Phd-FLSHASE-2018-21 the Faculty of Language and Literature PhD-FLSHASE-2018-21 The Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education DISSERTATION Defense held on 16/07/2018 in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg to obtain the degree of DOCTEUR DE L’UNIVERSITÉ DU LUXEMBOURG EN SCIENCES DE L’EDUCATION by Demosthenes DIMITRAKOULAKOS Born on 25 May 1979 in New York, USA AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE LIFE AND WORKS OF RICHARD LANE, MEMBER OF THE YOUNG COMPOSERS PROJECT: A COMPARATIVE STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF CHORAL, CHAMBER ENSEMBLE, STRING ORCHESTRA, AND WIND BAND WORKS Dissertation Defense Committee Dr. Damien François Sagrillo, Dissertation Supervisor Assistant-Professor, Université du Luxembourg Dr. Claudine Kirsch, Dissertation Co-Supervisor Assistant-Professor, Université du Luxembourg Dr. Jon Mitchell, Dissertation Co-Supervisor Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts-Boston Dr. Nigel Marshall, External Member Senior Lecturer, University of Sussex Dr. Martin Uhrmacher, Chairperson Assistant-Professor, Université du Luxembourg ii ABSTRACT Richard Lane (1933-2004) was a prolific American composer from Paterson, New Jersey with approximately five-hundred pieces in his oeuvre. The primary research contribution of this study was to stylistically analyze, compare and contrast eight pieces composed by Lane during his career, with a focus on discovering the extent to which Lane developed his stylistic features as an adaptable and eclectic composer. Four of these works were completed early in his career during his two-year residency (1959-1961) in Rochester, New York and Lexington, Kentucky as a member of the Young Composers Project (YCP), while the other four works were completed during the last decade of his life (1994-2004). Choral, chamber ensemble, string orchestra and wind band works were selected to represent a broad overview of Lane’s repertoire for each of these four genres, across educational, community, and professional levels. The theoretical analysis of Lane’s pieces was conducted according to the processes detailed in Jan LaRue’s (1918-2004) Guidelines for Style Analysis, which revolve around five musical elements: sound, harmony, melody, rhythm, and growth.1 In order to introduce, complement and contextualize the style analysis and the development of Lane as a composer, the secondary and tertiary contributions of this study were conducted to produce the first complete biography of Lane, along with the first complete annotated work index of his compositional output. Although one other research study has been conducted relating to Lane’s solo vocal compositional techniques, no other analytical research has been conducted on Lane’s music from other genres, and there is currently no complete biography or complete work index of Lane’s music.2 Therefore, the current study on Lane provides three new research contributions to the literature: 1) stylistic analysis across four genres 2) a complete biography which situates Lane’s entire life’s work, complemented by 3) a complete annotated work index. The current study revealed that Lane wrote from educational through professional levels, combining aspects of Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and Romantic characteristics, alongside other twentieth century tonal compositional styles, including, but not limited to jazz and popular-oriented music. One implication of this study indicates that further research into Lane’s compositional style deserves attention as only eight of his nearly five-hundred pieces are analyzed in detail in this study. The author aims for this study to be a valuable resource for future conductors and performers of Lane’s music. 1 LaRue, Guidelines for Style Analysis (2011). 2 Bender, “Three American Composers from the Young Composers Project: Style Analysis of Selected Works by Emma Lou Diemer, Donald Martin Jenni and Richard Lane” (PhD diss., New York University, 1988). iii Dedicated to the memory of Richard Lane 3 3 Klingenschmid, Richard Lane (1995). iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Richard Lane. Without his profound influence on my life, I most likely would not have had the opportunity to be exposed to such an inspirational person and talented composer who merits further study. I want to thank Richard Lane for not only inspiring me to love music, but life as well. Richard Lane was not only my teacher, not only my mentor, but family, and I will always remember him as my “Uncle,” which is what I called him. I want to thank publisher Jean-Pierre Mathez and Editions Bim for their continued sincere support in promoting Richard Lane’s music. Jean-Pierre has been one of Lane’s strongest supporters, although he never met him. Jean-Pierre has encountered Lane only through his music and I am indebted to him for his continuous pursuit in sharing Lane’s music and legacy. Jean- Pierre’s guidance and wisdom has assisted me immensely. Credit is given to Editions Bim, Carl Fischer, and Mills Music for the use of score extracts. I would also like to thank Bob Rheinhardt, the executor of Richard Lane’s estate, who has supported me in my research relating to Lane. My sincere gratitude goes to my dissertation committee, Damien François Sagrillo, Claudine Kirsch, and Jon Mitchell. I am very thankful and appreciative to them for their continued support and guidance throughout the dissertation process. I must thank my dear friend and former colleague Pat Ebhohimen at the International School of Luxembourg for her proofreading, and acute sense of detecting errors and offering suggestions to improve my writing. I must also sincerely thank Adam Fontana (Bethel College), Douglas Reeves (Creative Leadership Solutions) and Vincent Cee (International School of Kuala Lumpur/Boston University) for the constructive feedback they provided for me to improve my study. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge my family, especially my parents for instilling in me a passion for music and for supporting my musical endeavors. I vividly remember my first concert at Carnegie Hall with my father as well as my first rock concert with my mother! My deepest gratitude goes to my wife who has offered her support, understanding, patience and encouragement throughout my doctoral studies and the dissertation process. I acknowledge that the use of American English was deliberately chosen for this study as an overwhelming majority of the sources and original quoted material were American in nature. v TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE: PERSONAL LINK .................................................................................................... 1 Contextualization .................................................................................................................... 1 Importance ............................................................................................................................. 3 Objectivity ............................................................................................................................... 4 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................. 5 Contributions of Study ............................................................................................................ 5 Need for Study ....................................................................................................................... 5 Related Literature Review .....................................................................................................11 Methodology ..........................................................................................................................22 Selection of Pieces ................................................................................................................24 Style Analysis ........................................................................................................................28 Biography ..............................................................................................................................33 Work Index ............................................................................................................................34 Limitations .............................................................................................................................37 Summary ...............................................................................................................................38 CHAPTER 2: BIOGRAPHY .......................................................................................................39 Childhood and Early Music Training ......................................................................................39 The Eastman Years and Connections ...................................................................................41 The Viola and the Impact of the Army ....................................................................................52 Young Composers Project: 1959-1961 ..................................................................................59 Post-YCP ..............................................................................................................................68 Educational Music .................................................................................................................69 Community Music ..................................................................................................................76 Professional and Semi-professional Music ............................................................................80

  • String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83
    String Quartet in E minor, op 83 A quartet in three movements for two violins, viola and cello: 1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto. Approximate Length: 30 minutes First Performance: Date: 21 May 1919 Venue: Wigmore Hall, London Performed by: Albert Sammons, W H Reed - violins; Raymond Jeremy - viola; Felix Salmond - cello Dedicated to: The Brodsky Quartet Elgar composed two part-quartets in 1878 and a complete one in 1887 but these were set aside and/or destroyed. Years later, the violinist Adolf Brodsky had been urging Elgar to compose a string quartet since 1900 when, as leader of the Hallé Orchestra, he performed several of Elgar's works. Consequently, Elgar first set about composing a String Quartet in 1907 after enjoying a concert in Malvern by the Brodsky Quartet. However, he put it aside when he embarked with determination on his long-delayed First Symphony. It appears that the composer subsequently used themes intended for this earlier quartet in other works, including the symphony. When he eventually returned to the genre, it was to compose an entirely fresh work. It was after enjoying an evening of chamber music in London with Billy Reed’s quartet, just before entering hospital for a tonsillitis operation, that Elgar decided on writing the quartet, and he began it whilst convalescing, completing the first movement by the end of March 1918. He composed that first movement at his home, Severn House, in Hampstead, depressed by the war news and debilitated from his operation. By May, he could move to the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.

  • Tertis's Viola Version of Elgar's Cello Concerto by Anthony Addison Special to Clevelandclassical
    Preview Heights Chamber Orchestra conductor's notes: Tertis's viola version of Elgar's Cello Concerto by Anthony Addison Special to ClevelandClassical An old adage suggested that violists were merely vio- linists-in-decline. That was before Lionel Tertis! He was born in 1876 of musical parents who had come to England from Poland and Russia and, at three years old, he started playing the piano. At six he performed in public, but had to be locked in a room to make him practice, a procedure that has actually fostered many an international virtuoso. At thirteen, with the agree- ment of his parents, he left home to earn his living in music playing in pickup groups at summer resorts, accompanying a violinist, and acting as music attendant at a lunatic asylum. +41:J:-:/1?<1>95@@1041?@A0510-@(>5:5@E;88131;2!A?5/@-75:3B5;85:-?45?

Fate intervened when fellow stu- dents wanted to form a string quartet. Tertis volunteered to play viola, borrowed an in- strument, loved the rich quality of its lowest string and thereafter turned the old adage up- side down: a not very obviously gifted violinist becoming a world class violist. But, until the viola attained respectability in Tertis’s hands, composers were reluctant to write for the instrument.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Cello Concerto. Creating a Classic
    Cello Concerto. Creating a Classic How Elgar Came to Write the Concerto Most of Elgar's music was written between 1890 and 1914, part of the flowering of European art that preceded the Great War. The Enigma variations, Gerontius and the two symphonies belong to the same world as the poetry of Yeats and Rilke, the plays of Galsworthy and Shaw, the music of Strauss and Puccini. All of these artists created new works after 1914, but the world they came from, and which had nourished them, was gone. The scale of the war was apocalyptic, and, before it happened, few people had thought such destruction were even possible. In Britain, for example, the public's notion of modern warfare had been formed by the Boer War, in which 22,000 British troops had died over a period of two-and-a-half years. In this new conflict, nearly that many British soldiers were killed on a single day: July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Over the course of four years, more than 900,000 people from Britain and the Empire countries lost their lives - not only men, but women, too, serving as nurses. Submarines and long-range artillery made no exceptions on grounds of gender. Even as the conflict raged, many people recognized that they were now living in a changed society. Writing in 1916, D.H. Lawrence felt that two thousand years of civilisation were collapsing before his eyes: "so much beauty and pathos of old things passing away and no new things coming: my God, it breaks my soul." These were the circumstances when Edward Elgar checked into a London nursing home in March of 1918 to have his tonsils removed.
