  • An Approach to the Pedagogy of Beginning Music Composition: Teaching Understanding and Realization of the First Steps in Composing Music
    AN APPROACH TO THE PEDAGOGY OF BEGINNING MUSIC COMPOSITION: TEACHING UNDERSTANDING AND REALIZATION OF THE FIRST STEPS IN COMPOSING MUSIC 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 Vera D. Stanojevic, Graduate Diploma, Tchaikovsky Conservatory ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved By Professor Donald Harris, Adviser __________________________ Professor Patricia Flowers Adviser Professor Edward Adelson School of Music Copyright by Vera D. Stanojevic 2004 ABSTRACT Conducting a first course in music composition in a classroom setting is one of the most difficult tasks a composer/teacher faces. Such a course is much more effective when the basic elements of compositional technique are shown, as much as possible, to be universally applicable, regardless of style. When students begin to see these topics in a broader perspective and understand the roots, dynamic behaviors, and the general nature of the different elements and functions in music, they begin to treat them as open models for individual interpretation, and become much more free in dealing with them expressively. This document is not designed as a textbook, but rather as a resource for the teacher of a beginning college undergraduate course in composition. The Introduction offers some perspectives on teaching composition in the contemporary musical setting influenced by fast access to information, popular culture, and globalization. In terms of breadth, the text reflects the author’s general methodology in leading students from basic exercises in which they learn to think compositionally, to the writing of a first composition for solo instrument.

  • Music Appreciation April 23, 2020
    Music Virtual Learning Music Appreciation April 23, 2020 Music Appreciation Lesson: April 23, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: Students will learn about the romantic era composers and their contributions to classical music. Bell Work Painting by Casper David Friedrich, Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. Take a look at this painting & think about what you have learned about the romantic era: Write about two emotions you see expressed in this famous painting? In what ways has the artist expressed those emotions? ● Romanticism encouraged artists to seek individual paths of expressing emotions. ● Romantics valued nature, the supernatural, myths, realm beyond the everyday, and national pride. ● Political and economic events impacted the way composers wrote music and artists expressed their emotions. Lesson Franz Lizst Franz Liszt ● Born: 1811 ● Hungarian composer ● Virtuoso at playing and composing ● Credited with the creation of the symphonic poem- an extended single movement work for orchestra inspired by paintings, plays, poems or other literary or visual works expressed through music. ● Famous works: Rhapsody no. 2 & La Campanella Feliz Mendelossohn Felix Mendelossohn ● Born in Germany: 1809 ● Child prodigy ● Composed the incidental music for Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” ● Was also inspired to compose through his travels. ● Notable pieces: Scherzo from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the Fingal’s Cave Overture, also known as the Hebrides, in reference to the rocky coast and ancient caverns of Scotland. Robert Schumann Robert Schumann ● Born: 1810 ● Focused on one genre of composing at a time. Piano was his first and most prolific. ● Married Clara Wieck, daughter of his first music teacher ● Promoted the music of Chopin, Berlioz and Brahms-all were close friends.

  • Benjamin Britten: Art Song, a Synthesis of Words and Music — Issues and Approaches to Text-Setting
    Benjamin Britten: art song, a synthesis of words and music — issues and approaches to text-setting Paul Higgins The clarity of verbal expression evident throughout Benjamin Britten’s (1913-1976) art songs serves to highlight the central role which the setting of pre-existing written poetic texts occupies in his compositional process and in the aesthetic appreciation of his interpretation. For Britten, text acts initially as a source of musical imagination, but it also provides the composer with a framework with which to express musically his selected, literary-based ideas. To place Britten’s contribution against the backdrop of an important musicological debate, it is necessary to clarify a number of key issues. Firstly, text-setting is often loosely perceived as the composition of music of a pre-existing written text, yet in Britten this approach has been expanded to incorporate the process whereby music and text are simultaneously generated. A good example of this is Britten’s close collaboration with W.H. Auden in the song cycle Our Hunting Fathers op.8 (1936),1 in which Auden not only wrote two poems but also selected and modernised three other poems, specifically for Britten to set to music. Secondly, that text-setting is a broader concern than the activity of mere text underlay and is significant to all text-based vocal music: its study also involves syntactic and semantic considerations. Syntactic concerns make reference to the musical response of the work to the structure of the source text, at both the level of overall form, and sentence and word patterns.

  • Setting Text in English to Music by Matthew C
    Setting Text in English to Music by Matthew C. Saunders All Rights Reserved © 2008 Permission to Duplicate Granted for Personal and Educational Uses www.martiandances.com Setting an English text to music is a crucial skill for many composers, arrangers and songwriters. A few basic considerations exist that will help you to communicate your chosen text more clearly. Many of these considerations will also prove helpful in languages other than English. I. Patterns of Stress and Meter A. Pronunciation of any multisyllabic English word includes both stressed and unstressed syllables. Unlike other languages, for example, Spanish, there are no hard and fast rules about the placement of stress in spoken English, but each word has a “correct” pattern of stress. Consider: a-poth -e-car-y ho-mo-gen -e-ous ho-mo -ge-nize While in some languages, such as German, the lexical root is nearly always a stressed syllable, this is clearly not the case in English as shown above. The musical implication of this fact is that setting an English text requires a very clear understanding of both the stress patterns of the text and the metrical patterns of the music. These should generally occur in such a way as to reinforce each other. Stressed syllables should be musically accented in some way, if not in multiple ways. When developing the melody for your text, consider the following types of accent: 1. Metric accent—the most common and most clearly understood in tonal music. By placing a word or syllable on the strong beat of a measure in relation to other words, we highlight its importance.

  • Renaissance Terms
    Renaissance Terms Cantus firmus: ("Fixed song") The process of using a pre-existing tune as the structural basis for a new polyphonic composition. Choralis Constantinus: A collection of over 350 polyphonic motets (using Gregorian chant as the cantus firmus) written by the German composer Heinrich Isaac and his pupil Ludwig Senfl. Contenance angloise: ("The English sound") A term for the style or quality of music that writers on the continent associated with the works of John Dunstable (mostly triadic harmony, which sounded quite different than late Medieval music). Counterpoint: Combining two or more independent melodies to make an intricate polyphonic texture. Fauxbourdon: A musical texture prevalent in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, produced by three voices in mostly parallel motion first-inversion triads. Only two of the three voices were notated (the chant/cantus firmus, and a voice a sixth below); the third voice was "realized" by a singer a 4th below the chant. Glogauer Liederbuch: This German part-book from the 1470s is a collection of 3-part instrumental arrangements of popular French songs (chanson). Homophonic: A polyphonic musical texture in which all the voices move together in note-for-note chordal fashion, and when there is a text it is rendered at the same time in all voices. Imitation: A polyphonic musical texture in which a melodic idea is freely or strictly echoed by successive voices. A section of freer echoing in this manner if often referred to as a "point of imitation"; Strict imitation is called "canon." Musica Reservata: This term applies to High/Late Renaissance composers who "suited the music to the meaning of the words, expressing the power of each affection." Musica Transalpina: ("Music across the Alps") A printed anthology of Italian popular music translated into English and published in England in 1588.
