  • The Commissioned Works of the National Flute Association For
    THE COMMISSIONED WORKS OF THE NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION FOR THE YOUNG ARTIST AND HIGH SCHOOL SOLOIST COMPETITIONS 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 Kimberlee Goodman, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Document Committee: Approved by Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Adviser Dr. Robert Ward _____________________________ Dr. Susan Powell Adviser Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT The National Flute Association, an organization of professionals, amateurs, teachers, performers, and students has been active in the commissioning of new music for some of its competitions since 1986. The organization is responsible for more than forty new works for the Young Artist and High School Soloist competitions alone. The commissioning process has changed vastly over the years that the organization has been in existence. The National Flute Association commissions composers from all over the world to write pieces for two of its competitions; the Young Artist Competition has been commissioning works since 1986, and the High School Soloist Competition began commissioning new works in 1989. Additionally, the importance of the National Flute Association has led to many world premiere performances and individuals commissioning works to be premiered at the annual conventions. The purpose of this document is to highlight the competition commissioned works of this organization and its continuing commitment to presenting and championing new music. The National Flute Association has established itself as a leading organization in creating new works, and these commissioned pieces now represent a major body of work and a substantial portion of the newly composed repertoire for flute.
