  • ABSTRACT of MUSICAL ARTS PROJECT Andrew Michael Bliss
    ABSTRACT OF MUSICAL ARTS PROJECT Andrew Michael Bliss The Graduate School University of Kentucky 2008 DAVID LANG: DECONSTRUCTING A CONSTRUCTIVIST COMPOSER ______________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT OF MUSICAL ARTS PROJECT ______________________________________________________________ A musical arts project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the College of Fine Arts at the University of Kentucky By Andrew Michael Bliss Lexington, Kentucky Director: James B. Campbell, Professor of Music Lexington, Kentucky 2008 Copyright © Andrew Michael Bliss 2008 ABSTRACT OF MUSICAL ARTS PROJECT DAVID LANG: DECONSTRUCTING A CONSTRUCTIVIST COMPOSER The percussion compositions of David Lang hold a prominent place within the percussion solo repertoire. Lang’s constructivist approach to composition, as well as his resistance to tradition, has secured him a highly respected position among performers and composers alike. Percussion repertoire is yet to receive the in-depth scholarship that it currently warrants. Considering the relative youth of the genre, a Pulitzer Prize winning composer such as Lang’s interest in percussion writing should not be overlooked. Furthermore, the logistical nature of dealing with percussion notation, orchestration, and performance requires a specialist, making it difficult for most musicologists to offer the proper insight and observations. This monograph exposes the complex and multi-dimensional solo percussion works of David Lang, specifically The Anvil Chorus, Scraping Song, and Unchained Melody. The document provides insight into the composer’s intentions while offering strategies to confront the physical and psychological issues that arise when preparing these works for performance. It also deconstructs Lang’s compositional processes and reveals the similarities in his approach from piece to piece, thus clarifying his style.

  • Oberlin Artist Recital Series: Bang on a Can All-Stars (February
    Oberlin Artist Recital Series: Bang on a Can All-Stars (February 28) by Mike Telin On Saturday, February 28 in Finney Chapel, the Oberlin Artist Recital series presented the Bang on a Can All-Stars in a high energy concert that featured music by Bang on a Can founders David Lang, Julia Wolfe and Michael Gordon, as well as works by Kate Moore, Steve Martland and Philip Glass. Since playing their first marathon concert in a SoHo art gallery on Mother’s Day in 1987, the composers/performers collective, Bang on a Can, has grown into one of the world’s premier arts organization. It inspires and fosters the growth of young composers and musicians as well as bringing contemporary music to audiences world-wide. In addition to the All-Stars, their programs include the annual Bang on Can Marathon, The People’s Commissioning Fund, the Summer Music Festival at MASSMoCA, the Asphalt Orchestra, and Found Sound Nation, a technology-based program which led to the creation of OneBeat, a residency that brings American musicians together with young musicians from developing countries. By the middle of David Lang’s Sunray, which opened the program on Saturday, it was clear that Ashley Bathgate (cello), Robert Black (bass), Vicky Chow (piano), David Cossin (percussion), Mark Stewart (electric guitar) and Ken Thomson (clarinet and saxophone) are all extraordinary musicians who possess abundant technique. Here, and throughout the evening, the ensemble continually tossed off extremely complicated rhythmic passages as though they were a walk in the park. Do they each have surgically implanted metronomes? After Sunray’s initial sliver of light evolved into an intense ball of fire and the final chord had dissipated, Lang, who was present at the concert, acknowledged the applause of the large and appreciative audience.
