ABE, M. BURRITT, J. SERRY, AND OTHERS Michael L. Varner, B.M.E., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 1999 APPROVED: Thomas Clark, Major Professor Ron Fink, Major Professor John Michael Cooper, Minor Professor William V. May, Interim Dean of the College of Music C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Varner, Michael L., An Examination of David Maslanka’s Marimba Concerti: Arcadia II for Marimba and Percussion Ensemble and Concerto for Marimba and Band, A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of K. Abe, M. Burritt, J. Serry, and Others. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 1999, 134 pp., 62 illustrations, bibliography, 40 titles. Although David Maslanka is not a percussionist, his writing for marimba shows a solid appreciation of the idiomatic possibilities developed by recent innovations for the instrument. The marimba is included in at least eighteen of his major compositions, and in most of those it is featured prominently. Both Arcadia II: Concerto for Marimba and Percussion Ensemble and Concerto for Marimba and Band display the techniques and influences that have become characteristic of his compositional style. However, they express radically different approaches to composition due primarily to Maslanka’s growth as a composer. Maslanka’s traditional musical training, the clear influence of diverse composers, and his sensitivity to extra-musical influences such as geographic location have resulted in a very distinct musical style.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY an Annotated Catalog of Marimba
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY An Annotated Catalog of Marimba Concertos with Winds A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Field of Percussion Performance By Anthony Joseph Calabrese EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2014 2 © Copyright by Anthony Joseph Calabrese 2014 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT An Annotated Catalog of Marimba Concertos with Winds Anthony J. Calabrese This document is a musical catalog of concertos for one or two solo marimbas originally written with wind accompaniment. Chapter One summarizes the development of the marimba since the early 1900s. Chapter Two presents charts and descriptions of 45 works in this genre, based on works written between 1974 and 2013. Composers of these works are based in Australia, Belgium, England, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Taiwan, and across the United States. The descriptions address composition dates, instrumentation and timing, solo instrument range and technical requirements, including cadenzas, publishers, arrangements, recordings, commissions and premieres, style, and other details in the scores. Musical incipits are provided where available. Sixteen works are detailed here for the first time, including the first known works in the genre. Readers should also see Andrew Lance Dancy’s document (2008) for complementary information on certain works. Chapter Three examines similarities and differences, and trends among all 45 works in the genre based on the catalog’s details. Ideas on how to solicit new works are identified from past studies and applied to the wind ensemble idiom. This study informs percussionists and conductors as they select concertos for performance, it informs composers of past works, and identifies trends.

  • 20 Years of the Rosauro Marimba Concerto by JEFF MOORE
    20 Years of the Rosauro Marimba Concerto BY JEFF MOORE This year marks the 20th anniversary of Ney Rosauro’s “Concerto for Marimba.” In the first twenty years of its existence, it has been performed with orchestra over one thousand times1. In the past ten years, the concerto has received, on average, well over one hundred performances per year with orchestra and wind ensemble. Although the number of performances Original Cover of the Marimba Concerto includes high school, community, and university ensembles, the number also reflects performances with professional orchestras from all over the world. PERCUSSIVE NOTES 10 JUNE 2006 hile some students choose to per- form the concerto in various mu- Wsic competitions, many of the world’s premier marimba soloists have performed this work in professional en- gagements. The list of performers includes Evelyn Glennie, Michael Burritt, Katarzyna Mycka, Mark Ford, Mamoko Kamiya, She- e Wu, Li Biao, Naoka Takada, Babette Haag, Andy Harnsberger, and many oth- ers. Although over a thousand official per- formances with orchestras worldwide is impressive, imagine how many more times the piece has been performed with piano or percussion ensemble. Rosauro’s “Concerto for Marimba” is arguably the most popular percussion concerto in history. The popularity of Rosauro’s concerto contributed to a wider acceptance of the marimba as a legitimate solo instrument with orchestra. Ensembles at all levels be- gan to program the Rosauro concerto, en- couraging and giving more percussionists of performances the Rosauro concerto has minations regarding the level of difficulty the opportunity to perform with orchestras received relative to other percussion in the solo or ensemble parts.

  • Percussion Cata Lo G U E Classical Percussion
    © Philipp Rathmer CLASSICAL PERCUSSION CATA LO G U E CLASSICAL PERCUSSION Percussion instruments have always been a feature of traditional music and, more recently, as the backbone for popular and world music cultures. But music for the classical percussion department has taken enormous strides in the last half century, progressing from a monochromatic underscoring of rhythms to a highly complex palette of timbres that can depict delicacy or emit explosions of sound with a versatility that composers are increasingly keen to explore. The recordings in this catalogue present a mix of styles and roles for the prolific sounds of the percussion family, from chamber music to concerto platforms, with a seemingly inexhaustible range of expression.
