This piece, Quintet, op. 34 for alto saxophone, two violins, viola, and cello, lay hidden until many decades later when it resurfaced for performance in the United States. Busch‟s use of the saxophone was advanced for the time, and his inclusion of the instrument in a quintet with strings was unique. Scattered information regarding the genesis of the piece, its advanced use of the saxophone at the time, and the discrepancies between the published score and parts all called for exploration. This study investigates the sparse history of the piece, using numerous primary and secondary sources, and offers performance suggestions so that today‟s saxophonist can deliver a performance reflecting the musical life surrounding the instrument at time of its composition.

  • The Missing Saxophone Recovered(Updated)
    THE MISSING SAXOPHONE: Why the Saxophone Is Not a Permanent Member of the Orchestra by Mathew C. Ferraro Submitted to The Dana School of Music in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Music in History and Literature YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 The Missing Saxophone Mathew C. Ferraro I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: ____________________________________________________________ Mathew C.

Gage, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Randall Goldberg, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ James C. Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993
    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.

    NOTES FROM MASON Music News Summer 2012 State University of New York at Fredonia 2 Dear Alumni & Friends, In this issue of Notes from Mason, you’ll get to read about many of the activities of the past year. We decided to devote considerable space to the profound experience of Yo-Yo Ma’s visit. As I have said to many people over the months since, I’m not sure I understand how someone can come to a community that has such high expectations of him, and then surpass them all for everyone with such ease and grace. It really was a great few days for those involved, so we want to be able to give all of you the opportunity to get at least a glimpse of what they were like. from the director the from That event represents something of an arrival point in our evolution. The steady increase in the number of performances, recitals, and guest master classes has been coupled with and inspired by new faculty and students eager to achieve the high standards expected of them. Music education has always been our focus, and around this has grown increasingly vibrant programs that complement our core. Some students now enjoy the benefits of a conservatory while they pursue their tangible career track, all from a liberal arts college foundation. The faculty has talked in recent years about national reputation, international auditions, ensemble touring, fund-raising, community engagement, entrepreneurship and marketing. Such discussions live in our consciousness now, and in the coming months you are likely to see these bearing fruit, starting with the establishment of the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
