SUPER STRING SUNDAY Sunday 24 April 2016, 11.00Am Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall an INTRODUCTION to TODAY’S EVENT SUPER STRING SUNDAY Sunday 24 April 2016, 11.00am Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall AN INTRODUCTION TO TODAY’S EVENT Welcome to Super String Sunday 2016. As the runners of the London Marathon make their way around the course we have our own marathon, and one that is a lot more relaxing! We fling open the doors of the Royal College of Music and invite you in for a musical buffet which encompasses all the performances here in our wonderful Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall, as well as our string quartets battling for the first prize in our quartet competition in the Recital Hall and a fascinating look into the physical aspects of playing the violin in our Violinist in Balance International Symposium up in the Parry Rooms. Please feel free to drop into any of these activities, and I hope you will make it back to the Concert Hall for our grand finale of Elgar’s amazing Introduction and Allegro featuring our very own Vasara Quartet. I know you will have a wonderful day today; enjoy Super String Sunday 2016.

Committee Chair signature: A Study of the Instrumental Music of Frank Zappa A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Brett Clement B.M. Florida State University (2002) M.M. Florida State University (2004) July 2009 Committee Chair: Dr. David Carson Berry ABSTRACT This dissertation offers the first large-scale analytical study of the instrumental music of Frank Zappa (1940–1993). Following initial commentary in Chapter 1 on the problems of categorization in the repertoire, Chapter 2 offers a preliminary discussion of style and form in Zappa’s music. Regarding style, I detail the fallouts of Zappa’s unique early musical education as well as the influence of his guitar playing in his compositional style. My investigation of form explores the formal implications of melodic repetition, examining non-repeating forms characteristic of the hybrid music and repeating forms utilizing variation procedures such as contour retention and isomelism . Chapter 3 is devoted to rhythm and meter in Zappa’s music. The primary topics of this chapter are various types of rhythmic/metrical conflict, including polymeter, metrical dissonance , and rhythmic dissonance , which are explained in part as an attempted merging of advanced compositional techniques and rock/pop music norms.

In the final analysis, the ringmaster of freaks, a mother to the North American counterculture, and champion of outsiders, would find himself outnumbered and outmanoeuvred by the rising tide of ‘plastic people’. The nature and efficacy of Zappa’s last formal political stand at this juncture is the concern of this chapter. It is the precise social and political moment of this juncture – as the 1970s turned into the 1980s, and the dawn of the Reagan era, perceived as the final routing of “the long 1960s” – that lends a context to Zappa’s seemingly reactionary sentiments, a framing which goes some way to recover Zappa’s work from its detractors.

  • 1.3 Nine Types of Industrial Pollution
    UPDATE SUMMER 2020 1.3 Nine types of industrial pollution "Nine types of industrial pollution" is the first time when Zappa took a solo by himself as a separate composition. It's a sped up track, as the ZFT release "Uncle light" shows. "Uncle light" belongs to the project/object series by the ZFT with additional recordings surrounding an album. This time it's the original vinyl mix, the tracks in an earlier following order and a couple of different edits. "Nine types of industrial pollution" lasts 9:53 minutes on this release, thus much longer than the 5:56 minutes on "Uncle Meat". It's something Zappa frequently did. This solo is in Bb Dorian, with Bb as bass pedal note. This solo is actually a guitar duet. With nobody else being credited for playing guitar, he must have overdubbed a second guitar part. Probably a third one too for some additional harmony notes. It's also a rare instance of him playing acoustic guitar. The drums-percussion element during this solo is abundant. Four people could have participated in playing that part. At some points the bass part isn't brightly audible, the transcription being an approximation. Though lasting only 14 seconds, the example above already takes up quite some space. If you would write out the drums-percussion part too, it would double in size. It's quite a dense solo. Nine types of industrial pollution, section. Transcription: KS (update 2020, deposited at the I-depot, The Hague). In its first appearance on album as track 5 on the "Uncle Meat" CD, the main "Dog breath" theme gets incorporated in a song with three sections.
