A Pedagogical Analysis and Performance of Selected Compositions for Piano by Vincent Persichetti
A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED COMPOSITIONS FOR PIANO BY VINCENT PERSICHETTI By Copyright 2016 Chi Kit Lam Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jack Winerock ________________________________ Dr. Scott McBride Smith ________________________________ Dr. Michael Kirkendoll ________________________________ Prof. Scott Murphy ________________________________ Dr. Alfred Tat-Kei Ho Date defended: May 11, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Chi Kit Lam certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED COMPOSITIONS FOR PIANO BY VINCENT PERSICHETTI ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jack Winerock Date approved: May 11, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Vincent Persichetti composed in a wide range of contemporary musical idioms. He incorporated twentieth-century harmonies into traditional forms and into classical piano writing. This paper seeks to emphasize the advantages of his music for piano pedagogy. Chapter Two concentrates on the composer’s life, compositional style, contribution and rewards, and it includes a short list of piano compositions. Chapter Three examines and analyzes four selected pieces by Persichetti: Little Piano Book, Piano Sonata No. 9, Poems for Piano No. 2 “Soft is the Collied Night,” and Four Arabesques, Op. 141, No. 1 Affabile. The Poem, the Arabesque, and the miniatures in Little Piano Book are smaller pieces, intended for amateur and intermediate pianists. The Ninth Sonata is a more substantial composition for advanced pianists. These pieces provide a broad image of Persichetti’s piano compositions. This study of selected works by Persichetti shows that his music is excellent pedagogical material for piano students as well as outstanding music to be performed in the concert hall. -

Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music From
2015/16 Season: Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music from the Generation He Inspired 31ST SEASON 17 & 18 October, 2015 Curtis Institute of Music Philadelphia, PA Introduction: Vincent Persichetti @ 100 Vincent Persichetti was one of the most widely respected musicians of his generation. A prolific composer, brilliant educator and lecturer, and prodigious pianist, he composed more than 150 works in virtu- ally all genres and for virtually all performing media, while serving for 40 years on the faculty of the Juilliard School, many of them as chairman of the composition department. During his lifetime Persichetti influenced the musical lives of thou- sands of people from all walks of life, and his name came to signify a comprehensive musicianship virtually unparalleled among American composers. Countless young pianists were nurtured on his sonatinas and the Little Piano Book, while many other young instrumental students first experienced serious contemporary music through his works for band; church choirs turned to his Hymns and Respons- es for the Church Year as an inexhaustible resource, while many young composers have found his classic textbook Twentieth Century Harmony to be an indispensable tool; among professional soloists and conductors his sonatas, concertos, and symphonies stood among the masterworks of American music. Throughout his life Persichetti encouraged healthy, creative participation in music at all levels of proficiency, while shunning dogmas that advocated one composition- al approach at the expense of others. He was beloved and admired as a teacher, and was in great demand as a lecturer, using his comprehensive knowledge of the repertoire, extraordinary gift for improvisation, awe-inspiring piano technique, and mischievous wit to captivate audiences. -

All-State Band
ALL-STATE BAND For the first fifty-five years of its existence the South Dakota All-State Band consisted of one large ensemble. In 2006, for the first time, the All-State Band was divided into two separate, but equal, smaller ensembles. Each of the smaller All-State ensembles is named after two of South Dakota’s most famous historic personalities “Lewis” and “Clark”. Each had its own separate concert and had its own conductor. In 2013, the two bands began to share one grand All-State Band concert. The 69th All-State Band was held at the NSU Johnson Fine Arts Center in Aberdeen, SD, March 23, 2019. There were 761 students registered to audition at the six centers throughout the state. From this group, 182 students from 40 high schools were selected for membership in the two 2019 All-State Band ensembles. The Lewis Band was conducted by Dr. Courtney Snyder from the University of Michigan, and the Clark Band was directed by Dr. Paul Popiel from the University of Kansas. The number of students participating from these schools was as follows: SF Lincoln 47 SF Washington 6 Groton Area 3 SF Roosevelt 16 Aberdeen Central 6 Watertown 3 RC Stevens 14 Tea Area 6 Elk Point-Jefferson 2 Brandon Valley 10 SF Christian 5 Huron 2 SF O’Gorman 10 Chamberlain 4 Milbank 2 Brookings 9 Freeman Academy 4 Freeman 2 RC Central 7 Lennox 3 West Central 2 Yankton 2 The following schools were represented by one student: Centerville Irene-Wakonda RC Christian Chester Area Lyman Sioux Valley Colman-Egan Mitchell Spearfish Custer Mitchell Christian St. -
Rolling Thunder (1982)
Henry Fillmore (1895-1982) Rolling Thunder (1982) We open this afternoon’s program with the raucous Rolling Thunder circus march. It features our superb trombone section. Not coincidently, the trombone was Fillmore’s primary instrument. James Henry Fillmore Jr. was born in Cincinnati, OH. His father was a composer of gospel music and was a highly religious presence in the Fillmore household. In fact, when his mother gave him a used trombone, young Henry and his mother kept it a secret from his father who believed the trombone was an uncouth and sinful instrument. Fillmore graduated from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, after which he traveled around the United States as a bandmaster with his wife, exotic dancer Mabel May Jones. In 1938, Fillmore moved to the Miami Florida area where he spent the rest of this life conducting area bands and composing marches and novelty pieces involving the trombone. He also wrote several works for the University of Florida, Florida State University and the University of Miami, including Miami’s current fight song Miami U How-Dee-Doo. Frank Ticheli (b. 1958) Postcard (1991) Frank Ticheli is Professor of Composition at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music. He has written for orchestra, chamber ensemble, and choir, but he is perhaps best known for his more than twenty pieces for concert band. Recently, the Metropolitan Wind Symphony has performed his jazz inspired Blue Shades, the energetic Vesuvius and his beautifully melancholy Rest. The Metropolitan Wind Symphony has commissioned Mr. Ticheli for a new composition for wind band as part of a three-ensemble consortium. -
