  • Canções E Modinhas: a Lecture Recital of Brazilian Art Song Repertoire Marcía Porter, Soprano and Lynn Kompass, Piano
    Canções e modinhas: A lecture recital of Brazilian art song repertoire Marcía Porter, soprano and Lynn Kompass, piano As the wealth of possibilities continues to expand for students to study the vocal music and cultures of other countries, it has become increasingly important for voice teachers and coaches to augment their knowledge of repertoire from these various other non-traditional classical music cultures. I first became interested in Brazilian art song repertoire while pursuing my doctorate at the University of Michigan. One of my degree recitals included Ernani Braga’s Cinco canções nordestinas do folclore brasileiro (Five songs of northeastern Brazilian folklore), a group of songs based on Afro-Brazilian folk melodies and themes. Since 2002, I have been studying and researching classical Brazilian song literature and have programmed the music of Brazilian composers on nearly every recital since my days at the University of Michigan; several recitals have been entirely of Brazilian music. My love for the music and culture resulted in my first trip to Brazil in 2003. I have traveled there since then, most recently as a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Universidade de São Paulo. There is an abundance of Brazilian art song repertoire generally unknown in the United States. The music reflects the influence of several cultures, among them African, European, and Amerindian. A recorded history of Brazil’s rich music tradition can be traced back to the sixteenth-century colonial period. However, prior to colonization, the Amerindians who populated Brazil had their own tradition, which included music used in rituals and in other aspects of life.

  • Chopin Research Paper 2
    Leigh Urbschat 5/16/07 Piano in the Age of Chopin Research Paper Viardot’s Adapted Mazurkas: The Link Between Chopin’s Two Styles As a Polish native during the time of revolution, it is no wonder that Chopin’s music expresses nationalistic qualities. His well known mazurkas, polonaises, and ballades are all influenced by traditional Polish folk music. The songs of Chopin, however, are a relatively unknown genre in the composer’s repertoire. It is these songs, especially those that are mazurkas, which exemplify Chopin’s nationalistic feelings to their full extent. In considering Op. 74, however, we find that these songs are not what one would expect of Chopin within this genre. Chopin’s piano music, influenced by 19th century Italian opera, is known for its lyrical quality, chromaticism and complex harmonies. These qualities, which can be heard especially in the piano mazurkas, are significantly diminished in the mazurka songs. In listening to the piano mazurkas and vocal mazurkas one after the other, it seems that if the piano mazurkas were given texts they would become the vocal mazurkas a listener familiar with Chopin’s piano music would expect to hear. This is exactly what Pauline Viardot did with her collection of twelve adapted mazurkas. By fitting texts to Chopin’s piano mazurkas she was able to give listeners the vocal mazurkas that they expected from Chopin. Chopin’s vocal mazurkas, however, stray from the composer’s familiar style in order to stray true to their Polish origins. Chopin follows the guidelines of Józef Elsner’s treatise on vernacular pronunciation and syllabic placement in order to stay true to his Polish roots.1 With the mazurka songs, the importance of metrical structure in the vernacular settings overrides that of harmonic and melodic creativity.

  • INTERPRETING ART SONG USING EDWARD T. CONE's the COMPOSER's VOICE: a PRACTICAL GUIDE for SINGERS by ELISABETH ANNE SLATE
    INTERPRETING ART SONG USING EDWARD T. CONE’S THE COMPOSER’S VOICE: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR SINGERS by ELISABETH ANNE SLATEN (Under the Direction of Emily Gertsch and Frederick Burchinal) ABSTRACT Art song, as a genre, presents significant interpretative problems for the singer. While musical intuition is, by far, the most important interpretative tool, singers can benefit from Edward T. Cone's idea of the persona from The Composer's Voice, since analysis using this theory can lead to fresh and musically supported interpretations. This project will contain three components: 1) a thorough examination of Edward T. Cone's idea of the persona as it applies to art song; 2) a practical guide for singers that explains how to identify and analyze the different personas of songs, and 3) sample analyses that utilize this practical guide using standard undergraduate song repertoire. It is my hope that, through this project, singers may gain an analytical tool that allows them to synthesize analysis and interpretation in order to create compelling performances of art song.

  • Iron Sharpens Iron: Duets for Two Women in the Teaching/Instruction of Undergraduate Women
    IRON SHARPENS IRON: DUETS FOR TWO WOMEN IN THE TEACHING/ INSTRUCTION OF UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN Laurissa Backlin, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2013 APPROVED: Lynn Eustis, Major Professor Richard Sparks, Committee Member Stephen Morscheck, Committee Member Jeffrey Snider, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Backlin, Laurissa. Iron Sharpens Iron: Duets for Two Women in the Teaching/Instruction of Undergraduate Women. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2013, 61 pp., 30 figures, bibliography, 77 titles. Duet literature remains largely untapped as a pedagogical tool in the undergraduate voice studio. This dissertation examines the ways in which eight duets for female voices, although not written primarily for pedagogical use, may be used to teach four main areas of voice technique: intonation, vocal agility, legato singing, and dramatic skills. Duets are chosen primarily from the standard repertoire and are in English, German, French, Italian and Latin. The compositional styles range from the Baroque period through the 20th century. Genres include art song, oratorio, and opera. Each chapter focuses on one of the four vocal skills listed above, and includes examinations of two duets whose vocal writing (rhythm, tessitura, intervals, tempi, and text) make them appropriate candidates for pedagogical use in the improvement of that specific skill. Both male and female teachers of singing may utilize this project as a practical resource and model in how to use other duets, including those for other voice types, for similar purposes in their teaching studio.
