No one tends offhand to associate gamelan with MIT. but there it is. Professor Evan Ziporyn has been directing the gong kebyar ensemble Gamelan Galak Tika at MIT since 1993, and I was an active member from 1994 until 1997. Unfortunately the pressure of my studies at Wesleyan has not allowed me to play with Galak Tika as much as I would like in the past few years. For the three years of my tenure with Galak Tika we were blessed with the artistry of the Balinese husband and wife team of I Nyoman Catra and Desak Made Suarti Laksmi. The magnificent teaching and performance prowess of Evan, Catra and Desak formed the basis of my introduction to gamelan music. In 1997 I came to Wesleyan University to study for the degree of Master of Arts in Music, of which this thesis is a part. Here at Wesleyan I have had the great honor of studying with I. M. Harjito and Sumarsam, two Javanese artists. I sincerely thank them for broadening my awareness of the multifaceted natures of Indonesian music and for sharing with me the great beauty of the central Javanese court gamelan.

  • The Commissioned Flute Choir Pieces Presented By
    THE COMMISSIONED FLUTE CHOIR PIECES PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE FLUTE CHOIRS AND NFA SPONSORED FLUTE CHOIRS AT NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTIONS WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLUTE CHOIR AND ITS REPERTOIRE 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 Yoon Hee Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Russel C. 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.

    THE JOURNAL OF THE POLYNESIAN SOCIETY VOLUME 126 No.3 SEPTEMBER 2017 INSTRUMENTS IN MOTION: FLUTES, HARMONICAS AND THE INTERPLAY OF SOUND AND SILENCE IN COLONIAL MICRONESIA BRIAN DIETTRICH Victoria University of Wellington The few native musical instruments are now obsolete or nearly so and are replaced by the guitar, harmonica, and ukulele (Fischer and Fischer 1957: 203) Music enters the history of empire as silence (Bohlman 2016: 174) While I was residing in the islands of Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia, friends told me a story about a musical instrument no longer seen or heard in the islands but not completely without a presence. I first listened to this tale in 2001 and again in subsequent years. In accounts of the story—said to date from the German colonial administration (1899–1914)—the identity of the instrument was not always clear, but most believed it to be the aangún, a nose flute made of bamboo or mangrove root but not regularly constructed or played since the mid-20th century. The word aangún can be translated as ‘soft-sounder’, a term that designates its delicate tone, but the name also calls to mind its quiet place in histories of Chuuk. The story about the instrument relates how a group of men from one village planned to ambush those from another as part of traditional warfare practices. Although the warring party disguised their plans, one knowledgeable man who knew how to play the instrument sounded a coded warning to his village after he learned about the intentions of the visitors.
