Georgia State University January 2004 Committee Chair: Mara Helmuth, DMA Abstract This document consists of three-musical landscapes totaling seventeen minutes in length. The music is written for a combination of mezzo-soprano, Bb clarinet, percussion and tape. One distinguishing characteristic of this music, apart from an improvisational quality, involves habituating the listener through consistent dynamics; the result is a timbrally-diverse droning. Overall, pops, clicks, drones, and resonances converge into a direct channel of aural noise. One of the most unique characteristics of visual art is the strong link between process and esthetic outcome. The variety of ways to implement a result is astounding. The musical landscapes in this document are the result of an interest in varying my processes; particularly, moving mostly away from pen and manuscript to the sequencer.

  • Ludwig Musser Concert Percussion 2013 Catalog
    Welcome to the world of Ludwig/Musser Concert Percussion. The instruments in this catalog represent the finest quality and sound in percussion instruments today from a company that has been making instruments and accessories in the USA for decades. Ludwig is “The Most famous Name in Drums” since 1909 and Musser is “First in Class” for mallet percussion since 1948. Ludwig & Musser aren’t just brand names, they are men’s names. William F. Ludwig Sr. & William F. Ludwig II were gifted percussionists and astute businessmen who were innovators in the world of percussion. Clair Omar Musser was also a visionary mallet percussionist, composer, designer, engineer and leader who founded the Musser Company to be the American leader in mallet instruments. Both companies originated in the Chicago area. They joined forces in the 1960’s and originated the concept of “Total Percussion." With our experience as a manufacturer, we have a dedicated staff of craftsmen and marketing professionals that are sensitive to the needs of the percussionist. Several on our staff are active percussionists today and have that same passion for excellence in design, quality and performance as did our founders. We are proud to be an American company competing in a global economy. This Ludwig Musser Concert Percussion Catalog is dedicated to the late William F. Ludwig II Musser Marimbas, Xylophones, Chimes, Bells, & Vibraphones are available in “The Chief.” His vision for a “Total Percussion” a wide range of sizes and models to completely satisfy the needs of beginners, company was something he created at Ludwig schools, universities and professionals.

  • A Guide to Cymbals, Part 4 by Nick Petrella
    A Guide to Cymbals, Part 4 by Nick Petrella PLACEMENT The optimum place for cymbals in concert ensembles is either between the snare and bass drum or with the accessories between the snare drum and mallet keyboard instruments. The number of people covering parts and the instrumentation will be the deciding factor. In marching ensembles, the cymbals may be placed anywhere in the pit. Again, the number of people and instrumentation will be the deciding fac- tor. An important sound factor is removing the hand cymbal players from in front of the snare drummers as soon as the cymbal pattern is finished. If not, they will absorb a lot of sound, especially if there are sound scoops on the snare drums. Music and Tray Stand Placement The important consideration with music stand placement is to keep it high enough to see the music and the conduc- tor. Percussionists should place the music stand at an angle so the music is not blown away by the wind produced by playing the hand cymbals. Carpeted tray tables are more versatile than cymbal cradles because they are easy to use and can hold sticks, mallets and small instruments as well as cymbals (Figures 31 and 32). They are inexpensive to make. No noise oc- curs when setting the cymbals down because the straps touch the cymbals. A tiered tray stand works well too as it holds a collection of small instruments, sticks and mallets on stage. Whether a tray table or cymbal cradle is used, it should be placed between the percussionist and the conductor.

  • Extended Performance Techniques and Compositional Style in the Solo
    EXTENDED PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUES AND COMPOSITIONAL STYLE IN THE SOLO CONCERT VIBRAPHONE MUSIC OF CHRISTOPHER DEANE Joshua D. Smith, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Mark Ford, Major Professor Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Minor Professor Christopher Deane, Committee Member Terri Sundberg, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Smith, Joshua D., Extended performance techniques and compositional style in the solo concert vibraphone music of Christopher Deane. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2008, 66 pp., 1 table, 8 figures, 20 musical examples, references, 29 titles. Vibraphone performance continues to be an expanding field of music. Earliest accounts of the presence of the vibraphone and vibraphone players can be found in American Vaudeville from the early 1900s; then found shortly thereafter in jazz bands as early as the 1930s, and on the classical concert stage beginning in 1949. Three Pieces for Vibraphone, Opus 27, composed by James Beale in 1959, is the first solo concert piece written exclusively for the instrument. Since 1959, there have been over 690 pieces written for solo concert vibraphone, which stands as evidence of the popularity of both the instrument and the genre of solo concert literature. Christopher Deane has contributed to solo vibraphone repertoire with works that are regarded as staples in the genre. Deane’s compositions for vibraphone consistently expand the technical and musical potential of the instrument.

  • Relationship with Percussion Instruments
    Multimedia Figure X. Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.
