    /VB3 / A/ O,(s0-02 A SURVEY OF THE RESEARCH LITERATURE ON THE FEMALE HIGH VOICE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Roberta M. Stephen, B. Mus., A. Mus., A.R.C.T. Denton, Texas December, 1988 Stephen, Roberta M., Survey of the Research Literature on the Female High Voice. Master of Arts (Music), December, 1988, 161 pp., 11 tables, 13 illustrations, 1 appendix, bibliography, partially annotated, 136 titles. The location of the available research literature and its relationship to the pedagogy of the female high voice is the subject of this thesis. The nature and pedagogy of the female high voice are described in the first four chapters. The next two chapters discuss maintenance of the voice in conventional and experimental repertoire. Chapter seven is a summary of all the pedagogy. The last chapter is a comparison of the nature and the pedagogy of the female high voice with recommended areas for further research. For instance, more information is needed to understand the acoustic factors of vibrato, singer's formant, and high energy levels in the female high voice. PREFACE The purpose of this thesis is to collect research about the female high voice and to assemble the pedagogy. The science and the pedagogy will be compared to show how the two subjects conform, where there is controversy, and where more research is needed. Information about the female high voice is scattered in various periodicals and books; it is not easily found.

  • Concert IV: Showcase of CMS Performers & Composers
    SIXTY-THIRD NATIONAL CONFERENCE Concert IV: Showcase of CMS Performers & Composers Kimberly Goddard Loeffert (Oklahoma State University) Concert Manager Saturday, October 17, 2020 8:00 p.m. EDT PROGRAM ORIGINAL COMPOSITION: Tell Me a Story ............................................. Doug Harbin (Concordia College) Debora Harris, contrabass flute Sonja Bosca-Harasim, viola Electronics Tell Me a Story was written in 2019 in collaboration with visual artist, J_______. After many years studying music as a performer and composer, J_______’s life took an unexpected turn when a traumatic brain injury put a halt to her professional activity. During her recovery period, J_____ frequently turned to creating visual art after discovering that this immediate, more tangible and tactile art form helped greatly with some of the troubling symptoms of her traumatic brain injury. J______’s artwork Tell Me a Story uses alcohol inks and is coated with a clear resin. All the colors of the rainbow swirl to create a vivid, abstract image. In this musical composition, electronic sounds of flutes, strings, and gongs join the live musicians producing a dramatic tone poem where the listener is invited to imagine their own story. The work utilizes a systematic method of composition called the “Take-Away System” and is heavily influenced by the numbers 7 and 8. As J_____ has continued in her healing process, she has recently been able to return to composing music. The opening motive heard at the beginning of the piece is taken from her recent song “Love is All.” SHOWCASE PERFORMANCE: Pianobells (2012) ............................................................................ Zhou Long Xinshuang Jin (Florida State University), piano Zhou Long (b.1953) is an internationally recognized American-Chinese composer.

  • Barbara Pentland's Songs for Soprano: a Performer's Guide to Selected
    BARBARA PENTLAND’S SONGS FOR SOPRANO: A PERFORMER’S GUIDE TO SELECTED MAJOR WORKS A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2015 by Catherine Abele B.Mus. University of Manitoba, 2003 M.M. University of Cincinnati, 2006 Committee Chair: Professor Mary Henderson Stucky Abstract: Canadian composer Barbara Pentland (1912 – 2000) is primarily recognized for her piano and chamber music. She composed a number of art songs worthy of study and performance, yet audiences are generally unfamiliar with her solo vocal music, and singers largely neglect the repertoire. Despite the quality of her output, limited scholarly consideration has been given to her solo vocal works, and, to date, there exists no performance guide to her vocal-piano literature with in-depth attention given to the performance requirements. This document is a study of four representative works suitable to the soprano Fach, each representing distinctive stylistic periods and exhibiting diverse aesthetic influences on Pentland’s approach to composition: Ruins (Ypres, 1917) (1932), Song Cycle (1942-45), Three Sung Songs (1964) and Ice Age (1986). The introductory chapter of this document includes the statement of purpose for this study, background information, review of related literature, and methodology. Chapters 2 through 5 discuss each of the four vocal works, with particular attention given to the components of style of each song and performance considerations. The final chapter is a summary of findings and conclusions.

  • Program Notes
    1 PROGRAM NOTES Introduction The main purpose of this work is to provide program notes for all my compositions, or, to be precise, all those I consider worthy of retention. Others not mentioned here have been withdrawn, and I do not wish them to be performed. I have not provided details here for the theatrical works in the Patria cycle, but have merely listed them in the order in which they were composed. They have been discussed in detail in the book Patria: The Complete Cycle (Coach House Books, Toronto, 2002). The works are listed chronologically by the year in which they were composed or completed. An index will list the works alphabetically giving the number of each work for easy reference. In an appendix, I will provide a list of errata in all published scores, at least those errors that performances have revealed to date. I am frequently asked by performers and publicists to provide program notes to my works. Some works have notes in the scores, others do not. In this catalogue I shall say something about each work, so that the collection as a whole could be taken as an evolution of my thinking as a composer. A word of warning. I am not always careful about bibliographical details such as dates of composition or performance. This information is presumably accurate in Stephen Adams biography up to 1981, when the book went to press.1 One might expect this list to have been updated by some ambitious doctoral candidate at one of the Canadian beaneries, but these students are evidently applying their talents to more glittering projects.

  • In the Place Just Right (Keynote Address)
    In the Place Just Right (Keynote Address) Catherine Robbin York University, Ontario, Canada In 2004, Ki Adams called and asked me if I would agree to give a keynote address to the 2005 Phenomenon of Singing Symposium. He asked me to speak about myself, my life, career, my decision to retire from performing. He asked me, too, to give some advice for young singers beginning in the life of a classical singer. The more I thought about it, the more daunting it became. Just to tell the story of my life, the highlights of my career, the people who have influenced me, and so forth, seemed insufficient. I would need, for my own sake, if not for yours, to make some sense of it all. I would need to decipher some pattern or scheme or unifying thread which would not only make a brilliantly executed speech, but which would also show that I have skilfully and unerringly navigated my way through the labyrinth of my life and career according to a brilliantly conceived master plan. And so, ladies and gentlemen, I have returned again and again in my thoughts to an examination of my life in search of the Key, the Pattern, the Plan. And I've discovered the following: 1. Whenever I had a plan, it seldom worked out the way I thought it would. But circuitous routes are often far more interesting and educational than the original plan provided for. 2. If there is a unifying thread in the good things I've done professionally and my reasons for doing them, that thread is words-language-as a means of communication through music.
