The first recital was based on Francis Poulenc’s Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano, completed in 1926 and the second was based on Jean Françaix’s Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano written in 1994. In each lecture, compositional elements and influences were examined to highlight the impact of neo-classicism on the composer. The purpose of this research is to examine two French Trios in order to provide a musical perspective of neo-classicism during the early and late twentieth century. In studying both works it quickly becomes apparent that while Poulenc and Françaix used traditional formal models and tonalities for inspiration, they were still writing new music during the twentieth century. As a result, a multitude of twentieth century compositional devices such as planing, octatonicism, and chromaticism are used to embellish the neo-classical music of these composers. By exploring the neo-classical compositional elements in each work, one can see a clear connection between Poulenc’s Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano and Françaix’s Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano. Each composer aspired to write music that was easily understood, while combining classical artistic values and twentieth century techniques to create truly ‘neo’- classical works. Due to their popularity and exposure, the Poulenc Trio and the Françaix Trio are now considered “standards” for this combination of instruments. By studying these trios, we are able to gain greater musical perspective, as we examine the influence of neo-classicism on these composers during the early and late twentieth century. vii INTRODUCTION From 1914 to 1918 World War I devastated Europe. Along with its population and infrastructure, the “Great War” tremendously impacted the once positive and hopeful attitudes of the entire western world regarding the new twentieth century. Across Europe there was a renewed longing for music of a simpler and more pleasant nature.1 German culture had largely dominated Europe in the nineteenth century and nowhere was this more evident than in the music of the great German romantic composers such as Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, and Mahler. Their music not only represented the country that was widely blamed for the conflict, but also the emotional and idealistic national pride that had helped launch the world into war.2 In addition to the romantic composers, the “Second Viennese School,” which was focused on utilizing a new harmonic language based on Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system, was also taking shape before and after the war. In its essence, the French neo-classical movement was a reaction against German romanticism, French impressionism, and the early twentieth century atonal language that represented the emotionalism and shapelessness of the past two decades. The years after the “Great War” were truly a movement of “neo” classicism in France. For a group of six young French composers, the writings of Jean Cocteau and the music of Erik Satie became extremely

  • Instruments of the Orchestra
    INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA String Family WHAT: Wooden, hollow-bodied instruments strung with metal strings across a bridge. WHERE: Find this family in the front of the orchestra and along the right side. HOW: Sound is produced by a vibrating string that is bowed with a bow made of horse tail hair. The air then resonates in the hollow body. Other playing techniques include pizzicato (plucking the strings), col legno (playing with the wooden part of the bow), and double-stopping (bowing two strings at once). WHY: Composers use these instruments for their singing quality and depth of sound. HOW MANY: There are four sizes of stringed instruments: violin, viola, cello and bass. A total of forty-four are used in full orchestras. The string family is the largest family in the orchestra, accounting for over half of the total number of musicians on stage. The string instruments all have carved, hollow, wooden bodies with four strings running from top to bottom. The instruments have basically the same shape but vary in size, from the smaller VIOLINS and VIOLAS, which are played by being held firmly under the chin and either bowed or plucked, to the larger CELLOS and BASSES, which stand on the floor, supported by a long rod called an end pin. The cello is always played in a seated position, while the bass is so large that a musician must stand or sit on a very high stool in order to play it. These stringed instruments developed from an older instrument called the viol, which had six strings.

  • African-American Bassoonists and Their Representation Within the Classical Music Environment
    African-American Bassoonists and Their Representation within the Classical Music Environment 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 Ian Anthony Bell, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Karen Pierson, Advisor Doctor Arved Ashby Professor Katherine Borst Jones Doctor Russel Mikkelson Copyrighted by Ian Anthony Bell 2019 Abstract This paper is the culmination of a research study to gauge the representation of professional African-American orchestral bassoonists. Are they adequately represented? If they are not adequately represented, what is the cause? Within a determined set of parameters, prominent orchestras and opera companies were examined. Of the 342 orchestral and opera companies studied, there are 684 positions for bassoonists. Sixteen of these jobs are currently held by African-Americans. Some of these musicians hold positions in more than one organization reducing the study to twelve black bassoonists. Translated to a percentage, .022% of the professional bassoonists within these groups are African-American, leading the author to believe that the African-American bassoon community is underrepresented in American orchestras and opera companies. This study also contains a biography of each of the twelve bassoonists. In addition, four interviews and five questionnaires were completed by prominent African- American bassoonists. Commonalities were identified, within their lives and backgrounds, illuminating some of the reasons for their success. Interview participants included Rufus Olivier Jr. (San Francisco Opera), Joshua Hood (Charlotte Symphony Orchestra), Monica Ellis (Imani Winds), Alexander Davis (fellowship recipient), and Andrew Brady (Atlanta Symphony Orchestra).

  • Instrument Descriptions
    RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it.

  • Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire
    Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire by Peter Hurd; reorganized and amended by Holger Hoos, editor-in-chief since 2020 version 1.2 (21 March 2021) This collection is based on the catalogue of musical works requiring heckelphone or bass oboe instrumen- tation assembled by Peter Hurd beginning in 1998. For this new edition, the original version of the repertoire list has been edited for accuracy, completeness and consistency, and it has been extended with a number of newly discovered pieces. Some entries could not (yet) be rigorously verified for accuracy; these were included nonetheless, to provide leads for future investigation, but are marked clearly. Pieces were selected for inclusion based solely on the use of heckelphone, bass oboe or lupophone, without any attempt at assessing their artistic merit. Arrangements of pieces not originally intended for these instruments were included when there was clear evidence that they had found a significant audience. The authors gratefully acknowledge contributions by Michael Finkelman, Alain Girard, Thomas Hiniker, Robert Howe, Gunther Joppig, Georg Otto Klapproth, Mark Perchanok, Andrew Shreeves and Michael Sluman.

  • Oboe & Cor Anglais
    University of Melbourne Symphonic Ensembles 2021 Auditions: Oboe & Cor Anglais Please prepare all excerpts from your chosen instrument. Need help preparing excerpts? Start now, by: • Listening to the pieces in their entirety, with full scores. Recordings of some of these excerpts are available online. Listen to the orchestras that you’ve heard of, first. Berlin, Chicago, New York, Vienna etc. Scores are available in the music library, or through web resources such as: o http://imslp.org/ o http://archives.nyphil.org/ • Do your initial work of sorting out tempos, all of the notes, intervals and rhythms first. Do all of this AWAY from your instrument. • Once you’ve got the tempo, notes, intervals, rhythms sorted, record yourself playing ONE phrase of an excerpt. Listen to the professional version, and then listen back to your version. Name something specific that is better about the professional recording. Learn to do that specific thing. Repeat process until they are the same. • Once you have the excerpts to a solid level of performance, record three of them in a row. Take a break, then come back and listen. Write down several specific things you know you need to fix, then spend 10 minutes working fix ONE of those specific things. • Take several excerpts (random order) and perform as a pretend audition. Always record these mock auditions. Sometimes play them in front of your parents, or sibling, or even your dog! No comments needed, just an audience. • Repeat every day (after a nice warm-up). Use the recording to decide what basics you’ll work on tonight or tomorrow morning before your next mock audition.
