  • Gender Association with Stringed Instruments: a Four-Decade Analysis of Texas All-State Orchestras
    Texas Music Education Research, 2012 V. D. Baker Edited by Mary Ellen Cavitt, Texas State University—San Marcos Gender Association with Stringed Instruments: A Four-Decade Analysis of Texas All-State Orchestras Vicki D. Baker Texas Woman’s University The violin, viola, cello, and double bass have fluctuated in both their gender acceptability and association through the centuries. This can partially be attributed to the historical background of women’s involvement in music. Both church and society rigidly enforced rules regarding women’s participation in instrumental music performance during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In the 1700s, Antonio Vivaldi established an all-female string orchestra and composed music for their performance. In the early 1800s, women were not allowed to perform in public and were severely limited in their musical training. Towards the end of the 19th century, it became more acceptable for women to study violin and cello, but they were forbidden to play in professional orchestras. Societal beliefs and conventions regarding the female body and allure were an additional obstacle to women as orchestral musicians, due to trepidation about their physiological strength and the view that some instruments were “unsightly for women to play, either because their presence interferes with men’s enjoyment of the female face or body, or because a playing position is judged to be indecorous” (Doubleday, 2008, p. 18). In Victorian England, female cellists were required to play in problematic “side-saddle” positions to prevent placing their instrument between opened legs (Cowling, 1983). The piano, harp, and guitar were deemed to be the only suitable feminine instruments in North America during the 19th Century in that they could be used to accompany ones singing and “required no facial exertions or body movements that interfered with the portrait of grace the lady musician was to emanate” (Tick, 1987, p.

  • The Rise and Fall of the Bass Clarinet in a the RISE and FALL of the BASS CLARINET in A
    Keith Bowen - The rise and fall of the bass clarinet in A THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BASS CLARINET IN A Keith Bowen The bass clarinet in A was introduced by Wagner in Lohengrin in 1848. Unlike the bass instruments in C and Bb, it is not known to have a history in wind bands. Its appearance was not, so far as is known, accompanied by any negotiations with makers. Over the next century, it was called for by over twenty other composers in over sixty works. The last works to use the bass in A are, I believe, Strauss’ Sonatine für Blaser, 1942, and Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie (1948, revised 1990) and Gunther Schuller’s Duo Sonata (1949) for clarinet and bass clarinet. The instrument has all but disappeared from orchestral use and there are very few left in the world. It is now often called obsolete, despite the historically-informed performance movement over the last half century which emphasizes, inter alia, performance on the instruments originally specified by the composer. And the instrument has been largely neglected by scholars. Leeson1 drew attention to the one-time popularity and current neglect of the instrument, in an article that inspired the current study, and Joppig2 has disussed the use of the various tonalities of clarinet, including the bass in A, by Gustav Mahler. He pointed out that the use of both A and Bb clarinets in both soprano and bass registers was absolutely normal in Mahler’s time, citing Heinrich Schenker writing as Artur Niloff in 19083. Otherwise it has been as neglected in the literature as it is in the orchestra.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: a DIVERSIFIED SELECTION of 20
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: A DIVERSIFIED SELECTION OF 20TH CENTURY OBOE & ENGLISH HORN CONCERTI Yeon-Jee Sohn, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2003 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mark Hill Department of Music My determination in pursuing a soloistic career both as an oboist and as an English horn player is certainly a primary force behind this Doctoral Dissertation Project’s theme . Equally important to me, though , was to notice - both as an orchestral player and as a listener – the relative abse nce of much Twentieth -Century Oboe/English Horn repertoire in the concert hall, over the air waves , and the in the recording market . Therefore, I have felt the need to explore less- frequently heard concerti. Even so, I elected to open my series of recitals with Richard Strauss’ well -known masterwork, in the hope of conveying my stance and belief that the lesser- known repertoire I chose is by all means competitive - in terms of compositional craftsmanship, musical value, and sheer impact on the audience - even when heard side by side with an accepted staple of our Century . If this repertoire is under -represented in the concert hall, the amount of scholarly research available is also scarce . Indeed, it is a challenge to gather information beyond the purely biographical and circumstantial data. Finally, my choice of repertoire is necessarily limited in quantity to number of works I can perform in three recitals , but I beli eve it is nonetheless stylistically representative of the body of work produced in this Century for my two instruments. I have ele cted to present a collection of works that I believe represent a variety of 20th century musical styles from significant composers of the period, and which are particularly worthy musically.

  • A Case Study of an Award Winning Public School String Orchestra Program
    A CASE STUDY OF AN AWARD WINNING PUBLIC SCHOOL STRING ORCHESTRA PROGRAM Wing Man Fu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2009 Committee: Elaine J. Colprit, Advisor Penny T. Kruse ii ABSTRACT Elaine Colprit, Advisor The purpose of this study was to examine the history, growth, and development of an award winning public school string program. This study provided a description of a model of an excellent orchestra program and produced a general benefit to novice teachers who are setting up new programs, and to music educators by adding to our knowledge of the unique characteristics of a successful string program. There were three major sections of discussion in this study: (1) preparation for setting up a string program; (2) delivery of instruction in elementary, middle school, and high school levels of the program; and (3) continued growth, development, and support of the program. This research was accomplished by analysis of the following data: (a) live observations of class instruction at elementary, middle school, and high school, (b) orchestra handbooks and documents regarding curriculum and other guidelines; and (c) transcripts of interviews with faculty from Upper Arlington City Schools. Results show that individual faculty qualifications and experience prepare them to teach all levels of string classes. Based on their experiences, they are able to create an organized curriculum, design goal directed instructional plans, teach effectively as a team, and sustain a successful string program. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr.

  • The Bass Clarinetist's Pedagogical Guide to Excerpts
    THE BASS CLARINETIST’S PEDAGOGICAL GUIDE TO EXCERPTS FROM THE WIND BAND LITERATURE Britni Cheyenne Bland, B.M., M.M Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2015 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor John C. Scott, Committee Member Debbie Rohwer, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Department of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Bland, Britni Cheyenne. The Bass Clarinetist’s Pedagogical Guide to Excerpts from the Wind Band Literature. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance) August 2015, 44 pp., 14 musical examples, 7 figures, 20 references. Student clarinet performers often encounter bass clarinet for the first time in a high school or university wind ensemble, so it is logical for clarinet pedagogues to encourage and assist their students in learning this wind band literature. In addition to becoming familiar with this oft performed repertoire, students will develop a set of specialized bass clarinet skills that one cannot learn on soprano clarinet. These skills include increased air capacity and support, timbre consistency in differing registers, intonation tendencies of the lower instrument, voicing flexibility, right hand thumb dexterity for keys that do not exist on soprano clarinet, technical facility for eleven pinky keys (as opposed to the seven pinky keys on a typical soprano clarinet0, and effective altissimo fingerings. The purpose, then, of this document is to provide a performance guide for select bass clarinet solo excerpts from the wind band literature and to provide supplemental exercises intended to help students acquire the specialized bass clarinet skill set they will need in order to perform the selected excerpts successfully.
