    WIND DRUM The music of WIND DRUM is composed on a six-tone scale. In South India, this scale is called "hamsanandi," in North India, "marava." In North India, this scale would be played before sunset. The notes are C, D flat, E, F sharp, A, and B. PREFACE The mountain island of Hawaii becomes a symbol of an island universe in an endless ocean of nothingness, of space, of sleep. This is the night of Brahma. Time swings back and forth, time, the giant pendulum of the universe. As time swings forward all things waken out of endless slumber, all things grow, dance, and sing. Motion brings storm, whirlwind, tornado, devastation, destruction, and annihilation. All things fall into death. But with total despair comes sudden surprise. The super­ natural commands with infinite majesty. All storms, all motions cease. Only the celestial sounds of the Azura Heavens are heard. Time swings back, death becomes life, resurrection. All things are reborn, grow, dance, and sing. But the spirit of ocean slumber approaches and all things fall back again into sleep and emptiness, the state of endless nothingness symbolized by ocean. The night of Brahma returns. LIBRETTO I VI Stone, water, singing grass, Flute of Azura, Singing tree, singing mountain, Fill heaven with celestial sound! Praise ever-compassionate One. Death, become life! II VII Island of mist, Sun, melt, dissolve Awake from ocean Black-haired mountain storm, Of endless slumber. Life drum sing, III Stone drum ring! Snow mountain, VIII Dance on green hills. Trees singing of branches IV Sway winds, Three hills, Forest dance on hills, Dance on forest, Hills, green, dance on Winds, sway branches Mountain snow.

  • ALAN HOVHANESS: Meditation on Orpheus the Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra William Strickland, Conducting
    ALAN HOVHANESS: Meditation on Orpheus The Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra William Strickland, conducting ALAN HOVHANESS is one of those composers whose music seems to prove the inexhaustability of the ancient modes and of the seven tones of the diatonic scale. He has made for himself one of the most individual styles to be found in the work of any American composer, recognizable immediately for its exotic flavor, its masterly simplicity, and its constant air of discovering unexpected treasures at each turn of the road. Meditation on Orpheus, scored for full symphony orchestra, is typical of Hovhaness’ work in the delicate construction of its sonorities. A single, pianissimo tam-tam note, a tone from a solo horn, an evanescent pizzicato murmur from the violins (senza misura)—these ethereal elements tinge the sound of the middle and lower strings at the work’s beginning and evoke an ambience of mysterious dignity and sensuousness which continues and grows throughout the Meditation. At intervals, a strange rushing sound grows to a crescendo and subsides, interrupting the flow of smooth melody for a moment, and then allowing it to resume, generally with a subtle change of scene. The senza misura pizzicato which is heard at the opening would seem to be the germ from which this unusual passage has grown, for the “rushing” sound—dynamically intensified at each appearance—is produced by the combination of fast, metrically unmeasured figurations, usually played by the strings. The composer indicates not that these passages are to be played in 2/4, 3/4, etc. but that they are to last “about 20 seconds, ad lib.” The notes are to be “rapid but not together.” They produce a fascinating effect, and somehow give the impression that other worldly significances are hidden in the juxtaposition of flow and mystical interruption.

Mikkelson Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Karen Pierson Copyright by Yoon Hee Kim 2013 Abstract The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition, Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School, and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions. Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor, performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire, as well as a history of NFA-sponsored flute choir (1973–2012) will be included in this document.

Great libraries build communities.” I have been thinking a lot about this quotation over the last several months. The author of this statement is R. David Lankes, director of the School of Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina and a well-respected scholar ROBIN A. BEDENBAUGH in the field of librarianship. University Libraries, editor-in-chief I love this notion of great libraries as builders of community. In very few words, Lankes reminds us precisely what is most important about our work. But some have MARTHA RUDOLPH taken exception to this statement, objecting to what they perceive as a dismissal of University Libraries, managing editor collections. I take Lankes to mean that collections are important but are not, and never have been, an end in themselves.

  • SAAKE, GARRETT. D.M.A. the Elements of Neoclassical Style in the Women‟S Choir Compositions of Irving Fine
    SAAKE, GARRETT. D.M.A. The Elements of Neoclassical Style in the Women‟s Choir Compositions of Irving Fine. (2011) Directed by Dr. Welborn Young. 65 pp. The composer Irving Fine died in 1962 at the age of forty-seven cutting short the life of an important figure in twentieth-century American music. Since Fine‟s life was relatively short, his musical output is proportionally small and often goes unstudied. Fine‟s contribution to the choral genre is particularly small but offers a unique perspective of composing for choir. Fine‟s complete oeuvre includes music in many genres that can stylistically be divided into two categories; tonal-neoclassical and atonal- neoclassical. Fine‟s early instrumental compositions are decidedly tonal-neoclassical and ultimately become serially based, a style that characterizes most of his later works. While Fine‟s instrumental music developed towards atonality, his works for women‟s choir did not. The choral music for women‟s choir remained rooted in the tonal- neoclassical style of his early period. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Irving Fine composed choral music for women‟s choir in an operative and nuanced style of choral writing that remained effectively tonally based and in the neoclassical style as understood and applied by Fine and his colleagues. This document places the selected choral works in context through a brief biography and discussion of neoclassicism as the term was understood during Fine‟s compositional period. The biography “Irving Fine: A Composer in His Time” by Phillip Ramey and information from the Irving Fine Collection at the Library of Congress are the primary sources of biographical information.
