Proton Nmr Spectroscopy
1H NMR Spectroscopy (#1c) The technique of 1H NMR spectroscopy is central to organic chemistry and other fields involving analysis of organic chemicals, such as forensics and environmental science. It is based on the same principle as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This laboratory exercise reviews the principles of interpreting 1H NMR spectra that you should be learning right now in Chemistry 302. There are four questions you should ask when you are trying to interpret an NMR spectrum. Each of these will be discussed in detail. The Four Questions to Ask While Interpreting Spectra 1. How many different environments are there? The number of peaks or resonances (signals) in the spectrum indicates the number of nonequivalent protons in a molecule. Chemically equivalent protons (magnetically equivalent protons) give the same signal in the NMR whereas nonequivalent protons give different signals. 1 For example, the compounds CH3CH3 and BrCH2CH2Br all have one peak in their H NMR spectra because all of the protons in each molecule are equivalent. The compound below, 1,2- dibromo-2-methylpropane, has two peaks: one at 1.87 ppm (the equivalent CH3’s) and the other at 3.86 ppm (the CH2). 1.87 1.87 ppm CH 3 3.86 ppm Br Br CH3 1.87 ppm 3.86 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 2. How many 1H are in each environment? The relative intensities of the signals indicate the numbers of protons that are responsible for individual signals. The area under each peak is measured in the form of an integral line. -
Dismantling the Time: a Theoretical and Practical Basis for Sinusoidal Deconstruction
Dismantling the time: a theoretical and practical basis for sinusoidal deconstruction Ángel Arranz Master Thesis Institute of Sonology Royal Conservatory of The Hague 2008 Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the thought, flying to the imagination, charm to the sadness, bliss and life to everything. (Plato) Aeterna Renovatio 2 Abstract “The basic purpose of this project is to build an auto-conductive non-harmonic musical system with nine instrumental parts and/or a live electronics field. One of the main properties is dispensability: any of the parts may be omitted without damage in the macrostructure. As the absence of some parts as the combinatorial variability of them do not affect the musical efficacy of the composition. Such a system will be possible thanks to the observation of some compositional conductive models of the past (Flemish polyphony) and some more present, as Xenakis’s stochastic music. Fundamentally, this task is made by means of ‘seeds’, minimal elemental shapes, which create the macro and micro levels of the work. In the first level of the composition, the macroform level, the seeds are implemented in a computer-assisted composition environment using the AC Toolbox program, where a graphics-based grammar is set on a discourse that is drawn in a unique stochastic gesture and later deconstructed. In the second level of composition, the microform level, the seed’s data are used as a controller of electronic gestures implemented in the Max/MSP program. The principal purpose of this level will be to enlarge the compositional domain and give an opportunity of extension to the physical possibilities of instruments, driving it towards the micro-sounds and other parallel temporal processes and having their own self-sufficient process inside the work”. -
Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: an Overview and Performance Guide
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide A PROJECT DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Saxophone Performance By Thomas Michael Snydacker EVANSTON, ILLINOIS JUNE 2019 2 ABSTRACT Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide Thomas Snydacker The saxophone has long been an instrument at the forefront of new music. Since its invention, supporters of the saxophone have tirelessly pushed to create a repertoire, which has resulted today in an impressive body of work for the yet relatively new instrument. The saxophone has found itself on the cutting edge of new concert music for practically its entire existence, with composers attracted both to its vast array of tonal colors and technical capabilities, as well as the surplus of performers eager to adopt new repertoire. Since the 1970s, one of the most eminent and consequential styles of contemporary music composition has been spectralism. The saxophone, predictably, has benefited tremendously, with repertoire from Gérard Grisey and other founders of the spectral movement, as well as their students and successors. Spectral music has continued to evolve and to influence many compositions into the early stages of the twenty-first century, and the saxophone, ever riding the crest of the wave of new music, has continued to expand its body of repertoire thanks in part to the influence of the spectralists. The current study is a guide for modern saxophonists and pedagogues interested in acquainting themselves with the saxophone music of the spectralists. -
Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays. -

Guide to Repertoire
Guide to Repertoire The chamber music repertoire is both wonderful and almost endless. Some have better grips on it than others, but all who are responsible for what the public hears need to know the landscape of the art form in an overall way, with at least a basic awareness of its details. At the end of the day, it is the music itself that is the substance of the work of both the performer and presenter. Knowing the basics of the repertoire will empower anyone who presents concerts. Here is a run-down of the meat-and-potatoes of the chamber literature, organized by instrumentation, with some historical context. Chamber music ensembles can be most simple divided into five groups: those with piano, those with strings, wind ensembles, mixed ensembles (winds plus strings and sometimes piano), and piano ensembles. Note: The listings below barely scratch the surface of repertoire available for all types of ensembles. The Major Ensembles with Piano The Duo Sonata (piano with one violin, viola, cello or wind instrument) Duo repertoire is generally categorized as either a true duo sonata (solo instrument and piano are equal partners) or as a soloist and accompanist ensemble. For our purposes here we are only discussing the former. Duo sonatas have existed since the Baroque era, and Johann Sebastian Bach has many examples, all with “continuo” accompaniment that comprises full partnership. His violin sonatas, especially, are treasures, and can be performed equally effectively with harpsichord, fortepiano or modern piano. Haydn continued to develop the genre; Mozart wrote an enormous number of violin sonatas (mostly for himself to play as he was a professional-level violinist as well). -
Memorandum LIBRARY of CONGRESS
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 5JSC/LC/12 TO: Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA DATE: February 6, 2008 FROM: Barbara B. Tillett, LC Representative SUBJECT: Proposed revision of RDA chap. 6, Additional instructions for musical works and expressions The Library of Congress is submitting rule revision proposals for the RDA December 2007 draft chapter 6 instructions for musical works and expressions. Goals of proposals 1. To maintain the additional instructions for music intact (although LC recommends integrating them with the general instructions after the first release of RDA). 2. To fill in gaps in the AACR2 rules carried over into RDA by a. Incorporating selected AACR2 rule revisions; b. Adding instructions that clarify, make explicit, or expand some principles and instructions carried over from AACR2; c. Proposing new instructions. 3. To simplify some unnecessarily complex instructions. 4. To arrange certain subsections in the six major instructions in a more logical way, based wherever possible on principles that group together types of resources having common characteristics. 5. To revise the instructions for medium of performance to provide for all media found in resources and to do that using vocabulary that adheres as closely as possible to the principle of representation: incorporating words the composer or resource uses. 6. To revise or eliminate instructions LC finds unworkable based on past experience with AACR2 (e.g., the instructions for key (6.22) in section M of this document). 7. In the interest of simplification, to eliminate vexing terms catalogers have spent inordinate amounts of time interpreting when using AACR2 (e.g., “type of composition” as a formal term when all it need be is a useful phrase; “score order”). -
The Dutch Connection Text Booklet
The Dutch Connection: from Utrechtsch Sextet to Hexagon Ensemble The sextet consisting of five wind instruments and piano is a colourful combination that has inspired many composers. In the 1920s there were even two professional wind sextets in the Netherlands: the Utrechtsch Sextet and the Concertgebouw Sextet. In the Concertgebouw one can still see a large painting in memory of the latter ensemble, portraying the five solo wind players from the Concertgebouw Orchestra and pianist Evert Cornelis who were members of the ensemble around 1920. Besides these sextets, there was an even larger number of wind quintets in the Netherlands. Often these ensembles were made up of first-desk wind players from symphony orchestras. For many years there were ensembles consisting of members from the Residentie Orchestra of The Hague and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. The best known Dutch wind quintet is the Danzi Quintet, an ensemble that from the 1950s held a prominent place in Dutch music life for a long time. The ensemble not only performed music from around 1800, but also that of contemporary composers such as Jan van Vlijmen, Ton de Leeuw and Peter Schat. Some of these wind quintets were regularly augmented with a pianist in order to play sextets. The Dutch Connection is a tribute by the Hexagon Ensemble to the Dutch composers who have written sextets, as well as to the ensemble’s predecessors who performed the works. Willem Pijper (1894-1947) wrote his Sextet in the winter of 1922-1923 for the Utrechtsch Sextet, of which he was the pianist. The five wind players were first-desk players of the Utrechtsch City Orchestra. -
