First, I would like to thank my Doctoral Committee for their gracious encouragement, patience, and guidance, and for the valuable time and effort they freely gave: Pamela Ryan, Karen Clarke, Phillip Spurgeon and Michael Allen. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Christopher Rouse, Becky Starobin (on behalf of George Crumb), Ellen Bacon (widow of Ernst Bacon), Leslie Bassett, Francise Crociata (president of the Leo Sowerby Foundation), David Dalton, Myron Rosenblum, Myrna Layton (Assistant Music Librarian, Primrose International Viola Archive), Geoffrey Block (Charles Ives Scholar), Leslie Tomkins, and Michael Colgrass for their helpful e-mails; Karel Husa for his wonderful letters; Debby Bellmore, Secretary at Yale’s School of Music Oral History - American Music (OHAM); Suzanne Eggleston Lovejoy and Richard Boursy, Assistant Music Librarians, at Yale University, for their wonderful assistance, dedication, knowledge and kindness in providing access to their archives. Thanks are also due to Jim Miller, sound technician, and Natalia Rivera, pianist, who assisted in preparing and performing a lecture recital with me, using materials that became the basis for this treatise. Other acknowledgments include support from the Florida State University Interlibrary Loan Office and assistance from the Graduate School of Florida State University in the form of a research grant that helped me visit Yale University to peruse the OHAM holdings and the Irving S. Gilmore Music Library’s archives. iv Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Cathy, for her never ending support as I pursued my dreams of becoming a professional musician and strings teacher. Cathy and I were married before I started my Bachelor’s degree and she has steadfastly supported me, without reservation, all the way. I hope you will find this bibliography of viola works by Pulitzer Prizewinning composers helpful. v TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables...................................................................................................... x List of Figures.................................................................................................... xi Abstract............................................................................................................. xii Chapter I.

  • Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music From
    2015/16 Season: Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music from the Generation He Inspired 31ST SEASON 17 & 18 October, 2015 Curtis Institute of Music Philadelphia, PA Introduction: Vincent Persichetti @ 100 Vincent Persichetti was one of the most widely respected musicians of his generation. A prolific composer, brilliant educator and lecturer, and prodigious pianist, he composed more than 150 works in virtu- ally all genres and for virtually all performing media, while serving for 40 years on the faculty of the Juilliard School, many of them as chairman of the composition department. During his lifetime Persichetti influenced the musical lives of thou- sands of people from all walks of life, and his name came to signify a comprehensive musicianship virtually unparalleled among American composers. Countless young pianists were nurtured on his sonatinas and the Little Piano Book, while many other young instrumental students first experienced serious contemporary music through his works for band; church choirs turned to his Hymns and Respons- es for the Church Year as an inexhaustible resource, while many young composers have found his classic textbook Twentieth Century Harmony to be an indispensable tool; among professional soloists and conductors his sonatas, concertos, and symphonies stood among the masterworks of American music. Throughout his life Persichetti encouraged healthy, creative participation in music at all levels of proficiency, while shunning dogmas that advocated one composition- al approach at the expense of others. He was beloved and admired as a teacher, and was in great demand as a lecturer, using his comprehensive knowledge of the repertoire, extraordinary gift for improvisation, awe-inspiring piano technique, and mischievous wit to captivate audiences.
