  • The Harmony of Debussy in Contemporary Jazz Brigham
    THE HARMONY OF DEBUSSY IN CONTEMPORARY JAZZ BRIGHAM PHILLIPS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY, 2018 © BRIGHAM PHILLIPS, 2018 ABSTRACT Claude Debussy and other late 19th-century composers (especially Maurice Ravel) introduced several new harmonic innovations that have since become standard tools of the jazz composer/arranger/improviser, among them the rich harmonies of chromatically altered chords as well as the use of the whole tone, pentatonic and octatonic scales. This thesis presents an original composition The Stanley Bridge Suite that demonstrates ​ ​ how these harmonic concepts are used in modern orchestral jazz. A brief history of impressionism is included, followed by a chapter showing the increasing prevalence of impressionist harmony in jazz over the years. Because The Stanley Bridge Suite was arranged for ​ ​ an orchestral jazz ensemble the makeup of the modern jazz orchestra is also discussed. The final chapter analyzes the thesis composition in detail, showing where and how the various Debussy techniques were incorporated in the work. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professors Al Henderson and Dr. Mark Chambers for their guidance and assistance. I would also like to acknowledge and thank my parents for giving me the gift of music and encouraging my choice to make a living as a professional musician. My father, recently deceased, always hoped I would pursue a Masters Degree in Music one day. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, daughter and son for encouraging me to go on this Masters journey and for putting up with my frequent absence from their lives while doing so.

  • Nsftmc@Soundings—Notes
    nSFTMC@Soundings—Notes The San Francisco Tape Music Center (SFTMC) is quite a notable and influential institution in the history of electronic and experimental music in the United States, and came into being through the efforts of a small group of composers working in the Bay Area who were looking to gather resources and create venues for their work. Today the names of those involved in its founding read as a list of luminaries of the American Experimental tradition: Ramon Sender, Morton Subotnick, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, Anthony Martin. The SFTMC began its life in 1961 as an improvised, cooperative studio in the attic of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music—made up of a pool of tape-composition equipment, no more than six audio oscillators and some tape recorders. By 1962 the SFTMC had found its way out of the attic to more suitable locations, eventually residing at 321 Divisidero where Steve Reich created his landmark It’s Gonna Rain (1965). During this time there was also a relationship with Berkeley’s KPFA, founded by Korean War pacifists in 1949 and famously investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee and the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee for “subversion”. (Sound-poet, composer Charles Amirkhanian was Music Director of KPFA from 1969 to 1992—but as we shall see, this was after SFTMC had ended as an institution.) 1966 saw a relationship with the SFTMC and Don Buchla develop, which eventually lead to creation of Buchla’s modular synthesizer. (Tonight we’ll hear the fruitful outcome of that collaboration in Subotnick’s music.) 1966 was also the end of the SFTMC through the acceptance of a grant for $15,000 to become the Mills Tape Music Center (MTMC) at Mills College across the bay in Oakland.
