  • Tracing the Development of Extended Vocal Techniques in Twentieth-Century America
    CRUMP, MELANIE AUSTIN. D.M.A. When Words Are Not Enough: Tracing the Development of Extended Vocal Techniques in Twentieth-Century America. (2008) Directed by Mr. David Holley, 93 pp. Although multiple books and articles expound upon the musical culture and progress of American classical, popular and folk music in the United States, there are no publications that investigate the development of extended vocal techniques (EVTs) throughout twentieth-century American music. Scholarly interest in the contemporary music scene of the United States abounds, but few sources provide information on the exploitation of the human voice for its unique sonic capabilities. This document seeks to establish links and connections between musical trends, major artistic movements, and the global politics that shaped Western art music, with those composers utilizing EVTs in the United States, for the purpose of generating a clearer musicological picture of EVTs as a practice of twentieth-century vocal music. As demonstrated in the connecting of musicological dots found in primary and secondary historical documents, composer and performer studies, and musical scores, the study explores the history of extended vocal techniques and the culture in which they flourished.

  • Narrative Structure and Purpose in Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot
    Portrait of the Artist as a Young Clown: Narrative Structure and Purpose in Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire Mike Fabio Introduction In September of 1912, a 37-year-old Arnold Schoenberg sat in a Berlin concert hall awaiting the premier of his 21st opus, Pierrot Lunaire. A frail man, as rash in his temperament as he was docile when listening to his music, Schoenberg watched as the lights dimmed and a fully costumed Pierrot took to the stage, a spotlight illuminating him against a semitransparent black screen through which a small instrumental ensemble could be seen. But as Pierrot began singing, the audience quickly grew uneasy, noting that Pierrot was in fact a woman singing in the most awkward of styles against a backdrop of pointillist atonal brilliance. Certainly this was not Beethoven. In a review of the concert, music critic James Huneker wrote: The very ecstasy of the hideous!…Schoenberg is…the cruelest of all composers, for he mingles with his music sharp daggers at white heat, with which he pares away tiny slices of his victim’s flesh. Anon he twists the knife in the fresh wound and you receive another thrill…. There is no melodic or harmonic line, only a series of points, dots, dashes or phrases that sob and scream, despair, explode, exalt and blaspheme.1 Schoenberg was no stranger to criticism of this nature. He had grown increasingly contemptuous of critics, many of whom dismissed his music outright, even in his early years. When Schoenberg entered his atonal period after 1908, the criticism became far more outrageous, and audiences were noted to have rioted and left the theater in the middle of pieces.

  • Chapter 1: Schoenberg the Conductor
    Demystifying Schoenberg's Conducting Avior Byron Video: Silent, black and white footage of Schönberg conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a rehearsal of Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4 in March 1935. Audio ex. 1: Schoenberg conducting Pierrot lunaire, ‘Eine blasse Wäscherin’, Los Angeles, CA, 24 September 1940. Audio ex. 2: Schoenberg conducting Verklärte Nacht Op. 4, Berlin, 1928. Audio ex. 3: Schoenberg conducting Verklärte Nacht Op. 4, Berlin, 1928. In 1975 Charles Rosen wrote: 'From time to time appear malicious stories of eminent conductors who have not realized that, in a piece of … Schoenberg, the clarinettist, for example, picked up an A instead of a B-flat clarinet and played his part a semitone off'.1 This widespread anecdote is often told about Schoenberg as a conductor. There are also music critics who wrote negatively and quite decisively about Schoenberg's conducting. For example, Theo van der Bijl wrote in De Tijd on 7 January 1921 about a concert in Amsterdam: 'An entire Schoenberg evening under the direction of the composer, who unfortunately is not a conductor!' Even in the scholarly literature one finds declarations from time to time that Schoenberg was an unaccomplished conductor.2 All of this might have contributed to the fact that very few people now bother taking Schoenberg's conducting seriously.3 I will challenge this prevailing negative notion by arguing that behind some of the criticism of Schoenberg's conducting are motives, which relate to more than mere technical issues. Relevant factors include the way his music was received in general, his association with Mahler, possibly anti-Semitism, occasionally negative behaviour of performers, and his complex relationship with certain people.

  • 20Th and 21St Century Practices in the Music of Björk
    1 20th and 21st Century Practices in The Music Of Björk During the past two decades it has become fashionable for newspapers and music magazines to periodically promote “the death of classical music”. The most recent and widely- read example of one such article was published by Slate in January 2014, titled “Requiem: Classical Music In America Is Dead”.1 Although much of the article is founded on generalizations, such as using the television show Modern Family as a representation for public opinion, it does make reference to other academic and fact-based articles such as Greg Sandow's research on the increasing average age of the classical music listening audience. The underlying message of all such articles is perhaps best summed up by Naxos writer John Steinmetz, who writes, “Our culture now has musical needs that classical music cannot meet…classical music, through no fault of its own, has fallen out of step with current values”2. However, the problem with articles of this kind is that they fail to separate the institution of classical music from classical music itself, which does not strictly live within opera houses or recital halls. The influence of classical music, especially 20th and 21st Century classical music, is alive and well with artists such as David Bowie, Grizzly Bear, and perhaps most famously, Björk. The ideas surrounding harmony and melody, the use of technology in music, and cultural themes which emerged during the 20th century are an integral part of Björk's music, and her commercial success over the past two decades proves that the values and techniques of modern classical music are still relevant to younger audiences.

    Nicholas Maw Spring Music Voices of Memory BBC National Orchestra of Wales William Boughton Sonata for Solo Violin Harriet Mackenzie two ideas: the first is a songlike line that rises from low to very high, while the second Nicholas Maw (1935-2009) consists of a wistful sighing motive in double-stopped tremolo. A more flowing episode leads, via the sighing motive, into a solemn sequence reminiscent of a funeral march, with a steady, pulsing ostinato played both arco and pizzicato on open strings. There Spring Music for Orchestra (1982 rev.1984) 14.38 is a telescoped repeat of the faster music and the atmospheric coda is played as though 1 Allegro brillante 2.50 heard from afar. 2 - Moderato con moto, sempre grazioso 5.04 The last movement, ‘Flight’, is fast and vigorous, characterised by tremolando bowing 3 - a tempo 3.09 and shifting rhythmic accents. At the heart of the movement is a more relaxed, lyrical 4 - Comodo e sempre grazioso 3.35 passage with a richly sonorous chordal texture. After this the music rapidly gathers pace resulting in a varied reprise of the opening section before an impulsive dash to the finish. In Maw’s Sonata for Solo Violin, the constraints of writing for a single stringed Voices of Memory - Variations for Orchestra (1995) 27.01 instrument in a four-movement, large-scale work are deftly surmounted by the 5 Theme Grave e sostenuto 1.10 composer’s gift for melodic lines and rhythmic invention. Each movement has a vivid 6 Variation 1 Poco più mosso 0.54 sense of colour, formal logic and onward momentum so that the writing, however 7 Variation 2 Poco movimento 2.19 demanding it may be, never suggests an arid study or a shallow technical exercise.

  • Musical Culture and the Modernist Writer
    SUBLIME NOISE: MUSICAL CULTURE AND THE MODERNIST WRITER By Joshua Benjamin Epstein Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in ENGLISH December, 2008 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Professor Mark Wollaeger Professor Carolyn Dever Professor Joy Calico Professor Jonathan Neufeld ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First thanks go to the members of my incomparable dissertation committee. Mark Wollaeger's perceptive critiques and (somehow) relentless optimism have been deeply appreciated, and Carolyn Dever's clarifying questions and sound advice have proven invaluable. As teachers, mentors, and readers of my work, Mark and Carolyn have been models of professionalism and generosity since I first arrived at Vanderbilt. Joy Calico's near-omniscience and keen critical eye have aided this project from its inception, and she has graciously tolerated my encroachment on her disciplinary terrain. Jonathan Neufeld has in many ways helped me grapple with the complex philosophical issues at stake (more complex than I had imagined!). To all four, I extend my sincere gratitude. My research has been funded by a grant from the College of Arts and Sciences; by the Robert Manson Myers Graduate Award in English; and by a year-long fellowship at Vanderbilt's Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities. Mona Frederick, Galyn Martin, and Sarah Nobles have worked tirelessly to make the Warren Center a pleasant and intellectually vibrant environment, and while a fellow there I benefited greatly from the collegiality and wisdom of Michael Callaghan, Megan Moran, George Sanders, Nicole Seymour, David Solodkow, and Heather Talley.

  • Schoenberg and Weill
    Schoenberg and Weill DAVID DREW UNTIL recently, there were only three sources to which students interested in the relationship-if any- between Weill and Schoenberg could safely be referred: Weill's published writings, 1 his music,2 and Schoenberg's gloss on a Feuilletonitem by Weill :'~ To these sources might be added a few scraps of more-or-less reliable hearsay. The first source remains the largest, and although it is no longer the most revealing, it serves an indispensable purpose. References to Schoenberg in Weill's contributions to the Berlin radio journal Der deutsche Rundfunk during the crucial years 1925-7 are quite numerous and uniformly positive, whether his subject be the. composer of Gurrelieder or of Pierrot Lunaire. 'Selbst seine Gegner', he wrote in the issue of 28 February 1926, 'mtissen in ihm die reinste, edelste KtinstlerpersonaliUit und die starkste Geistigkeit des heutigen Musiklebens anerkennen.' [Even his opponents have to recognise in him the purest and most noble artistic personality and the strongest mind in today's musicallife.J4 No such awe informs the handful of published references to Schoenberg that Weill permitted himselfin his Broadway years. Nevertheless, one trace of the early attitude survives in an inverted form: whereas the Weill ofFebruary 1926lauded a Schoenberg 'der einen Erfolg zu Lebzeiten fast als einen Ruckschritt seiner Kunst betrachtet' [who regards success in his own lifetime almost as a setback for his art], the Weill of 1940 declared that whereas he himself composed 'for today' and didn't 'give a damn for pos­ terity', Schoenberg wrote 'for a time 50 years after his death'.5 Merely attributed to Weill by the writer of a newspaper article - and indebted, perhaps, to a view of posterity already offered to the American public by Stravinsky - Weill's most celebra­ ted aperPJ fulfills a need but lacks a context.

  • Theory of Music-Expressionism
    Theory of Music – Jonathan Dimond Expressionism (version September 2009) INTRODUCTION Expressionism – the antithesis of impressionism – is the artistic movement which embraced the subconscious and its free outpourings, unfiltered or edited by the conscious mind. The classic painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch sums up the artistic movement’s fascination with the outpouring of strong emotion, of darkness and night-time, of the subconscious, and how our actions effect the environment and our perception of it. Skrik, 1893 Expressionism’s themes seem to be related to the inner feelings of conflict and tension with the outside world, brought on perhaps by the industrial revolution of the 1850’s and rapid changes in technology and social structure. Expressionistic art is characterized both by desperate intensity of feeling and revolutionary modes of utterance. (Grout, p.853) Five Pieces for Orchestra (Fünf Orchesterstücke), Op. 16, 1909 Background Arnold Schoenberg’s Free Atonal, expressionist period spans the six years from 1908-1914. It was a period filled with relentless painting and composing. In this period, Schoenberg moved from the post-Romantic German chromatic idiom personified by Wagner, into a language of increased rhythmic and harmonic complexity, counterpoint and fragmentation of melodic line. At the same time he concentrated on smaller forms and small ensembles. Even when full orchestra was used (as in these Five Pieces), the instruments were treated more soloistically, with swift alternation of colours. This contrasts with the post-Romantic giganticism of Schoenberg’s Gurre Lieder (1901). Theory of Music – Expressionism – www.jonathandimond.com - 1 - Schoenberg made the following comment about his creative urge at this time: “When composing, every chord corresponds to a compulsive urge, prompted by a need to express myself”.
