Jazz Elements in Three Works for Solo Horn UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date:___________________ I, _________________________________________________________, hereby submit this work as part of the requirements for the degree of: in: It is entitled: This work and its defense approved by: Chair: _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ Compositional Trends in Solo Horn Works by Horn Performers (1970–2005): A Survey and Catalog A document submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Division of Performance Studies of the College-Conservatory of Music 2008 by Kimberly D. Rooney B.M., University of Missouri-Columbia, 2002 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2004 Committee Chair: Dr. bruce d. mcclung ABSTRACT A survey of solo horn works composed in the late twentieth century exhibits the strong influence of horn performers on the instrument’s expanding solo repertoire. Hornists such as Jeffrey Agrell, David Amram, Paul Basler, Randall Faust, Lowell Greer, Douglas Hill, Lowell Shaw, Jeffrey Snedeker, and many others have contributed worthwhile new works to the horn repertoire. These works take advantage of recent compositional trends in order to showcase the full spectrum of musical possibilities available to the modern hornist. The goal of this study is to draw attention to the large body of horn solo repertoire that has been composed by hornists from 1970 to 2005, to explore the technical challenges it poses, to consider common trends among the works of several hornist-composers, and to encourage performance of this repertoire. Chapter One provides an overview of the project and examines the relevant existing research. Chapter Two provides a brief historical context by summarizing the contribution of several representative players, including Jan Vaclav Stich (a.k.a. Giovanni Punto), Louis-Francois Dauprat, Jacques-Francois Gallay, and Franz Strauss, to the solo horn repertoire during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Chapter Three surveys the more recent repertoire with discussion of selected characteristic works from the last thirty-five years that demonstrate current trends in horn solo composition. These trends include the introduction of jazz elements to the solo horn repertoire, the revival of the natural horn, and the use of nontraditional accompaniments including various types of electronic media. Chapter Four provides the conclusions of the study. This project concludes with a catalog of works composed by horn performers between 1970 and 2005. ii © Copyright by Kimberly Dianne Rooney 2008 iii COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS Jeffrey Agrell, September Elegy.

While collaborations with great performers including Dennis Brain, Barry Tuckwell, and Froydis Ree Wekre have inspired several adventurous works by mainstream composers, many composers approach the horn with some trepidation.1 As Gunther Schuller writes in the preface to his Horn Technique, the horn has a reputation of being “devilishly difficult,” which intimidates many composers.2 In many instances the burden has fallen on horn players themselves to compose rewarding and idiomatic music that satisfies today’s virtuoso performers. Hornists such as Jeffrey Agrell, David Amram, Paul Basler, Randall Faust, Lowell Greer, Douglas Hill, Lowell Shaw, and Jeffrey Snedeker have all contributed worthwhile new works to the horn repertoire. These works take advantage of recent compositional trends in order to showcase the full spectrum of musical possibilities available to the modern hornist. The goal of this study is to draw attention to the large body of horn solo repertoire that has been composed by hornists from 1970 to 2005, to explore the technical challenges it poses, to consider common trends among the works of several hornist-composers, and to encourage performance of this repertoire.

  • The Artistic Merits of Incorporating Natural Horn Techniques Into Valve Horn Performance
    The Artistic Merits of Incorporating Natural Horn Techniques into Valve Horn Performance A Portfolio of Recorded Performances and Exegesis Adam Greaves Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Elder Conservatorium of Music Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences University of Adelaide March 2012 i Table of Contents Abstract i Declaration ii Acknowledgements iii List of Figures iv Recital Programmes 1 Exegesis Introduction 2 Recital One 4 Recital two 11 Conclusion 25 Appendix: Concert Programmes Recital One 26 Recital Two 30 Bibliography 34 Recordings Recital One Recital Two ii Abstract The dissertation addresses the significance of how a command of the natural horn can aid performance on its modern, valve counterpart. Building on research already conducted on the topic, the practice-led project assesses the artistic merits of utilising natural horn techniques in performances on the valve horn. The exegesis analyses aesthetic decisions made in the recitals – here disposed as two CD recordings – and assesses the necessity or otherwise of valve horn players developing a command of the natural horn. The first recital comprises a comparison of performances by the candidate of Brahms’ Horn Trio, Op.40 (1865) on the natural and valve horns. The exegesis evaluates the two performances from an aesthetic and technical standpoint. The second recital, while predominantly performed on the valve horn, contains compositions that have been written with elements of natural horn technique taken into consideration. It also contains two pieces commissioned for this project, one by a student composer and the other by a professional horn player. These two commissions are offered as case studies in the incorporation of natural horn techniques into compositional praxis.

  • The Art of Making Mistakes
    The Art of Making Mistakes Misha Alperin Edited by Inna Novosad-Maehlum Music is a creation of the Universe Just like a human being, it reflects God. Real music can be recognized by its soul -- again, like a person. At first sight, music sounds like a language, with its own grammatical and stylistic shades. However, beneath the surface, music is neither style nor grammar. There is a mystery hidden in music -- a mystery that is not immediately obvious. Its mystery and unpredictability are what I am seeking.

  • «Solo Duo Trio» – Christian Zehnder Di 22.05
    «Solo Duo Trio» – Christian Zehnder Di 22.05. / Mi 23.05. / Do 24.05.2018 Mitte Februar 2017 feierte Christian Zehnders Solo «songs from new space mountain» im Gare du Nord seine Uraufführung. Alle drei Premieren-Vorstellungen waren ausverkauft. Die Resonanz auf die Performance war so gross, dass eine Wiederaufnahme schon nach der Premiere im Raum stand. Im Mai 2018 bietet sich nun dem Publikum die Möglichkeit, das Solo «songs from new space mountain» nochmals (oder erstmals) zu sehen – darüber hinaus tritt er auch in zwei Formationen auf, die hier noch kaum bekannt sind: im Duo mit dem Drehorgelspieler Matthias Loibner und im Trio mit dem Hornisten Arkady Shilkloper und dem Pianisten John Wolf Brennan. Di 22.05.18 20:00 «songs from new space mountain» – Christian Zehnder Solo Eine Werkschau und Reise durch den unvergleichlichen Klangkosmos von Christian Zehnder – ein ausserirdischer Heimatabend (Wiederaufnahme) Mit neuen Kompositionen und Werken aus den letzten 20 Jahren führt uns der Stimmenkünstler Christian Zehnder in eine ganz eigenständige, archaische und geradezu ausserirdische Welt der Laute, die völlig ohne Worte auskommt. Der eigenwillige Schweizer Musiker, welcher schon mit dem Duo Stimmhorn die alpine Musik neu aufmischte und Kultstatus geniesst, lässt sich in seiner Vielfalt nicht einordnen. Auch muss man ihn live gesehen haben. Erst dann erschliesst sich sein zwischen Musik, Performance und visueller Ausdruckskraft angelegtes Werk in seiner ganzen Kraft und Faszination. Seit 25 Jahren stehen meine meisten künstlerischen Arbeiten im alpinen Kontext und einer Vision einer neuen klanglichen Utopie der Heimat. Daraus ist bis heute ein sehr persönliches und dennoch breitgefächertes Werk entstanden, welches die menschliche Stimme zwischen alpinem und urbanem Lebensraum zu befragen versucht und in den verschiedensten Disziplinen seine jeweilige Form findet.
