    “I’VE A VOICE, I’VE A VOICE”: DETERMINING STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S COMPOSITIONAL STYLE THROUGH A MUSIC-THEORETIC ANALYSIS OF HIS THEATER WORKS BY ©2011 PETER CHARLES LANDIS PURIN Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ___________________________ Chairperson Dr. Scott Murphy ___________________________ Dr. Deron McGee ___________________________ Dr. Paul Laird ___________________________ Dr. John Staniunas ___________________________ Dr. William Everett Date Defended: August 29, 2011 ii The Dissertation Committee for PETER PURIN Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “I’VE A VOICE, I’VE A VOICE”: DETERMINING STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S COMPOSITIONAL STYLE THROUGH A MUSIC-THEORETIC ANALYSIS OF HIS THEATER WORKS ___________________________ Chairperson Dr. Scott Murphy Date approved: August 29, 2011 iii Abstract This dissertation offers a music-theoretic analysis of the musical style of Stephen Sondheim, as surveyed through his fourteen musicals that have appeared on Broadway. The analysis begins with dramatic concerns, where musico-dramatic intensity analysis graphs show the relationship between music and drama, and how one may affect the interpretation of events in the other. These graphs also show hierarchical recursion in both music and drama. The focus of the analysis then switches to how Sondheim uses traditional accompaniment schemata, but also stretches the schemata into patterns that are distinctly of his voice; particularly in the use of the waltz in four, developing accompaniment, and emerging meter. Sondheim shows his harmonic voice in how he juxtaposes treble and bass lines, creating diagonal dissonances.

  • S030320 De Mare CONCERT NOTES
    LIAISONS 2020: Re-Imagining Sondheim from the Piano Celebrating Stephen Sondheim at 90 Anthony de Mare, piano Williams College – Brooks-Rogers Recital Hall - March 3rd, 2020 COMPOSER COMMENTS: Stephen Hough • Pretty Lady I was enchanted when I first heard “Pretty Lady” - its gentle melancholy, its quirky harmony, its graceful simplicity. When Anthony asked me to write something for the Liaisons project, I decided to take this song and reimagine it as a kind of Gymnopédie, in homage to Erik Satie. Anthony de Mare • All Things Bright and Beautiful “All Things Bright and Beautiful”, originally from Follies, was replaced, although Sondheim included sections of it in the ravishing orchestral prologue to the show. For my setting, I’ve dipped into this opening segment, gradually segueing into the song, using variation as the core technique throughout, with fleeting tributes along the way to Ravel, Liszt, Richard Rodgers, Olivier Messiaen and John Adams. Though the lyrics of the original song highlight the hopeful, optimistic dreams of Sally and Ben, the reality of their bittersweet relationship is also accented at times within the harmony. Jeff Beal • Not A Day Goes By “Not A Day Goes By” has all the qualities I adore in Sondheim – its unforgettable melodic and lyrical hook is on one level startlingly simple, on another full of sly harmonic and melodic invention. Its emotive qualities of deep love, coupled with the ache of a breakup, counterbalance each other perfectly. My arrangement explores the bones of the original, highlighting an almost Bach-like architecture in the source, so the listener can feel the “two hands” in play.

The name was chosen by members of the consortium since it resonates well with both the community and the police in terms of use of local language as well as building trust and relationships between communities and the police. Translated, it means “Better relationships for Safety/ Security”. The two year project which comes to a close in March 2020 was being Implemented by four consortium members; Peace Brigades International, Saferworld, Mathare Social Justice Centre and Ghetto Foundation. This unique combination of International organisations and local grassroots organisations brought together the various strengths of the different organisations to build a formidable team which was able to meet the intended objectives of the project.
