This, in order to develop the acoustic guitar as a fully-fledged solo instrument, rather than its more typical role of accompanying instrument. Before Hedges, there were already several acoustic guitarists who challenged the convention that the steel-string acoustic guitar’s primary function is that of an instrument for accompaniment. John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Will Ackerman and Preston Reed were the most prominent guitarists to try to validate the steel-string acoustic guitar as a solo instrument. They all had their own unique idiosyncratic approach within this self- proclaimed mandate, but none had the disruptive impact that Hedges had, and still has. Today, this new acoustic guitar movement – often described as Fingerstyle or Percussive Guitar – is larger and more popular than ever.

Crosson © 2019 Dylan Crosson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2019 ! ii The thesis of Dylan N. Crosson was reviewed and approved* by the following: Charles Youmans Professor of Musicology Thesis Adviser Taylor A. Greer Associate Professor of Music Theory Marica S. Tacconi Professor of Musicology Graduate Officer and Associate Director of the School of Music *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ! iii ABSTRACT Over the course of his thirteen-year career, Michael Hedges revolutionized the fingerstyle guitar world through his revolutionary techniques. Despite these innovations, however—or perhaps because of them—Hedges’s accomplishments as a composer have been overlooked. Hedges’s underlying methods link him to a much broader, more celebrated tradition of composers. This thesis considers the music of Hedges from this standpoint, with particular attention to questions of compositional influence. Chapter One establishes Hedges as an “idiosyncratic minimalist” who simultaneously inherits the style from its founders while exercising his direct links to its roots. To do so, this chapter considers minimalism theoretically and culturally to show the complex nature of Hedges’s relationship with minimalism. Chapter Two investigates Hedges’s compositional uses of the Fibonacci Series and Golden Ratio. Tracking his fascination with the subject back to a book investigating the manifestations of the Fibonacci series in Bartok’s music, this chapter adopts this book’s methodology to search for such manifestations in the music of Hedges.
