Sarah Jackson January 2017 Sarah Jackson: Using the Breath Interview by Mindy Kaufman Sarah Jackson grew up in Canada and has been a professional orchestral musi- cian since the early 1990s, when she joined the flute section of the Vancouver Symphony. She has been piccoloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the past 13 years. We had met once during the intermission of a New York Phil- harmonic concert in LA in which the Tchaikovsky Fourth Symphony (with me on piccolo) was on the second half. This interview was done by email during October and November. MINDY KAUFMAN: Let’s start out with your first job, as second flute and later as assistant principal flute and piccolo with the Vancouver Symphony. When and why did you switch over to the piccolo, and how was the transition? SARAH JACKSON: My first professional job was as second flute with the Van- couver Symphony. I was doing postgraduate work at McGill University when I took the audition. I thought, “On one hand a job, and, on the other hand, a degree to get a job.” I took the job. I love playing second flute! I think you have to be even more flexible and intuitive than for principal flute. On second, you can be playing many different roles, or wearing dif- ferent hats as I like to call it, all within one phrase. You have to play one way when you are in unison with the first, soloistic when your line becomes more prominent, and quick on the draw if the principal decides to move the line one way or another. Personally, I think everyone should have to play second before they get a principal job. All that experience in flexibility really paid off when I got a (Cont’d on page 4) In concert Sarah Jackson, piccolo Soyeon Kim, piano Sunday, January 29, 2017, 5:30 pm Engelman Recital Hall, Baruch Performing Arts Center, 55 Lexington Avenue IN THIS ISSUE (entrance on East 25th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues) Pre-concert piccolo masterclass at 4:00 pm Sarah Jackson: Using the Breath Program Interview by Mindy Kaufman.....................1 From the President: Sarah Jackson, All-Star Andante Pastoral and Scherzettino (1907) Paul Taffanel (1844-1908) Piccoloist Three Tibetan Fantasias David Loeb (b. 1939) by Patricia Zuber.....................................2 Les Echos des Bois, Op. 220 Eugene Damaré (1840-1919) Member Profile: David Russell.............................3 Three sketches (2004) Katherine Hoover (b. 1937) The Fauré Pièce: The Backstory by Nancy Toff.................................................5 Pièce (1906) Gabriel Fauré (1845-1908) arr. from Vocalise-étude for voice and piano Buzz for Bart (as in Barthold Kuijken!), Part I: Searching for Knowledge Sonata No. 1 for piccolo and piano (2006) Matt Smith (b. 1984) by Leela Breithaupt....................................7 Program subject to change Announcements Ensemble Program Update....................................2 Sarah Jackson’s appearance is made possible in part by Keefe Piccolos.

    FLUTE MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE YEARS by Katerina Koloustroubis A Senior Honors Project Presented to the Honors College East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation with Honors by Katerina Koloustroubis Greenville, NC May, 2018 Approved by: Dr. Christine Gustafson College of Fine Arts & Communication, School of Music, Instrumental Studies 1 Introduction To fulfill the Senior Honors Project requirements, I have chosen to partake in a senior recital performance of flute works from a range of eras, genres, and styles. As I began my musical journey at the mere age of three, music has played a vital role in shaping my cognitive and emotional status. Not only did piano and ultimately flute studies enhance my overall academic performance through nurturing a hierarchical understanding of notated rhythmic sequences (“Music and Spatial Task Performance” 611), but was a personal means of emotional expression. Thus, for my Senior Honors Project, I have decided to share this passion with an audience through performing a compilation of flute repertoire from a wide range of styles. Not only will this signify a milestone in my 18 years of musical studies, but will provide an enjoyable, emotional experience for the audience members. After all, sharing the soul of a work is the foremost purpose of creating music. This Senior Capstone performance will require me to access my toolbox of skills accumulated through countless lessons, rehearsals, master classes, auditions, competitions, and performances. Not only will this apply to the actual production of flute music, but also performance practices such as etiquette, stage presence, and wearing proper attire.

Mikkelson Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Karen Pierson Copyright by Yoon Hee Kim 2013 Abstract The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition, Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School, and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions. Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor, performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire, as well as a history of NFA-sponsored flute choir (1973–2012) will be included in this document.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Antonio Vivaldi Piccolo Concerto in C Major, RV
    PROGRAM NOTES Antonio Vivaldi Born March 4, 1678, Venice, Italy. Died July 28, 1741, Vienna, Austria. Piccolo Concerto in C Major, RV 443 Details regarding the composition and first performance of this concerto are unknown. The concerto is scored for piccolo and string orchestra with harpsichord. Performance time is approximately twelve minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first performance of Vivaldi's Piccolo Concerto, RV 443 was given on a special June Festival concert at Orchestra Hall on June 9, 1966, with Walfrid Kujala as soloist and Antonio Janigro conducting. Our only previous subscription concert performances of this concerto were given on May 6, 7, and 8, 1982, also with Kujala and with Sir Georg Solti conducting. The Orchestra first performed this work at the Ravinia Festival on July 13, 1969, under Antonio Janigro, and most recently on August 11, 1973, under Lawrence Foster, with Kujala as soloist on both occasions. A 1966 performance of Vivaldi's C major piccolo concerto with Walfrid Kujala as soloist and Antonio Janigro conducting is included in From the Archives, vol. 21. The most original, popular, and influential Italian composer of his time, Vivaldi was very quickly forgotten. Within a hundred years of his death, he had achieved the ultimate fate of most composers—complete oblivion. After he was finally rediscovered in the early twentieth century, and eventually became one of the most performed of all composers again, he often was written off as excessively prolific and facile. Stravinsky famously dismissed his entire career as "the same concerto four hundred times," an assessment that was not just unkind, but also unfair.

  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. 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 Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

  • L'age D'or of the Chamber Wind Ensemble
    L’Age d’or of the Chamber Wind Ensemble A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Ensembles and Conducting Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Danielle D. Gaudry BM, McGill University, 2000 BE, University of Toronto, 2001 MM, The Pennsylvania State University, 2009 Committee Chair: Terence Milligan, DMA ABSTRACT This document presents a narrative history of the chamber wind ensembles led by Paul Taffanel, Georges Barrère and Georges Longy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using different historical approaches, this study examines contemporaneous musical society and the chamber wind ensemble genre to explore the context and setting for the genesis of the Société de musique de chambre pour instruments à vents, the Société moderne des instruments à vents, the Longy Club and the Barrère Ensemble of Wind Instruments. A summary of each ensemble leader’s life and description of the activities of the ensemble, selected repertoire and press reactions towards their performances provide essential insights on each ensemble. In demonstrating their shared origins, ideologies, and similarities in programming philosophies, this document reveals why these chamber wind ensembles created a musical movement, a golden age or age d’or of wind chamber music, affecting the local music scene and continuing to hold influence on today’s performers of wind music. ""!! ! Copyright 2013, Danielle D. Gaudry """! ! ! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all those who have been a part of my journey, both in the completion of this document and over the course of this degree.
