  • FREDERICK FENNELL and the EASTMAN WIND ENSEMBLE: the Transformation of American Wind Music Through Instrumentation and Repertoire
    FREDERICK FENNELL AND THE EASTMAN WIND ENSEMBLE: The Transformation of American Wind Music Through Instrumentation and Repertoire Jacob Edward Caines Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Master of Arts degree in Musicology School Of Music Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Jacob Edward Caines, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 i Abstract The Eastman Wind Ensemble is known as the pioneer ensemble of modern wind music in North America and abroad. Its founder and conductor, Frederick Fennell, was instrumental in facilitating the creation and performance of a large number of new works written for the specific instrumentation of the wind ensemble. Created in 1952, the EWE developed a new one-to-a-part instrumentation that could be varied based on the wishes of the composer. This change in instrumentation allowed for many more compositional choices when composing. The instrumentation was a dramatic shift from the densely populated ensembles that were standard in North America by 1952. The information on the EWE and Fennell is available at the Eastman School of Music’s Ruth Watanabe Archive. By comparing the repertory and instrumentation of the Eastman ensembles with other contemporary ensembles, Fennell’s revolutionary ideas are shown to be unique in the wind music community. Key Words - EWE (Eastman Wind Ensemble) - ESB (Eastman Symphony Band) - Vernacular - Cultivated - Wind Band - Wind Ensemble - Frederick Fennell - Repertoire i Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been completed without the support of many people. Firstly, my advisor, Prof. Christopher Moore. Without his constant guidance, and patience, this document would have been impossible to complete.

  • Conception, Significance, Analysis and Performance Preparation of Walter Hartley’S Concerto for 23 Winds
    Conception, Significance, Analysis and Performance Preparation of Walter Hartley’s Concerto for 23 Winds Jacob Bridges 2021 SFA Graduate Research Conference Bridges 1 Since its premiere by Frederick Fennell and the Eastman Wind Ensemble in 1957, Walter Hartley’s Concerto for 23 Winds, written during a period of substantial growth of serious music for wind band, is considered a masterwork in the wind band repertory. However, despite its eventual status as an important work within said repertory, the amount of academic discussion on the piece is fairly minimal, and performances of the work are quite few recently, both due to the lack of discussion surrounding the work, and for the high artistic and technical demands of the performers. Through research on the work’s conception and its rise to the upper echelon of wind band works, conductors and performers may find the Concerto of interest not just because it is a challenging, yet rewarding, work that benefits both groups of people, but also because of its historical importance within the development of the modern wind band. In addition, documentation of rehearsal preparation of the work for performance, conducted by the author, will provide insight to conductors on the steps and procedures that were taken to create a successful performance of the piece. Therefore, Walter Hartley’s Concerto for 23 Winds is a work that deserves further academic discussion and performance because of its historical importance within the wind band medium’s most important developmental period. Short Biography: Born on February 21, 1927 in Washington D.C., Walter Hartley began his musical education by taking piano lessons at age four by organist Lucile Shannon Etchison.
