  • Ferruccio Busoni Biography
    Ferruccio Busoni His Life And Times Beginnings Youth in Italy The Prodigy is Heard Busoni as Composer Free at Last First Experiences Marriage Busoni as Editor Hitting his Stride Busoni as Conductor Masterpiece Unveiled America again Turandot /Die Brautwahl The Author Debuts Back on the Road Paris, D’Annunzio Opera’s Seduction Liceo Rossini War in Europe The Artist at 50 The Last Years Final Enthusiasms Last Days FERRUCCIO BUSONI - HIS LIFE AND TIMES The Busoni heritage begins in Spicchio, a little village on the north bank of the Arno, inhabited mainly by barge-men, one of whom bore the name. The family is thought originally to have come from Corsica. Though reasonably well-off in their day, the Busonis fell on hard times, and upon the father’s death, moved to Empoli. Additional misfortune followed when the second son of three, Giovanni Battista also died later of a long illness in 1860, his wife following shortly thereafter. From this group of three sons, it would be the eldest, Ferdinando who would produce the artist the world learned to know and cherish. In Empoli his siblings became prosperous makers of felt hats, but Ferdinando would have none of that. He hid himself in corners to read the classics and practice the clarinet. Nothing would alter his intention to be a musician of prominence; he was capricious, self-willed, hot-tempered and impatient. These qualities would, lifelong, result in a reputation as difficult, highly-strung, opinionated, quarrelsome and to some a jeffatore...the possessor of the “evil eye.” He was largely self-taught, attained a high degree of proficiency on his instrument, adopted a career as a travelling virtuoso.

  • L'age D'or of the Chamber Wind Ensemble
    L’Age d’or of the Chamber Wind Ensemble A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Ensembles and Conducting Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Danielle D. Gaudry BM, McGill University, 2000 BE, University of Toronto, 2001 MM, The Pennsylvania State University, 2009 Committee Chair: Terence Milligan, DMA ABSTRACT This document presents a narrative history of the chamber wind ensembles led by Paul Taffanel, Georges Barrère and Georges Longy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using different historical approaches, this study examines contemporaneous musical society and the chamber wind ensemble genre to explore the context and setting for the genesis of the Société de musique de chambre pour instruments à vents, the Société moderne des instruments à vents, the Longy Club and the Barrère Ensemble of Wind Instruments. A summary of each ensemble leader’s life and description of the activities of the ensemble, selected repertoire and press reactions towards their performances provide essential insights on each ensemble. In demonstrating their shared origins, ideologies, and similarities in programming philosophies, this document reveals why these chamber wind ensembles created a musical movement, a golden age or age d’or of wind chamber music, affecting the local music scene and continuing to hold influence on today’s performers of wind music. ""!! ! Copyright 2013, Danielle D. Gaudry """! ! ! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all those who have been a part of my journey, both in the completion of this document and over the course of this degree.

  • VS Dissertation Viola
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: VOCAL LYRICISM IN THE VOICE OF THE VIOLA Valentina Alaaeldin Shohdy, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Katherine Murdock, Associate Professor of Viola, School of Music This dissertation performance project explores how the interpretation of instrumental music can be influenced and informed by the vocal repertoire of various composers throughout music history. The first recital draws comparisons in compositional style by pairing an instrumental work with a piece of vocal chamber music by the same composer. The first pairing includes two pieces by Johannes Brahms; Zwei Gesänge for Alto Voice, Viola, and Piano, Op. 91 and Sonata in E flat Major for Viola and Piano, Op. 120, No. 2, while the second pairing features two pieces by Frank Bridge; Three Songs for Medium Voice, Viola, and Piano and Allegro appassionato and Pensiero for Viola and Piano. The second recital considers how text can inform phrasing and other aspects of interpretation with transcriptions for the viola that were originally written for voice. The first half of the recital features two songs by John Dowland, Flow My Tears and If My Complaints Could Passions Move, which influenced Benjamin Britten to write his Lachrymae, reflections on a song of Dowland for Viola and Piano, Op. 48. The second half of the recital introduces the music of Franz Schubert, first with his Sonata in A minor, “Arpeggione”, for Viola and Piano, D. 821, followed by four songs, Wanderers Nachtlied, D. 768, Die Forelle, D. 550, Der Tod und das Mädchen, D. 531, and Ständchen, D. 957, which later influenced him to write several of his instrumental works.
