  • The Choral Music of Robert De Cormier
    The Choral Music of Robert De Cormier A document submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research 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 April 2, 2013 by Michael A. Ciavaglia B. A., Fairfield University, 2004 M. M., Temple University, 2006 Committee Chair: L. Brett Scott, D. M. A. ABSTRACT This document comprises a study of the life and a cataloguing of the choral works of Robert De Cormier (b. 1922), American composer, arranger, and conductor. The first chapter outlines his musical development and professional activity. Included are his activities as a conductor, arranger, and composer for singers and orchestra, as well as his collaborations with greats of the American folk music revival of the twentieth century. The catalogue of his complete published choral arrangements includes information on the sources of all folk material where possible, including the unique numbers assigned by the Roud Folksong Index for English-language songs. There is also an annotated listing of his complete choral compositions, which span from 1962 to the present and encompass a variety of styles. A relevant bibliography is included, highlighting De Cormier’s work as an early crossover artist working in both folk and classical music. ii Copyright © 2013 by Michael A.

  • Elie Siegmeister William Mayer
    ELIE SIEGMEISTER Symphony No. 3 (1957) OSLO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA Elie Siegmeister, conductor WILLIAM MAYER Overture for an American (1958) LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA Russell Stanger, conductor Essay for Brass and Winds (1954) NEW YORK BRASS AND WOODWIND ENSEMBLE Emanuel Balaban, conductor Country Fair (1957) ROBERT NAGEL BRASS TRIO THE name of Elie Siegmeister (b. New York City, 1909) has been associated for more than twenty years with a series of works inspired by American musical folklore, including most notably the highly successful Sing Out, Sweet Land, the Ozark Set (1943) and the Western Suite (premiered by Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony in 1945). The fact remains, however, that Siegmeister’s catalog of some half-a-hundred works exhibits a variety of forms together with a depth and scope that might not be suspected by those acquainted with only these popular scores. Siegmeister himself views his output as a whole as having three major facets, the least generally known and perhaps most important of which is that encompassing “absolute” musical works ranging in time from the Violin Sonata No. 1 (1931), Theme and Variations for Piano (1932), A Strange Funeral in Braddock (1933), and the String Quartet No. 1 (1935) to the Second and Third Symphonies (1950 and 1957) and the Flute Concerto and Second String Quartet (recorded on CRI 176), both dating from 1960. The second major sector of Siegmeister’s output includes the theater works in which both light and tragic elements are intermingled, from the 1942 “play with music” Doodle Dandy of the U.S.A. to the full-scale opera of 1963 on Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars.
