  • Reprints Burning River Baroque: “A Voice in the Wilderness” at Trinity
    reprints Burning River Baroque: “A Voice in the Wilderness” at Trinity Lutheran Church, Ohio City (October 17) by Daniel Hathaway On Friday, October 17, Burning River Baroque — Peter Lekx, violin, Malina Rauschenfels, soprano and cello & Paula Maust, organ — presented the first of three performances of sacred German baroque music in an especially appropriate venue. Trinity Lutheran Church, a 19th century Gothic edifice in Ohio City, was built by a German congregation and houses a distinguished 1955 Rudolph von Beckerath neo-baroque organ. The program, dubbed “A Voice in the Wilderness” after a line in Telemann’s cantata, Die Kinder des Höchsten, also included music by such well-known composers as Dieterich Buxtehude, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Kuhnau and Heinrich Ignatz Franz von Biber, plus one obscure Dutch figure, Jacob Klein. In the small world of eighteenth-century German protestant church music, most of these composers crossed paths. Buxtehude mentored Bach, who succeeded Kuhnau in Leipzig — winning that post when Telemann became unavailable. Biber, the only non-Lutheran, worked in Catholic Austria. Klein seems to have slid onto this program of sacred music because his cello sonatas are in the “da chiesa” style. Paula Maust opened the concert with Buxtehude’s Praeludium in C, also known as the Prelude, Fugue and Chaconne, a work that departs from the composer’s “fantastic” or improvisatory style in the direction of three more balanced “movements.” Maust played it gracefully and with an unusual sense of intimacy. Performing from the organ loft, Rauschenfels appeared first as a vocalist in a bright performance of Buxtehude’s Singet dem Herrn adorned with a lively violin obbligato by Lekx, then took up her cello for Klein’s Sonata No.

  • Music in the 20Th Century Serialism Background Information to Five Orchestral Pieces
    AOS 2: Music in the 20th Century Serialism Background Information to Five Orchestral Pieces Five Orchestral Pieces 1909 by Arnold Schoenberg is a set of atonal pieces for full orchestra. Each piece lasts between one to five minutes and they are not connected to one another by the use of any musical material. Richard Strauss requested that Schoenberg send him some short orchestral pieces with the possibility of them gaining some attention from important musical figures. Schoenberg hadn’t written any orchestral pieces since 1903 as he had been experimenting with and developing his ideas of atonality in small scale works. He had had a series of disappointments as some of his works for both chamber orchestra and larger ensembles had been dismissed by important musical figures as they did not understand his music. As a result of this Schoenberg withdrew further into the small group of like minded composers e.g. The Second Viennese School. Schoenberg uses pitches and harmonies for effect not because they are related to one another. He is very concerned with the combinations of different instrumental timbres rather than melody and harmony as we understand and use it. Schoenberg enjoyed concealing things in his music; he believed that the intelligent and attentive listener would be able to decipher the deeper meanings. Schoenberg believed that music could express so much more than words and that words detract from the music. As a result of this belief titles for the Five Orchestral Pieces did not appear on the scores until 13 years after they had been composed.

  • The Generalised Hexachord Theorem
    THEOREM OF THE DAY The Generalised Hexachord Theorem Suppose that S is a subset of the set of pitch classes comprising Zn, n even, with |S | = s; then the interval class vectors of S and its complement Zn \ S differ component- wise by |n − 2s|, except for the last component, for which the difference is |n/2 − s|. The interval class vector of S is the vector of length n/2 whose i-th component is the number of pairs a, b ∈ S , a < b, for which min(b − a, n − b + a) = i. For Z12, the integers modulo 12, this is illustrated above, using the opening bars of Chopin’s op. 10, no. 5, for i = 5 (the upper, red, curves in bars 2–3) and i = 2 (the lower, green, curves). The word ‘class’ is used to indicate that no distinction is made between the interval from, say, B♭ down to E♭ (the first red curve) or from B♭ up to E♭; both intervals have value 5 = min(10 − 3, 12 − 10 + 3). The complete interval class vectors have been calculated here using David Walters’ PC Set Calculator, which is attached to Gary Tucker’s excel- lent Introduction to Pitch Class Analysis. The right-hand part of Chopin’s ´etude uses only the five black-key notes of the piano, the complement of this set being all the white keys. The Generalised Hexachord Theorem then tells us that components 1–5 of the corresponding interval classes differ uniformly by 12 − 2 × 5 = 2. The original Hexachord Theorem, due to the composer Milton Babbitt and theorist David Lewin in the 1950s, applies to subsets of exactly six notes out of the twelve note scale, the interval class vectors of this ‘hexachord’ or ‘hexad’ and its complement then being identical.

  • A Study of Musical Rhetoric in JS Bach's Organ Fugues
    A Study of Musical Rhetoric in J. S. Bach’s Organ Fugues BWV 546, 552.2, 577, and 582 A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Division of the College-Conservatory of Music March 2015 by Wei-Chun Liao BFA, National Taiwan Normal University, 1999 MA, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2002 MEd, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2003 Committee Chair: Roberta Gary, DMA Abstract This study explores the musical-rhetorical tradition in German Baroque music and its connection with Johann Sebastian Bach’s fugal writing. Fugal theory according to musica poetica sources includes both contrapuntal devices and structural principles. Johann Mattheson’s dispositio model for organizing instrumental music provides an approach to comprehending the process of Baroque composition. His view on the construction of a subject also offers a way to observe a subject’s transformation in the fugal process. While fugal writing was considered the essential compositional technique for developing musical ideas in the Baroque era, a successful musical-rhetorical dispositio can shape the fugue from a simple subject into a convincing and coherent work. The analyses of the four selected fugues in this study, BWV 546, 552.2, 577, and 582, will provide a reading of the musical-rhetorical dispositio for an understanding of Bach’s fugal writing. ii Copyright © 2015 by Wei-Chun Liao All rights reserved iii Acknowledgements The completion of this document would not have been possible without the help and support of many people.

  • The Consecutive-Semitone Constraint on Scalar Structure: a Link Between Impressionism and Jazz1
    The Consecutive-Semitone Constraint on Scalar Structure: A Link Between Impressionism and Jazz1 Dmitri Tymoczko The diatonic scale, considered as a subset of the twelve chromatic pitch classes, possesses some remarkable mathematical properties. It is, for example, a "deep scale," containing each of the six diatonic intervals a unique number of times; it represents a "maximally even" division of the octave into seven nearly-equal parts; it is capable of participating in a "maximally smooth" cycle of transpositions that differ only by the shift of a single pitch by a single semitone; and it has "Myhill's property," in the sense that every distinct two-note diatonic interval (e.g., a third) comes in exactly two distinct chromatic varieties (e.g., major and minor). Many theorists have used these properties to describe and even explain the role of the diatonic scale in traditional tonal music.2 Tonal music, however, is not exclusively diatonic, and the two nondiatonic minor scales possess none of the properties mentioned above. Thus, to the extent that we emphasize the mathematical uniqueness of the diatonic scale, we must downplay the musical significance of the other scales, for example by treating the melodic and harmonic minor scales merely as modifications of the natural minor. The difficulty is compounded when we consider the music of the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in which composers expanded their musical vocabularies to include new scales (for instance, the whole-tone and the octatonic) which again shared few of the diatonic scale's interesting characteristics. This suggests that many of the features *I would like to thank David Lewin, John Thow, and Robert Wason for their assistance in preparing this article.
