  • The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000
    The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000: A Performative and Analytical Study, with a Catalogue Raisonné of the Extant Works Analytical Study: The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000: A Study of Instrumental Techniques, Forms and Genres, with a Catalogue Raisonné of the Extant Corpus By Brandon Philip Jones ORCHID ID# 0000-0001-9083-9907 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2018 Faculty of Fine Arts and Music The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT The Conservatoire de Paris concours were a consistent source of new literature for the trumpet and cornet from 1835 to 2000. Over this time, professors and composers added over 172 works to the repertoire. Students and professionals have performed many of these pieces, granting long-term popularity to a select group. However, the majority of these works are not well-known. The aim of this study is to provide students, teachers, and performers with a greater ability to access these works. This aim is supported in three ways: performances of under-recorded literature; an analysis of the instrumental techniques, forms and genres used in the corpus; and a catalogue raisonné of all extant contest works. The performative aspect of this project is contained in two compact discs of recordings, as well as a digital video of a live recital. Twenty-six works were recorded; seven are popular works in the genre, and the other nineteen are works that are previously unrecorded. The analytical aspect is in the written thesis; it uses the information obtained in the creation of the catalogue raisonné to provide an overview of the corpus in two vectors.

The reality lies in the middle, in which many individuals participated in resistance or collaboration in a variety of degrees. I argue that composing, performing, and listening to music are substantial resistant acts, using the resistance movements in Occupied Paris as a case study. This study has two overarching goals.

  • Biographies of the Composers | Biographies Des Compositeurs Myriam Bleau Myriam Bleau Explore L'utilisation D'objets Famil
    Biographies of the composers | Biographies des compositeurs Myriam Bleau Myriam Bleau explore l’utilisation d’objets familiers dans des performances où elle donne vie à ses aspirations esthétiques à l’aide de ses instruments étranges conçus sur mesure, évoquant un hybride futuriste entre une platine et un disque ou encore par l’utilisation d’objets quotidiens produisant une musique d’un autre monde. En intégrant son bagage de multiinstrumentiste – elle joue du violoncelle, de la guitare et du piano, en plus des instruments de sa propre création – à l’art audiovisuel, Bleau crée des installations sonores et des interfaces musicales s’animant à l’extérieur de l’écran, ainsi que des systèmes complexes lui permettant d’explorer la frontière délimitant la performance musicale et les arts numériques. Sa musique électronique hybride intègre des rythmes réguliers et des mélodies parfois reconnaissables à des ambiances électroacoustiques. Örjan Sandred Örjan Sandred is a composer of both instrumental and computer music. His instrumental works reach from music for Symphony Orchestra to solo instruments. Several of his later compositions show an increased interest in mixed music, where acoustic instruments are combined with live electronics. He has composed music for performers in many countries, for example the Harrington/Loewen Duo (Ice Fog for saxophone, piano and live electronics), Sarah Jo Kirsch (A Ghasal, soprano and live electronics) and Oleg Pokhanovski (Sundogs for violin and live electronics) in Kanada, Camilla Hoitenga and Heloïse Dautry (Whirl of Leaves, flute and harp) in Germany/France, The Pearls Before Swine Experience (Fragments of Light), Das Orchestra (Flames and Blazes, blfl, tbn, vlc) and Mårten Falk (Cracks and Corrosion I, guitar and live electronics) in Sweden.

  • MUSIC and the ECLIPSE of MODERNISM By
    SIGNAL TO NOISE: MUSIC AND THE ECLIPSE OF MODERNISM By MATTHEW FRIEDMAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of T.J. Jackson Lears and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Signal to Noise: Music and the Eclipse of Modernism By MATTHEW FRIEDMAN Dissertation Director: T.J. Jackson Lears There was danger in the modern American soundscape; the danger of interruption and disorder. The rhetoric of postwar aural culture was preoccupied with containing sounds and keeping them in their appropriate places. The management and domestication of noise was a critical political and social issue in the quarter century following the Second World War. It was also an aesthetic issue. Although technological noise was celebrated in modern American literature, music and popular culture as a signal of technological sublime and the promise of modern rationality in the US, after 1945 noise that had been exceptional and sublime became mundane. Technological noise was resignified as "pollution" and narrated as the aural detritus of modernity. Modern music reinforced this project through the production of hegemonic fields of representation that legitimized the discursive boundaries of modernity and delegitimized that which lay outside of them. Postwar American modernist composers, reconfigured as technical specialists, developed a hyper-rational idiom of "total control" which sought to discipline aural disorder and police the boundaries between aesthetically- acceptable music and sound and disruptive noise.

Tout de suite, cette musique, en apparence si simple et si évidente, mais si profonde, me séduisit. Ma curiosité quant à ce compositeur n'étant guère satisfaite par les quelques renseignements que je pus trouver dans des ouvrages généraux, je proposai à Madame Danièle Pistone, alors mon professeur d'histoire de la musique à la Sorbonne, de travailler dans le cadre d'une maîtrise sur la vie et l'oeuvre de Claude Arrieu. J'espère par ce travail susciter à mon tour la curiosité d'interprètes qui trouveront dans le catalogue abondant et surtout attachant de Claude Arrieu de quoi satisfaire leur appétit musical. » Douze ans ont passé depuis que j'ai écrit ces lignes en avant- propos de mon mémoire de maîtrise 1.

  • A Descriptive Analysis of Three
    A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THREE FRENCH WORKS FOR CHAMBER WINDS FROM THE CONDUCTOR’S PERSPECTIVE A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF MUSIC BY MADISON ARGO DR. THOMAS CANEVA - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, IN MAY 2021 Argo 1 A Descriptive Analysis of Three French Works for Chamber Winds from the Conductor’s Perspective The development of the modern-day wind band has progressed over several centuries and gained acclaim throughout the world. Prior to the establishment of these independent wind bands, composers wrote for the wind sections of the orchestra that consisted of only wind instruments. Beginning around the eighteenth century, this style of chamber music was known in the military as “harmoniemusik” and provided some of the earliest compositions available for winds only. The instrumentation for harmoniemusik varied depending on the geographic location of the ensemble, but was based on a core group of approximately four to six instruments. Eventually, the instrumentation for harmoniemusik ensembles was recognized as eight players, consisting of two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons and two horns.1 With the contributions made by French composers Francois-Joseph Gossec and Charles- Simon Catel, harmoniemusik ensembles began performing more frequently at outdoor entertainment concerts during the French Revolution.2 Gossec, Catel, and Bernard Sarrette – a National Guard captain who had no musical training or experiences – insisted on creating an
