A Pedagogical Analysis Of Selected Pieces From Albumblätter, Op. 124, By Robert Schumann, Amanda Elizabeth Montgomery Jan 2007

A Pedagogical Analysis Of Selected Pieces From Albumblätter, Op. 124, By Robert Schumann, Amanda Elizabeth Montgomery

LSU Major Papers

Robert Schumann composed numerous pieces that are accessible to the intermediate piano student. In addition to his well-known Album für die Jugend, Op. 68, certain pieces from the Albumblätter, Op. 124 also provide excellent pedagogical material. Albumblätter is one of the last collections published during the composer’s life. The collection contains works written as early as 1832 and as late as 1845, spanning much of Schumann’s creative lifetime. He discarded several of the compositions from earlier sets, such as Carnaval Op. 9 and Kinderscenen Op. 15. Others were composed for a projected collection, XII Burle, which Schumann later abandoned. He …


The Selected Sacred Solo Vocal Motets Of Claudio Monteverdi Including Confitebor Tibi, Domine, Kimberly Ann Roberts Jan 2007

The Selected Sacred Solo Vocal Motets Of Claudio Monteverdi Including Confitebor Tibi, Domine, Kimberly Ann Roberts

LSU Major Papers

Claudio Monteverdi’s operas and madrigals, and their importance in the development of Western Music has been researched and discussed by many scholars. His sacred output, particularly the solo motets, is not as thoroughly researched. This study briefly explores Monteverdi’s life with emphasis on his sacred output, and discusses his development of text expression in the solo motets that echo the expressive progression found in his madrigals and operas. While focusing on three solo motets (two settings of Confitebor tibi, Domine and a setting of Currite, populi), this study traces the refinement of text expression and the development of stile concitato, …

Judith Weir's King Harald's Saga: Innovations Of Character And Virtuosity In Contemporary Opera, Kelly Fiona Lynch

LSU Major Papers

In 1979, Scottish-born composer Judith Weir wrote King Harald’s Saga for the soprano Jane Manning. Although an opera in three acts, the cast consists of one performer unaccompanied, interpreting various characters, including the protagonist, King Harald, two of his wives, and the entire Norwegian Army. The opera presented in its entirety is ten minutes in duration. The scope of this paper is intended to assist the performer as well as those who are interested in contemporary opera. I have provided a brief overview of Weir’s compositional style in opera, chamber opera and song. As King Harald’s Saga was Weir’s first …


An Analytical Approach To Vibraphone Performance Through The Transcription And Analysis Of Gary Burton's Solo On Blue Monk, Charles Bryant Brooks Jan 2007

An Analytical Approach To Vibraphone Performance Through The Transcription And Analysis Of Gary Burton's Solo On Blue Monk, Charles Bryant Brooks

LSU Major Papers

The purpose of this study is to gain a insight into the realm of solo jazz vibraphone performance through the transcription and analysis of Gary Burton's improvised solo on "Blue Monk" by Thelonious Monk, recorded on the Album Face to Face with pianist Makoto Ozone. Gary Burton is the inventor of the "Burton grip," a four-mallet grip used for vibraphone performance. His individual approach to playing the vibraphone and highly developed technique seem unattainable for many students of percussion. Nonetheless,many vibraphonists, including Burton, have published method books about his grip and its application. In order to emulate his style diligent …

Ross Lee Finney (1906-1997), significant American composer and pedagogue, published five works for solo voice and piano within his catalogue of genres and styles.

The purpose of this study will be to examine seventeen of the thirty-six songs from the cycle and provide performance suggestions. The written document is comprised of five chapters: Chapter One provides biographical information and …
