  • A Study of Vocal Influences in Robert Schumann's
    WHEN CONCERTO MEETS SONG CYCLE: A STUDY OF VOCAL INFLUENCES IN ROBERT SCHUMANN’S CELLO CONCERTO IN A MINOR, OP. 129, WITH REFERENCE TO HIS DICHTERLIEBE, OP. 48 BY KA-WAI YU THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Cello Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Assistant Professor Reynold Tharp, Chair and Director of Research Assistant Professor Christina Bashford Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch Assistant Professor Brandon Vamos Associate Professor Ann Yeung © Copyright by Ka-Wai Yu, 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis responds to the long-existing doubts, prejudices and mixed critical views about the value of Schumann’s Cello Concerto and his late music with new ideas and possibly answers. It focuses on analyzing influences from Schumann’s vocal music in the concerto. Dichterliebe, Op. 48, which is one of Schumann’s most successful song cycles and reflects the composer’s mature vocal style, will be used as a reference throughout the thesis, besides examples from Schumann’s other early and late vocal works. The analysis of the concerto is divided into four main sections: structure, tonality, rhetoric, and orchestration. The first section examines how the musical material and sections/movements in the concerto are organically connected like the structure of a song cycle through studying the miniature scale of the work, cyclic recurrences of thematic material, structural unity and ambiguity, fragmentation, and possible song form in the concerto. The second part is an analysis of the concerto’s tonal and harmonic language.

Often depicted in history books as the age of the Lied, the early nineteenth century was also the age of the Chorgesang, creating a demand for music for social gatherings. Amateur choruses and partsinging reached their peak of popularity in nineteenth-century Germany.

    SINGING AND THE TROMBONE: TRANSCRIPTIONS OF SELECTED VOCAL WORKS BY MONTEVERDI, SCHUBERT, SCHUMANN, WOLF, AND BRITTEN By © 2018 Mark E. Sweeney Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ______________________________ Chairperson: Michael Davidson ______________________________ Paul Stevens ______________________________ Brad Osborn ______________________________ Paul W. Popiel ______________________________ Martin Bergee Date Defended: 5/8/2018 The Lecture Recital Committee for Mark E. Sweeney certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: SINGING AND THE TROMBONE: TRANSCRIPTIONS OF SELECTED VOCAL WORKS BY MONTEVERDI, SCHUMANN, WOLF, AND BRITTEN ______________________________ Chairperson: Michael Davidson Date Approved: 5/8/2018 ii ABSTRACT The trombone has been able to blend with voices well since its invention due to its timbre, articulations, full chromaticism, and potential for perfect intonation. Composers used the instrument to double and fortify vocal writing during the end of the fifteenth-century and continued doing so into the nineteenth-century. During the first half of the twentieth-century teachers like Emory Remington began to teach the instrument with a singing approach. This directly counteracted the aggressive and non-legato playing commonly used at the time. To facilitate this singing approach, vocalise etude books like the Melodious Etudes transcriptions of Giulio Marco Bordogni entered the trombone’s standard course of study. Because of the decades of the proven effectiveness of studying vocal music, other teachers like Arnold Jacobs and Charles Vernon continued the tradition of singing and brass playing in the second half of the twentieth-century.

    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date:___________________ I, _________________________________________________________, hereby submit this work as part of the requirements for the degree of: in: It is entitled: This work and its defense approved by: Chair: _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ Themes of Childhood: A Study of Robert Schumann’s Piano Music for Children A doctoral document submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS In the Keyboard Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2006 By DONG XU B.M., Central Conservatory of Music, China, 1996 M.M., Eastman School of Music, 1999 Committee Chair: Frank Weinstock ABSTRACT Robert Schumann’s piano music for children, including the Kinderszenen, Album for the Young, Waldszenen, Three Piano Sonatas for the Young, and three piano duets Twelve Four-Hand Piano Pieces for Small and Big Children, Ball Scenes, and Children’s Ball, has remained the most characteristic and successful example of his engagement with the theme of childhood, a popular topic in Romantic art and culture. Although the techniques required within these collections are not as difficult as those found in Schumann’s other piano works, they embrace some of the finest and most rewarding instances of Schumann’s piano writing, and demonstrate their innermost poetic quality and evocative imagination. The purpose of this document is to explore the expressiveness of these works by revealing the sources of their emotional content, their musical originality and characteristics through a historical study and musical analysis. The first chapter addresses Schumann’s personal and family life and the influence of childhood on him to explain why the theme could have affected his affinity for music related to children.

  • Celebrate Beethoven Catalogue Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770–1827)
    CELEBRATE BEETHOVEN CATALOGUE LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770–1827) Born in Bonn in 1770, the eldest son of a singer in the Kapelle of the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne and grandson of the Archbishop’s Kapellmeister, Beethoven moved in 1792 to Vienna. There he had some lessons from Haydn and others, quickly establishing himself as a remarkable keyboard player and original composer. By 1815 increasing deafness had made public performance impossible and accentuated existing eccentricities of character, patiently tolerated by a series of rich patrons and his royal pupil the Archduke Rudolph. Beethoven did much to enlarge the possibilities of music and widen the horizons of later generations of composers. To his contemporaries he was sometimes a controversial figure, making heavy demands on listeners by both the length and the complexity of his writing, as he explored new fields of music. Beethoven’s monumental contribution to Western classical music is celebrated here in this definitive collection marking the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth. ThisCELEBRATE BEETHOVEN catalogue contains an impressive collection of works by this master composer across the Naxos Music Group labels.
