  • Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano
    COLOMBIAN NATIONALISM: FOUR MUSICAL PERSPECTIVES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO by Ana Maria Trujillo A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Major: Music The University of Memphis December 2011 ABSTRACT Trujillo, Ana Maria. DMA. The University of Memphis. December/2011. Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano. Dr. Kenneth Kreitner, Ph.D. This paper explores the Colombian nationalistic musical movement, which was born as a search for identity that various composers undertook in order to discover the roots of Colombian musical folklore. These roots, while distinct, have all played a significant part in the formation of the culture that gave birth to a unified national identity. It is this identity that acts as a recurring motif throughout the works of the four composers mentioned in this study, each representing a different stage of the nationalistic movement according to their respective generations, backgrounds, and ideological postures. The idea of universalism and the integration of a national identity into the sphere of the Western musical tradition is a dilemma that has caused internal struggle and strife among generations of musicians and artists in general. This paper strives to open a new path in the research of nationalistic music for violin and piano through the analyses of four works written for this type of chamber ensemble: the third movement of the Sonata Op. 7 No.1 for Violin and Piano by Guillermo Uribe Holguín; Lopeziana, piece for Violin and Piano by Adolfo Mejía; Sonata for Violin and Piano No.3 by Luís Antonio Escobar; and Dúo rapsódico con aires de currulao for Violin and Piano by Andrés Posada.

M. Music Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2009 Document Committee: Approved By James Pyne, Co-Advisor ______________________ Co-Advisor Lois Rosow, Co-Advisor ______________________ Paul Robinson Co-Advisor Copyright by Antoine Terrell Clark 2009 Abstract Late Baroque works for string instruments are presented in performing editions for clarinet and piano: Giuseppe Tartini, Sonata in G Minor for Violin, and Violoncello or Harpsichord, op.1, no. 10, “Didone abbandonata”; Georg Philipp Telemann, Sonata in G Minor for Violin and Harpsichord, Twv 41:g1, and Sonata in D Major for Solo Viola da Gamba, Twv 40:1; Marin Marais, Les Folies d’ Espagne from Pièces de viole , Book 2; and Johann Sebastian Bach, Violoncello Suite No.1, BWV 1007. Understanding the capabilities of the string instruments is essential for sensitively translating the music to a clarinet idiom. Transcription issues confronted in creating this edition include matters of performance practice, range, notational inconsistencies in the sources, and instrumental idiom. ii Acknowledgements Special thanks is given to the following people for their assistance with my document: my doctoral committee members, Professors James Pyne, whose excellent clarinet instruction and knowledge enhanced my performance and interpretation of these works; Lois Rosow, whose patience, knowledge, and editorial wonders guided me in the creation of this document; and Paul Robinson and Robert Sorton, for helpful conversations about baroque music; Professor Kia-Hui Tan, for providing insight into baroque violin performance practice; David F.

  • Folia Variations” Written for the Guitar
    Performa ’09 – Conference on Performance Studies University of Aveiro, May 2009 The role of the development of the guitar and the changing performance techniques on the evolution of “folia variations” written for the guitar Bülent Ergüden, Yıldız Technical University This paper focuses on how the compositional processes, the development of the guitar as an instrument, and its performance techniques specifically affected the folia theme and the variations written for this instrument, considering that the folia theme and the variations have constantly evolved over four centuries. In this research, the folia is treated as the framework, the role of improvisation and variation in the evolution of a musical work in general and the historical, cumulative effects on the folia are ontologically viewed within the model ‘living organism’. Musical forms evolve during the course of history. When composers add new elements to their work in a given form, they cumulatively contribute to the evolution of that form. The main elements that help this evolution are melody, rhythm, harmony, style, structure, and the development of instrumental technique. In this article, the influence of the evolution of instruments and performance technique on the composition of folias will be investigated. Although it first appeared during the Renaissance, the golden age of folia was during the Baroque period. In the first volume of his four-volume treatise called The Folia, The Saraband, The Passacaglia and The Chacconne, Richard Hudson investigates the folia and its form (Hudson, R.1982:XV-XXXVIII). He notes that the common aspects of all these four dances are that they were written for the five-course Baroque guitar and feature the variation form.

  • John Griffiths Improvisation and Composition in the Vihuela Songs
    John Griffiths Improvi sati on and Composition in the Vihuela Songs of Luis Milan and Alonso Mudarra The aim of this study is to explore the accompanied solo songs included in two collections of Spanish vihuela music from the first half of the sixteenth century and their possible links with unwritten improvisatory traditions. In contrast to the arrangements of vocal polyphony for voice and vihuela in later books, the songs of Luis Milan and Alonso Mudarra are unique not only in Spanish music, but also in a broader European context. 1 Until very late in the sixteenth century, most Jute songs in European sources are intabulated arrangements of chansons, motets, madrigals, frottole and other polyphonic genres. 2 The questions raised by the songs considered here concern the provenance of the solo lute song and the manner in which it was cultivated by early practitioners.3 Traditional readings of the development of European music see Milan and Mudarra's vihuela songs as something of an anomaly. Older and now generally outrnoded theory, rooted firmly in source studies, held that the known tradition of solo instrumental music was born in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, and that its subsequent development was a process of gradual eman- cipation from the dominant polyphonic tradition that spawned it. On the other hand, the accompanied solo sang has been viewed as one of the great novelties of the late sixteenth century and, as a novelty of its time, is championed as one of the key inventions that separates the musical baroque from the renaissance.

  • The Chaconne and Passacaglia Throughout Violin Literature
    A BSTR A C T Title of Dissertation: REBORN IN THE 20 TH CENTURY: THE CHACONNE AND PASSACAGLIA THROUGHOUT VIOLIN LITERATURE Pyung-Kang Sharon Oh, Doctoral of Musical Arts, 2021 Dissertation directed by: Professor James Stern, Strings Department In the late 16 th century, the chacona was the most energetic and wild type of baile, a popular Spanish dance. It was a lively, suggestive, and festive peasant dance, which, by the early 17 th century, had developed into a distinct variation form involving a repeated bass line or chord progression. This performance dissertation explores the symbolic significance of both the chaconne and the passacaglia in performance as well as in written form. The performance was a recital program which comprised the Bach Partita No. 2 for Solo Violin and the Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 1, each featuring the chaconne and passacaglia respectively in their emotionally climactic movements. I performed the recital with pianist Hsiang-Ling Hsiao, on November 1, 2016, in the Gildenhorn Recital Hall. In this document, I explore how the chaconne in violin repertoire has changed over time by analyzing the repeating units, stylistic changes, and historical backgrounds. The paper is organized into two parts. Part I surveys the Baroque period chaconnes. The earlier, celebratory chaconnes include works by Monteverdi, Bertali, and Corelli. The elegant and courtly chaconnes include works by Schmelzer and Lully; the chaconnes representing fate include works by Biber, Purcell, and Bach. In the Classical and Romantic periods, the chaconne was discontinued, but it becam e revitalized again in the 20 th century. Part II discusses 20 th -century chaconnes and the im petus for its rebirth after a long hiatus.

  • Program Booklet
    A note from La Grande Bande’s Music & Artistic Director and Board of Directors hen the COVID-19 pandemic began, we had no idea exactly how, or how much, La Grande Bande would be affected. Obviously, we were profoundly disappointed that we were forced to postpone the two remaining performances of our 2019 – 2020 WConcert Season. Thankfully, we were able to complete all of our educational programming before all large gatherings were not allowed. Nothing can replace or make-up for not being able to perform for all of you in person. As musicians, we thrive on the direct connections we are able make with each of you before, during, and after each of our performances, masterclasses, outreach concerts, open rehearsals, and every single interaction in between. The new Live From Home series is designed to continue our programming, albeit in a radically different format: with videos recorded in our homes across the country made with the same passion and excitement we present in our concerts. We hope that the performances we’ll be sharing over the next few months will provide you with joy in these historic times. If you enjoy the program notes, the preview videos, or both, we encourage you to become a Sustaining Contributor. As a Sustainer, you will be able to access (1) all of the Live From Home series videos, (2) our Music & Artistic Director’s Sustainer-level Director’s Blog, and (3) other great perks like special invitations to private rehearsals. You can rest easy knowing that your monthly contribution will ensure La Grande Bande will be able to continue into the future.

  • Guitar in Oxford Music Online
    Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Guitar article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/43006 Guitar (Fr. guitare; Ger. Gitarre; It. chitarra; Sp. guitarra; Port.viola; Brazilian Port. violão). A string instrument of the lute family, plucked or strummed, and normally with frets along the fingerboard. It is difficult to define precisely what features distinguish guitars from other members of the lute family, because the name ‘guitar’ has been applied to instruments exhibiting a wide variation in morphology and performing practice. The modern classical guitar has six strings, a wooden resonating chamber with incurved sidewalls and a flat back. Although its earlier history includes periods of neglect as far as art music is concerned, it has always been an instrument of popular appeal, and has become an internationally established concert instrument endowed with an increasing repertory. In the Hornbostel and Sachs classification system the guitar is a ‘composite chordophone’ of the lute type (seeLUTE, §1, andCHORDOPHONE). 1. Structure of the modern guitar. Fig.1 shows the parts of the modern classical guitar. In instruments of the highest quality these have traditionally been made of carefully selected woods: the back and sidewalls of Brazilian rosewood, the neck cedar and the fingerboard ebony; the face or table, acoustically the most important part of the instrument, is of spruce, selected for its resilience, resonance and grain (closeness of grain is considered important, and a good table will have a grain count about 5 or 6 per cm). The table and back are each composed of two symmetrical sections, as is the total circumference of the sidewalls.

  • Investigation of the Use of the Fandango in Ponce's

This study brings to light fandango rhythmic structures applied in selected works, using literary research and data collection techniques. After the literary research, the study limited to investigate the rhythmic structures of fandango used by the Mexican composer Manuel Ponce (1882-1948) in the following works for guitar: Prelude A minor, Theme Varie et Finale, Variations sur “Folia de Espana” et fugue, Prelude E Major, Vespertina, Variations on a Theme of Cabezón and Concerto del Sur for guitar and orchestra. It was noted that the works mentioned were written after the meeting with Spanish classical guitarist Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) whose artistic influence was fundamental for the use of this famous popular dance by the composer. It is concluded that Ponce did not conceive the fandango as a dance, unlike the other composers; he developed a gestural technique of the rhythmic element of the fandango in singular works, thus enriching the classical guitar repertoire.
