The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.

INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.

ARNOLD SCHOENBERG (1874-1951) Verklarte Nacht (Transfigured Night) Most people associate Arnold Schoenberg with development of the "twelve-tone" sys tem of musical composition. However, one of his most popular works, Verklarte Nacht, was composed early in his career (1899) at the age of twenty-five, before his experiments in atonality were evident. Though primarily a self-taught composer, Schoenberg admits to having been greatly influenced by Brahms and Wagner during this period. Verklarte Nacht was unusual in that it was a tone poem composed for a chamber ensemble (string sextet). It was based on a poem written in 1896 by Richard Dehmel, whose work Schoenberg particularly admired.

Richard Adeney 1920–2010 Tributes to the Great British Player
Richard Adeney 1920–2010 Tributes to the great British player Richard Adeney 25 January 1920–16 December 2010. ichard Adeney was one of the finest flute players of the twentieth century. In a long and distinguished orchestral career he was first flute in the London RPhilharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra, and appeared as a freelancer with many others. As a chamber musician he was a founder member of the Melos Ensemble, and he was a popular soloist and recording artist. Richard Adeney was born into a family of artists. His father, Bernard Adeney, had a short-lived marriage with his fellow artist Thérèse Lessore. When this marriage Richard Adeney at the age ended he introduced her to his friend Walter Sickert, who married her. Richard’s of eighty in 2000. mother, Noël, was an artist and textile designer. ‘I was named after that crackpot, the painter known early on as Walter Sickert, but later preferring to be called by his second name, Richard,’ he wrote. Adeney took up the flute at Bryanston School in Dorset and later studied at the Royal College of Music. When the Second World War broke out he applied for and, to his surprise, received conscientious objector status, which left him free to pursue a playing career. His earliest recordings were made on 78 RPM discs, and he participated in countless recordings on LPs, as a member of orchestras and chamber ensembles and as a soloist. His recordings with the Melos Ensemble of Debussy’s Sonate for flute, viola and harp and Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro remain for many the favourite performance of these works.
