  • The Snare Drum Roll
    ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND DRAMA The Snare Drum Roll Lúcia Viana da Silva Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 HEC, Master of Fine Arts in Symphonic Orchestra Performance Spring Semester, 2017 Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 higher education credits Master of Fine Arts in Symphonic Orchestra Performance Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg Spring semester, 2017 Author: Lúcia Viana da Silva Title: The Snare Drum Roll Supervisor: PhD Maria Bania Examiner: PhD. Tilman Skowroneck ABSTRACT Key words: orchestral percussion, snare drum, technique, roll. Like most other percussion instruments, the snare drum was introduced relatively late in the symphonic orchestra, and major changes and improvements concerning its playing techniques are still taking place. One of the most distinctive aspects of the snare drum is the roll, which consists of a challenge that most percussionists face eventually during their career. This project reflects my research on the snare drum roll during the last two years, gives a short background of snare drum playing and its technical development, and provides observations and reflections of different techniques to play a roll. As a percussionist myself, I analyzed and practiced on the execution of rolls as part of the research. This project includes notes on my interpretation of four orchestral excerpts, showing how technical development and control over the roll open musical possibilities to the orchestral percussionist. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMTS I would first like to thank my supervisor, PhD Maria Bania, who was always available and responsive to my questions and supportive of my ideas. Her enthusiasm and constant demand gave me the drive and encouragement for writing this thesis.

  • Chords & Pivotal Tones.Mus
    JAZZ TACTICS CLINIC Express Yourself The goal of all art is self-expression. Whether you are painting, dancing or playing music, you must express something from within. What matters to the listener is not which notes you play, but how you play them. Don’t get so hung up thinking about what you know (or don’t know) that you ignore how you feel. Sound & Rhythm Your sound is the most unique aspect of your musical personality. If you play a note with a beautiful sound the battle is half won. Listen to players with great sounds, and always start with a concept of how you want to sound. Rhythm is the aspect of music that we respond to on the most basic level. Whenever you play, strive to create a groove-the soloist is as responsible for the time as the drummer or bass player. Practice with a metronome on beats 2 and 4 to improve your time feel and sense of swing. Jazz Is A Language Learning to improvise is like learning a language. As babies we learn to speak by listening and trying to repeat what we hear. Through imitation and repetition we develop a vocabulary and an understanding of how to combine words to express ideas. The greater your vocabulary, the more precisely and colorfully you can express yourself, HOWEVER, memorizing the dictionary does not make you a great author any more than memorizing licks and patterns makes you a great improviser. You must have a story to tell! Wynton Marsalis says: “If you want to play music, you must listen to the music that has already been played.” To develop your musical concept, study great jazz players, past and present.

    ÁSKELL MÁSSON’S SOLOS FOR SNARE DRUM: MAXIMIZING MUSICAL EXPRESSION THROUGH VARYING COMPOSITIONAL TECHNIQUES AND EXPERIMENTATION IN TIMBRE John Michael O’Neal, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 Christopher Deane, Major Professor Eugene Corporon, Related Field Professor Mark Ford, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies, College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School O’Neal, John Micheal. Áskell Másson’s Solos for Snare Drum: Maximizing Musical Expression through Varying Compositional Techniques and Experimentation in Timbre. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2015, 38 pp., 7 figures, 29 musical examples, references, 27 titles. This dissertation and accompanying lecture recital explores the musical elements present in Áskell Másson’s three solos for snare drum, PRÍM (1984), KÍM (2001) and B2B: Back to Basics (2010). Two of the primary challenges for the performer when playing solo literature on a non-pitch oriented instrument are identifying thematic structures and understanding how to interpret all innovative sound production techniques employed within the music. A thematic and compositional analysis, as well as an investigation into the experimentation of timbre found in Másson’s three pieces for solo snare drum will help to clarify the musical complexities that are present throughout. Copyright 2015 by John Michael O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My sincere thanks and gratitude to my committee members and mentors Christopher Deane, Mark Ford and Eugene Corporon for their assistance with this project and their influence in shaping me as a teacher and performer.

  • A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900'S
    A Nickel for Music in the Early 1900’s © 2015 Rick Crandall Evolution of the American Orchestrion Leading to the Coinola SO “Super Orchestrion” The Genesis of Mechanical Music The idea of automatic musical devices can be traced back many centuries. The use of pinned barrels to operate organ pipes and percussion mechanisms (such as striking bells in a clock) was perfected long before the invention of the piano. These devices were later extended to operate music boxes, using a set of tuned metal teeth plucked by a rotating pinned cylinder or a perforated metal disc. Then pneumatically- controlled machines programmed from a punched paper roll became a new technology platform that enabled a much broader range of instrumentation and expression. During the period 1910 to 1925 the sophistication of automatic music instruments ramped up dramatically proving the great scalability of pneumatic actions and the responsiveness of air pressure and vacuum. Usually the piano was at the core but on larger machines a dozen or more additional instruments were added and controlled from increasingly complicated music rolls. An early example is the organ. The power for the notes is provided by air from a bellows, and the player device only has to operate a valve to control the available air. Internal view of the Coinola SO “orchestrion,” the For motive most instrumented of all American-made machines. power the Photo from The Golden Age of Automatic Instruments early ©2001 Arthur A.

    VOL. 4 NO. 3 FEATURES: CARL PALMER As a youngster, Carl Palmer exhibited tremendous drumming ability to audiences in his native England. Years later, he ex- hibited his ability to audiences world wide as one third of the legendary Emerson, Lake and Palmer. With the breakup of E.L.P., Palmer has expanded in new directions with the forma- tion of his own band, P.M. 12 BILL GOODWIN Bill Goodwin has played with a variety of musicians over the years, including Art Pepper, George Shearing, Mose Allison and currently with Phil Woods. Goodwin discusses the styles and demands of the various musicians he worked with. And though Goodwin is a renowned sideman, he is determined to branch out with some solo projects of his own. 22 DEREK PELLICCI Derek Pellicci of the successful Little River Band, speaks candidly about his responsibilities with the band versus his other love, session work. Pellicci is happiest creating under studio session pressure. The drummer also discusses the impor- tance of sound in regards to the drums and the care that must go into achieving the right sound. 28 THE GREAT JAZZ DRUMMERS: SHOP HOPPIN' AT DRUMS PART I 16 UNLIMITED 30 MD'S SECOND ANNUAL READERS POLL RESULTS 24 COLUMNS: EDITOR'S OVERVIEW 2 DRIVER'S SEAT Controlling the Band READER'S PLATFORM 5 by Mel Lewis 42 ASK A PRO 6 SHOP TALK Different Cymbals for Different Drummers IT'S QUESTIONABLE 8 by Bob Saydlowski, Jr 46 ROCK PERSPECTIVES SLIGHTLY OFFBEAT Odd Rock, Part 2 Pioneering Progressive Percussion by David Garibaldi 32 by Cheech Iero 50 JAZZ DRUMMER'S WORKSHOP DRUM

    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book.

In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

    Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. TOM MCINTOSH NEA Jazz Master (2008) Interviewee: Tom McIntosh (December 6, 1927 – July 26, 2017) Interviewer: Eric Jackson with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: December 9-10, 2011 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 57 pp. Eric Jackson: Today is Friday December 9th. We are talking to Tom “Mac” McIntosh. Tom, let’s begin at the beginning. You were born in Baltimore December 6th 1927? McIntosh: Baltimore, Maryland. Eric Jackson: Baltimore, Maryland. December 6th, 1927? McIntosh: That is correct. Eric Jackson: How big was your family? Were you the youngest, the oldest…? McIntosh: My father had a son by another woman that was seven years older than me. I was the oldest of my mother’s children. My mother had six children. I was the oldest of the six. Eric Jackson: Was it a musical household? McIntosh: Fortunately, I had a mother and a father that were musically inclined. My father, he yearned to be the lead singer in the Mills Brothers. I didn’t appreciate that until later on in years when I discovered that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra all said that it was the leader of the Mills Brothers that made them want to sing. And looking back, my father was like the leader had a paunch on. But, he made it attractive For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] because he could move his belly in sync with the rhythm of “the lazy river…” (Scats the song) And his belly is moving in rhythm with it! He was always very attractive.
