University of Cape Town The Piano Music of Peter Klatzow A Stylistic Analysis of Selected Works Town Andries Albertus CapeOdendaal of University Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music at the University of Cape Town. February 2003 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis, submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music at the University of Cape Town, has not been submitted by me previously for a degree at another university. Signed Date University of Cape Town Abstract The piano music of Peter James Leonard Klatzow forms an integral part of his musical output. An analysis of these works may provide useful insight into the compositional style of this South African composer. Jan LaRue's theory of stylistic analysis formed the inspiration for the analytical approach of the thesis, and the main focus of this analysis is the 1994 composition, From the Poets. This work is analysed in terms of use of sound, harmony and melody in order to attempt an understanding of how these elements impactTown and contribute to the sense of structure. Other works that have been completed since 1980 are analysed in terms of the main motivic and harmonicCape material, with occasional reference to other musical parameters thatof are important for an understanding of the musical discourse.

Steltzner The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. Abstract This thesis explores and traces the history of the clarinet in South Africa. After discussing the problems of researching western European music history in South Africa from the arrival of the Dutch in 1652, and briefly summarising that music history up to the first clarinet reference, the thesis goes through the existing clarinet references. These have been sourced from travellers’ journals, newspapers, military histories, other theses, etc., with particular emphasis on the 19th century, since the clarinet was introduced to South Africa near the beginning of it, and the most unknown part of the clarinet’s South African history is within it.

  • The Technical and Interpretative Challenges in the Marimba Works of Peter Klatzow: a Performer’S Analysis
    THE TECHNICAL AND INTERPRETATIVE CHALLENGES IN THE MARIMBA WORKS OF PETER KLATZOW: A PERFORMER’S ANALYSIS By Cherilee Adams Dissertation presented for the degree of Master of Music in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Hans Roosenschoon (Department of Music) December 2015 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ~DECLARATION~ By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Cherilee Adams December 2015 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ~ABSTRACT~ Peter Klatzow (1945-) is one of the few renowned South African composers to have gained international recognition for his works. This is primarily due to his marimba pieces that are constantly prescribed for international competitions and that have formed a part of the standard repertoire for advanced and ambitious marimbists. One of the principal motivations for why these works are regularly sought-after by panel and performer alike is due to the technical demands and challenges that they possess. These technical issues are predominantly based on the performer‟s physical restrictions, their lack of tactile proximity with the instrument, and the marimba‟s resonant limitations. Not only are Klatzow‟s works technically very demanding, but also quite often challenging to interpret.

  • Chapter 1: from Autonomy to Heteronomy: a Change of Paradigm in South African Art Music, 1980-2006
    Chapter 1: From autonomy to heteronomy: A change of paradigm in South African art music, 1980-2006 Introduction Composition in South Africa has been an increasingly contested artistic and ideological space since the early 1980s. In this dissertation I argue that the demise of apartheid and the rise of democracy resulted in an institutional and aesthetic crisis for the field of composition, embodied in musical terms by a shift away from a Eurocentric paradigm to a cross-cultural one that embraced various ‘African elements’ within a framework of modernism and discourse of accessibility. In this chapter I consider the factors – both internal to the field of art music and those resulting from larger societal changes – that contributed to this artistic and ideological shift. Partly I am concerned with the politics of the field itself: the struggle for power within a highly contested cultural space. More broadly I am interested in the position of the field relative to changes in society at the macro level, in terms of race, class, and economic imperatives. A central question is, to what extent did the restructuring of the field in response to these changed imperatives affect the aesthetic choices of composers? The autonomy of art music during apartheid was challenged by the politicization of the field during the 1980s. The extent and rapidity of social and institutional change, and the new self-consciousness that it evoked in composers previously only concerned with “production for producers” (Bourdieu 1993:15), resulted in a crisis that foreshadowed an aesthetic revolution, or change of paradigm. In this chapter I present the theoretical basis for this claim and explain some of the historical reasons for its emergence.

  • “The Colours of Peace”
    UP Arts presents University of Pretoria Camerata conducted by Michael Barrett “The Colours of Peace” 11th World Symposium on Choral Music Barcelona, Spain South Africa Latvia Poland Spain 1 New Camerata 2017 programme .indd 1 2017/07/06 2:36 PM WELCOME Professor Cheryl de la Rey Vice-Chancellor and Principal University of Pretoria The University of Pretoria Camerata, or Tuks Camerata as they are affectionately known, celebrates their 49th anniversary this year. For nearly half a century, the choir has been delighting audiences at home, nationally and internationally with their passion for music, and has been a constant source of pride and joy to the University community. It is an immense honour for the choir to be invited to perform at the 11th World Symposium on Choral Music taking place in Barcelona, Spain, in July 2017. Tuks Camerata will not only represent the University, but our country and the entire continent as they are the only choir to be selected from Africa. The University is particularly proud that the choir and their repertoire mirror the diversity and relevance that are such important components of our mission as an educational institution. Consisting of 74 members from a wide variety of study fields, this multicultural group specialises in music from both the Western and African idioms. In the ever changing political, social and economic landscape, it is imperative that our University, and by exten- sion, Tuks Camerata, portray the entire spectrum of talent and beauty our country has to offer. The choir is well placed to do so as South Africa is without a doubt a singing nation.

    THE INFLUENCE OF INDIGENOUS BUSHMEN MUSICAL ELEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT COMPOSITIONAL TRAITS ON NIEL VAN DER WATT’S SONG CYCLE, DIE WIN D DREUN SOOS 'N GHOERA, ‘N SIKLUS BOESMAN-MITES. Christiaan Bester, B.Tech., A.C., M.M.

Austin, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Bester, Christiaan. The Influence of Indigenous Bushmen Musical Elements and Significant Compositional Traits on Niel van der Watt’s Song Cycle, Die Wind Dreun soos ‘n Ghoera, ‘n Siklus Boesman-Mites. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2014, 65 pp., 24 examples, bibliography, 21 titles. In Ghoera, Afrika-verse vir kinders, poet Hennie Aucamp demonstrates an affiliation with and reflection of his surroundings, such as the tribal communities he experienced as a child. This group of African children’s poems, published by Protea Boekhuis in 2011, became the source of inspiration for composer Niel van der Watt’s song cycle Die wind dreun soos ‘n ghoera, ‘n Siklus Boesman-mites. This study investigates and identifies significant compositional traits that contributed to van der Watt’s song cycle. To explore and understand the nature of such influences, the second chapter considers the composer’s early childhood; religious world views; student life; social, environmental, and political ideas; personal tonal language; and western musical elements.
