    FLUTES New World Records 80403 Works by ROBERT BEASER PAUL SCHOENFIELD JOSEPH SCHWANTNER In 1986, three composers and three flutists met in a novel commissioning project supported by a National Endowment Consortium Commissioning Grant. Flutists Ransom Wilson, Carol Wincenc, and Paula Robison, each a longtime supporter and performer of new music, asked Joseph Schwantner, Paul Schoenfield, and Robert Beaser to write new works for flute and orchestra. On this recording, each solo artist presents the orchestral work composed for him or her, as well as a flute and piano "encore" by the same composer. When Aftertones of Infinity, Joseph Schwantner's first professional composition for symphony orchestra, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1979, a world of new commissions opened up to him. Born in Chicago in 1943 and trained there at the American Conservatory and Northwestern University, Schwantner had been on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music since 1970. He then was composer-in-residence with the Saint Louis Symphony from 1982 to 1985. According to Schwantner, his piece A Play of Shadows represents "an attempt to mirror [Ransom Wilson's] dramatic and compelling musical personality." Schwantner's evocative titles--Music of Amber, Distant Runes and Incantations, and A Sudden Rainbow are some of his other instrumental works -indicate a creative approach grounded in poetic imagery. "Sanctuary.../ deep forests,/a play of shadows..." is the haiku-like beginning of a brief epigraph the composer wrote in the score of A Play of Shadows, and the music's blend of repose and airy brilliance capture this image in sound.

  • T19i EVOLUTION of the ROLE of the SOLO TROMBONE in THE
    t19I A/o.80 EVOLUTION OF THE ROLE OF THE SOLO TROMBONE IN THE NINETEENTH AND TWENTIETH CENTURIES DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS By Karl G. Hinterbichler, B.M., M.M. Denton, Texas May, 1974 Hinterbichler, Karl G., Evolution of the Role of the Solo Trombone in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries.: A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of Frescobaldi, White, Druckman, Jones, Baecher, Ott and Others. Doctor of Musical Arts, May, 1974, 43 pp., 18 illustrations, b bliography, 67 titles. The evolution of the role of the trombone as a solo instrument in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries can be traced most effectively through four schools of playing, with the music of today's avant-garde being a logical historical culmination of these four schools. It will be demons t rated that the avant-garde's use of the solo trombone has merely continued the evolutionary process started in the early nineteenth century. The contribution of the early nineteenth-century virtuosi was the establishment of the idea that the trombone could compete on its own terms with other instruments as a solo instrument. In addition to expanding the technical capabilities, they also left a basic solo repertoir. With the death of the virtuosi the trombone as a solo instrument went into a decline. For the remainder of the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth century the Paris Conservatoire was influential. Standards of solo performance were )rou ht to new heights by exclecnt study material and contest solos.

A STUDY OF OBOE REEDS 1 A Study of Oboe Reeds Julia Gjebic Faculty Mentors: Karen Gipson and Marlen Vavříková Grand Valley State University A STUDY OF OBOE REEDS 2 Abstract Professional oboists spend more time making reeds than they do playing the oboe. Therefore, a high value is placed on reed-making in the oboe community. In this study, a controlled batch of reed cane (internodes of the grass Arundo donax) was selected based on microscopic inspection of cellular composition as well as macroscopic physical characteristics. For most of the participants, the cane was then processed identically to the stage known as a blank, after which the participants finished their reeds according to their usual methods. (The few participants who made their own blanks still used the controlled cane and also a controlled staple, the metal cylinder that attaches the reed to the oboe.) The sound spectra of recordings of each participant playing on his/her respective reeds were analyzed, as was a spectrum of the crow (sound without the oboe attached) of each reed in an anechoic chamber.

The concept of the work grew out of a particular performance of my Animus II by my dear friend and colleague, the great American mezzo-soprano Jan DeGaetani at the Aspen Colorado Music Festival in 1972. Ms. DeGaetani, who has magnificently performed and recorded several of my works, gave a particularly magical performance that night in which everything that sounded and befell seemed to be the direct result of her will and her powers.

  • Chameleon Orchestra Windows to the East
    Chameleon Orchestra Windows to the East "A fascinating endeavour to build musical bridges from European jazz towards the sound universe of the Orient. The Chameleon Orchestra celebrates World Music in perhaps its most open and vivid form with a wealth of facets." (mica-music austria) A get-together of European and Oriental music traditions. With the foundation of the Chameleon Orchestra in 2013, Christian Wirth made a dream come true: the dream of a flexible orchestral ensemble consisting of versatile musicians shaped by a variety of different musical and cultural backgrounds. The project “Windows to the East” started in cooperation with the Syrian oud-virtuoso Orwa Saleh, who made Austria his new home in 2012. Lucky chance led to two more Syrian artists joining the project – the composer and violinist Maias Alyamani as well as the charming singer Basma Jabr. The ensemble regularly collaborate with guest soloists like Syrian-American axceptional artist vocalist Dima Orsho (ensemble Hewar). For many years the violinist Christian Wirth has been exploring various musical worlds. With his Spring String Quartet, which is also integrated in the Chameleon Orchestra, he has been giving concerts all over the world and partnered many nationally and internationally renowned artists. "Christian Wirth's "Windows to the East" is a crisp mix of various styles: oriental, groovy, playful, boisterous and joyful; it pauses every now and then to allow for a few affectionate dancing steps. Saleh's "+250-" opens up a sentimental view onto his home country.

  • Canadian Solo Trombone Recital Repertoire: an Annotated Bibliography
    Canadian solo trombone recital repertoire: An annotated bibliography by Dale Sorensen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Dale Sorensen, 2015 Canadian solo trombone recital repertoire: An annotated bibliography Dale Sorensen Doctor of Musical Arts Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The first major Canadian compositions for solo trombone were written in the 1950s, a time when Canadian concert music composers began to flourish. Since then, more than 240 Canadian works for solo trombone (including alto, tenor and bass) have been composed. This annotated bibliography is a comprehensive examination of 135 of these works, delimited to include those composed in a 60-year period from 1952 to 2012, in two subsets of the repertoire typically performed in a standard recital: music for unaccompanied trombone, and music for trombone with piano accompaniment. The performance and/or study of Canadian music is a curricular requirement in many Canadian school music programs, and the performance of Canadian works is often mandatory for recitals and solo competitions. An annotated bibliography is an important resource that allows performers, teachers and students to identify and evaluate a body of musical works. The present document responds to the demand for such a resource by musicians searching specifically for Canadian solo trombone music, and significantly expands the scope of such previous research. The works chosen for inclusion in this study are presented in five sections based on instrumentation (divided by alto, tenor or bass trombone, and by unaccompanied solos or works ii with piano accompaniment – at the time of writing there were no unaccompanied alto trombone solos).

  • Influence of a Marching Snare Drum System on Joint Kinematics, Electromyography, and Contact Pressure
    Influence of a Marching Snare Drum System on Joint Kinematics, Electromyography, and Contact Pressure by Andrea Michelle Sumner A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 6, 2012 Keywords: load carriage, EMG, contact pressure, kinematics, kinetics Copyright 2012 by Andrea Michelle Sumner Approved by Wendi H. Weimar, Chair, Associate Professor of Kinesiology David D. Pascoe, Professor of Kinesiology Richard D. Good, Professor of Music Joellen M. Sefton, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology ABSTRACT Each year thousands of students participate in marching band. Many participate by carrying a flag, baton, woodwind or brass instrument, or drum. The drumline is of particular interest due to the unique and restricting nature of the instrument: a load carried anterior to the body with the only points of contact on the body at the shoulders and across the abdominal area. The influence of load carriage research on gait and joint mechanics, muscle activity, and contact pressure can be seen in the ever changing backpack designs and recommendations of load mass; however, there still remains a lack of research on marching band load carriage. The purposes of this investigation were: 1) to determine the influence of a standard marching snare drum system (SDS) and a modified marching snare drum system (MDS) on trunk and lower extremity kinematics while standing and marching; 2) to determine the muscular demand placed on the erector spinae, of individuals wearing a SDS and MDS while standing and marching; and 3) to determine the contact pressures at the shoulders and abdominal region of individuals wearing the SDS and MDS systems.
