Thanks go to my parents and my brother for always supporting and encouraging my endeavors in music. I would also like to thank Edward Carroll, Vince DiMartino, and Edward Tarr for their assistance and input on this project. Special thanks go to Dr. Amy Gilreath, Trumpet Professor at Illinois State University and Dr. Bruce Briney, Trumpet Professor at Western Illinois University, who took the time to provide me with copies of their own dissertations, which helped me to gather even more information on my topic. Special thanks also go to the members of my graduate committee, Prof. Michelle Stebleton, and Dr. James Croft and Dr. John Drew for their guidance and assistance. I would like to give special recognition to my major professor, Bryan Goff, who not only toiled tediously over several revisions of my treatise, but who also assisted with helping take care of much paperwork necessary to graduate for me as I was roughly 1,300 miles away in Texas. A very special thank you is extended to my good friend and colleague, Scott Beckett, who assisted with some of the computer-related issues pertaining to this treatise, helped to keep me sane during my doctoral work with some rousing racquetball matches (which he would usually win) and a never-ending supply of fine wine and cigars, and who I love, trust, and respect like my own brother. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge a very special and dear person to me, Emily Pledger, who has inspired me more than she will ever know through her passion for teaching, music, and life. You have truly opened my eyes to happiness, Emily, and I want to thank you for that. I love you. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables……………………………………………………………... vi List of Musical Examples………………………………………………… vii Abstract…………………………………………………………………… xi Chapter Page INTRODUCTION.……………………………………………………. 1 1.
