Kellerre.Pdf NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Compositional and Orchestrational Trends in the Orchestral Percussion Section Between the Years of 1960-2009 SUBMITTED TO THE MUSIC SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSIC Field of Percussion By Renee E. Keller EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2013 © Copyright by Renee Keller 2013 All Rights Reserved 4 ABSTRACT Compositional and Orchestrational Trends in the Orchestral Percussion Section Between the Years of 1960-2009 Renee E. Keller The purpose of this study was to identify new trends and innovations as regards the orchestral percussion section between the years of 1960-2009. In order identify possible trends this study examined 87 compositions written for orchestra between 1960 and 2009. The necessary historical background identified a number of trends already in use by 1960. Among those were increasing calls for special effects, the introduction and inclusion of the marimba and vibraphone in orchestral music, an increased demand for difficult and important mallet parts, general increases in the size and force of the percussion section, and an increased demand for expanded timpani range and tuning. Scores were examined for those trends as well for new or unusual playing techniques, the prevalence of multi-percussion setups in the orchestra, detail of composer instruction and percussion ensemble in the orchestra. Changing opinions and attitudes regarding percussion which occurred during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century were also documented. The results indicate that a number of changes took place in orchestral percussion writing from 1960-2009. General findings show increased demands on the percussion sections of today compared to the percussion sections of the past in both number of instruments and players. Also noted was an increase in composition for unpitched instruments (i.e. cymbals, triangles, tam-tams, drums, etc.) in a “pitched” way. Additionally, there was an increased prevalence of “multi-percussion” setups in orchestral ensembles as well as more frequent and unusual stick requests made by composers for the various instruments. Some compositional historical precedents were also documented, most notably the technique of bowing crotale and vibraphone bars. New directions in the composition of timpani parts were also discovered, 5 including calls for extreme ranges of tuning, extensive tuning, necessity of tuning gauges and extended techniques such as the glissando. In the final analysis, this study demonstrated conclusively the increased importance of the percussion section to the orchestra. The study also demonstrated that many recent trends are likely to continue into the future. Conclusions and recommendations for further study were included. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................. 4 CHAPTER I.

  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

The four instrument families are: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Today we are going to explore the percussion family. Get your tapping fingers and toes ready! The percussion family includes all of the instruments that are “struck” in some way. We have no official records of when humans first used percussion instruments, but from ancient times, drums have been used for tribal dances and for communications of all kinds. Today, there are more instruments in the percussion family than in any other. They can be grouped into two types: 1. Percussion instruments that make just one pitch. These include: Snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, wood block, gong, maracas and castanets Triangle Castanets Tambourine Snare Drum Wood Block Gong Maracas Bass Drum Cymbals 3 2. Percussion instruments that play different pitches, even a melody. These include: Kettle drums (also called timpani), the xylophone (and marimba), orchestra bells, the celesta and the piano Piano Celesta Orchestra Bells Xylophone Kettle Drum How percussion instruments work There are several ways to get a percussion instrument to make a sound. You can strike some percussion instruments with a stick or mallet (snare drum, bass drum, kettle drum, triangle, xylophone); or with your hand (tambourine).

  • Virtual Musical Field Trip with Maestro Andrew Crust
    YOUR PASSPORT TO A VIRTUAL MUSICAL FIELD TRIP WITH MAESTRO ANDREW CRUST Premier Education Partner Za The Conductor Today, you met Andrew Crust, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Assistant Conductor. He joined the VSO this season in September of 2019. He grew up in Kansas City, and his main instrument is the trumpet. He studied music education and conducting, and has worked with orchestras in Canada, the United States, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Chile, and many other exotic places. The conductor keeps the orchestra in time and together. The conductor serves as a messenger for the composer. It is their responsibility to understand the music and convey it through movements so clearly that the musicians in the orchestra understand it perfectly. Those musicians can then send a unified vision of the music out to the audience. Conductors usually beat time with their right hand. This leaves their left hand free to show the various instruments when they have entries (when they start playing) or to show them to play louder or softer. Most conductors have a stick called a “baton”. It makes it easier for people at the back of large orchestras or choirs to see the beat. Other conductors prefer not to use a baton. A conductor stands on a small platform called a “rostrum”. To be a good conductor is not easy. It is not just a question of giving a steady beat. A good conductor has to know the music extremely well so that they can hear any wrong notes. They need to be able to imagine exactly the sound they want the orchestra to make.

An Analysis of Honegger’s Cello Concerto (1929): A Return to Simplicity? Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 58 pp., 3 tables, 28 examples, 33 references, 15 titles. Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.

I see my music now as a synthesis of these elements, combined with what I learned from Grisey and the spectralists, and I detect from Kraft to my latest pieces the same underlying tastes and sense of drama.” – Magnus Lindberg The shift in musical thinking that Magnus Lindberg thus described in December 2012, a few weeks before the premiere of Era, was utter and profound. Lindberg’s composer profile has evolved from his early edgy modernism, “carved in stone” to use his own words, to the softer and more sonorous idiom that he has embraced recently, suggesting a spiritual kinship with late Romanticism and the great masters of the early 20th century. On the other hand, in the same comment Lindberg also mentioned features that have remained constant in his music, including his penchant for drama going back to the early defiantly modernistKraft (1985).
