    i Abstract (Re)Examining narratives: Personal style and the viola works of Quincy Porter (1897–1966) By Aaron Daniel Conitz The American composer Quincy Porter (1897–1966) is primarily remembered for his achievements and contributions as a member of the academy and, as a result, his music has largely been cast in the shadows. His compositional style is frequently described as “personal” or “highly individual,” particularly in reference to his works of chamber music, specifically those for string instruments. Porter was a fine violist who performed throughout his professional career in solo recitals and chamber ensembles; these experiences directly influenced his composition. Reexamining Porter’s narrative through the lens of his works for viola reveals a more nuanced perspective of the individual, one that more effectively conveys his personal style through the instrument he played. This body of repertoire forms a unique sector of his oeuvre: the works are valuable for the violist in their idiomatic qualities and compositional appeal, yet also display the composer’s voice at its finest. This document will present the works Porter originally wrote for viola (no transcriptions) as a valuable contribution to the repertory of 20th century American viola music. The works will be presented in chronological fashion and explore analytical aspects, stylistic concerns, historical context, and performance practice. The document begins with a biography to provide context for these works. ii Acknowledgements It is said that it takes a small village to raise a child. The essence and wisdom of this statement has certainly held true throughout the creation of this document; I would like to thank and recognize the small village of individuals that have helped me along this long, but rewarding journey.

It includes written and aural music theory as well as sight singing and basic music composition. In this course, students will become fluent in how vocal and instrumental music is constructed – primarily music written in the Common Practice Period (c. 1600 – c. 1900), but other style periods will also be discussed and studied in class. Course Objectives At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. Notate pitch and rhythm in accordance with standard notation practices 2. Sight-sing and play melodies in treble, bass, and movable C clefs 3. Write, sing, and play major scales and all three forms of minor scales 4. Recognize by ear and by sight all intervals within an octave 5. Use the basic rules that govern music composition 6. Harmonize a given melody with appropriate chords using good voice leading 7. Analyze the chords of a musical composition by number and letter name 8. Transpose a composition from one key to another 9. Express musical ideas by composing and arranging 10. Understand and recognize basic musical forms: ternary, binary, rondo, etc. 11. Write simple rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dictations 12.
