Folk songs mirror people’s daily lives, their thoughts and sentiments, local customs and manners. In China, folk music and songs have traditionally crisscrossed the established boundaries between high and low culture. Folk songs were historically valued by China's officialdom as expressions of regional culture and transmitters of timeless value. Early dynasties promoted the collection and study of such songs. The Book of Songs, a Confucian classic dating back to ancient times, is a comprehensive anthology of songs and poems that has profoundly influenced Chinese literature for more than 2000 years. There are three main forms of Chinese folk songs: shan ge, or mountain songs, are sung in the open air, often with long trills that can carry over great distances; hao zi, or working songs, are simple tunes with strong rhythms sung by workmen to accompany their labour; xiao diao, more structured and sophisticated, are arranged and performed by professional and semi-professional musicians for entertainment. The eight Chinese folk songs arranged for string quartet are from different regions in various styles. In Driving the Mule (Shaanxi) a young girl searches for her boyfriend among a team of mule drivers passing by; the melody is typical of the Shaanxi style with many fourth and minor seventh intervals. In the sentimental Leaving Home (Shanxi), a wife bids farewell to her husband who is going westward to seek his livelihood. In A Horseherds Mountain Song (Yunnan) a horseherd sings about the mundane occurrences of daily life — horses needing grass to feed, and the grass needing the morning dew to grow. String Quartet, Op. 10 By Claude Debussy Claude Debussy sought a new kind of musical language, something that would both build upon and go beyond all that had come before. His only string quartet was revolutionary for its time, and had a profound effect on the future of musical composition. In the first movement, Animé et très decide (lively and very firmly), he immediately introduces the short series of notes that will become a seed for material in each movement. After one of Debussy’s signature dreamlike passages, a second, more lyrical theme is added, and each instrument plays each theme with varying accompaniments. In the second movement, Assez vif et bien rhythmé (quite spiritedly and rhythmically), the viola plays the motif as an ostinato (a repeated pattern of notes) with the other parts playing pizzicato (plucked strings). A new melody is added, but the germ of the motif remains throughout the movement up to the pianissimo cadence. All four instruments play with mutes in the third movement, Andantino doucement expressif (somewhat slow, gently and expressively). The motif has been turned

  • Program Notes
    “Come on along, you can’t go wrong Kicking the clouds away!” Broadway was booming in the 1920s with the energy of youth and new ideas roaring across the nation. In New York City, immigrants such as George Gershwin were infusing American music with their own indigenous traditions. The melting pot was cooking up a completely new sound and jazz was a key ingredient. At the time, radio and the phonograph weren’t widely available; sheet music and live performances remained the popular ways to enjoy the latest hits. In fact, New York City’s Tin Pan Alley was overflowing with "song pluggers" like George Gershwin who demonstrated new tunes to promote the sale of sheet music. George and his brother Ira Gershwin composed music and lyrics for the 1927 Broadway musical Funny Face. It was the second musical they had written as a vehicle for Fred and Adele Astaire. As such, Funny Face enabled the tap-dancing duo to feature new and well-loved routines. During a number entitled “High Hat,” Fred sported evening clothes and a top hat while tapping in front of an enormous male chorus. The image of Fred during that song became iconic and versions of the routine appeared in later years. The unforgettable score featured such gems as “’S Wonderful,” “My One And Only,” “He Loves and She Loves,” and “The Babbitt and the Bromide.” The plot concerned a girl named Frankie (Adele Astaire), who persuaded her boyfriend Peter (Allen Kearns) to help retrieve her stolen diary from Jimmie Reeve (Fred Astaire). However, Peter pilfered a piece of jewelry and a wild chase ensued.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: INSPIRATIONS and INFLUENCES
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: INSPIRATIONS AND INFLUENCES: POPULAR COMPOSITION TRENDS IN THE CONTEMPORARY CLARINET REPERTOIRE (1996-2010) Emily Marie Robinson, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2015 Directed by: Associate Professor Robert DiLutis School of Music Clarinetists have seen a large increase in the diversity of styles and influences available for performance in the concert hall since 1996. Being an instrument that easily adapts to a wide range of musical styles, the clarinet is ideal for composers to utilize as they explore exciting new ways to create unique programmable works. From the incorporation of the more traditional folk sounds found in Jewish folk music to the assimilation of electronic distortion and classic rock, new repertoire for the clarinet showcases the instrument’s great range, flexibility, and versatility. The future can only hold more opportunities for fantastic new compositions in the same vein as composers become even more familiar with the possibilities available when writing for the clarinet. This dissertation explores popular composition trends in the contemporary clarinet repertoire through three thematic recital programs. The first contains works that integrate the Jewish folk music style of Klezmer; the second consists of programmatic works that all seek to represent a specific source of inspiration; and the third showcases works that integrate a variety of styles of American popular music. The works performed and discussed in this dissertation are the following: Samuel Adler - Cantos XIV – A Klezmer Fantasy; Ronn Yedidia - Impromptu, Nocturne, and World Dance; Ruth Schonthal - Bells of Sarajevo; Dana Wilson - Liquid Ebony; Christopher Rouse - Compline; Richard Toensing - Children of Light; Paul Moravec - Tempest Fantasy; John Adams - Gnarly Buttons; Anna Clyne - Rapture; and Scott McAllister - Black Dog.
