    Works by John Cage, Lou Harrison, Christopher Rouse, Eugene Kurtz, Irwin Bazelon, J.Verplanck New World 80382-2 by Eric Salzman Rhythm is the starting point. Along with the sound of the human voice, the music of rhythm is as old as music itself. The sound of a woodpecker is a drum tattoo.The great apes drum, as well as vocalize. The human infant is cradled by the mother's heartbeat even before birth. Drums and percussion have always been an essential part of music and life throughout the world, except in Western art music of the past few centuries. Only in recent years has the percussion ensemble taken its rightful place along with the more familiar string, wind, and brass ensembles in Western music. The new percussion music has roots in three fairly distinct places: non-Western music, mostly Asian; jazz and related Afro-Latin forms; and the experimental music movements, both pre- and post- World War II. All of these influences are represented on this album. In the 1930s and again in the 1970s, the American avant-garde turned its attention from pure experimentation to more accessible forms of music-making and, at the same time, opened itself to non-Western—especially Eastern—influence. Led by the Californian Henry Cowell and his West Coast disciples John Cage and Lou Harrison, this underground, orientalizing avantgarde of the Thirties and Forties has long-term links with the minimalists and post-modernists of more recent vintage. John Cage was born in Los Angeles in 1912 and studied with Cowell, Arnold Schoenberg, and Adolph Weiss; Edgard Varèse was also a major influence, particularly in the area of percussion music.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2016 APPROVED: Mark Ford, Major Professor Joseph Klein, Relative Field Professor David Bard-Schwarz, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies and Dean of the College of Music Douglass, Mark Samuel. Orchestra Bells as a Chamber and Solo Instrument: A Survey of Works by Steve Reich, Morton Feldman, Franco Donatoni, Robert Morris, Marta Ptaszyńska, Will Ogdon, Stuart Saunders Smith, Lafayette Gilchrist and Roscoe Mitchell. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2016, 96 pp., 73 musical examples, 11 figures, references, 59 titles. This dissertation considers the use of orchestra bells as a solo instrument. I use three examples taken from chamber literature (Drumming by Steve Reich, Why Patterns? by Morton Feldman, and Ave by Franco Donatoni) to demonstrate uses of the instrument in an ensemble setting. I use six solo, unaccompanied orchestra bell pieces (Twelve Bell Canons by Robert Morris, Katarynka by Marta Ptaszyńska, Over by Stuart Saunders Smith, A Little Suite and an Encore Tango by Will Ogdon, Breaks Through by Lafayette Gilchrist, and Bells for New Orleans by Roscoe Mitchell) to illustrate the instrument’s expressive, communicative ability. In the discussion of each piece, I include brief background information, the composer’s m usical language in the piece and performance considerations. I interviewed composers of these solo works to complete the research for this document to discuss their musical language and their thoughts on writing for solo orchestra bells.
