    An Analysis of Two Works for Orchestra: Adagio Trágico and Ocho Miniaturas by Panamanian Composer Roque Cordero By Carlos Espinosa-Machado Submitted to the graduate degree program in the School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson, Prof. David Neely ________________________________ Prof. Peter Chun ________________________________ Prof. Paul Tucker ________________________________ Dr. Roberta Schwartz ________________________________ Dr. Jacob Dakon Date Defended: February 2, 2015 The Dissertation Committee for Carlos Espinosa-Machado certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: An Analysis of Two Works for Orchestra: Adagio Trágico and Ocho Miniaturas by Panamanian Composer Roque Cordero ________________________________ Chairperson, Prof. David Neely Date approved: February 3, 2015 ii Abstract Roque Cordero (1917-2008) is perhaps the most successful composer to emerge from Panama, yet his compositions remain relatively unknown in the orchestral repertoire. This document studies two works for chamber orchestra: Adagio Trágico (1955) and Ocho Miniaturas (1948), and shows how his fusion of dodecaphonism and Latin American folk rhythms sets him apart from other twelve-tone composers. It begins by briefly discussing political history in mid-twentieth century Panama in order to better understand the climate in which Cordero was composing, and continues to discuss the life and compositional style of Cordero. This paper then discusses the challenges that twelve-tone works present to an orchestra, and suggested approaches to solve these problems. The analysis of Adagio Trágico shows how Cordero utilizes ostinatos, fugues, intense climaxes, and long melodies in a twelve-tone setting.

  • Hybridity in Flute Music of Four Contemporary Composers
    HYBRIDITY IN FLUTE MUSIC OF FOUR CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS Yeji Kim A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS December 2012 Committee: Marilyn Shrude, Advisor Robert W. Midden Graduate Faculty Representative Mary Natvig John Sampen © 2012 Yeji Kim All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Shrude, Advisor Hybridity is a concept that is widely discussed in the field of cultural studies. The term can be applied to anything that exhibits a fusion or mixture of elements and fades the demarcation between the elements. In music it is evident in the fusion of such disparate elements as old and new styles; electronic and acoustic media; Western and non-Western music; audio and visual components; classical and popular music; and the use of quotation. These elements are often combined in works that contribute to a hybrid musical vocabulary with a distinctive style, so that the points of departure are often blurred. Many recently composed works for flute demonstrate hybridity. The purpose of this document is to explore the concept of hybridity as evidenced in the flute works of four contemporary American composers and flutists: Cynthia Folio (b. 1954), Anne La Berge (b. 1955), Janice Misurell-Mitchell (b. 1946), and Maggi Payne (b. 1945). The study examines what brought about their hybrid approach to composition, as well as the relationship between their roles as both creator and presenter of works that demonstrate hybridity. Extensive email interviews, consultation of available sources, and analyses of compositions are the essential research tools.

  • Creating Music of the Americas in the Cold War: Alberto Ginastera And
    MUSIC OF THE AMERICAS IN THE COLD WAR: ALBERTO GINASTERA AND THE INTER-AMERICAN MUSIC FESTIVALS Alyson Payne A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2007 Committee: Carol A. Hess, Advisor Steven Cornelius ii ABSTRACT Carol A. Hess, Advisor This thesis examines the complexities of the Inter-American Music Festivals, and how the festivals subsequently affected noted Argentine composer, Alberto Ginastera. These festivals, held in Washington D.C. and sponsored by the Organization of American States, arose during the height of the United States-Soviet conflict, when hemispheric solidarity presented the best defense against communism’s encroachment. As such, these festivals employed music to cultivate an inter-American alliance within the Cold War environment. Further, they constructed an image of American unity that could be projected around the globe. Inter-Americanism has existed since the 1830’s, yet a definition remains elusive—and controversial. It has taken on a myriad of meanings for various scholars and politicians, contingent upon the time period and the user’s proximity to power. Despite its nebulous qualities, inter-Americanism does have one distinguishing feature. Its importance increases exponentially when the United States is involved in a crisis. During the 1950’s, inter-Americanism provided an antidote to Latin American political nationalism. Some U.S. politicians felt that this “third-world nationalism,” if left untreated, could develop into an all-out communist infestation. The Organization of American States (OAS) imbued their various economic and diplomatic strategies to subvert communist activities in Latin America with inter-American rhetoric.
