  • 1 the Roots of Birtwistle's Theatrical Expression
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89534-7 - Harrison Birtwistle’s Operas and Music Theatre David Beard Excerpt More information 1 The roots of Birtwistle’s theatrical expression: from Pantomime to Down by the Greenwood Side With six major operas, around eight music dramas, and a body of incidental music to his name, Harrison Birtwistle has made a significant contribution to contemporary opera and music theatre during a period that spans more than forty years. This study is concerned not only to reflect the importance of these stage works by examining them in some detail but also to convey their varied musical and intellectual worlds. Previous studies have rightly focused on Birtwistle’s perennial concerns, such as myth, ritual, cyclical journeys, varied repetition, verse–refrain structures, instrumental role-play, layers and lines.1 These characteristics highlight consistency throughout Birtwistle’s oeuvre and are a mark of his formalist stance. By contrast, this book is motivated by a belief that the stage works – in which instrumental and physical drama, song and narrative are combined – demand interpre- tation from multiple, inter-disciplinary perspectives. While not denying obvious or important relations between works, what follows is rather more focused on differences: Birtwistle’s choice of contrasting narrative subjects, his collaborations with nine librettists, his varied pre-compositional ideas and working methods, his experience with different directors, producers and others, all distinguish one stage work from another. A recurring theme is therefore a consideration of ways in which Birtwistle’s initial concepts are informed, altered or conveyed differently in each case. Moreover, as ideas evolve, from the composer’s musical sketches to the final production, mul- tiple meanings accrue that are particular to each drama.

  • A Survey of Four Original Works for Clarinet and Guitar and Their Effect
    A SURVEY OF FOUR ORIGINAL WORKS FOR CLARINET AND GUITAR AND THEIR EFFECT ON COMPOSITIONAL OUTPUT FOR THE REPERTOIRE Kellie Lignitz, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Margaret Notley, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies John Murphy, Interim Director of Graduate Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Lignitz, Kellie, A Survey of Four Original Works for Clarinet and Guitar and Their Effect on Compositional Output for the Repertoire. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2013, 69 pp., 26 musical examples, references, 48 titles. In the last three decades there has been a surge in original compositions for clarinet and guitar resulting in the repertoire virtually doubling in size. However, documentation and research of original works in published sources remains limited and is quickly becoming outdated. This document reviews the current resources and reviews the newer published materials. Early chamber music works for guitar and clarinet typically required the guitar to supply harmonic support to the clarinet’s upper voice, which carried the themes. An examination of the earliest works, which date from the early nineteenth century, suggests, in other words, that the two parts were not treated equally, in contrast to modern-day chamber music, in which melodic elements are proportionally balanced between the two instruments. A critical survey and comparison of four significant works from the repertoire reveals a development toward motivic balance, a progression towards melodic equality that continued in subsequent compositions.

  • A Pathbreaking and Splendid 'The Passenger' from Ubc Opera
    VANCOUVER HOME CALENDAR REVIEWS CLASSICAL MUSIC INTERVIEWS & ARTICLES ABOUT US A PATHBREAKING AND SPLENDID ‘THE PASSENGER’ FROM UBC OPERA Mieczysław Weinberg, THE PASSENGER: David Gibbons (Walter), Leila Kirves (Lisa), Catherine Thornsley (Marta), Luka Kawabata (Tadeusz), UBC Opera Ensemble, members of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra, David Agler (conductor), Nancy Hermiston (director), Alessia Carpoca (set design), Chan Centre, January 30, 2020. There are few neglected modern composers whose star has risen more in recent years than Polish/Russian composer Mieczysław Weinberg (1919-1996), a friend of Dmitri Shostakovich. Yet many opera companies would probably wish to stick to safer productions than to delve into the little-known world of the composer’s operatic ventures. Hat’s off therefore to the courage and vision of Nancy Hermiston and her fine UBC opera troupe in staging the composer’s powerful and original The Passenger (1967/68). The setting examined is both brutally painful and poignant: the concentration camps of World War II, where the ‘passenger’ embodies the haunting memories that everyone carries with them into the future, whether they be survivor or captor. Weinberg’s masterpiece has begun slowly making the rounds of international operatic stages and should take its rightful place alongside Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk and Prokofiev’s War and Peace as one of the great Soviet operas of the twentieth century. The commitment and intelligence of the present UBC student production served the composer admirably: the work emerges as positively shattering in its emotional force. Alexander Medvedev’s libretto is adapted from the radio play Passenger from Cabin 45 by Auschwitz survivor Zofia Posmysz, based on her own experiences during the Holocaust.

  • 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.

Duration: 10 minutes. ‘Kraftmaschine’ was commissioned by the Orff Zentrum and the ADevantgarde Festival in Munich and it was inspired by Carl Orff's approach into building musical structures out of basic rhythmical and melodic patterns. It uses a wide variety of Renaissance, Baroque and modern day recorders, bringing out their subtle differences of timbre. Due to its versatility and directness, this interesting instrumental ensemble (four recorder players & three percussion players) also encouraged me to incorporate elements from Peruvian folk music in four brief episodes that are playfully interrupted by an intrusive ratchet. In the final section, I make use of the aulos technique in which each of the four players is asked to play two recorders simultaneously in an obsessively repetitive –but nevertheless constantly shifting- group of five notes.

Lewis, Dean, Faculty of Arts and Science ABSTRACT From the City to the Mountain and Back Again: Situating Contemporary Shugendô in Japanese Social and Religious Life Mark Patrick McGuire, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2013 This thesis examines mountain ascetic training practices in Japan known as Shugendô (The Way to Acquire Power) from the 1980s to the present. Focus is given to the dynamic interplay between two complementary movements: 1) the creative process whereby charismatic, media-savvy priests in the Kii Peninsula (south of Kyoto) have re-invented traditional practices and training spaces to attract and satisfy the needs of diverse urban lay practitioners, and 2) the myriad ways diverse urban ascetic householders integrate lessons learned from mountain austerities in their daily lives in Tokyo and Osaka.
