  • 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.

  • Michael Christie
    Michael Christie Michael Christie is a thoughtfully innovative conductor, equally at home in the symphonic and opera worlds, who is focused on making the audience experience at his performances entertaining, enlightening, and enriching. The New York Times reports, “Michael Christie is a director open to adventure and challenge,” and the Cincinnati Enquirer declares, “If Michael Christie represents the future of music in this country, the future looks promising indeed.” Christie, who was featured in Opera News in August 2012 as one of 25 people believed to “to break out and become major forces in the field in the coming decade,” began his tenure as the first‐ever Music Director of the Minnesota Opera with the 2012‐13 season. During the 2015‐2016 season with Minnesota Opera, he leads the world premiere performances of Pulitzer Prize‐winning composer Paul Moravec’s opera The Shining, based on the novel by Stephen King, plus productions of Ariadne auf Naxos, The Magic Flute, and Rusalka. In 2017, he leads the world premiere performances of The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs by Mason Bates with Santa Fe Opera. His appointments beyond the current season include major performances with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Washington National Opera, and Opera Theatre of St. Louis. Deeply committed to bringing new works to life, Michael Christie has championed commissions by leading and emerging composers alike, including Mark Adamo, Mason Bates, Michael Daugherty, Osvaldo Golijov, Mark Grey, Daron Hagen, Matthew Hindson, Marjan Mozetich, Stephen Paulus, Kevin Puts, and more. In 2011, Christie led the Minnesota Opera in the world premiere performances of Kevin Puts’ Silent Night, which was awarded the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Music.
