An Analysis of Honegger's Cello Concerto
AN ANALYSIS OF HONEGGER’S CELLO CONCERTO (1929): A RETURN TO SIMPLICITY? Denika Lam Kleinmann, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: Eugene Osadchy, Major Professor Clay Couturiaux, Minor Professor David Schwarz, Committee Member Daniel Arthurs, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies James Scott, Dean of the School of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kleinmann, Denika Lam. An Analysis of Honegger’s Cello Concerto (1929): A Return to Simplicity? Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 58 pp., 3 tables, 28 examples, 33 references, 15 titles. Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.

PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher
PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Wolfgang Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 464 Born January 27, 1756, Salzburg, Austria. Died December 5, 1791, Vienna, Austria. Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 464 Mozart entered this concerto in his catalog on February 10, 1785, and performed the solo in the premiere the next day in Vienna. The orchestra consists of one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. At these concerts, Shai Wosner plays Beethoven’s cadenza in the first movement and his own cadenza in the finale. Performance time is approximately thirty-four minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 20 were given at Orchestra Hall on January 14 and 15, 1916, with Ossip Gabrilowitsch as soloist and Frederick Stock conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on March 15, 16, and 17, 2007, with Mitsuko Uchida conducting from the keyboard. The Orchestra first performed this concerto at the Ravinia Festival on July 6, 1961, with John Browning as soloist and Josef Krips conducting, and most recently on July 8, 2007, with Jonathan Biss as soloist and James Conlon conducting. This is the Mozart piano concerto that Beethoven admired above all others. It’s the only one he played in public (and the only one for which he wrote cadenzas). Throughout the nineteenth century, it was the sole concerto by Mozart that was regularly performed—its demonic power and dark beauty spoke to musicians who had been raised on Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt. -
Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 ANTONÍN DVORÁK
I believe Prokofiev is the most imaginative orchestrator of all time. He uses the percussion and the special effects of the strings in new and different ways; always tasteful, never too much of any one thing. His Symphony No. 5 is one of the best illustrations of all of that. JANET HALL, NCS VIOLIN Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 ANTONÍN DVORÁK BORN September 8, 1841, near Prague; died May 1, 1904, in Prague PREMIERE Composed 1894-1895; first performance March 19, 1896, in London, conducted by the composer with Leo Stern as soloist OVERVIEW During the three years that Dvořák was teaching at the National Conservatory of Music in New York City, he was subject to the same emotions as most other travelers away from home for a long time: invigoration and homesickness. America served to stir his creative energies, and during his stay, from 1892 to 1895, he composed some of his greatest scores: the “New World” Symphony, the Op. 96 Quartet (“American”), and the Cello Concerto. He was keenly aware of the new musical experiences to be discovered in the land far from his beloved Bohemia when he wrote, “The musician must prick up his ears for music. When he walks he should listen to every whistling boy, every street singer or organ grinder. I myself am often so fascinated by these people that I can scarcely tear myself away.” But he missed his home and, while he was composing the Cello Concerto, looked eagerly forward to returning. He opened his heart in a letter to a friend in Prague: “Now I am finishing the finale of the Cello Concerto. -

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732–1809) Symphony No
FRI MAY 19 — 11 A.M. FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732–1809) Symphony No. 39 (1765) Symphony no. 39 in G minor was described as Sturm und Drang; a term taken from a literary movement named after a play of the same name by Friedrich Maximilian Klinger. The musical language is intensely expressive and full of extreme contrasts. James Webster describes the works of this period as “longer, more passionate, and more daring” and “proto-Romantic.” LISTEN FOR: 1. Allegro assai After a nervous first four measures, there’s a grand pause before we move on, heightening the tension and adding to the sense of unease. Can you hear why this movement was associated with Sturm und Drang? 2. Andante A.P. Brown describes this movement as an elegant, “ingratiating little waltz” for Recommended Recording: strings. It features a lot of rhythmic variation of the main themes, as well as a lot of strong Haydn: Symphonies Volume 5, contrasts in dynamics—which help tie this to the other Sturm und Drang movements. The Academy of Ancient Music, Christopher Hogwood, conducting 3. Menuet & Trio Another study in contrasts: a minor-keyed minuet contrasts with a bright trio in major, featuring high notes for the first horn. 4. Finale A true Sturm und Drang close to the symphony. It opens with a tremolando string accompaniment—quick, repeated notes that seem to tremble and shimmer. GYÖRGY LIGETI (1923–2006) Piano Concerto (1988) The piece was commissioned for pianist Anthony di Bonaventura, who wrote: “When it arrived, I just couldn’t decipher it.” The composer’s autograph score is incredibly dense, with thousands of notes and accidentals crammed into the tiniest spaces. -
Passacaglia and Lament in Ligeti's Recent Music
tijdschrift 2004 #9/1/2 22-01-2004 09:16 Pagina 1 stephen taylor Passacaglia and lament in Ligeti’s recent music1 György Ligeti’s music since his opera Le Grand Macabre (1974-77, revised 1996) could be described as a collage of different compositional techniques. Two of the most prominent are passacaglia, and a melodic figure Ligeti calls the ‘lament motive’, based on the descending chromatic scale. Passacaglia and chromatic scales have appeared in Ligeti’s music since his student days, but they have become especially prominent in his recent music. This essay examines the development of these two techniques, focusing on their combination in the Horn Trio and Violin Concerto. These works not only show us how Ligeti uses the same ideas in different contexts; they also provide an overview of his recent compositional technique. Of the various compositional devices that appear in Ligeti’s music since his opera Le Grand Macabre (1974-77), two of the most prominent are the passacaglia and a melodic figure Ligeti calls the ‘lament motive’, based on the descending chromatic scale. Table 1 shows a list of works from the opera to the late 1990s in which these techniques appear. This essay examines the two slow movements that combine them: the fourth movement of the Horn Trio, ‘Lamento’, from 1982, and the fourth move- ment of the Violin Concerto, ‘Passacaglia: Lento intenso’, written a decade later. While both movements have much in common, their differences also highlight how Ligeti’s music has developed since he embarked on his new style in the early 1980s. -
Bassoon Pedagogy: a Panel Discussion at the 2003 IDRS Conference
Bassoon Pedagogy: A Panel Discussion at the 2003 IDRS Conference By: Michael Burns Burns, Michael. “Bassoon Pedagogy: Report on the Pedagogy Round Table.” The Double Reed, vol. 27-2, 2004. Made available courtesy of International Double Reed Society: http://www.idrs.org/publications/ ***Note: This version of the document is not the copy of record. ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document The IDRS 2003 Conference in Greensboro North Carolina had a theme of "pedagogy revisited" and one of the events consisted of a Bassoon Pedagogy Round Table in which several distinguished international panellists were asked to discuss aspects of bassoon pedagogy in front of an audience. Prior to the conference. each panellist was sent a list of questions to answer by the moderator and co-host of IDRS 2003. Michael Burns, The following are the answers to those questions sent in advance and dispersed at the round-table as a handout. Burns then asked each of the panelists to illuminate their answers more in person which led to some wonderful additional inter- :haw amongst these bassoonists as well as question and answer sessions with the audience. I would like to once again thank my colleagues for their expertise and willingness to share their ideas. The panel consisted of: Meyrick Alexander, principal Philharmonia Orchestra, bassoon professor. Guildhall School of Music and Drama. London Judith Farmer, principal Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra. bassoon professor. University of Southern California. Kiyoshi Koyama. principal Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra Kim Walker, bassoon professor. Indiana University. International soloist Liu Zhaolu, principal Shanghai Symphony, bassoon professor, Shanghai Conservatory of Music MYRICK ALEXANDER'S ANSWERS How do you leach technique on the bassoon? I provide students with a quick and simple daity routine of scales and exercises which produces a retiable.
