  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

  • The Issue of Size: a Glimpse Into the History of the Violoncello Piccolo
    Page 1 The Issue of Size: A Glimpse into the History of the Violoncello Piccolo by Johanna Randvere Early Music Department University of the Arts, Sibelius Academy April 2020 Page 2 Abstract The aim of this research is to find out whether, how and why the size, tuning and the number of strings of the cello in the 17th and 18th centuries varied. There are multiple reasons to believe that the instrument we now recognize as a cello has not always been as clearly defined as now. There are written theoretical sources, original survived instruments, iconographical sources and cello music that support the hypothesis that smaller-sized cellos – violoncelli piccoli – were commonly used among string players of Europe in the Baroque era. The musical examples in this paper are based on my own experience as a cellist and viol player. The research is historically informed (HIP) and theoretically based on treatises concerning instruments from the 17th and the 18th centuries as well as articles by colleagues around the world. In the first part of this paper I will concentrate on the history of the cello, possible reasons for its varying dimensions and how the size of the cello affects playing it. Because this article is quite cello-specific, I have included a chapter concerning technical vocabulary in order to make my text more understandable also for those who are not acquainted with string instruments. In applying these findings to the music written for the piccolo, the second part of the article focuses on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, namely cantatas with obbligato piccolo part, Cello Suite No.

  • Secrets of Stradivarius' Unique Violin Sound Revealed, Prof Says 22 January 2009
    Secrets Of Stradivarius' unique violin sound revealed, prof says 22 January 2009 Nagyvary obtained minute wood samples from restorers working on Stradivarius and Guarneri instruments ("no easy trick and it took a lot of begging to get them," he adds). The results of the preliminary analysis of these samples, published in "Nature" in 2006, suggested that the wood was brutally treated by some unidentified chemicals. For the present study, the researchers burned the wood slivers to ash, the only way to obtain accurate readings for the chemical elements. They found numerous chemicals in the wood, among them borax, fluorides, chromium and iron salts. Violin "Borax has a long history as a preservative, going back to the ancient Egyptians, who used it in mummification and later as an insecticide," For centuries, violin makers have tried and failed to Nagyvary adds. reproduce the pristine sound of Stradivarius and Guarneri violins, but after 33 years of work put into "The presence of these chemicals all points to the project, a Texas A&M University professor is collaboration between the violin makers and the confident the veil of mystery has now been lifted. local drugstore and druggist at the time. Their probable intent was to treat the wood for Joseph Nagyvary, a professor emeritus of preservation purposes. Both Stradivari and biochemistry, first theorized in 1976 that chemicals Guarneri would have wanted to treat their violins to used on the instruments - not merely the wood and prevent worms from eating away the wood because the construction - are responsible for the distinctive worm infestations were very widespread at that sound of these violins.

After 50 years of deepest meditation, Tung, a man of genius, invented the bow, while stretching his bamboo stick with a bundle of horsehair. Even today we still think of him with the greatest respect. Unfortunately the original model, alleged to have had great mythical power, is irretrievably lost, but in spite of this, there are always adventurers who still go in search of the wonderful original.

  • Basic Music Theory and History for Strings
    L66VA Wendy Barden & Terry Shade Basic Music Theory and History for Strings Workbook 2 • Viola Welcome to Basic Music Theory and History for Strings Workbook 2! Music theory is all about the rules for writing music. In pages 2-25, we study some of the basic rules that were agreed to centuries ago including: • Organizing pitches into key signatures, major scales, and minor scales • Recognizing intervals and scale degrees • Organizing rhythms and rests into time signatures • Describing the form of melodies • Connecting written music to playing string instruments In pages 26-48, we visit several cultures around the world to see how these rules were used and more! Our study includes: • Discovering some of the different music styles played on violin, viola, cello or double bass • Discovering other string instruments that are also played with a bow • Describing common characteristics of the musical style or tradition • Evaluating musical performances • Making connections to other people and events • Connecting different music styles to playing your instrument Be curious! Learning about music theory and history can be very interesting, and it also helps you become a stronger musician. Basic Music Theory and History Workbook 2 is supported with audio tracks and country & world maps. The audio tracks provide rhythmic and melodic ear training exercises.

  • Characterization of the Varnishes from Historical Musical Instruments
    Universit`adegli Studi di Palermo DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN SCIENZE CHIMICHE SSD CHIM/12 Chimica dell’Ambiente e Beni Culturali Caratterizzazione delle vernici da antichi strumenti musicali — Characterization of the varnishes from historical musical instruments Candidato: Tutor e Cotutor: Francesco Caruso Prof. Eugenio Caponetti e Prof.ssa Delia Francesca Chillura Martino Coordinatore: Prof. Michelangelo Gruttadauria XXII ciclo – A.A. 2008–2010 Abstract The characterization of materials such as glues, paints, pigments, binders and varnishes used to create artworks, continues to provide art historians and conservators with precious information. Such a knowledge enables restora- tion and conservation processes to be carried out properly without causing any damage to the original artefacts and also helps to understand the tech- niques used by the artists. The varnishing of musical instruments has been an interesting debating point since the end of the 19th century for lute-makers and industries focused onto the (re)production of high quality instruments. To date, there is considerable scientific interest in recovering the original formulations (the secrets of the old masters) and transferring such knowledge to restorers, conservators, lute-makers and musicologists. Ample scientific efforts have been made to identify the organic and the inorganic portions of the surface layers of several historical stringed instru- ments, although the interest has mainly been focused on North-Italian ones. This doctoral dissertation is devoted to the use of a non standard multi- analytical method for the characterization of the varnish of a selection of historical stringed musical instruments from the \Musical Instruments Mu- seum" in Brussels and the \Vincenzo Bellini" Conservatory in Palermo.

  • Developing a Personal Vocabulary for Solo Double Bass Through Assimilation of Extended Techniques and Preparations
    Developing a Personal Vocabulary for Solo Double Bass Through Assimilation of Extended Techniques and Preparations Thomas Botting This thesis is submitted in partial requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Sydney Conservatorium of Music The University of Sydney 2019 i Statement of Originality This is to certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Thomas Botting November 8th, 2018 ii Abstract This research focuses on the development of a personal musical idiolect for solo double bass through the assimilation of extended techniques and preparations. The research documents the process from inception to creative output. Through an emergent, practice-led initial research phase, I fashion a developmental framework for assimilating new techniques and preparations into my musical vocabulary.The developmental framework has the potential to be linear, reflexive or flexible depending on context, and as such the tangible outcomes can be either finished creative works, development of new techniques, or knowledge about organisational aspects of placing the techniques in musical settings. Analysis of creative works is an integral part of the developmental framework and forms the bulk of this dissertation. The analytical essays within contain new knowledge about extended techniques, their potential and limitations, and realities inherent in their use in both compositional and improvisational contexts. Video, audio, notation and photos are embedded throughout the dissertation and form an integral part of the research project.
