A SURVEY OF MODERN COMPANION PIECES OUTLINING SPECIFIC COMPOSITIONAL SIMILARITIES BETWEEN RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS’ DONA NOBIS PACEM AND MACK WILBERG’S REQUIEM AETERNAM AND LET PEACE THEN STILL THE STRIFE by Joel Anthony Dunlap A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School, the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Music at The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Approved by: Dr. Gregory Fuller, Committee Chair Dr. Jonathan Kilgore, Committee Member Dr. Christopher Goertzen, Committee Member Dr. Joseph Brumbeloe, Committee Member Dr. Catherine Rand, Committee Member Dr. Jack L.

Coats Committee Chair Director of School Dean of the Graduate School May 2020 COPYRIGHT BY Joel Anthony Dunlap 2020 Published by the Graduate School ABSTRACT Companion compositions can best be described as musical works composed to specifically coordinate in conjunction with a preexisting musical work. For the sole purpose and intention of complementing or coalescing with another work, the two companion compositions could share similar subject matter, choral/vocal or orchestral themes, and motifs, length, text treatment, context. Evidence in this survey will expound upon various examples of companion compositions from prominent modern-day composers. The primary objective of this research is to study specific compositional characteristics, correlations, and relationships between Mack Wilberg’s two original compositions – Requiem aeternam and Let peace then still the strife with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona nobis pacem. Although additional findings and evidence of companion compositions will be presented, the researcher will largely focus on the two original compositions by Mack Wilberg for the basis of this study and survey. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his gratitude to the dissertation supervisor, Dr. Gregory Fuller, and other committee members: Drs.

Some pieces were commissioned for Mass in G Minor ‘stretching out to the ultimate realities through specific events, or were inspired by particular 1 Kyrie [4.42] the medium of beauty’, enabling an experience performers. But the role of the War in prompting the intensified devotional fervour 2 Gloria in excelsis [4.18] of transcendence both for creator and receiver. Yet – even at its most personal and remote, apparent in many of the works he composed 3 Credo [6.53] as often on this disc – his church music also in its wake should not be overlooked. As a 4 Sanctus – Osanna I – Benedictus – Osanna II [5.21] stands as a public testament to his belief wagon orderly, one of Vaughan Williams’s more 5 Agnus Dei [4.41] in the role of art within the earthly harrowing duties was the recovery of bodies realm of a community’s everyday life. He wounded in battle.

  • 85Th Anniversary of Music and Spoken Word
    For Immediate Release August 07, 2013 Emeritus Conductors Return to Celebrate 85th Anniversary of Music and the Spoken Word Salt Lake City — On Sunday, August 11, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will commemorate the 85th anniversary of its Music and the Spoken Word broadcast. Music director Mack Wilberg has invited two former conductors of the Choir, Jerold Ottley and Craig Jessop, to join him and associate conductor Ryan Murphy in conducting this week’s broadcast. “Music and the Spoken Word has endured as the world’s longest continuously running network broadcast,” says Choir president Ron Jarrett. “In the beginning, listeners strained to hear the program through the static of their crystal radio sets; now fans tune in through YouTube. Music and the Spoken Word has been a constant during a century of dramatic change.” Ottley conducted the Choir from 1974 to 1999 and Jessop from 1999 to 2008. Ottley, Jessop and Wilberg are the only surviving Mormon Tabernacle Choir conductors. The three conductors have collectively served for 34 years — comprising nearly half of the broadcast’s 85 years! During his tenure as Choir conductor, Jerold Ottley traveled internationally with the Choir on more than 20 tours, to places like Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Under his direction, the Choir also performed at the United States presidential inaugurations of Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Under the direction of Craig Jessop, the Choir received the Special Recognition Award from the International Radio and Television Society Foundation and the National Medal of Arts from Mormon Tabernacle Choir Announces Summer Concerts – Page 2 President George W.

The music community was active, certainly, but no English composer since Handel had reached the level of esteem granted the leading continental composers. Leading up to the turn of the 20th century, though, the early stages of a musical renaissance could be seen, with the rise to prominence of Charles Stanford and Hubert Parry, followed by Elgar and Delius.

  • PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Ralph Vaughan Williams – Symphony No. 5 in D Major Born October 12, 1872, Gloucestershire, England. Died August 26, 1958, London, England. Symphony No. 5 in D Major Vaughan Williams made his first sketches for this symphony in 1936, began composition in earnest in 1938, completed the work early in 1943, and made minor revisions in 1951. The first performance was given on June 24, 1943, at a Promenade Concert in Royal Albert Hall, with the composer conducting the London Philharmonic. The score calls for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and english horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings. Performance time is approximately forty-two minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Vaughan Williams’s Fifth Symphony were given at Orchestra Hall on March 22 and 23, 1945, with Désiré Defauw conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on April 16, 17, and 18, 1987, with Leonard Slatkin conducting. Very early in the twentieth century, Ralph Vaughan Williams began to attract attention as a composer of tuneful songs. But, he eventually declared himself a symphonist, and over the next few years—the time of La mer, Pierrot lunaire, and The Rite of Spring—that tendency alone branded him as old-fashioned. His first significant large-scale work, the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, composed in 1910, is indebted to the music of his sixteenth-century predecessor and to the great English tradition. His entire upbringing was steeped in tradition—he was related both to the pottery Wedgwoods and Charles Darwin.

  • Music-Text Relationship in Major Anti-War Masterworks by British Composers
    Music-Text Relationship in Major Anti-War Masterworks by British Composers War Requiem by Benjamin Britten and Dona Nobis Pacem, two of the greatest choral-orchestral masterworks of the twentieth century, will be discussed in terms of the relationship between music and text. The focus of the paper discerns how specifically the composers set the music in order to augment or color the text, which is anti-war in nature, making it deeply meaningful and moving for the listener. Dr. William M. Skoog Elizabeth Daughdrill Endowed Fine Arts Chair, Department of Music Rhodes College, Memphis, Tennessee Department of Music Rhodes College 2000 North Parkway Memphis, TN 38112 8168 Windersville Dr. Bartlett, TN 38133 [email protected] William Skoog, author and presenter In the 1970’s, there was an American popular song with the words: "War,… what is it good for? …absolutely nothing!" The music featured strong rhythmic accents on beats two and four in driving rock patterns; the melody featured a broken line, with something of a violent grunt, depicting those words. The melodic motion was stepwise, almost chant-like in its contour, representing quasi-religious overtones for this text, creating artistic irony. This song was written during the Vietnam War, and became one rallying cry for millions of Americans as an artistic voice against that war. As a musician, one feels acutely compelled to be social-conscious, as art tends to reflect and/or influence society. Music has historically been borne out of a society as a result of conditions surrounding its inception, and has often been a vehicle used to influence society at such times.

Ostoich, D.M.A. Abstract Léon Goossens (1897–1988) was an English oboist considered responsible for restoring the oboe as a solo instrument. During the Romantic era, the oboe was used mainly as an orchestral instrument, not as the solo instrument it had been in the Baroque and Classical eras. A lack of virtuoso oboists and compositions by major composers helped prolong this status. Goossens became the first English oboist to make a career as a full-time soloist and commissioned many British composers to write works for him.

Doctoral Dissertations. 603. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/603 i Nonatonic Harmonic Structures in Symphonies by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax Cameron Logan, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2014 This study explores the pitch structures of passages within certain works by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arnold Bax. A methodology that employs the nonatonic collection (set class 9-12) facilitates new insights into the harmonic language of symphonies by these two composers. The nonatonic collection has received only limited attention in studies of neo-Riemannian operations and transformational theory. This study seeks to go further in exploring the nonatonic‟s potential in forming transformational networks, especially those involving familiar types of seventh chords. An analysis of the entirety of Vaughan Williams‟s Fourth Symphony serves as the exemplar for these theories, and reveals that the nonatonic collection acts as a connecting thread between seemingly disparate pitch elements throughout the work. Nonatonicism is also revealed to be a significant structuring element in passages from Vaughan Williams‟s Sixth Symphony and his Sinfonia Antartica. A review of the historical context of the symphony in Great Britain shows that the need to craft a work of intellectual depth, simultaneously original and traditional, weighed heavily on the minds of British symphonists in the early twentieth century.
