Scott, Dean of the College of Music Michael Monticino, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Thomas, Lisa Cheryl. Native American Elements in Piano Repertoire by the Indianist and Present-Day Native American Composers. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2010, 78 pp., 25 musical examples, 6 illustrations, references, 66 titles. My paper defines and analyzes the use of Native American elements in classical piano repertoire that has been composed based on Native American tribal melodies, rhythms, and motifs. First, a historical background and survey of scholarly transcriptions of many tribal melodies, in chapter 1, explains the interest generated in American indigenous music by music scholars and composers. Chapter 2 defines and illustrates prominent Native American musical elements. Chapter 3 outlines the timing of seven factors that led to the beginning of a truly American concert idiom, music based on its own indigenous folk material. Chapter 4 analyzes examples of Native American inspired piano repertoire by the “Indianist” composers between 1890-1920 and other composers known primarily as “mainstream” composers. Chapter 5 proves that the interest in Native American elements as compositional material did not die out with the end of the “Indianist” movement around 1920, but has enjoyed a new creative activity in the area called “Classical Native” by current day Native American composers.

College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, 2001 1844 Foxdale Court Crofton, MD 21114 410-721-0272 [email protected] ABSTRACT The Indianist Movement is a title many music historians use to define the surge of compositions related to or based on the music of Native Americans that took place from around 1890 to 1920. Hundreds of compositions written during this time incorporated various aspects of Indian folklore and music into Western art music. This movement resulted from many factors in our nation’s political and social history as well as a quest for a compositional voice that was uniquely American. At the same time, a wave of ethnologists began researching and studying Native Americans in an effort to document their culture. In music, the character piece was a very successful genre for composers to express themselves. It became a natural genre for composers of the Indianist Movement to explore for portraying musical themes and folklore of Native-American tribes.

  • Toccata Classics TOCC 0126 Notes
    ARTHUR FARWELL: PIANO MUSIC, VOLUME ONE by Lisa Cheryl Thomas ‘he evil that men do lives ater them’, says Mark Antony in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar; ‘he good is ot interred with their bones.’ Luckily, that isn’t true of composers: Schubert’s bones had been in the ground for over six decades when the young Arthur Farwell, studying electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, heard the ‘Uninished’ Symphony for the irst time and decided that he was going to be not an engineer but a composer. Farwell, born in St Paul, Minnesota, on 23 March 1872,1 was already an accomplished musician: he had learned the violin as a child and oten performed in a duo with his pianist elder brother Sidney, in public as well as at home; indeed, he supported himself at college by playing in a sextet. His encounter with Schubert proved detrimental to his engineering studies – he had to take remedial classes in the summer to be able to pass his exams and graduated in 1893 – but his musical awareness expanded rapidly, not least through his friendship with an eccentric Boston violin prodigy, Rudolph Rheinwald Gott, and frequent attendance at Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts (as P a ‘standee’: he couldn’t aford a seat). Charles Whiteield Chadwick (1854–1931), one of the most prominent of the New England school of composers, ofered compositional advice, suggesting, too, that Farwell learn to play the piano as soon as possible. Edward MacDowell (1860–1908), perhaps the leading American Romantic composer of the time, looked over his work from time to time – Farwell’s inances forbade regular study with such an eminent igure, but he could aford counterpoint lessons with the organist Homer Albert Norris (1860–1920), who had studied in Paris with Dubois, Gigout and Guilmant, and piano lessons with homas P.

Krom Nizhny Novgorod State Academy of Music named after M. Glinka, 40, Piskunova str., Nizhny Novgorod, 603005, Russian Federation For citation: Krom, Anna. “The East in the Works of Charles Griffes”. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Arts 10, no. 1 (2020): 3–16. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu15.2020.101 The article is devoted to the oriental compositions of the American composer Charles Griffes (1884–1920), created in the 1910s. These include the symphonic poem “The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla Khan” (1912–1917), the vocal cycle “Five Poems of Ancient China and Japan” for voice and piano (1916–1917), and the Japanese pantomime “Sho-Jo” (1917). Significant creative con- tacts (Eva Gauthier, A. Coomaraswamy, E. Bloch, A. Bolm, M. Ito), extensive reading, fascination with folklore, poetry, painting, and philosophy of Asian countries led to the formation of his own method of working with oriental materials. The composer saw prospects for the interaction of Western and Eastern music in his address to the archaic, to the stylization of ancient folklore. An example is the music for the pantomime “Sho-Jo” and the cycle “Five Poems of Ancient Chi- na and Japan.” Natural modes (pentatonic modes), organ points, ascetic quarto-quinto-second verticals, spatial sound, and rhythmic ostinato allow us to draw parallels with new folkloristics, in particular, with the works of I. F. Stravinsky. In the symphonic poem “The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla Khan,” the European influences at the forefront are associated with the study of the “Russian” East (first of all the writings of N.

  • A Forgotten Heritage: Arias and Scenes from Earlier American Operas
    A Forgotten Heritage: Arias and Scenes from Earlier American Operas Commentary by Aaron Ziegel, PhD Performers: Towson University’s “Music for the Stage” Recording Dates: 28 February 2015 & *3 June 2015 Recording Location: Towson University, Center for the Arts, Harold J. Kaplan Concert Hall and *Recital Hall Introduction “American operas of the past have generally been preserved in a silent limbo called ‘print,’ located in tombs of learning called ‘libraries.’ There, in stacks seldom disturbed by a curious hand, are the heroes and villains, the happy or tragic lovers, the adventurers and plotters, the leaders and the followers that inhabit the alluring land of opera.”1 With these words, the great historian of American music Gilbert Chase summed up the fate that has befallen nearly every American opera written prior to Porgy and Bess (1935). Even avid opera fans might be forgiven for assuming that the genre’s history in the United States begins with that seminal work, so little known are its predecessors. Second-hand opinions and inherited assumptions—or worse, simple ignorance—guide our thinking about the American scores that predate Gershwin’s contribution to the genre.2 The arias and scenes presented here aim to bring to light some of the operatic secrets that Chase’s tomb-like libraries hold, giving voice to the otherwise silent limbo of dusty scores. Opera—or at least sung music within theatrical contexts—entertained American audiences even before the Revolutionary War, so it should come as no surprise that American composers sought to tackle the genre. Initial homegrown efforts were at first sporadic in frequency, admittedly derivative in style, and of merely localized importance.

    "In the Glory of the Sunset": Arthur Farwell, Charles Wakefield Cadman, and Indianism in American Musk BethE. Levy Although the portrayal of Native Americans in Euro­ American art does not begin with Longfellow's Song of Hiawatha (1855), it would be difficult to overestimate the im­ portance of this narrative poemjn shaping later nineteenth­ and early twentieth-century representations of Indian life. Generations of school children have memorized and chant­ ed its infectious lines: Should you ask me, whence these stories, Whence these legends and traditions, With the odors of the forest, With the dew and damp of meadows, With the curling smoke of wigwams, With the rushing of great rivers, With their frequent repetitions{ And their wild reverberations, As of thunder in the mountains? I should answer, I should tell you, "From the forests and the prairies, From the great lakes of the Northland, From the land of the Ojibways, From the land of the Dacotahs, From the mountains, moors, and fen-lands Where the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah, Feeds among the reeds and rushes. I repeat them as I heard them From the lips of Nawadaha, The musician, the sweet singer." "There he sang of Hiawatha, Sang the Song of Hiawatha, Sang his wondrous birth and being, How he prayed and how he fasted, 128 repercussions Spring-Fall 1996 129 How he lived, and toiled, and suffered, That the tribes of men might prosper, That he might advance his people!" Ye who love a nation's legends, Love the ballads of a people, That like voices from afar off Call to us to pause and listen, Speak in tones so plain and childlike, Scarcely can the ear distinguish Whether they are sung or spoken;,.­ Listen to this Indian Legend, To this Song of Hiawatha!l Hiawatha was coupled with ethnographic studies, it was translated into Latin (presumably for student use), it was parodied by Lewis Carroll, among others, and actresses gave public recitals of its most popular passages.

Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B.

Master of Music (Musicology), December 2007, 84 pp., 26 musical examples, references, 134 titles. Music that is categorized as part of the Indianist movement in American music (ca. 1890-1925) typically evokes Native American culture, ritual, story, or song through compositional gestures. It may also incorporate Native American tunes. Amy Beach (1867-1944) is considered to have composed five Indianist works, but her Theme and Variations for Flute and String Quartet, op. 80 has not been included as one of them. This thesis rethinks categorization of the piece, seeking the “Indian” in it through examination of its gestures, instrumentation, and relationship to contemporary Indianist compositions.

  • American Music and Impressionism David Z. Kushner Professor Emeritus of Musicology, University of Florida the Relatively Short-L
    American Music and Impressionism David Z. Kushner Professor Emeritus of Musicology, University of Florida The relatively short-lived period known as Impressionism (ranging approximately from the eighth decade of the nineteenth century through the second decade of the twentieth century), though concentrated heavily in France, found practitioners, supporters, and admirers in Europe and the United States. In France the movement found a welcome home in the worlds of painting (e.g., Monet, Manet, Renoir, and Pissarro), literature (e.g., Mallarmé, Baudelaire, and Verlaine), and music (e.g., Fauré, Debussy, Dukas, and Ravel). This essay discusses the careers of six composers active in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who incorporated Impressionistic elements in their music: Frederick Delius, Edward MacDowell, Arthur Farwell, Charles Wakefield Cadman, Charles Griffes, and George Whitfield Chadwick. Impressionism became a significant movement in French music wherein certain compositional traits rose to the fore, among them the use of medieval ecclesiastical modes with emphasis on fourths, fifths, and octaves often in parallel motion, creating an aura of archaism; whole-tone and pentatonic scales, invoking an exotic or Eastern musical atmosphere; unprepared and unresolved chords often moving in parallel motion, thus departing markedly from the traditional harmony of the eighteenth century; added intervals, often seconds and sevenths, to blur tonalities (e.g. adding a D-flat to a C major chord); and special treatment of the pedals on the piano to not only blur tonalities but also to create unusual textures and to convey an unclear impression of the subject matter or to create tonal ambiguity.
