This was no idle boast: for over a century virtually every professional flute player in Britain used one of their instruments. 26 Wilhelm Friedemann Bach’s Six Flute Duets: A Tercentennial Appreciation by Leonard Garrison In his brief overview of the life and times of this eldest son of J.S. Bach, born 300 years ago this year, the author offers background, musical analyses, and suggestions for performance. 34 Claude Bolling: A Living Legend Turns 80 by Pamela Sklar Duke Ellington’s “spiritual son” talks about his pleasure with the success of his collaboration 26 with Jean-Pierre Rampal, his musical influences, and his love of trains. 58 Optimistic Realist: 36 Years and Counting with the Indefatigable Gwen Powell by Patti Adams Gwen Powell has given her energy to the NFA since its second convention, only one of many reasons she has been honored with this year’s National Service Award. Anaheim, the home of the first and this year’s convention, plays a serendipitous role in Powell’s contributions as well.

Persönlichkeiten wie Hans von Bülow, Johannes Brahms, Richard Strauss, Fritz Steinbach und Max Reger verankerten es in der europäischen Musikgeschichte und verhalfen ihm zu einem exzellenten Ruf unter Musikern, Musikinteressierten und Gelehrten. Doch die Musikgeschichte dieser Region lässt sich nicht allein auf das Werk einzelner Lichtgestalten reduzieren. Zu bedeutsam und nachhaltig sind die komplexen Verflechtungen, welche die als überlieferungswürdig angesehenen Höchstleistungen erst ermöglichten. Trotz der Bedeutung des Herzogtums für die europäische Musikgeschichte und einer erstaunlichen Quellendichte standen bislang immer nur bestimmte Aspekte im Blickpunkt der Forschung.

    French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture

    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.

A. School of Music Second Reader: __________________________________ Cynthia GonzaLes, Ph.D. School of Music Approved: ____________________________________ Heather C. GaLLoway, Ph.D. Dean, Honors ColLege 2 Abstract This thesis contains a performance guide for Sergey Prokofiev’s Sonata for Flute and Piano in D Major, Op. 94 (1943). Prokofiev is among the most important Russian composers of the twentieth century. Recognized as a leading Neoclassicist, his bold innovations in harmony and his new palette of tone colors enliven the classical structures he embraced. This is especially evident in this flute sonata, which provides a microcosm of Prokofiev’s compositional style and highlights the beauty and virtuosic breadth of the flute in new ways. In Part 1 I have constructed an historical context for the sonata, with biographical information about Prokofiev, which includes anecdotes about his personality and behavior, and a discussion of the sonata’s commission and subsequent premiere. In Part 2 I offer an anaLysis of the piece with generaL performance suggestions and specific performance practice options for flutists that will assist them as they work toward an effective performance, one that is based on both the historically informed performance context, as well as remarks that focus on particular techniques, challenges and possible performance solutions.

    Note Sulla Rappresentazione Musicale E Audiovisiva Di Marsiglia

    04,2 I 2019 Archiv für Textmusikforschung Tra crimine e nostalgia: note sulla rappresentazione musicale e audiovisiva di Marsiglia Dario MARTINELLI (Kaunas)1 Summary Browsing through films and TV series located in Marseille, we notice how this city is often provided with recurrent topoi : the charming and nostalgic frontier/harbour city where an (often multi-ethnic) commu- nity of gangsters, sailors, adventurers and prostitutes comes and goes and engages in usually illegal activi- ties. Based on a sample of ca. 120 audiovisual texts, this article aims at emphasizing the consistency of significations conveyed by both visual and musical representations of the city of Marseille. As a case-study, the focus shall be the filmBorsalino , possibly the perfect synthesis of the above-mentioned topoi both on a visual-narrative and a musical level. Introduzione Geografia, storia, economia, performance, stile e retorica sono le sei principali contestualiz- zazioni del concetto di ‘autenticità’ che ho avuto modo di proporre in saggi come Martinelli 2010, 11-50 e 2016, 89-128. L’autenticazione di una data entità, ovvero, quel particolare processo che (a ragione o meno) ne assegna uno stato di autenticità combinando e sistema- tizzando caratteristiche e valori in maniera relativamente coerente (in altre parole: ideologiz- zando quell’entità), diventa particolarmente interessante quando quella entità è una città. Primo perché si tratta di un processo che coinvolge tutte e sei le contestualizzazioni, non solo quella geografica (che tuttavia, e ovviamente, rimane in primo piano), creando una ricca rete di relazioni tra i vari fattori coinvolti; secondo, perché i risultati di questo processo tendo- no a formare un gruppo di topoi culturali e mitici che spesso costituiscono la vera essenza dell’immagine pubblica e del soft power di quella città.

    New York Flute Club Newsletter Interview 2012

    March 2012 Amy Porter and “The Anatomy of Sound” Interview by Wendy Stern hen I was a master’s student at Juilliard in the early ’80s I received a phone call from my former teacher, Deborah WCarter, who raved about a star student and asked if this student, Amy Porter, could please stay with me for her Juilliard audition. Upon meeting Amy and hearing her play (she practiced just about nonstop for the three days she was in my apartment), I knew she was a major talent. I have followed her career with interest and awe as she won both national and international competitions, became principal flute at the Atlanta Symphony, established herself as an international recitalist and concerto soloist, and, most recently, earned awards for teaching and scholarship as a professor of flute at the University of Michigan. Amy and I conversed via email during the first weeks of February 2012. WENDY STERN: The week of March 24, 2012 is certainly a busy one for you...not only are you the guest artist at the NY Flute Fair, you will also be the soloist in the NY premiere of Michael Daugherty’s Trail of Tears with the American Composers Orchestra at Zankel Hall. How did this concerto [whose title refers to a particularly brutal forced relocation of Native Americans in the late 1830s] come to be written for you? AMY PORTER: Michael Daugherty [a faculty colleague at the University of Michigan’s School of Music] had mentioned to me for many years that he would like to write a flute concerto for me.

Bohuslav grew up in a family without material wealth. He began violin at a young age and excelled quickly. The town was impressed by his talent when attending his recitals, and raised the funds to send him to the Prague Conservatory in 1906. Martinu was expelled from the Prague conservatory in 1910 due to "incorrigible negligence." Martinu became more interested in the composition aspect of music than his individual performance, and as such did not practice his violin enough. First Sonata for Flute and Piano was composed in 1945 in South Orleans, Cape Cod. During this time, Marinu was living in the United States to escape France when it was occupied by the Nazis in WW2. Though he didn't speak english very well, Martinu quickly adapted to his environment and ended up teaching both at Princeton and the Tanglewood institution in Berkshire. First Sonata was written for Georges Laurent, the principle flutist of the Boston Symphony. It premiered in New York 1949. Remnants ofMartinu's past can be heard throughout the sonata, such as the perfect fourths in the first movement that represent the church bells his father rang.

    An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru

    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. 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 Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

    Dear Flutists, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing. As I write this, only 97 days, 18 hours, 7 minutes and 46 seconds until the start of the 31st Annual Texas Flute Festival which begins with the semi-final round of the Myrna W. Brown Artist Competition, Thursday, May 15 at 2:00 PM Recital Hall of the College of Music – University of North Texas. Once again, you will be able to register online March 1 – April 1, 2008. What a stellar list of guest artists we have this year. Renee Siebert, distinguished member of the New York Philharmonic for over 25 years, is well known throughout the world, not only as an orchestra member, but also as a soloist, chamber musician, and teacher. Renee is a highly sought after interpreter and coach of orchestral repertoire and collaborated with Jean Baxtresser, former principal of New York Philharmonic, on the widely acclaimed, “Great Flute Duos from the Orchestral Repertoire.” She will present a masterclass Friday evening and perform throughout the day on Saturday. Although many of us had not heard of Greg Pattillo until recently, he is hugely popular with the junior high and high school students, largely because of his video clips on YouTube. He will present a workshop on how to beatbox, a masterclass on extended techniques, and will perform in recitals with PROJECT bass player, Peter Seymour, a Dallas native, and Erich Stephenson, cellist. Bringing a new sound to flute playing, Greg’s beat- boxing style is a mixture of genres stemming from his classical training at the Cleveland Institute of Music where he studied with Joshua Smith.
