  • Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from JS Bach's
    Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Johann Jacob Van Niekerk A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Giselle Wyers, Chair Geoffrey Boers Shannon Dudley Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2014 Johann Jacob Van Niekerk University of Washington Abstract Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Giselle Wyers Associate Professor of Choral Music and Voice The themes of suffering and social conscience permeate the history of the sung passion genre: composers have strived for centuries to depict Christ’s suffering and the injustice of his final days. During the past eighty years, the definition of the genre has expanded to include secular protagonists, veiled and not-so-veiled socio- political commentary and increased discussion of suffering and social conscience as socially relevant themes. This dissertation primarily investigates David Lang’s Pulitzer award winning the little match girl passion, premiered in 2007. David Lang’s setting of Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl” interspersed with text from the chorales of Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) has since been performed by several ensembles in the United States and abroad, where it has evoked emotionally visceral reactions from audiences and critics alike.

Paul Hillier Baltic Voices Vokalmusik aus dem Ostseeraum vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart Die Piae Cantiones sind eine gedruckte Sammlung von Schulliedern aus Schweden und Finnland, wo ihr Gebrauch weit verbreitet war. Gedruckt wurde die Sammlung 1582 in Greifswald, wo es zu dieser Zeit schon Notendrucker gab. Gleichzeitig ist dies ein "Zeugnis für die kulturelle Zusammengehörigkeit des Ostseeraums" (Folke Bohlin). Ars Nova Copenhagen kombiniert diese selten zu hörenden Lieder mit weiteren musikalischen Zeugnissen aus dem Ostseeraum, vor allem aus der heutigen Zeit.

The music stems from the pens of two contrarian composers: a contemporary Dane writing for an English instrumental ensemble and a Danish vocal group that is both Danish and English, and the aforementioned Englishman whose most famous SoNG – Lacrimae – was most likely composed in Denmark. We find ourselves therefore in very mixed company, with all the many pleasant undertones that such a phrase can evoke, in which the SoUNDs of Dowland’s tears TURN about, first setting the mood and then changing it.

  • Arvo Pärt's Te Deum
    Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum : A Compositional Watershed STUART GREENBAUM Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (by thesis and musical composition) July 1999 Faculty of Music The University of Melbourne Abstract A critical analysis of Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum (1984-85) is conducted in light of his tintinnabuli style. The origin of this style is traced back to 1976, placing Te Deum in the middle of the tintinnabuli period. Te Deum is a major work lasting nearly half an hour, written for three choirs, strings, prepared piano and tape. The introduction to the thesis provides an overview of the composer and styles with which he is aligned. Definitions of minimalism, spiritual minimalism and tonality are contextualised, with reference to Pärt’s compositional technique, aesthetic and development. The work is analysed syntactically and statistically in terms of its harmonic mode, its textural state and orchestration, its motivic construction, and the setting of the Te Deum text. The syntactic function of these parameters are viewed in dialectical terms. Analysis is conducted from the phenomenological standpoint of the music ‘as heard’, in conjunction with the score. Notions of elapsed time and perceived time, together with acoustical space, are considered in the course of the analysis. The primary sound recording is compared to other sound recordings, together with earlier versions of the score and revisions that have accordingly taken place. The composer, Arvo Pärt, was interviewed concerning the work, and the analysis of that work. Pärt’s responses are considered in conjunction with other interviews to determine why he pursued or tackled some questions more than others.
