Steven Siegel, Student David Elliott, Major Professor Dr. Michael Baker, Director of Graduate Studies “A PERFORMER’S GUIDE TO WORKS FOR TRUMPET AND SYNTHESIZER BY MEG BOWLES” DMA PROJECT A document submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the School of Music at the University of Kentucky By Steven Sam Siegel Lexington, Kentucky Co-directors: David Elliott, Professor of Horn and Dr. Jason Dovel, Professor of Trumpet Lexington, Kentucky Copyright ã Steven Sam Siegel 2017 ABSTRACT OF PROJECT “A PERFORMER’S GUIDE TO WORKS FOR TRUMPET AND SYNTHESIZER BY MEG BOWLES” The trumpet and electronics genre of music has been in existence since 1965. While various dissertations have discussed other composers and their works in this field, there is still a need for a treatise exploring appropriate performance practice for the electroacoustic trumpet music of Meg Bowles. There has been no study of the compositional process nor trumpet techniques required for performance of these works and other electronic compositions. This dissertation will study the compositions for trumpet and electronics by Bowles, develop strategies for performing these works, and explore compositional techniques used to create them. Interviews have been conducted between the author and composer (Meg Bowles), as well as the author and collaborating performer (David Bilger). In addition, existing interviews with the composer are included from journals and websites. This document is presented in two parts: Part I, “Introduction to Music for Trumpet and Electronics,” “Biography of Meg Bowles,” “Compositional Techniques,” “Night Sun Journey,” “Places Where Rivers Meet,” “Shapeshifter,” and “Twilight Embrace.” The second part of this dissertation contains materials which are pertinent to the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree and includes recital programs, program notes, and vita. KEYWORDS: Trumpet and Synthesizer, Trumpet and Electronics, Meg Bowles, David Bilger, Night Sun Journey Steven Sam Siegel April 18, 2017 “A PERFORMER’S GUIDE TO WORKS FOR TRUMPET AND SYNTHESIZER BY MEG BOWLES” By Steven Sam Siegel Professor David Elliott Co-Director of Dissertation Dr. Jason Dovel Co-Director of Dissertation Dr. Michael Baker Director of Graduate Studies April 18, 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude toward numerous people for their assistance and support with this project. First and foremost, I would like to thank Meg Bowles for allowing me to use her works as the focus of this document. In addition, I cannot thank her and David Bilger enough for their willingness to share their knowledge and expertise with me. This project would have been impossible without their help. I would also like to thank my doctoral committee (Dr. Jason Dovel, Professor David Elliott, Dr. Michael Baker, and Dr. Jeffrey Peters) for their time and guidance in the completion of this project. I am not only grateful for their commitment to assist me with this project, but for all of the advice and support they have provided me since I began my studies at the University of Kentucky. I would specifically like to thank Dr. Jason Dovel for introducing me to music for trumpet and electronics, sparking my interest in the genre. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their love and support throughout my musical career. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ...........................................................................................................iii List of Figures ....................................................................................................................vi Part I Chapter One: Introduction to Music for Trumpet and Electronics ......................................1 Chapter Two: Biography of Meg Bowles ............................................................................4 Chapter Three: Compositional Process ................................................................................7 Chapter Four: Night Sun Journey ........................................................................................9 Chapter Five: Places Where Rivers Meet Introduction ............................................................................................................14 “Ancestral Ground” ...............................................................................................14 “Strange Rapids” ....................................................................................................18 “Between Shadows and Prayers” ...........................................................................20 Chapter Six: Shapeshifter ..................................................................................................22 Chapter Seven: Twilight Embrace .....................................................................................26 Conclusion .........................................................................................................................29 Appendix A: Interview with Meg Bowles .........................................................................30 Appendix B: Interview with David Bilger .........................................................................34 References ..........................................................................................................................38 Part II Recital Program Dates .......................................................................................................39 Program One: Solo Recital-April 25, 2015 ........................................................................40 Joseph Haydn, Concerto in E-flat Major ...............................................................41 Meg Bowles, Night Sun Journey ...........................................................................42 iv Fisher Tull, Eight Profiles for Solo Trumpet .........................................................43 Kelly Rossum, Roshi .............................................................................................44 Program Two: Solo Recital-October 24, 2015 ..................................................................45 Giuseppe Torelli, Concerto in D ............................................................................46 William Lovelock, Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra .....................................46 Dexter Morrill, Nine Pieces for solo trumpet ........................................................47 Marcel Mihalovici, Meditation ..............................................................................48 Harry James, Concerto for Trumpet ......................................................................49 Program Three: Chamber Recital-November 8, 2015 .......................................................51 Aaron Copland, Hoe-Down from Rodeo .............................................................52 Oskar Böhme, Sextet in E-flat Minor ....................................................................53 Brian Balmages, Exaltation ...................................................................................54 Morley Calvert, Three Dance Impressions ............................................................54 Gus Kahn

It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics.

  • Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
    NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays.

Burak Karaağaç olmak üzere, çalışmalarım boyunca beni her daim destekleyen aileme ve dostlarıma sonsuz teşekkürlerimi bir borç bilirim. vi ÖZET BOZALP, Deniz, Paul Hindemith Trompet ve Piyano için Sonatın Form ve İcra Yönünden İncelenmesi, Yüksek Lisans Sanat Çalışması Raporu, Ankara, 2018. Paul Hindemith, modern müziğin en önemli bestecilerinden biridir. Bestecinin matematiksel olarak deha sayılabilecek bir yazım stili vardır (Dinç, 2008). “Belki de bu yüzdendir ki Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün daveti üzerine 1935 yılında Türkiye’ye gelmiş ve müzik yaşamının daha kapsamlı bir biçimde örgütlenip organize edilmesi hususunda danışman olarak görev yapmıştır” (Say,1998). Paul Hindemith, ülkemizde çalışacak sanatçı kadrolarını da kendisi belirleyerek 1935-37 yılları arasında Ankara’da o zamanki adı Devlet Konservatuvarı olan okulumuzu en ince ayrıntısına dek tasarlayıp kurmuştu Eğitim sistemimizde ve tarihimizde oldukça emeği olan bestecinin bu başarılarının tohumları aslında çok küçük yaşta atılmıştır. Henüz çocukken keman çalışmalarına başlayan Paul Hindemith, Frankfurt Konservatuvarı’na girerek ileri keman, orkestra şefliği ve kompozisyon dersleri almış ve 1914 de yardımcı şef, 1917 de ise konzertmeister olarak Frankfurt Opera Orkestrası’nda önemli pozisyonlarda görev yapmıştır. Aynı yıldan 1940 yılına kadar gerek besteciliği, gerek kemancılığı, gerek eğitimci yönü, gerekse viyolacılığı ve orkestra şefliği ile uluslararası müzik çevrelerinde büyük başarılar elde etmiştir.

  • Playlist #22 - Wednesday, September 2Nd, 2020
    Legato in Times of Staccato Playlist #22 - Wednesday, September 2nd, 2020 Curated by Music Director, Fouad Fakhouri Beethoven: Violin Concerto (Itzhak Perlman, violin) Written in 1806 (between his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies) Beethoven wrote the only Violin Concerto he completed for violin virtuoso, Franz Clement. The Napoleonic invasion of Austria was in full stride when he completed the work. In fact, the French officers were quartered in the same house with Beethoven when he set the last marking to the concerto. Beethoven: Triple Concerto in C major Op. 56 & Choral Fantasy in C minor Op. 80 (Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, & Daniel Barenboim) Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C major, Op. 56, more commonly known as the Triple Concerto, was composed in 1803 and later published in 1804 by Breitkopf & Härtel. The choice of the three solo instruments effectively makes this a concerto for piano trio, and it is the only concerto Beethoven ever completed for more than one solo instrument. Bach: Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (Yo-Yo Ma, cello) The Prelude of the 1st Suite for unaccompanied cello by J.S. Bach is possibly the most immediately recognizable solo work for the instrument. The pattern of the suite is the one largely followed in the subsequent suites: a free prelude, followed by a fast Allemande and Courante, a contemplative Sarabande, a Minuet that makes an excursion into a minor key, and a speedy closing Gigue. Haydn: Trumpet Concerto (Wynton Marsalis, trumpet) Joseph Haydn's Trumpet Concerto was written in 1796 for his long-time friend Anton Weidinger.
