The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing. -

Dear Customer, Glorious sunshine and summer temperatures prevail as this foreword is being written, but we suspect it will all be over by the time you are reading it! On the plus side, at least that means we might be able to tempt you into investing in a little more listening material before the outside weather arrives for real… We were pleasantly surprised by the number of new releases appearing late April and into May, as you may be able to tell by the slightly-longer-than-usual new release portion of this catalogue. Warner & Erato certainly have plenty to offer us, taking up a page and half of the ‘priorities’ with new recordings from Nigel Kennedy, Philippe Jaroussky, Emmanuel Pahud, David Aaron Carpenter and others, alongside some superbly compiled boxsets including a Massenet Opera Collection, performances from Joseph Keilberth (in the ICON series), and two interesting looking Debussy collections: ‘Centenary Discoveries’ and ‘His First Performers’. Rachel Podger revisits Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for Channel Classics (already garnering strong reviews), Hyperion offer us five new titles including Schubert from Marc-Andre Hamelin and Berlioz from Lawrence Power and Andrew Manze (see ‘Disc of the Month’ below), plus we have strong releases from Sandrine Piau (Alpha), the Belcea Quartet joined by Piotr Anderszewski (also Alpha), Magdalena Kozena (Supraphon), Osmo Vanska (BIS), Boris Giltberg (Naxos) and Paul McCreesh (Signum). -

Duo Sonatas and Sonatinas for Two Clarinets, Or Clarinet and Another Woodwind Instrument: an Annotated Catalog
DUO SONATAS AND SONATINAS FOR TWO CLARINETS, OR CLARINET AND ANOTHER WOODWIND INSTRUMENT: AN ANNOTATED CATALOG 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 Yu-Ju Ti, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 D.M.A Document Committee: Approved by Professor James Pyne, co-Advisor Professor Alan Green, co-Advisor ___________________________ Professor James Hill Co-advisor Professor Robert Sorton ___________________________ Co-advisor Music Graduate Program Copyright by Yu-Ju Ti 2009 ABSTRACT There are few scholarly writings that exist concerning unaccompanied duet literature for the clarinet. In the late 1900s David Randall and Lowell Weiner explored the unaccompanied clarinet duets in their dissertations “A Comprehensive Performance Project in Clarinet Literature with an Essay on the Clarinet Duet From ca.1715 to ca.1825” and “The Unaccompanied Clarinet Duet Repertoire from 1825 to the Present: An Annotated Catalogue”. However, unaccompanied duets for clarinet and another woodwind instrument are seldom mentioned in the academic literature and are rarely performed. In an attempt to fill the void, this research will provide a partial survey of this category. Because of the sheer volume of the duet literature, the scope of the study will be limited to original compositions entitled Sonata or Sonatina written for a pair of woodwind instruments which include at least one clarinet. Arrangements will be cited but not discussed. All of the works will be annotated, evaluated, graded by difficulty, and comparisons will be made between those with similar style. -

Allegro Deciso Carol Biel, Piano (1912-2000) II. Andante III. Allegro Spiritoso 3 pieces for Clarinet Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) Intermission 40 Studies, no. 12 Cyrille Rose (1830-1902) Clarinet Concerto Aaron Copland I. Slowly and Expressively Carol Biel, Piano (1900-1990) II. Rather Fast Cyrille Rose 40 Etudes, nos. 1, 12 Cyrille Rose (1830-1902) is one of the most important people in the history of the clarinet. With his teacher, Hyacinth Klosé, he sits at the beginning of a clarinet dynasty that would produce figures like Henri Lefèbvre(not to be confused with the marxist philosopher), who taught Daniel Bonade, who more or less created the modern American Orchestral clarinet sound as well as taught some of the most important American clarinetists. Among clarinetists, Rose is well known for his two books of clarinet studies, which are notable for both their pedagogical value and worth as concert material. The two selections I am performing are from part one of the second book of studies. Igor Stravinsky Three Pieces for Solo Clarinet (1919) Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) is a composer famous for his ballets, who also wrote in a great variety of styles and mediums. His work for solo clarinet, although written on a much smaller scale, has several stylistic elements that recall his more famous pieces, such as the Le Sacre du Printemps (1913), or L’histoire du Soldat (1918). -

The birds are the opposite of Time; they are our desire for light, for stars, for rainbows, and for jubilant songs.” -Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time had one of the most remarkable premieres of the 20th century. Messiaen served in the French army during World War II and was captured by the Germans at Verdun in June 1940. He was sent to Stalag VIII-A in Görlitz, Germany (today in Poland), where he was imprisoned during the winter of 1940-41. The prisoner-of-war camp was bitterly cold and food was in short supply, but Messiaen’s fame helped him greatly. A sympathetic guard provided him with the materials to compose this quartet and arranged the premiere on January 15, 1941 in a barely heated hall in front of a few hundred spellbound prisoners and guards.
