Avec l’œuvre musicale, sauf si elle repose sur un texte – et encore que la poésie contemporaine elle-même soit parfois difficilement déchiffrable –, tout est très différent. Son message échappe à toute définition. L’humanisme dont on affuble les derniers quatuors de Beethoven par exemple ne signifie pas grand chose, tandis que la dimension panthéiste de la Missa solemnis est plus proche de la Neuvième Symphonie que de la tradition liturgique. La production religieuse de Mozart – et celle des XViiie et XiXe siècles en général – demeure surtout théâtrale, et certaines pages sacrées de Monteverdi sont aussi dramatiques que la musique de l’Orfeo. La musique a perdu sa fonction rituelle. elle n’a plus de style spécifique.

And, with additional funding from Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Program, with generous funding provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Chamber Music America Endowment Fund. Fractalia: “A sonic celebration of fractals” Third Coast member Owen Clayton Condon writes music influenced by minimalism, electronica and taiko drumming. His newest piece, Fractalia, written for Third Coast Percussion, is a sonic celebration of fractals, geometric shapes whose parts are each a reduced-size copy of the whole (derived from the Latin fractus, meaning “broken”). Passing a repeated figure through four players in different registers of the marimba creates the kaleidoscopic fractured melodies within Fractalia. Condon’s works for percussion, including Fractalia, have been featured as the soundtrack to video and light installations at Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Fallingwater” and Anish Kapoor’s “Cloud Gate,” the famous sculpture (affectionately referred to as “The Bean”) in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

  • Final Edited Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HALF OF HUMANITY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY, ALSO: WORKS FOR VIOLIN BY WOMEN COMPOSERS Laura Colgate, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor David Salness, School of Music The intent of this dissertation is to increase recognition of prominent and lesser-known women, living and deceased, composing high-quality violin literature. This performance dissertation consists of three recitals featuring works for violin solo or chamber works including violin by twenty-two women composers, living and deceased, and program notes containing pertinent biographical and compositional information. Many shorter compositions were included in an attempt to give further recognition to as many women as possible. Although women composers are still outnumbered by men, it is evident that more and more women are becoming successful in their careers as composers. More women are being recognized by established institutions, having their works recorded, performed by major orchestras, and receiving honors and commissions. However, it is clear that much work is still to be done before women composers are to be given the same recognition as their male counterparts. It is my intention to not only make these works more accessible but also to bring to everyone’s consciousness the marginalization of women composers in the classical music field and increase awareness of the lack of effort on the part of presenters, organizations, and musicians towards gender equity. It is my hope that this dissertation will energize and mobilize others to create a level playing field on which women composers are fairly represented. HALF OF HUMANITY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY, ALSO: WORKS FOR VIOLIN BY WOMEN COMPOSERS by LAURA COLGATE Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts 2018 Advisory Committee: Professor David Salness, Chair Professor James H.
