  • A Pedagogical Analysis and Performance of Selected Compositions for Piano by Vincent Persichetti
    A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED COMPOSITIONS FOR PIANO BY VINCENT PERSICHETTI By Copyright 2016 Chi Kit Lam Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jack Winerock ________________________________ Dr. Scott McBride Smith ________________________________ Dr. Michael Kirkendoll ________________________________ Prof. Scott Murphy ________________________________ Dr. Alfred Tat-Kei Ho Date defended: May 11, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Chi Kit Lam certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED COMPOSITIONS FOR PIANO BY VINCENT PERSICHETTI ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jack Winerock Date approved: May 11, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Vincent Persichetti composed in a wide range of contemporary musical idioms. He incorporated twentieth-century harmonies into traditional forms and into classical piano writing. This paper seeks to emphasize the advantages of his music for piano pedagogy. Chapter Two concentrates on the composer’s life, compositional style, contribution and rewards, and it includes a short list of piano compositions. Chapter Three examines and analyzes four selected pieces by Persichetti: Little Piano Book, Piano Sonata No. 9, Poems for Piano No. 2 “Soft is the Collied Night,” and Four Arabesques, Op. 141, No. 1 Affabile. The Poem, the Arabesque, and the miniatures in Little Piano Book are smaller pieces, intended for amateur and intermediate pianists. The Ninth Sonata is a more substantial composition for advanced pianists. These pieces provide a broad image of Persichetti’s piano compositions. This study of selected works by Persichetti shows that his music is excellent pedagogical material for piano students as well as outstanding music to be performed in the concert hall.

  • Wakefern Food Corp. Clarifies Member Acquisition of Two New Locations Village Super Market Inc
    FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Meleta Wakefern Food Corp./ShopRite (732) 906-5363 [email protected] Wakefern Food Corp. Clarifies Member Acquisition of Two New Locations Village Super Market Inc. Bids on Two Superfresh stores in Baltimore, MD Keasbey, NJ, May 26, 2011 - Recent media reports have identified ShopRite® as the winning bidder of 10 Superfresh locations in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan area. Wakefern Food Corp., owner of the ShopRite trademark, announced today that it seeks to clarify those reports in an effort to correct any misinformation reported by the media. “As a cooperative with 47 members who own and operate their own stores under the ShopRite banner, our membership frequently identifies new possible ShopRite locations,” stated Karen Meleta, vice president of Consumer and Corporate Communications. “In this case, one of our members, Village Super Market, Inc., was part of a bidding group that successfully bid on 10 Superfresh stores in the Maryland market as part of the A&P bankruptcy reorganization.” Of the 10 stores included in the bid, two stores -- White Oak and Timonium -- have been identified by Village Super Market, Inc. as locations it would operate as ShopRites. The bid is subject to bankruptcy court approval and other conditions and the closing is expected in approximately one month. Wakefern has not bid on or entered into any agreement with another retailer or other party to bid upon or purchase any Superfresh locations. ### About Wakefern Food Corp. From a small, struggling cooperative with eight members – all owners of their own grocery stores – Wakefern Food Corp. has grown into the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the United States.
