  • The Trombone Sonatas of Richard A. Monaco Viii
    3T7? No. THE TROMBONE SONATAS OF RICHARD A. MONACO DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS By John A. Seidel, B.S., M.M. Denton, Texas December, 19 88 Seidel, John A., The Trombone Sonatas of Richard A. Monaco, A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works by J.S. Bach, Paul Creston, G.F. Handel, Paul Hindemith, Vincent Persichetti, and Others. Doctor of Musical Arts in Trombone Performance, December, 1988, 43 pp., 24 musical examples, bibliography, 28 titles. This lecture-recital investigated the music of Richard A. Monaco, especially the two sonatas for trombone (1958 and 1985). Monaco (1930-1987) was a composer, trombonist and conductor whose instrumental works are largely unpublished and relatively little known. In the lecture, a fairly extensive biographical chapter is followed by an examination of some of Monaco's early influences, particularly those in the music of Hunter Johnson and Robert Palmer, professors of Monaco's at Cornell University. Later style characteristics are discussed in a chapter which examines the Divertimento for Brass Quintet (1977), the Duo for Trumpet and Piano (1982), and the Second Sonata for Trombone and Piano (1985). The two sonatas for trombone are compared stylistically and for their position of importance in the composer's total output. The program included a performance of both sonatas in their entirety. Tape recordings of all performances submitted as dissertation requirements are on deposit in the library of the University of North Texas.

He received a degree from the Lodz Conservatory, while he also got his doctoral degree in law from the University of Warsaw. Tansman preferred to call himself a Polish composer, although his music was highly influenced by neoclassical and French composers; two mentors in particular impacted his music indefinitely- Maurice Ravel and Igor Stravinsky. Although Tansman's music was not as popular as most famous composers, his solo piano performances were sought after internationally. Written in 1952, the Sonatine for Bassoon and Piano is a precise example of how his music combines both neoclassical and French elements of music.

Research articles were coded to fit into twelve prominent categories: career-related, composition, extended techniques/modern practices, health, historical, instrument, interview, pedagogy, performance practice, performer profile, reeds, and other. After an analysis of journal articles (N =935) from The Double Reed, results indicated historical articles, interviews, and composition-related articles were the most prominent categories. There was a fairly even dispersion between oboe and bassoon articles, while the majority of published material was generated from American authors. Additional trends are noted to inform and advance the double reed community.

Outside of the sonatas for bassoon and piano of Etler, Hindemith, Hurlstone, Saint-Säens, and Wilder, works are relatively few and rarely played. Representative works from the mid-to-late twentieth century are often difficult even to locate. Fortunately, a substantial body of sonata repertoire lies in the three sonatas for bassoon and piano by Victor Bruns (1904- 96). Bruns was one of many bassoonist-composers, most of whom were professors at the Paris Conservatory, who added to the relatively small amount of repertoire for the instrument, yet his works are relatively unknown.

Hailstork studied with well- known composer Nadia Boulanger at the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau and continued his studies at the Manhattan School of Music and Michigan State University, where he graduated with a PhD in composition. His other teachers included Vittorio Giannini and David Diamond. His Bassoon Set was written for the students of the National Association of Negro Musicians in 2003. The four movements of this piece are all quite short, yet each explore the different sounds of the bassoon. The first two movements are relatively fast-paced and energetic, and are followed by a melancholy and sober third movement. The final movement is light and moves forward with a sense of ease. Bassoon Sonata in G, Op. 168 by Camille Saint-Saëns Camille Saint-Saëns, a French composer, pianist, and organist, is best known for his piano and cello concertos, Danse macabre, and The Carnival of the Animals.
