Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: an Overview and Performance Guide
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide A PROJECT DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Saxophone Performance By Thomas Michael Snydacker EVANSTON, ILLINOIS JUNE 2019 2 ABSTRACT Spectralism in the Saxophone Repertoire: An Overview and Performance Guide Thomas Snydacker The saxophone has long been an instrument at the forefront of new music. Since its invention, supporters of the saxophone have tirelessly pushed to create a repertoire, which has resulted today in an impressive body of work for the yet relatively new instrument. The saxophone has found itself on the cutting edge of new concert music for practically its entire existence, with composers attracted both to its vast array of tonal colors and technical capabilities, as well as the surplus of performers eager to adopt new repertoire. Since the 1970s, one of the most eminent and consequential styles of contemporary music composition has been spectralism. The saxophone, predictably, has benefited tremendously, with repertoire from Gérard Grisey and other founders of the spectral movement, as well as their students and successors. Spectral music has continued to evolve and to influence many compositions into the early stages of the twenty-first century, and the saxophone, ever riding the crest of the wave of new music, has continued to expand its body of repertoire thanks in part to the influence of the spectralists. The current study is a guide for modern saxophonists and pedagogues interested in acquainting themselves with the saxophone music of the spectralists. -

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM ASSESSMENT OF URBAN AIR QUALITY SITED NATIONS WORLD HEALTH 'VIRONMENT PROGRAMMF Eel., io, ORGANIZATION Copyright © UNEP and WHO 1988 Prepared in cooperation with the Monitoring and Assessment Research Centre, London 77 GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM SSESSMENT OF URBAN AIR QUALITY U'ilTED NATIONS WORLD HEALTH ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME ORGANIZATION Preface Ever since the mid-1970, the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has, through the Global Environment Monitoring System (GEMS), been operating worldwide networks for monitoring air and water quality and with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for food contamination, and collecting information on environmental conditions and human exposures in different parts of the world. In 1988 this information, supplemented with other data, was compiled and analysed and for each topic an assessment was made on the global and regional levels and trends. These assessments were considered and endorsed by a government-designated Expert Meeting which was held in Geneva from 12-16 September 1988. 7imendments proposed at the Expert Meeting were incorporated into the assessment reports. The UNEP/WHO Meeting was attended by delegates from 12 countries (Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Ghana, Hungary, India, Japan, The Netherlands, Sudan, U.S.A.), two international organizations (the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAQ) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)) and the Monitoring and Assessment Research Centre (MARC). The government-designated Expert Meeting was chaired by Dr. Abmed Amin El-Carnal, Advisor, Egyptian EnvIronment Agency, with Dr. Vic Armstrong, Head, criteria Section, Environment Health Directorate, Health and Welfare, Canada, serving as Rapporteur. -

The Composer's Guide to the Tuba
THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love. -

CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement Revision History Editor's Note Mission-specific sections of the Space Reporter's Handbook are posted as flight data becomes available.

The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-134 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. -
The Missing Saxophone Recovered(Updated)
THE MISSING SAXOPHONE: Why the Saxophone Is Not a Permanent Member of the Orchestra by Mathew C.

Gage, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Randall Goldberg, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ James C. Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C.
