Te growth of his improvisational skills led to an interest in composition. He attended the New England Conservatory of Music, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in composition and now serves as chair of the composition department. He was also once a Fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center, and now heads the composition faculty. Gandofi is a member of the Atlanta School of Composers, which evolved as a project of Robert Spano (conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra) to nurture, commission, and record contemporary music. Select composers include Jennifer Higdon, Christopher Teofanidis, Osvaldo Golijov, and Adam Schoenberg. An example of Gandolf’s contribution is Garden of Cosmic Speculation (2007). It was commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Tanglewood, recorded by Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and nominated for a Grammy. Gandolf’s broad range of musical interests embraces not only contemporary classical music but also popular genres. Tis in addition to his cultural curiosity has resulted in many intersections between his music and other disciplines including science, flm, and theater.

  • By Joseph Schwantner: an Exploration of Trajectory As an Organizing Principle for Drama, Motive, and Structure
    New Morning For The World ("Daybreak Of Freedom") By Joseph Schwantner: An Exploration Of Trajectory As An Organizing Principle For Drama, Motive, And Structure By Mark Feezell, Ph.D. ([email protected], www.drfeezell.com) Copyright © 2002 by Mark Feezell. All Rights Reserved. Used on this site by permission of the author. This essay explores techniques found in Joseph Schwantner's 1982 composition New Morning for the World ("Daybreak of Freedom"). Schwantner's piece, in which a speaker performs the part of Martin Luther King, Jr. using texts from his speeches and writings, establishes dramatic, motivic, and structural trajectories1 through the interactions of the speaker and the orchestra. Each of the three trajectories, dramatic/narrative, motivic, and structural, exert their influence continuously throughout Schwantner's piece. Simultaneously, each trajectory supports and influences the others. Joseph Schwantner (born 1943) is an American composer2 who earned composition degrees from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago (BM, 1964) and Northwestern University (MM 1966, DM 1968). Elements that pervade his mature works include "a fascination with timbre, extreme instrumental range, juxtaposed instrumental groupings, pedal points, and a 1 A trajectory is the directed evolution of a set of related musical parameters. 2 For background and analysis on other Schwantner works, see, for example, Cynthia Folio's article "The synthesis of traditional and contemporary elements in Joseph Schwantner's 'Sparrows,'" Perspectives of New Music,

  • Hybridity in Flute Music of Four Contemporary Composers
    HYBRIDITY IN FLUTE MUSIC OF FOUR CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS Yeji Kim A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS December 2012 Committee: Marilyn Shrude, Advisor Robert W. Midden Graduate Faculty Representative Mary Natvig John Sampen © 2012 Yeji Kim All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Shrude, Advisor Hybridity is a concept that is widely discussed in the field of cultural studies. The term can be applied to anything that exhibits a fusion or mixture of elements and fades the demarcation between the elements. In music it is evident in the fusion of such disparate elements as old and new styles; electronic and acoustic media; Western and non-Western music; audio and visual components; classical and popular music; and the use of quotation. These elements are often combined in works that contribute to a hybrid musical vocabulary with a distinctive style, so that the points of departure are often blurred. Many recently composed works for flute demonstrate hybridity. The purpose of this document is to explore the concept of hybridity as evidenced in the flute works of four contemporary American composers and flutists: Cynthia Folio (b. 1954), Anne La Berge (b. 1955), Janice Misurell-Mitchell (b. 1946), and Maggi Payne (b. 1945). The study examines what brought about their hybrid approach to composition, as well as the relationship between their roles as both creator and presenter of works that demonstrate hybridity. Extensive email interviews, consultation of available sources, and analyses of compositions are the essential research tools.

Hale Smith (1925-2009) Abide With Me (1993) WIND SYMPHONY • FEBRUARY 3, 2018 PROGRAM NOTES Charles Ives Variations on America Duration: 8 minutes Charles Ives is widely regarded as one of the first American composers of international significance. His father was a former Civil War bandmaster who taught his son piano, cornet, and drums, while also encouraging him to experiment with polytonality, microtones, and other unusual techniques. Charles played in the town band and in churches as a child. He later attended Yale University where he studied composition. As a Civil War bandmaster, Ives’ father, George, was well aware of the power of vernacular music. He believed the value of music was not necessarily found in a beautifully composed and well-performed piece, but instead in the emotional reaction of the listener and performer. A very imperfect performance could be just as affective, if not more so, than a perfect performance.

Dans le noir Lucy Shelton, soprano Brian Connelly, piano NOTES ON HARA WI "Harawi" is a Quechua word (Peruvian dialect) meaning a type of love song which ends with the death of the lovers - hence the subtitle "song of love and death." At this time Messiaen was very interested in the writings of Becland d 'Harcourt on the folklore of the Andes. He became convinced that "Peruvian music contains .. the most beautiful folk music in the world." As a result, in "Harawi" he worked images and words from these songs into his poems, including onomatopoeic sounds, and adapted some of their fun­ damentally pentatonic melodies into his "modes of limited transposition." The woman of the poems is called Piroutcha, but the man is not named as it is he who frequently addresses her. As in his earlier works, Messiaen uses a cyclic theme and arranges the songs around a central movement, the first movement standing alone as an introduction.
