Edward Tarr Brass Ensemble in 1969 (In Formations from 5 to 15 Musicians) and the Duo (With Irmtraud Krueger, Organ) in 1980 Edward Biography Tarr Biography Edward H. Tarr is a native of Connecticut (USA) and a pupil of two of the most respected orchestral trumpeters: Roger Voisin and Adolph Herseth (Boston and Chicago Symphony Orchestras). His interest in the - at that time - more obscure reaches of the trumpet repertoire led Tarr to start researching whilst studying in the USA, and he continued and intensified his research after moving to Europe in 1959 to study musicology: (University of Basel with Prof. Leo Schrade; Ph.D. degree from University of Hamburg, 1986.) Edward H. Tarr is a pioneer in the reintroduction of historical brass instruments, and has made countless recordings and performances on natural trumpet and cornett, whilst not neglecting the modern instrument. He has toured the world, has been adviser to several musical instrument manufacturers (R. Egger in Basel and Yamaha) and has produced scholarly editions of the most important trumpet concerti. Activities in the world of musical education included teaching historical trumpet and cornett at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (from where he retired in 2001) and modern trumpet at the Basel Conservatory, as well as guest professorships and master classes in Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Melbourne, Sydney, Stanford, Los Angeles, Tallahassee, Lucerne, and Vaduz. He is also a much sought-after juror at major international competitions. Dr Tarr has been director of the Bad Saeckingen Trumpet Museum since its inception in 1985. He founded the Edward Tarr Brass Ensemble in 1969 (in formations from 5 to 15 musicians) and The Duo (with Irmtraud Krueger, organ) in 1980. For Naxos, Edward Tarr conducted the Wasa Baroque Ensemble and soloists on Vol. 5 of the Art of Baroque Trumpet, devoted to Italian composers. October 2001 .

  • A Selection of Contemporary Fanfares for Multiple Trumpets Demonstrating Evolutionary Processes in the Fanfare Form
    MODERN FORMS OF AN ANCIENT ART: A SELECTION OF CONTEMPORARY FANFARES FOR MULTIPLE TRUMPETS DEMONSTRATING EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES IN THE FANFARE FORM Paul J. Florek, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2015 APPROVED: Keith Johnson, Major Professor Eugene Corporon, Committee Member John Holt, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Florek, Paul J. Modern Forms of an Ancient Art: A Selection of Contemporary Fanfares for Multiple Trumpets Demonstrating Evolutionary Processes in the Fanfare Form. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2015, 73 pp., 1 table, 26 figures, references, 96 titles. The pieces discussed throughout this dissertation provide evidence of the evolution of the fanfare and the ability of the fanfare, as a form, to accept modern compositional techniques. While Britten’s Fanfare for St. Edmundsbury maintains the harmonic series, it does so by choice rather than by the necessity in earlier music played by the baroque trumpet. Stravinsky’s Fanfare from Agon applies set theory, modal harmonies, and open chords to blend modern techniques with medieval sounds. Satie’s Sonnerie makes use of counterpoint and a rather unusual, new characteristic for fanfares, soft dynamics. Ginastera’s Fanfare for Four Trumpets in C utilizes atonality and jazz harmonies while Stravinsky’s Fanfare for a New Theatre strictly coheres to twelve-tone serialism. McTee’s Fanfare for Trumpets applies half-step dissonance and ostinato patterns while Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman demonstrates a multi-section work with chromaticism and tritones.

  • Emotion and Vocal Emulation in Trumpet Performance and Pedagogy
    Sounding the Inner Voice: Emotion and Vocal Emulation in Trumpet Performance and Pedagogy by Geoffrey Tiller A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Geoffrey Tiller 2015 Sounding the Inner Voice: Emotion and Vocal Emulation in Trumpet Performance and Pedagogy Geoffrey Tiller Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines the aesthetics of trumpet performance with a focus on the relationship between a vocal approach and expressiveness in trumpet playing. It aims to improve current trumpet pedagogy by presenting different strategies for developing a theory of a vocal approach. Many of the concepts and anecdotes used in respected pedagogical publications and by trumpet teachers themselves are heavily influenced by the premise that emulating the voice is a desired outcome for the serious trumpet performer. Despite the abundance of references to the importance of playing trumpet with a vocal approach, there has been little formal inquiry into this subject and there is a need for more informed teaching strategies aimed at clarifying the concepts of vocal emulation. The study begins with an examination of vocal performance and pedagogy in order to provide an understanding of how emulating the voice came to be so central to contemporary notions of trumpet performance aesthetics in Western concert music. ii Chapter Two explores how emotion has been theorized in Western art music and the role that the human voice is thought to play in conveying such emotion. I then build on these ideas to theorize how music and emotion might be better understood from the performer’s perspective.

  • Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
    NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays.

    A PERFORMANCE GUIDE TO BERND ALOIS ZIMMERMANN'S TRUMPET CONCERTO, “NOBODY KNOWS DE TROUBLE I SEE” Matthew Haley, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Keith Johnson, Major Professor Eugene Corporon, Committee Member John Holt, Committee Member John Murphy, Director of Graduate Studies in College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Haley, Matthew. A Performance Guide to Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Trumpet Concerto, "Nobody Knows de Trouble I See." Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2013, 38 pp., 14 examples, 3 figures, bibliography, 60 titles. Bernd Zimmermann's Trumpet Concerto, "Nobody Knows de Trouble I See" is an important twentieth-century work for trumpet. Despite the stature of the composition, it has rarely been performed due to its considerable musical and technical demands. Integrating these diverse demands into a coherent performance requires careful consideration of the various performance practice consequences. The study begins by exploring the historical and musical context in which the work was written. It then considers the individual musical elements of the concerto. Finally, the study examines the performance practice implications of the work. The performance guide serves as a framework for making intelligent musical and technical decisions through context, analysis, and practical considerations. Copyright 2013 by Matthew Haley ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my teachers for their patient guidence: Ray Crisara, Ray Sasaki, Michael Tunnell, and Keith Johnson. I would also like to thank my wife Tyra for her love and support.

  • An Examination of the Influence of Selected Works of Franz Schmidt On
    AN EXAMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF SELECTED WORKS OF FRANZ SCHMIDT ON THE CONCERTO FOR TRUMPET AND ORCHESTRA AND THE SONATA FOR TRUMPET AND PIANO BY KARL PILSS John Mainard Wacker, B.M.E., M.M., J.D. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Keith Johnson, Major Professor Eugene Corporon, Minor Professor John Holt, Committee Member Terri Sundberg, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Wacker, John Mainard, An examination of the influence of selected works of Franz Schmidt on the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra and the Sonata for Trumpet and Piano by Karl Pilss. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2008, 57 pp., 27 musical examples, references, 36 titles. The Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra and the Sonata for Trumpet and Piano by Karl Pilss were written in 1934 and 1935, respectively. They are examples for solo trumpet of the late German Romantic style of melody, harmony, form and structure. Musicians and audience often overlook composer Karl Pilss outside his native Vienna. His ties to the Trompeterchor der Stadt Wien and the National Socialist Party during the years preceding the Second World War have limited widespread acceptance of this composer. Pilss’ output includes concertos for trumpet, horn, bass trombone, and piano, sonatas for trumpet, violin, and oboe, wind quintets and octets, piano pieces, choral works, and numerous large and small brass works.
