Humbert Lucarelli: Oboe Artist HUMBERT LUCARELLI: OBOE ARTIST D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bradley Michael Walsh B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Document Committee: Professor Robert Sorton, Advisor Dr. Daryl Kinney Professor Karen Pierson Professor Mark Rudoff Copyright by Bradley Michael Walsh 2011 ABSTRACT Humbert Lucarelli is recognized as one of the world’s leading oboe soloists of the twentieth century. The New Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians, lists Mr. Lucarelli as one of America’s most renowned oboists. His career has spanned six decades, and in that time, he has forged a unique career that is rare in American oboe playing. To his credit, he has recorded hundreds of works and has had commissions and premiere performances of over one hundred compositions for solo oboe by many celebrated composers. Lucarelli’s performances have been reviewed in over two hundred newspapers around the world. Since 1968, Lucarelli has also been active as a teacher at The Hartt School of Music in West Hartford, Connecticut. He taught at other prestigious schools of music in the United States, at summer festivals, and at music schools throughout the world. An advocate of the oboe as a solo instrument, Mr. Lucarelli has also been responsible for creating competitions for young professional oboists. This document provides biographical information on Mr. Lucarelli’s career and how it evolved into something other than the orchestral career for which he trained. Bypassing offers from the Baltimore Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony and the ii Houston Symphony, Mr. Lucarelli created a career as the first leading solo oboe artist in America. Documented here are insights into his pedagogical practices. This document provides historical background for the oboe concerto composed for him by John Corigliano. Further, discrepancies that exist between Mr. Lucarelli’s premiere recording of the concerto and the published edition by G. Schirmer are outlined. Additionally, a listing of Lucarelli’s recorded works is provided. The discography is arranged in chronological order and provides detailed information on each recording. Finally, the document contains a list of his published performance editions and transcripts of personal interviews between the author and Mr. Lucarelli. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Mr. Lucarelli for his cooperation in this project. Without his willingness to help me, this document would not have been possible. I would also like to thank him for access to programs, recordings, pictures, oboe manuscripts and generosity of his time to interview him. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Lucarelli for inspiring me musically from early on in my childhood. Without your recordings to listen to, I doubt that I would have ever continued playing the oboe. I am always amazed by your modesty and generosity toward others. I would like to thank my wife for giving her support throughout my degree and providing me with encouragement when things felt impossible. I would also like to give her an enormous thank you for taking care of our three young children when I needed time to work. You were always there for me and for that I love you. I would also like to thank my children for inspiring me to achieve. I would like to thank Joan Voveris (Aunt) who has had an integral role in my music endeavors. Without your financial support and your belief in me I would have never made it. I would also like to thank my mother for introducing me to the oboe and the recordings of Mr. Lucarelli at an early age. I would like to thank my father who more iv than anyone has taught me the value of hard work and determination. I would like to thank God for getting me through my entire education. I would like to thank the following teachers who along the way showed genuine interest in me and pushed me to excel: Ellen Flint, Jerome Campbell, Thomas Heinze, Mark Nelson, Richard Lundahl, Linda Willis, and Joe Kreines. Lastly, I would like to thank my committee members for their willingness to help me and participate in my education. Special thanks to Professor Sorton for helping me throughout this degree and providing me with a graduate teaching position. I am always amazed by your talents as a teacher and oboist. I would like to thank Professor Pierson for her encouragement and willingness to take me on as a bassoon student. I would like to thank Dr. Kinney and Professor Rudoff for their willingness to participate in my education. v VITA 1976………………………………………………………………………………………………...Born, Champaign, IL 1998……………………………………………………………………………………………….……Bachelor of Music Music Education Wilkes University 1997-1998………………………………………………………………….……………………………….Oboe Faculty Wilkes University Community Division 2000………………..……………………………………………………………………………………..Master of Music Hartt School of Music 1999-2000……………………………………………………………………………………….…..….....Oboe Faculty Hartt School Community Division 1998-2000…..……………………………………………………………………….……….……Graduate Assistant Hartt School of Music 2001-Present…………………………………………………….……………........Second Oboe/English Horn Central Ohio Symphony Orchestra 2001-2005……………………………………………………………………………………….……………………….Extra Mansfield Symphony Orchestra 2003-2008……………………………………………………………………………………..……..…Music Educator Columbus City Schools 2005-2006……………………………………………………………………………….……………………………….Extra Columbus Bach Ensemble 2005-Present………………………………………………………….…………………………………..Second Oboe Newark-Granville Symphony Orchestra vi 2006-Present……………………………………………………………….……….…….…………….Principal Oboe Southeast Ohio Symphony Orchestra 2008-2009…………………………………………………………………………..Graduate Teaching Associate School of Music The Ohio State University 2008-Present………………………………………………………………………………………….……..Utility Oboe Springfield Symphony Orchestra 2008-Present…………………………………………………………………………………….……..Music Educator Columbus City Schools 2009…………………………………………………………………………………………………........………………Extra Roanoke Symphony Orchestra FIELDS OF STUDY Major Field: Music Area of Emphasis: Oboe Performance vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………ii Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………………………………………….iv Vita…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....vi List of Illustrations……………………………..………………………………………………………………….…...x List of Figures……………………………………..……….…………………………………………………….........xii Chapter One: Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Biographic Summary…………………………………………………………….………………1 Need for Study……………………………………………………………………………………..4 Purpose of Study………………………………………………………………………………….6 Review of Literature……………………………………………………………….……….…..6 Definition of Terms………………………………………………………………….…………..9 Limitations of the Study……..………………………………………………………………10 viii Chapter 2: Childhood and Early Career…………………………………………………………………………11 Chapter 3: Solo Career………………………………………………………………..………….…………………...23 Chapter 4: Corigliano Concerto History and Background….……………..……….………………….31 Chapter 5: Performance Discrepancies…..………………………………………..……….…………………41 Chapter 6: Recording Solo Artist…………………………………………………………….….…………………50 Chapter 7: Educator…………………………………………………………………………………….….……………55 Chapter 8: Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………….………….……61 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..….67 Appendix: A Humbert Lucarelli’s Solo and Chamber Music Discography…………….….…69 Appendix: B Humbert Lucarelli’s International Publishing Editions ……………….….………88 Appendix: C Personal Interview Transcripts with Humbert Lucarelli……………………..….90 Interview with Humbert Lucarelli November 13, 2010…………………………………………........90 Interview Two with Humbert Lucarelli, November 14, 2010……………………….…….…...102 Interview Three with Humbert Lucarelli, November 15, 2010………………………………….…113 ix LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS Illustration 1: Lucarelli with the Florida Symphony……………………………………………..……….17 Illustration 2: Lucarelli’s Tully Hall Concert Advertisement………………..…………………..……26 Illustration 3: Lucarelli practicing with rock band……………………………….……………………….28 Illustration 4: Lucarelli performing with rock band……………………………….…………………….28 Illustration 5: Program of Bert Lucarelli and Musemorphoses……………….…………………...29 Illustration 6: Program of World Premiere of Oboe Concerto………………….…….…….……..37 Illustration 7: Program Notes of World Premiere of Oboe Concerto…………..…….…………38 Illustration 8: Program of Lucarelli with Martha Graham Dance Company.……..….………40 Illustration 9: Front View of the Puff…………………………………………………………….………...…..59 Illustration 10: Side View of the Puff……………………………………………………………….…….…….59 Illustration 11: Front View of Puff Early 1970’s……………………………………………….……….….60 Illustration 12: Side Angle of Puff……………………………………………………………………………….60 Illustration 13: Front of concert flyer……………………………………………..………………………….63 x Illustration 14: Back of concert flyer……………………….....................................................64 xi LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: Mvt.

  • 1 Making the Clarinet Sing
    Making the Clarinet Sing: Enhancing Clarinet Tone, Breathing, and Phrase Nuance through Voice Pedagogy 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 Alyssa Rose Powell, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Document Committee Dr. Caroline A. Hartig, Advisor Dr. Scott McCoy Dr. Eugenia Costa-Giomi Professor Katherine Borst Jones 1 Copyrighted by Alyssa Rose Powell 2020 2 Abstract The clarinet has been favorably compared to the human singing voice since its invention and continues to be sought after for its expressive, singing qualities. How is the clarinet like the human singing voice? What facets of singing do clarinetists strive to imitate? Can voice pedagogy inform clarinet playing to improve technique and artistry? This study begins with a brief historical investigation into the origins of modern voice technique, bel canto, and highlights the way it influenced the development of the clarinet. Bel canto set the standards for tone, expression, and pedagogy in classical western singing which was reflected in the clarinet tradition a hundred years later. Present day clarinetists still use bel canto principles, implying the potential relevance of other facets of modern voice pedagogy. Singing techniques for breathing, tone conceptualization, registration, and timbral nuance are explored along with their possible relevance to clarinet performance. The singer ‘in action’ is presented through an analysis of the phrasing used by Maria Callas in a portion of ‘Donde lieta’ from Puccini’s La Bohème. This demonstrates the influence of text on interpretation for singers.

  • Billy Bob Thornton Interview
    A Conversation with Billy Bob Thornton by Frank Goodman Puremusic 1/2002 I had known that Billy Bob was slated to star in the new Travis Tritt video, “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde.” Brother JB is our publisher, and he and my brother-in-law Gary Falcon manage Travis, so I’d been privy to the video developments. Everybody was up about it, it was obviously not going to be your average Country video. It doesn’t take much to get me to pack a suitcase and go almost anywhere, my gypsy ways never changed. So when it occurred to JB that flying me out to L.A. might land us a Puremusic interview with Billy Bob Thornton about his new record, I was basically in the air. I didn’t mind waiting for JB to turn up at LAX a couple of hours after me, I was engrossed in Ann Patchett’s The Magician’s Assistant, and having a big time. We got out to the high desert location, outside Palmdale. There’s an old abandoned little motel out there called The Four Aces, it’s used exclusively for videos and movies today. The desert’s funny like that. Something goes out of business, they just leave it there and walk away, let the elements have at it. I took some pictures of this old Spanish-style mortuary, I liked the sign that said “Open.” I really enjoyed the record, Private Radio. I know, we don’t usually cotton to records by actors. Visions of William Shatner singing “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” or the shocking crooning of Jim Nabors comes to mind.

  • JS BACH (1685-1750): Violin and Oboe Concertos
    BACH 703 - J. S. BACH (1685-1750) : Violin and Oboe Concertos Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21 st , l685, the son of Johann Ambrosius, Court Trumpeter for the Duke of Eisenach and Director of the Musicians of the town of Eisenach in Thuringia. For many years, members of the Bach family throughout Thuringia had held positions such as organists, town instrumentalists, or Cantors, and the family name enjoyed a wide reputation for musical talent. By the year 1703, 18-year-old Johann Sebastian had taken up his first professional position: that of Organist at the small town of Arnstadt. Then, in 1706 he heard that the Organist to the town of Mülhausen had died. He applied for the post and was accepted on very favorable terms. However, a religious controversy arose in Mülhausen between the Orthodox Lutherans, who were lovers of music, and the Pietists, who were strict puritans and distrusted art. So it was that Bach again looked around for more promising possibilities. The Duke of Weimar offered him a post among his Court chamber musicians, and on June 25, 1708, Bach sent in his letter of resignation to the authorities at Mülhausen. The Weimar years were a happy and creative time for Bach…. until in 1717 a feud broke out between the Duke of Weimar at the 'Wilhelmsburg' household and his nephew Ernst August at the 'Rote Schloss’. Added to this, the incumbent Capellmeister died, and Bach was passed over for the post in favor of the late Capellmeister's mediocre son. Bach was bitterly disappointed, for he had lately been doing most of the Capellmeister's work, and had confidently expected to be given the post.
