DISCOVERING TWO NEW SOLO WORKS FOR TROMBONE: A HISTORY, SUMMARY, AND PREPARATION OF FRANK GULINO’S SONATA NO. 1: THE JOURNEY, AND JOSEPH BUONO’S ELEGY FOR TROMBONE AND PIANO by John Mark Whitfield, Jr. A Doctoral Project Submitted to the Graduate School, the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Music at The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Approved by: Ben McIlwain, Committee Chair Joseph Brumbeloe Edward Hafer Larry Panella Richard Perry May 2021 COPYRIGHT BY John Mark Whitfield, Jr. 2021 Published by the Graduate School ABSTRACT This paper will serve as a guide to musicians for the preparation and performance of two recent solo compositions for trombone worthy of study and performance: Frank Gulino’s Sonata No. 1: The Journey (2019) and Joseph Buono’s Elegy for Trombone and Piano (2016). Included will be sections or chapters on the history and background of each work, biographical information about each composer, a detailed performer’s analysis of each work, exclusive interviews with the composers, and interviews with the trombonists who commissioned and/or premiered each work. Each individual interview will provide insight into the music, including information on personal inspirations and compositional processes, a focus on emotional content, thematic elements, and recommendations on preparing each piece. Recital programming suggestions have also been included. The pieces examined warrant serious study and performance, and this paper will inform future preparations of these two works. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my graduate committee chair, Dr. Ben McIlwain, and committee members, Dr. Joseph Brumbeloe, Dr. Ed Hafer, Dr. Richard Perry, and Mr. Larry Panella for their cooperation throughout this project. Dr. Ben McIlwain deserves a special thank you for his continued support, invaluable advice, and for his willingness to help with whatever was needed. I would also like to thank all who were contributed to the research portion of this project: Joseph Buono, Frank Gulino, Matt Vaughn, Dr. Cory Mixdorf, Sam Woodhead, and Dr. Dave Perkel for their time and willingness to be interviewed, and to the survey respondents, as well. All of the information that I have collected would not have been possible without all the collective generosity of all involved. I would like to thank several friends and colleagues personally: Dr. Ann Gabrielle Henning, a fabulous proofreader, for her advice and guidance throughout the writing process; Steven Dixon, for being my sounding board and a source of Zen in moments of frustration; also Kennith Watts and Ross Werner for helping with graphic generation. I would especially like to thank Dr. Wes Parker for his friendship, mentorship, and continued influence on my career, and John Ilika for his support and candor. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their love and support, for putting up with the late nights of practicing, writing, and for driving all over the country in support of my endeavors. iii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this document to my grandmother, Jean Hawkins, for being a constant source of positivity and encouragement throughout the process of finishing my doctorate. She has been a tremendous model of perseverance amid her own battle with cancer, and has served as my inspiration to finish strong. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iii DEDICATION ................................................................................................................... iv LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ............................................................................................ vii LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES .................................................................................. viii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ............................................................................................. x INTRODUCTION .............................................................................................................. 1 Statement of Purpose .................................................................................................. 1 State of Research......................................................................................................... 1 Methodology ............................................................................................................... 2 CHAPTER I - FRANK GULINO ....................................................................................... 3 Biography ................................................................................................................ 3 SONATA NO. 1: THE JOURNEY ............................................................................... 5 Historical Background ............................................................................................ 5 Performance Considerations ................................................................................... 6 Movement Two ................................................................................................... 6 Movement Three ................................................................................................. 9 Movement One.................................................................................................. 13 Final Recommendations........................................................................................ 17 v CHAPTER II - JOSEPH BUONO .................................................................................... 19 Biography .............................................................................................................. 19 ELEGY FOR TROMBONE AND PIANO ................................................................. 21 Historical Background .......................................................................................... 21 Performance Considerations ................................................................................. 25 Final Recommendations........................................................................................ 38 CONCLUSIONS............................................................................................................... 40 APPENDIX A INTERVIEW WITH FRANK GULINO, JULY 13, 2020 ....................... 41 APPENDIX B INTERVIEW WITH JOSEPH BUONO, JULY 15, 2020 ....................... 56 APPENDIX C INTERVIEW WITH JOSEPH BUONO, OCTOBER 13, 2020............... 68 APPENDIX D INTERVIEW WITH CORY MIXDORF, JULY 9, 2020 ........................ 70 APPENDIX E INTERVIEW WITH MATT VAUGHN, JULY 18, 2020 ....................... 78 END OF INTERVIEW ..................................................................................................... 83 APPENDIX F INTERVIEW WITH SAM WOODHEAD, JULY 15, 2020 .................... 84 APPENDIX G - BUONO’S NOTES ON ELEGY FOR TROMBONE AND PIANO .... 91 APPENDIX H IRB APPROVAL LETTER ..................................................................... 94 BIBLIOGRAPHY ............................................................................................................. 95 vi LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS Figure 1.

  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba
    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds 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 August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.

  • A Curriculum for Tuba Performance in a Commercial Brass
    A CURRICULUM FOR TUBA PERFORMANCE IN A COMMERCIAL BRASS QUINTET BY PAUL CARLSON Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music, Indiana University December, 2013 Accepted by the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. ___________________________________ Daniel Perantoni __________________________________ Kyle Adams __________________________________ Jeffrey Nelsen __________________________________ John Rommel ii Preface While a curriculum for any type of performance could be synthesized by theoretical reasoning based upon knowledge of how to learn any new genre or style of music, it is tradition that students turn to leaders in the field to gain insight and knowledge into the specific craft that they wish to pursue. While pure scholarship and study of a repertoire is an excellent way to gain insight into a performance arena, time spent in the field actually performing a certain style of music as a member of a professional ensemble gives a perspective that is intrinsically valuable to a project such as this. In addition to the sources listed in the bibliography and the extensive research done concerning this project, I have been a member of the Dallas Brass Quintet since September of 2010. I currently continue to serve as their tubist. Being a member of this ensemble, which is one of the most active touring commercial styled brass quintets in existence today, has greatly informed me concerning this project in terms of the demands of this type of performance. As I prepared to write this document, I took inventory of the skills and preparation that have allowed me to perform successfully in a commercial brass quintet.

This is not a new phenomenon, however, as Nineteen Eighty-Four has had a unique impact on each of the generations that have read it, and the impact has stretched across racial, ethnic, political, and gender lines. This thesis project will examine the critical, popular, and scholarly reception of Nineteen Eighty-Four since its publication 1949. Reviewers’ and commentators’ references common ideas, themes, and settings from the novel will be tracked using narrative theory concepts in order to map out an understanding of how the interpretations of the novel changed over time relative to major events in both American and Pankowski 1 world history.
