  • The Companion to the Edington Music Festival
    The Priory Church of Saint Mary, Saint Katharine and All Saints, Edington, near Westbury, Wiltshire THE COMPANION TO THE EDINGTON MUSIC FESTIVAL Sunday, 20 August to Sunday, 27 August 2000 1 Contents Introduction Peter Barley Welcome to the Edington Festival of Music within the Liturgy for the year 2000. Whatever one's views on where the millennium really comes, and whether this is really a great birthday for the Church, it is clearly a momentous milestone, and not least for Edington — the forty-fifth festival and the year that sees the launch of the Festival Association. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before him, his glory proclaim. I find these words from the well-known 19th century Epiphany hymn by J.S.B. Monsell (and also familiar from Psalm 96 and settings by Elgar and Wesley) particularly poetic and meaningful when it comes to considering worship at Edington. The beauty of holiness has a special resonance for all those of us lucky enough to be worshippers at this unique Introduction 3 Festival, where we are able to rejoice in, celebrate and relish the quality of our liturgy and worship — its beauty and holiness. Festival & General Information 6 The word 'liturgy' is derived from two Greek words (leitos and ergos) which translate as 'public action'. Thus we have acts of public worship, made up of praise, penitence, prayer Acknowledgements 6 and thanksgiving. Canon Neil Heavisides spoke eloquently and movingly about the life and work of Ralph Dudley on Friends' Day at last year's Festival, and alluded to Dudley's clear vision of liturgy as 'the people's work', where not just music and the spoken word Edington Festival 2001 7 but also deportment was an art.

  • 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.
