The first movement, ‘Bebop Jig’, uses rhythms influenced by both Irish and latter area, Beach, one of the 19th- and 20th-century’s most important female composers, was largely African music, but the harmonic and melodic style of most of it comes from the ‘bebop’ jazz language that self-taught. developed in the mid-1940’s. The second movement is a simple song inspired by British Isles folk music. Early on, she experienced great success as a composer of large-scale forms: her Symphony in E ‘Afro-Cuban Baroque’ uses rhythms influenced by Afro-Cuban music, but the harmony and some of the minor (“Gaelic”) and Piano Concerto were both premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and, to this melodic style come from the Baroque era. ‘Lament’ uses a scale that is commonly used in Arabic and day, stand as two of the most brilliant, engaging, and finely-crafted examples of American symphonic Spanish music.

  • Program Notes When Mozart Wrote the Three Divertimentos, KV 136-8 at the Age of 16, He Had Already Spent More Than Two Years Away from His Hometown of Salzburg
    Program Notes When Mozart wrote the three Divertimentos, KV 136-8 at the age of 16, he had already spent more than two years away from his hometown of Salzburg. He had lived in London and Paris and travelled throughout Austria, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy. Besides giving concerts at court, he met many famous musicians of the time and had opportunities to hear and study their music. Mozart’s early compositions are therefore often case studies in the styles and traditions of where his travels had most recently taken him. The Divertimentos were written in the winter 1771/2, after the second of three extended trips to Italy. A third journey was already in the planning and the Italian influence on Mozart’s writing is evident. It is uncer- tain whether the pieces are meant for a specific occasion; the title ‘Divertimento’ was in fact even added by another hand, possibly that of his father Leopold. The three-movement structure follows the pattern of the early Italian Sinfonia type, but J. Haydn and J.C. Bach have strongly influenced his compositions as well. Young Mozart met the two composers in London and looked up to them mentors and friends. The scholar Alfred Einstein hypothesizes that Mozart wrote the three pieces anticipating the need for some new symphonies during his next Italian journey. If required on short notice, Mozart would simply have added winds at the last moment. Before the birth of his gifted children, Leopold Mozart had made a business of writing musical novelties. He was a violinist, conductor, and teacher, his book ‘Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule’ is alongside the textbooks by Quantz and C.

Ostoich, D.M.A. Abstract Léon Goossens (1897–1988) was an English oboist considered responsible for restoring the oboe as a solo instrument. During the Romantic era, the oboe was used mainly as an orchestral instrument, not as the solo instrument it had been in the Baroque and Classical eras. A lack of virtuoso oboists and compositions by major composers helped prolong this status. Goossens became the first English oboist to make a career as a full-time soloist and commissioned many British composers to write works for him.

Brian Fanning University of New Hampshire - Main Campus Follow this and additional works at: https://scholars.unh.edu/honors Part of the Music Commons Recommended Citation Fanning, Brian, "What Motivates Composers to Compose?" (2014). Honors Theses and Capstones. 160. https://scholars.unh.edu/honors/160 This Senior Honors Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Student Scholarship at University of New Hampshire Scholars' Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses and Capstones by an authorized administrator of University of New Hampshire Scholars' Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Brian Fanning 1 What Motivates Composers to Compose? Composers must be motivated in order to produce music. Although the expression of oneself is at the crux of the content of compositions, the idea of the composition in the first place does not necessarily start with motivation. Composers may be commissioned by others, moved to respond to an event or disaster, or motivated strictly monetarily by their employer (either a corporation or royal court, depending on the era). This paper poses the question: What motivates composers to compose? The thesis will be drawn out in two examples: Paul Hindemith’s late sonatas and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Oboe Quartet in F. The theory of basic desires to motivation proposed by Steven Reiss will be used to explain each of the composers’ desires to compose. Paul Hindemith (1895–1963) was born in Hanau, Germany which is near Frankfurt.
