  • The Commissioned Flute Choir Pieces Presented By
    THE COMMISSIONED FLUTE CHOIR PIECES PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE FLUTE CHOIRS AND NFA SPONSORED FLUTE CHOIRS AT NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTIONS WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLUTE CHOIR AND ITS REPERTOIRE 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 Yoon Hee Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Russel C. 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.

  • The Physicality of Sound Production on Acoustic Instruments
    THE PHYSICALITY OF SOUND PRODUCTION ON ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tristan Rhys Williams School of Arts Brunel University September 2010 (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council) Abstract This thesis presents practical research into sound production on instruments, working collaboratively with players, in order to build an understanding of the sounds available. I have explored the way in which instrumental technique can be extended in such a way as to function as the basis for musical material. The function of ‘figuration’ has also be brought into question, by employing seemingly primitive, residual material pushed to such a degree that it is possible to hear what happens underneath a gesture. Research in this area has been conducted by, among others, Helmut Lachenmann and Rebecca Saunders; I am drawn to the way their work highlights the tangible quality of sound. The exploration of the physicality of sound production inevitably encounters the problem that the finished work becomes a catalogue of extended techniques. My research has drawn on the work of these composers and has attempted to resolve this problem by exploring the way in which texture can suggest ‘line’ and the structural implications of sculpting self-referential material through angular and polarized divisions. This facilitates a Braille-like reading of a sound’s progress by foregrounding a non-thematic sound-surface of resonance and decay. This takes a positive and active approach to the problems of musical language, by questioning the functions and expectations put upon music. The possible solutions have been worked through in a series of works for mixed chamber ensembles, in order to investigate the palette possibilities of fusing instruments in intimate settings.

  • 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.

  • An Investigation of Novice Middle and High School Band Directors’ Knowledge of Techniques and Pedagogy Specific to the Horn
    AN INVESTIGATION OF NOVICE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTORS’ KNOWLEDGE OF TECHNIQUES AND PEDAGOGY SPECIFIC TO THE HORN Jennifer B. Daigle A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2006 Committee: Carol Hayward, Co-advisor Andrew Pelletier, Co-advisor Vincent J. Kantorski Charles Saenz © 2006 Jennifer B. Daigle All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Carol Hayward, Advisor The purpose of this study was to determine novice middle school and high school band directors’ knowledge of techniques and pedagogy specific to the horn. Ten band directors currently teaching middle or high school band and who were in their first through fourth year of teaching were interviewed. Questions were derived from current brass methods textbooks and placed in one of the following six categories: (a) collegiate background; (b) teaching background; (c) embouchure, posture and right hand placement; (d) construction of single and double horns; (e) muted, stopped and miscellaneous horn pedagogy; (f) care and maintenance. Findings from this study indicate that novice middle and high school band directors have varying amounts of knowledge and expertise of the horn and, in general, are lacking fundamental knowledge of specific horn techniques. In addition, it appears that directors have more knowledge and understanding of concepts relating to the horn that are common to all brass instruments as opposed to concepts associated specifically with the horn. iv This thesis is dedicated to everyone who has helped inspire and motivate me to make music more than a hobby. I would like to thank family and friends for all their patience and encouragement throughout this process.

Documentation Bibliography………………………………………………………..29 3 Introduction My intent in creating this project was to provide composers of today with a new resource; a technical yet pragmatic guide to writing with extended techniques on the cello. The cello has a wondrously broad spectrum of sonic possibility, yet must be approached in a different way than other string instruments, owing to its construction, playing orientation, and physical mass. Throughout the history of the cello, many resources regarding the core technique of the cello have been published; this book makes no attempt to expand on those sources. Divers resources are also available regarding the cello’s role in orchestration; these books, however, revolve mostly around the use of the instrument as part of a sonically traditional sensibility. The techniques discussed in this book, rather, are the so-called “extended” techniques; those that are comparatively rare in music of the common practice, and usually not involved within the elemental skills of cello playing, save as fringe oddities or practice techniques.

  • The Heyday of the Hand Horn and the Birth of the Valved Horn: a Study of Nineteenth-Century Horn Technique As Revealed in the Solo Works for Horn by Carl Czerny
    118 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL THE HEYDAY OF THE HAND HORN AND THE BIRTH OF THE VALVED HORN: A STUDY OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY HORN TECHNIQUE AS REVEALED IN THE SOLO WORKS FOR HORN BY CARL CZERNY Andrew Clark Rarely has one composer given us so much potential insight into a crucial historical devel- opment of an instrument as that revealed by the works for horn and piano by Carl Czerny. The Introduction and Concertante Variations, Op. 248, written for valved horn ca. 1830 demonstrates Czerny’s knowledge of valve technology, but subsequently he composed for the natural (valveless) horn in the Brilliant Fantasies, Op. 339 (ca. 1836), and the Andante e Polacca (no opus number, 1848). We do not know exactly why he seemed to turn his back on the new development of valves, but we can learn some of his thoughts and feelings about the use of the horn from his School of Practical Composition, Op. 600 (first published 1839). In the English version of 1846 there are several points in the main section on the use of the natural horn, but he refers to brass instruments with valves only in the appendix, where he gives an outline of the “Sax Horn” family. This is how he perceived the duet combining piano and horn, a popular form of nineteenth century salon music: The wind instruments most generally combined with the Pianoforte … are the Flute and the Horn.…The Horn … is especially adapted for calm sus- tained notes, for tender or melancholy ideas, or for an expression of energy and grandeur.… Beethoven, Ries, Hummel and many modern writers have produced distinguished examples.1 Regarding the use of the hand-stopped notes on the natural horn, he informs the reader: In modern times, the Horn has been so greatly improved that the artificial notes sound as well and as firm as the natural ones.2 He adds that the bass notes “are only used slowly and piano,” but fails to follow this advice several times in these works! The Introduction and Concertante Variations is one of the first works ever written for the solo valved horn and piano.
