IV Abstract My thesis details the progression of my compositional style from one that relied on predetermined structural mechanisms to a style of composing instinctively with sound. A predetermined structural mechanism is a plan that one establishes in advance of composing a piece of music. These ordering mechanisms place a large emphasis on what lies behind the music. I once used ordering mechanisms to help me write music; however it was a methodology that did not suit me. I am more interested in sounds; in my view music is a sequence of beautiful sounds. In order to write beautiful music I felt I needed to listen only to the sounds and let them suggest what I should do. The five thesis pieces are attempts at finding a way of composing with sounds without any form of predetermined structure.

The thesis pieces I wrote from the summer of 2007 to the winter of 2008 were written in order to discover a compositional process that suited me. Despite my age - I am this year thirty three - I am rather inexperienced as a composer. My first piece of music conceived as notes on staff paper was not written until five years ago. Before that, I had been an aimless musician; for a few years I had given up on music altogether. As an undergraduate student I was unsure of how to put a piece together. Therefore I followed conventional notions about form in order to compose. The act of composing was an inconsistent and unpredictable one. I often got blocked without knowing how to get out of it. While it was a joy to play music or to create music for pieces, like melodies, the idea of a piece, of a musical object was a problem. The primary concerns I had was how to understand the chronology of a piece of music: why does one thing follow the next? Why is one thing similar or dissimilar from what preceded it? Moreover how long should one thing go on for before something else can interrupt it? My response to these questions was to imagine that there was a meaningful way to order a piece and that the meaning of a piece is wrapped up in how it is ordered. As I wrote pieces that were highly ordered I became less convinced of that conclusion. I increasingly felt that positing a piece's meaning in its ordering mechanism actually prevents me from listening to the music by directing me to what lies behind it. 2 What I started looking for was a way of making music that did not involve the use of perceptible order. I wanted to direct my attention to the surface of the music. The thesis pieces are explorations of the possibilities of composing without predetermined structure, and of composing freely with sounds. The thesis will be divided into three broad sections: my compositional process as it existed during my undergraduate years, the composers who influenced it - Bach and Messiaen - and the difficulties I had with it. The second section will describe my experiences that showed me a way out of these difficulties, and my discovery of Morton Feldman's work which confirmed my suspicion about my process and general attitude towards music and showed me how I might better proceed. The third section is an analysis of the thesis pieces themselves and shows how they are attempts at overcoming my earlier compositional problems.

Contact: [email protected] Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 11, no. 2, pp. 29-77 (2016) Flamenco Jazz: An Analytical Study Peter Manuel Since the 1990s, the hybrid genre of flamenco jazz has emerged as a dynamic and original entity in the realm of jazz, Spanish music, and the world music scene as a whole. Building on inherent compatibilities between jazz and flamenco, a generation of versatile Spanish musicians has synthesized the two genres in a wide variety of forms, creating in the process a coherent new idiom that can be regarded as a sort of mainstream flamenco jazz style. A few of these performers, such as pianist Chano Domínguez and wind player Jorge Pardo, have achieved international acclaim and become luminaries on the Euro-jazz scene. Indeed, flamenco jazz has become something of a minor bandwagon in some circles, with that label often being adopted, with or without rigor, as a commercial rubric to promote various sorts of productions (while conversely, some of the genre’s top performers are indifferent to the label 1). Meanwhile, however, as increasing numbers of gifted performers enter the field and cultivate genuine and substantial syntheses of flamenco and jazz, the new genre has come to merit scholarly attention for its inherent vitality, richness, and significance in the broader jazz world.

  • Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar
    Rethinking Tradition: Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar NAME: Francisco Javier Bethencourt Llobet FULL TITLE AND SUBJECT Doctor of Philosophy. Doctorate in Music. OF DEGREE PROGRAMME: School of Arts and Cultures. SCHOOL: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Newcastle University. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nanette De Jong / Dr. Ian Biddle WORD COUNT: 82.794 FIRST SUBMISSION (VIVA): March 2011 FINAL SUBMISSION (TWO HARD COPIES): November 2011 Abstract: This thesis consists of four chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. It asks the question as to how contemporary guitarists have negotiated the relationship between tradition and modernity. In particular, the thesis uses primary fieldwork materials to question some of the assumptions made in more ‘literary’ approaches to flamenco of so-called flamencología . In particular, the thesis critiques attitudes to so-called flamenco authenticity in that tradition by bringing the voices of contemporary guitarists to bear on questions of belonging, home, and displacement. The conclusion, drawing on the author’s own experiences of playing and teaching flamenco in the North East of England, examines some of the ways in which flamenco can generate new and lasting communities of affiliation to the flamenco tradition and aesthetic. Declaration: I hereby certify that the attached research paper is wholly my own work, and that all quotations from primary and secondary sources have been acknowledged. Signed: Francisco Javier Bethencourt LLobet Date: 23 th November 2011 i Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank all of my supervisors, even those who advised me when my second supervisor became head of the ICMuS: thank you Nanette de Jong, Ian Biddle, and Vic Gammon.

  • 18 Th and 19 Th Century Who Had an Impact on Later Developments in Jazz Guitar
    The development of the Electric Jazz Guitar in the 20 th century – by Pebber Brown One of the areas that is historically very important but sorely missing from any music texts, is that of the history of the jazz guitar and its players. In this essay, I will explore some of its early origins as an instrument and briefly look at some of the significant early guitar players of the 18 th and 19 th century who had an impact on later developments in jazz guitar. Moving into the early part of the 20 th century, I will also explore some of the influential non-classical guitarists who influenced the acceptance of the guitar as a viable jazz instrument, and lastly I will explore the importance of the invention of the electric guitar an look at some of the less well known but very important jazz guitarists of the 20 th century. Some insight into the origins of the guitar The guitar was invented many centuries ago in Spain as a predecessor of older Middle-Eastern stringed instruments such as the Zither, and the Lyre. The first guitars had less strings on them and were called "Chitarra." These instruments were played up until the 17th century when the more modern "Guitarra" was invented in Spain. The Guitarra later became the "Guitar," and it made its way to Northern Europe and in England and the Netherlands they created their own version of it called the Lute. Lutes are most called "Baroque" lutes pertaining to the music played on them during the Baroque period.
