Schoenfelder 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A project such as this one could easily go on forever. That said, I wish to thank many people for their assistance and support during the four years it took to complete this dissertation. First, I thank the members of my committee—Dr. Larry Crook, Dr. Paul Richards, Dr. Joyce Davis, and Dr. Jessica Harland-Jacobs—for their comments and pointers on the written draft of this work. I especially thank my committee chair, Dr. David Z. Kushner, for his guidance and friendship during my graduate studies at the University of Florida the past decade. I have learned much from the fine example he embodies as a scholar and teacher for his students in the musicology program. I also thank the University of Florida Center for European Studies and Office of Research, both of which provided funding for my travel to London to conduct research at the British Library. I owe gratitude to the staff at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. for their assistance in locating some of the materials in the Victor Herbert Collection.

  • Music Appreciation April 23, 2020
    Music Virtual Learning Music Appreciation April 23, 2020 Music Appreciation Lesson: April 23, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: Students will learn about the romantic era composers and their contributions to classical music. Bell Work Painting by Casper David Friedrich, Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. Take a look at this painting & think about what you have learned about the romantic era: Write about two emotions you see expressed in this famous painting? In what ways has the artist expressed those emotions? ● Romanticism encouraged artists to seek individual paths of expressing emotions. ● Romantics valued nature, the supernatural, myths, realm beyond the everyday, and national pride. ● Political and economic events impacted the way composers wrote music and artists expressed their emotions. Lesson Franz Lizst Franz Liszt ● Born: 1811 ● Hungarian composer ● Virtuoso at playing and composing ● Credited with the creation of the symphonic poem- an extended single movement work for orchestra inspired by paintings, plays, poems or other literary or visual works expressed through music. ● Famous works: Rhapsody no. 2 & La Campanella Feliz Mendelossohn Felix Mendelossohn ● Born in Germany: 1809 ● Child prodigy ● Composed the incidental music for Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” ● Was also inspired to compose through his travels. ● Notable pieces: Scherzo from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the Fingal’s Cave Overture, also known as the Hebrides, in reference to the rocky coast and ancient caverns of Scotland. Robert Schumann Robert Schumann ● Born: 1810 ● Focused on one genre of composing at a time. Piano was his first and most prolific. ● Married Clara Wieck, daughter of his first music teacher ● Promoted the music of Chopin, Berlioz and Brahms-all were close friends.

Munich: edition text und kritik. 148 pp., with photographs and music examples. Die politische Theorie in der neuen Musik: Karl Amadeus Hartmann und Hannah Arendt, by Raphael Woebs.

Weberns Schüler Karl Amadeus Hartmann und Ludwig Zenk und die politischen Implikationen ihres kompositorischen Handelns vor und nach 1945, by Marie-Therese Hommes. Basel: Edition Argus, 2010. 444 pp., with music examples. The waning of old-modernist models of history, Adorno's chief among them, has made possible the reevaluation of composers once overshadowed by the modernist mainstream. In the case of Karl Amadeus Hartmann, this reconsideration has taken several forms: looking at his symphonies within the larger history of the genre, re-appraising his role as a public postwar musical figure responsible for Munich's Musica Viva concerts,1 and also examining the nature of his political engagement. Hartmann can thus fruitfully be compared to composers such as Eisler and Dessau, whose work served more overt political aims than his own.2 Several recent publications address directly the question of Hartmann's political stance and its musical realization. Vindicating Hartmann as a political composer is no easy matter: not only must one face the far from unambiguous role he played from 1933-1945,3 but one must also rehabilitate the very possibility of political music itself, against its discreditation within the modernist mainstream. Principled appeals to ethics or to Hannah Arendt's political theories must thus be grounded in close musical analysis to be more than a mere rhetorical gesture.

  • Reflection and Emergence: Celebrating 20 Years of the Academy for the Love of Learning and Leonard Bernstein’S 100Th
    Reflection and Emergence: Celebrating 20 years of the Academy for the Love of Learning and Leonard Bernstein’s 100th 201 AUGUST 25 8 1 Copyright © 2018 Academy for the Love of Learning, Inc. © Kate Russell About the Academy 2018 marks both The Academy for the Love of Learning’s 20th anniversary and the centennial of the birth of the 20th century musical giant Leonard Bernstein. The Academy shares a deep history with Leonard Bernstein, and ultimately was birthed from an intense collaboration between Bernstein and Academy founder and President Aaron Stern during the fnal decade of Bernstein’s life. Stern, then Dean of the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, had a profound discovery about learning while observing how music students learned music. From that discovery, Stern recognized that a restoration of the human capacity to learn was essential not only to the revitalization of music, but all of education and more generally, Western culture itself. From this, Stern began to develop a body of work, pedagogy and learning methodologies that are now at the center of the Academy for the Love of Learning. Stern’s approach to learning found its counterpart in Bernstein’s vision for a better world and a lifelong commitment to sharing that vision through music. Stern’s clear conviction that by “taking the lid of learning, we can learn ourselves to a better world, individually and collectively” touched and inspired Bernstein deeply toward the end of his life. Bernstein invested in Stern enormously during that last decade of his life. Following Bernstein’s death in 1990, Stern developed further and implemented peripatetically the methodologies he frst began to explore while at the Conservatory.

  • An Examination of Jerry Goldsmith's
    THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, ESCAPING EARTH AND TONALITY: AN EXAMINATION OF JERRY GOLDSMITH’S TWELVE-TONE SCORE FOR PLANET OF THE APES VINCENT GASSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2019 © VINCENT GASSI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Jerry GoldsMith’s twelve-tone score for Planet of the Apes (1968) stands apart in Hollywood’s long history of tonal scores. His extensive use of tone rows and permutations throughout the entire score helped to create the diegetic world so integral to the success of the filM. GoldsMith’s formative years prior to 1967–his training and day to day experience of writing Music for draMatic situations—were critical factors in preparing hiM to meet this challenge. A review of the research on music and eMotion, together with an analysis of GoldsMith’s methods, shows how, in 1967, he was able to create an expressive twelve-tone score which supported the narrative of the filM. The score for Planet of the Apes Marks a pivotal moment in an industry with a long-standing bias toward modernist music. iii For Mary and Bruno Gassi. The gift of music you passed on was a game-changer. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Heartfelt thanks and much love go to my aMazing wife Alison and our awesome children, Daniela, Vince Jr., and Shira, without whose unending patience and encourageMent I could do nothing. I aM ever grateful to my brother Carmen Gassi, not only for introducing me to the music of Jerry GoldsMith, but also for our ongoing conversations over the years about filM music, composers, and composition in general; I’ve learned so much.
