Daha gençlik yıllarında önemli bir besteci olarak “Fransız Altıları”ndan birisi olmayı ba şarmı ştır. Ba şta Dmitri Shostakovich olmak üzere bazı bestecilere örnek olan Honegger, ya şamı boyunca ini şli-çıkı şlı dönemler ya şamı ş fakat her türlü durumda gererek büyük bir özveri ile çalışmı ş, sürekli eser üretmi ştir. Üretti ği eserlerde, birçok akımın özelliklerini kendi sanat vizyonu ile harmanlamı ş, klasik formlara yeni boyutlar kazandırmı ş ve kendi müzikal kimli ğini olu şturmu ştur. Hayranı oldu ğu Bach’ı ve Beethoven’ı sürekli olarak, Claude Debussy’yi de daha çok gençlik yıllarında örnek almı ştır. Bunlardan dolayı Honegger’in müzikal anlayı şı biraz karma şıktır. Bu karma şıklık, yazmı ş oldu ğu “Viyolonsel Konçertosu”na da yansımı ştır. Bestecinin viyolonsel konçertosunun konu edildi ği bu çalı şmanın ilk bölümünde Arthur Honegger’in hayatı, müzik stili ve klasik formlara getirdi ği yenilikler ele alınmı ştır. İkinci bölümde, eserin form açısından incelemesi yapılmı ş ve eserin seslendirilmesine yönelik öneriler sunulmu ştur. Günümüzde nadir olarak seslendirilen bu eser, konçerto formu, sonat formu ve 20. yüzyılda sık kullanılan blok teknik kullanılarak yazılmı ştır. Oldukça renkli ve zengin tınılara sahiptir. Ayrıca solistik açıdan oldukça zor pasajları da içinde bulundurur. Bu çalı şma, Honegger’in ya şamını, müzikal anlayı şını ve “Viyolonsel Konçertosu”nu detaylı bir şekilde incelemek amacıyla yazılmı ştır. Türkiye’de çok bilinmeyen Arthur Honegger hakkında günümüze kadar sadece bir Türkçe lisansüstü metin çalı şması yapıldı ğı, “Viyolonsel Konçertosu”nun ise hiç incelenmedi ği için bu çalı şmanın önemli oldu ğu dü şünülmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Arthur Honegger, viyolonsel, çello, konçerto iii ABSTRACT Writer’s Name and Surname : Ali Kaan KAPLAN University : Uluda ğ University Institute : Institute of Social Sciences Field : Music Branch : String Instruments Degree : Master Number of Pages : xii+112 Degree Date : .../..../2015 Supervisor : Prof. İsmail GÖ ĞÜŞ ARTHUR HONEGGER’S MUSIC AND HIS CELLO CONCERTO Arthur Honegger is one of the prominent composers of the 20th century although he is not very well known. He succeeded to become one of the “French Six” as an important composer even at his youth. Honegger who was a model for some composers especially for Dmitri Schostakovich, lived a life with struggles but in any case worked hard and produced pieces continuously. In his works, he combined properties of various approaches with his vision of art, he added new dimentions to classical forms and created his own musical identity. He followed Bach and Beethoven who he admired forever and Debussy mostly when he was young. That’s why his musical interpretation is a little bit confusing. This confusion is reflected in his “Cello Concerto” In the first part of this work which has been mentioned composer’s cello concerto, Arthur Honegger’s life, music style and the novelties he brought to classical forms are explained. In the second part, “Cello Concerto” is analyzed in terms of form and suggestions for playing are presented. This work which is rarely performed today, was written using concerto form, sonata form and block technique which was often used in the 20th century. It has quite colorful and rich timbres and also quite difficult passages in terms of soloistic performance. This work was written in order to analyze Honegger’s life, musical interpretation and his “Cello Concerto” in details. It is thought that, this work has an importance since only one Turkish master work has been written about Honegger who is not really recognized in Turkey and his “Cello Concerto” hasn’t been analyed so far. Keywords: Arthur Honegger, violoncello, cello, concerto iv ÖNSÖZ 20. yüzyılın önemli bestecilerinden olan Arthur Honegger, ya şamı boyunca birçok önemli esere imza atmı ştır. Her ne kadar günümüzde çok sık icra edilmese de, “Do Majör Viyolonsel Konçertosu” da bu önemli eserlerden bir tanesidir. Bu metin çalı şması, söz konusu konçertonun form analizini ve konçertoyla ilgili çe şitli seslendirme önerilerini kapsamaktadır. Türkiye’de bu eserle ilgili yazılan ilk kapsamlı ara ştırma olması dolayısıyla, bu metin çalı şmasının müzik okullarında hem ö ğretim elemanları hem de ö ğrenciler için faydalı bir kaynak olaca ğı dü şünülmektedir.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: Eugene Osadchy, Major Professor Clay Couturiaux, Minor Professor David Schwarz, Committee Member Daniel Arthurs, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies James Scott, Dean of the School of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kleinmann, Denika Lam. An Analysis of Honegger’s Cello Concerto (1929): A Return to Simplicity? Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 58 pp., 3 tables, 28 examples, 33 references, 15 titles. Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.

So true is this that I cannot imagine what my life would be without all the bonds that bind me in loyalty and devotion to Italy and to my Italian friends. 13 June 1959 letter from Thompson to Alfredo Trinchieri Thompson always makes you think there is nothing as beautiful, as rich, or as varied as the sounds of the human voice.

Whiting, Co-Chair Professor Albrecht Riethmüller, Freie Universität Berlin, Co-Chair Professor Roland J. Wiley Professor Michael D. Bonner Associate Professor Mark A. Clague © 2010 Timothy David Freeze All rights reserved To Grit ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The road leading to the completion of this dissertation was longer and more scenic than I ever intended it to be. It is a great pleasure to acknowledge here the many individuals and organizations that provided support and encouragement along the way. I am especially grateful to the co-chairs of my committee. Without the unflagging support of Steven M. Whiting, whose sage counsel on matters musical and practical guided me from start to finish, this project would not have been possible. I am equally indebted to Albrecht Riethmüller, whose insight and intellectual example were a beacon by whose light this dissertation took shape. I would also like to thank R. John Wiley, whose extensive and penetrating feedback improved the dissertation and my own thinking in countless ways, and Mark Clague and Michael Bonner, both of whom provided valuable comments on content and style. In Ann Arbor, I would like to acknowledge the support of the entire musicology faculty at the University of Michigan. Louise K. Stein gave helpful advice in the early stages of this project. In Berlin, I benefited from conversations with Federico Celestini, Sherri Jones, and Peter Moormann.

  • By James O'leary
    by James O'Leary A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in the Department of Music WILLIAMS COLLEGE Williamstown, Massachusetts May 20,2004 Nothing happens in a vacuum, including theses. First, I need to thank my friends who have endured ceaseless talk of Ravel, Surrealism, and deadlines. Jacob, Lili, Laura, and Liz have not only offered brilliant suggestions, but have also offered steadfast support (and a welcome willingness to procrastinate at the drop of a hat). Second, I must express sincere appreciation to Professor Hirsch, Professor Bloxam, and Professor Newman who have spent so much time offering their invaluable advice, be it on tackling Piano Concertos, pronouncing umlauts, or handling the senior year jitters. To my family, who hears it the least but deserves it the most, I owe undying gratitude. They have made many sacrifices so I could attend Williams, and throughout my four years they have been unshakably supportive and generous. Mom, Dad, Mike, Scott- thank you. Finally, I owe infinite gratitude to Professor Sheppard. Brilliant, kind, and inspiring, Professor Sheppard has completely reshaped the way I hear music in just four fast years, broadening my musical knowledge to include vastly different artistic movements and a wide array of different cultures.
