  • A Study of Selected Contemporary Compositions for Bassoon by Composers Margi Griebling-Haigh, Ellen Taaffe-Zwilich and Libby
    A STUDY OF SELECTED CONTEMPORARY COMPOSITIONS FOR BASSOON BY COMPOSERS MARGI GRIEBLING-HAIGH, ELLEN TAAFFE-ZWILICH AND LIBBY LARSEN by ELIZABETH ROSE PELLEGRINI JENNIFER L. MANN, COMMITTEE CHAIR DON FADER TIMOTHY FEENEY JONATHAN NOFFSINGER THOMAS ROBINSON THEODORE TROST A MANUSCRIPT Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the School of Music in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Elizabeth Rose Pellegrini 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT In my final DMA recital, I performed Sortilège by Margi Griebling-Haigh (1960), Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra by Ellen Taaffe-Zwilich (1939), and Concert Piece by Libby Larsen (1950). For each of these works, I give a brief biography of the composer and history of the piece. I contacted each of these composers and asked if they would provide further information on their compositional process that was not already available online. I received responses from Margie Griebling-Haigh and Libby Larsen and had to research information for Ellen Taaffe-Zwilich. I assess the contribution of these works to the body of bassoon literature, summarize the history of the literature, discuss the first compositions for bassoon by women, and discuss perceptions of the instrument today. I provide a brief analysis of these works to demonstrate how they contribute to the literature. I also offer comments from Nicolasa Kuster, one of the founders of the Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition. Her thoughts as an expert in this field offer insight into why these works require our ardent advocacy. ii DEDICATION This manuscript is dedicated, first and foremost, to all the women over the years who have inspired me.

  • The Structural Fragmentation in Zwilich's Millennium Fantasy
    The structural fragmentation in Zwilich’s Millennium Fantasy Kheng K. Koay* Abstract This study explores Zwilich’s Millennium Fantasy (2000), which not only exemplifies the nature of Zwilich’s personal creativity, but also reveals different musical influences on the composer. In her music Zwilich employs a variety of techniques to promote different playful impressions and surprises. The continuous playing of tricks on listeners throughout the two movements is one of the musical characters of the piece. In most cases, the sense of fragmentation created in the composition also results from Zwilich’s playful musical construction. In addition, jazz, popular and traditional idioms are nicely and evenly treated in the composition; the composition is not confined to one musical style. This piece might serve as a model of the perfect balance which Zwilich strikes between traditional and popular styles. Keywords 20th century – American music – woman composer – contemporary music – musical analysis – musical style. Resumo Este estudo aborda a Fantasia Milênio (2000), de Zwilich, obra que exemplifica a natureza da criatividade pessoal da compositora e revela diversas influências musicais. Na sua música Zwilich emprega uma variedade de técnicas para promover diferentes impressões lúdicas e surpresas. O jogo contínuo de truques sobre ouvintes ao longo dos dois movimentos é uma das características da peça musical. Na maioria dos casos, o sentido de fragmentação criado na composição também resulta da construção de musical lúdica de Zwilich. Além disso, o jazz, idiomas populares e tradicionais são tratados com destreza na composição, que não se confina em um estilo musical. Essa peça pode servir como um modelo do equilíbrio com que Zwilich maneja estilos tradicionais e populares.

  • Some Solo and Collaborative Piano Music by Composers of African Descent
    Some Solo and Collaborative Piano Music by Composers of African Descent Prepared by Stewart L. Gordon The following lists are designed to encourage pianists at the Thornton School of Music to explore the contributions of musicians of African Descent. Toward that end, the first list recognizes composers whose music follows the classical music tradition, that tradition represented by the composers usually studied, such as J. S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. This list includes works for solo piano, collaboration with instruments and collaboration with voice. The next list recognizes some of the important composers of ragtime and popular solo piano in the United States in the early 20th century. The final list is of improvised performances that have been transcribed to piano solo piano scores, derived from some of the most significant pianists who contributed to jazz and the piano styles that evolved from it.

As examples of the public and critical esteem in which she is held, we need only mention that she was named the 1999 Musical America Composer of the Year, and of course in 1983 she received the Pulitzer Prize in Music, the first woman ever to be so recognized. Donald Spieth has programmed Zwilich’s new Clarinet Concerto for the September 12th and 13th concerts of the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra, performed by the soloist for whom it was written, David Shifrin. Also on the program will be Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, and today we’ll hear just a bit of it, the Rondo finale. Listen for the lovely sound of Shifrin’s clarinet, which is actually an extended “basset” clarinet (with extra low notes). Mozart composed this work for this longer instrument, and scholars have only recently reconstructed the work and rediscovered this unusual forerunner to the modern clarinet.

  • Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich: Background, Analysis, and Performance Application
    Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich: Background, Analysis, and Performance Application D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Emily Ann Patronik, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Karen Pierson, Advisor Robert Sorton Dr. Susan Powell Copyright by Emily Ann Patronik 2013 Abstract Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra was commissioned by the Pittsburgh Symphony for their principal bassoonist, Nancy Goeres and premiered in 1993. While this piece has been gaining popularity in the bassoon world, there are still many musicians that have never heard of it. Contemporary music can be intimidating to a performer because it is not as easily understood as the traditional music that precedes it. As a result, some performers shy away from it and quality pieces never get the notoriety they deserve. The background information, analysis, and performance applications included in this document are meant to help musicians understand this concerto in the hopes that it will be less daunting and will receive more professional performances. Background knowledge of the piece was compiled through telephone interviews with Zwilich and Goeres, newspaper and magazine articles, and information contained with the CD recording. The background information included is comprised of biographies of Zwilich and Goeres, a description of the commission, collaboration, and premiere performance, and information about the recording, piano reduction, and percussion part. When analyzing this concerto, an analysis of harmonic tendencies, scales used, and a list of motives were completed.

  • BALADA, LEES, ZWILICH New World Records 80503
    BALADA, LEES, ZWILICH New World Records 80503 As an idea, the concerto is as old as African call and response songs or the actor-chorus convention of Greek theater. In its manifestations in Western music, the concerto form has shown remarkable resiliency over the past 400 years, from its documented birth in the late 1500s as church music for groups of musicians, the concerto da chiesa, through its secular manifestations pioneered by Torelli, who published in 1686 a concerto da camera for two violins and bass, and its subsequent elaborations leading to the poised musical essays for soloist and orchestra of the late 1700s and early 1800s, and the epic transfigurations resulting in the massive “piano symphonies” of the late nineteenth century. Throughout the twentieth century, the concerto has continued to evolve, although along familiar grooves. Stravinsky, Bartók, Prokofiev, Berg, Schoenberg, Strauss, Barber, Diamond, Poulenc, de Falla, Hindemith, Sibelius, Elgar, Holst, Sessions, Carter, Rorem, Copland, Gershwin, Persichetti, and many other composers have written works that continued the tradition, infusing their concertos- -or, in some cases, works that were concertos although they did not bear the name--with idioms of their own rather than radically reinventing the form. If anything, the concerto of the final decades of the twentieth century is slimmer, leaner, more concentrated than its titanic Romantic predecessor. A kind of musical liposuction practiced by composers, perhaps, in reaction to the persistence of the high-fat diet of the Post-Wagnerians? As a format, the concerto has remained rather stable from Vivaldi and Bach onward: The solo instrument is profiled through a series of fast and slow movements against an instrumental group, a chamber ensemble or a full orchestra.
