    AN ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE GUIDE TO BENJAMIN LEES’S ODYSSEY I AND II D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for The Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Youmee Kim * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Document Committee: Approved by Professor Steven Glaser, Advisor Dr. Patrick Woliver ________________ Advisor Dr. Mellasenah Morris Graduate Program in Music Copyright by Youmee Kim 2008 ABSTRACT This document provides analyses and performance guidelines for Benjamin Lees’ Odyssey I (1970) and II (1986).

To provide an even wider reach for its innovative programs, the Conservatory has launched the Building National Dreams Campaign to restore its historic Victorian home and build a state-of-the-art performance and learning centre. Opening in 2007, the TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning will be one of the world’s greatest arts and education venues and a wonderful resource for all Canadians. Designed by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB), this stunning facility will feature new academic and performance space, including an acoustically perfect 1,000-seat concert hall, new studios and classrooms, a new-media centre, library and rehearsal hall. Technologically sophisticated, it will be the heart of creative education in Canada. To get involved in the Building National Dreams Campaign, please call 416.408.2824, ext. 238 or visit www.rcmusic.ca Although the ARC ensemble was founded just three years ago, it has already established itself as a formidable musical presence. The group’s appearances in Toronto, New York, Stockholm and London; several national and NPR broadcasts and the auspicious Music Reborn project, presented in December 2003, have all been greeted with enormous enthusiasm. With Reel Music, ARC explores the chamber works of composers generally associated with film music, and the artistic effects of the two disciplines on each other.

  • 1St Time Charm! Master’S Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano
    Fall 2008 1st Time Charm! Master’s Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano Exciting Acquisition— a First for the College of Music rriving in spring 2007 from the McNulty workshop in the Czech Republic, this gorgeous fortepiano, an 1805 Walter und Sohn copy, Ahas already become an important educational and performance tool within the College of Music. Many, many thanks are due to Professor Emeritus Michael Collins, philanthropist Paul Voertman and the National Endowment for the Arts for their generosity that enabled us to purchase this instrument. One of its most interesting uses has been the recording project planned in conjunction with an upcoming book by UNT musicology alumnus James “Chip” Parsons, Professor of Music at Missouri State University and a former student of Professor Collins. A-R Editions will publish Dr. Parsons’ book on early alternate settings of Schiller’s poem “An die Freude” (heard in the famous last movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony). The accompanying CD, coordinated by UNT faculty Elvia Puccinelli, will include selections based on the facsimile scores included in the book.

  • The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World
    The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World The Pianistic Legacy of Olga Samaroff: Her Contributions to the Musical World Reiko ISHII Key Words： Olga Samaroff, piano pedagogy, pianist, teaching philosophy 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the study This study examines the life and accomplishments of Olga Samaroff, one of the most famous and influential American musicians during the first half of the twentieth century, and discusses her contributions to music education and the musical world. Samaroff was an international concert pianist and a wife of the conductor Leopold Stokowski as well as a successful piano teacher and writer. This research begins with her biography, describes her pedagogical method and teaching philosophy, and then, discusses how her unique teaching method and high standards of musicianship influenced and contributed to culture and society in the U.S. 1.2 Significance of the study To date, research concerning Olga Samaroff is limited even though she made distinguished contributions to the classical music scene. Samaroff is a legendary but almost forgotten pianist of the early 1900’s who was overshadowed by Leopold Stokowski, her second husband as well as renowned conductor. Especially outside of the U.S., she is relatively unknown to most people and there is no publication available on Samaroff in Japan. In general, traditional piano teaching method is that student should follow what teacher says and imitate his or her teachers’ performance. Samaroff’s teaching method and philosophy were completely opposite from the traditional one. There were two purposes of her piano teaching, musical independence and human development of piano students.
