assistant Secretary (2016–2017) Convention Flute Choirs Coordinator Penny Zent Dorli McWayne Treasurer (2013–2017) Peter Sheridan Convention Flute Choirs Selection Committee Board of Directors Autumn Bitner Cristina Ballatori (2016–2019) Miah Bloom Molly Barth (2015–2018) Kelli Bower Mary Kay Fink (2016–2019) Flor Cruz Jennifer Grim (2016–2019) Haley Diers Matt Johnston (2014–2017) Jordan Frazier Virginia Broffitt Kunzer (2014–2017) Jacob Hathaway Diane Boyd Schultz (2016–2018) Kyle Jones Mary Stolper (2014–2017) Francesca Leo Elizabeth Watson (2015–2018) Ammi Lopez Executive Director Lilly Mauti Travis Mercado Kelly Jocius Lisa Meyerhofer

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

    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.

  • Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music From
    2015/16 Season: Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music from the Generation He Inspired 31ST SEASON 17 & 18 October, 2015 Curtis Institute of Music Philadelphia, PA Introduction: Vincent Persichetti @ 100 Vincent Persichetti was one of the most widely respected musicians of his generation. A prolific composer, brilliant educator and lecturer, and prodigious pianist, he composed more than 150 works in virtu- ally all genres and for virtually all performing media, while serving for 40 years on the faculty of the Juilliard School, many of them as chairman of the composition department. During his lifetime Persichetti influenced the musical lives of thou- sands of people from all walks of life, and his name came to signify a comprehensive musicianship virtually unparalleled among American composers. Countless young pianists were nurtured on his sonatinas and the Little Piano Book, while many other young instrumental students first experienced serious contemporary music through his works for band; church choirs turned to his Hymns and Respons- es for the Church Year as an inexhaustible resource, while many young composers have found his classic textbook Twentieth Century Harmony to be an indispensable tool; among professional soloists and conductors his sonatas, concertos, and symphonies stood among the masterworks of American music. Throughout his life Persichetti encouraged healthy, creative participation in music at all levels of proficiency, while shunning dogmas that advocated one composition- al approach at the expense of others. He was beloved and admired as a teacher, and was in great demand as a lecturer, using his comprehensive knowledge of the repertoire, extraordinary gift for improvisation, awe-inspiring piano technique, and mischievous wit to captivate audiences.

  • Sonata for Flute and Piano in D Major, Op. 94 by Sergey Prokofiev
    SONATA FOR FLUTE AND PIANO IN D MAJOR, OP. 94 BY SERGEY PROKOFIEV: A PERFORMANCE GUIDE HONORS THESIS Presented to the Honors Committee of Texas State University-San Marcos in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation in the Honors ColLege by Danielle Emily Stevens San Marcos, Texas May 2014 1 SONATA FOR FLUTE AND PIANO IN D MAJOR, OP. 94 BY SERGEY PROKOFIEV: A PERFORMANCE GUIDE Thesis Supervisor: ________________________________ Kay Lipton, Ph.D. School of Music Second Reader: __________________________________ Adah Toland Jones, D. A. School of Music Second Reader: __________________________________ Cynthia GonzaLes, Ph.D. School of Music Approved: ____________________________________ Heather C. GaLLoway, Ph.D. Dean, Honors ColLege 2 Abstract This thesis contains a performance guide for Sergey Prokofiev’s Sonata for Flute and Piano in D Major, Op. 94 (1943). Prokofiev is among the most important Russian composers of the twentieth century. Recognized as a leading Neoclassicist, his bold innovations in harmony and his new palette of tone colors enliven the classical structures he embraced. This is especially evident in this flute sonata, which provides a microcosm of Prokofiev’s compositional style and highlights the beauty and virtuosic breadth of the flute in new ways. In Part 1 I have constructed an historical context for the sonata, with biographical information about Prokofiev, which includes anecdotes about his personality and behavior, and a discussion of the sonata’s commission and subsequent premiere. In Part 2 I offer an anaLysis of the piece with generaL performance suggestions and specific performance practice options for flutists that will assist them as they work toward an effective performance, one that is based on both the historically informed performance context, as well as remarks that focus on particular techniques, challenges and possible performance solutions.

Their signature blend of vocal agility and captivating showmanship has thrilled generations of fans worldwide. As they embark on the next chapter of their story, these pioneers of the genre are once again reshaping the possibilities of vocal music to create immersive and exhil arating experiences for audiences. The group’s history is a remarkable tale of renewal. In 1963, American 'born Ward Swingle assembled a group of Parisian session singers to sing Bach’s keyboard music. The resulting album, Jazz Sebastian Bach, launched the Swingle Singers to fame. Over five decades the group has sustained a level of international popularity beyond its founder’s wildest dreams, with each new singer bringing something fresh to the Swingle sound. The seven extraordinary voices that make up t oday’s young, London 'based Swingle Singers are the inheritors of an unbroken lineage going back to 1963 and share the original group’s innovative spirit. Their repertoire spans pop, classical, folk, latin and jazz music – and, for the first time in many ye ars, powerful original songs. All are delivered with unflagging passion and precision, using the human voice alone.

From 1870 to 1934 he was the organist of St. Sulpice in Paris, and was professor of organ at the Paris Conservatoire, following in the footsteps of Cesar Franck. He was, however, a prolific composer, his output including three operas, symphonies, concertos, chamber music, piano solos and songs. Of his chamber works, perhaps one of his finest pieces is this Suite for Flute and Piano, Op. 34. Widor composed the Suite in 1877 (although it was not published until 1898) for Paul Taffanel (1844-1908), a fellow professor at the Conservatoire and a fine, highly influential flautist who developed many technical aspects of flute playing to the extent that France became the acknowledged centre of the flute in Europe.
