Forbidden Planet: Film Score For Full Orchestra, Tim Perrine
Forbidden Planet: Film Score For Full Orchestra, Tim Perrine
Graduate Thesis Collection
The intent of my master's thesis is two-fold. First, I wanted to present a largescale work for orchestra that showcased the skills and craft I have developed as a composer (and orchestrator) to date. Secondly, since my goal as a composer is to work in Hollywood as a film composer, I wanted my large-scale work to function as a film score, providing the emotional backbone and highlighting action for a major motion picture. In order to achieve this, I needed a film that was both larger-than-life and contained, in my opinion, an easily replaceable score (or no score at all). …
Microtonal Systems And Guitar Composition, Michael Nielsen
Microtonal Systems And Guitar Composition, Michael Nielsen
Masters
This thesis focuses on the use of microtones in guitar composition. In the course of this study the physical aspects of musical sound (pitch, loudness and quality/timbre), vibrational frequencies of strings, and the theory of musical scales and tuning systems are discussed. Whole-number ratios corresponding to musical intervals within the twelve-note/equal temperament scale are calculated in relation to the overtone series for the purpose of surveying consonance and dissonance within the tempered system. These are compared to the ratios for corresponding intervals within the overtone series. Whole-number ratios are also calculated for intervals involving the microtones referred to in this …
Concerto For Marimba And Orchestra, Scott Blasco
Concerto For Marimba And Orchestra, Scott Blasco
Masters Theses
The Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra is a three-movement work in the traditional concerto form. The first movement is roughly Sonata-form, the second movement is in essence a set of variations on two mutually derivative melodies over an almost constant rhythmic motive of five eighth-notes, and the third movement is a short through-composed finale based on a quirky, angular melody. The tonal scheme of the concerto is fairly traditional, in that the outer two movements focus on an 'A' tonal center, while the slower middle movement is based on an 'E' tonality. Quintal, extended and added-tone tertian, and mixed cluster-based …
As The Ruin Falls, Luke Dahn
As The Ruin Falls, Luke Dahn
Masters Theses
As the Ruin Falls is a two-movement work scored for full orchestra, augmented with bass clarinet, piano, and three percussionists. Though the title comes from a poem written by C.S. Lewis, it is in no way is a programmatic representation of the poem's content. Furthermore, the programmatic "scenes" in the second movement do not relate to the poem. The title was selected only to signify the work's rather ominous character.
The primary musical building block for the entire work is a four-note chord whose construction is symmetrical - two minor thirds separated by a perfect fourth: C-Eb-Ab-Cb (or B). The …

Time Out, Tune In: Paul Desmond And Musical Coherence In The Odd-Metered Jazz Of The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Gary E. Jack
Time Out, Tune In: Paul Desmond And Musical Coherence In The Odd-Metered Jazz Of The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Gary E. Jack
Theses & Honors Papers
This thesis examines the improvised saxophone solos of Paul Desmond (1924- 1977) on the classic album Time Out (recorded by the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1959) with the purpose of delineating their contribution to the musical whole in terms of melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, timbral, and dynamic, and formal elements.

Tripoe:Try, Bruno Ruviaro
Tripoe:Try, Bruno Ruviaro
Music
The piece treats texts by Poe, cummings and Mallarmé as “musical fragments” — specifically, Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart serves, in a more modest setting, a similar function as that of Mahler in Berio’s Sinfonia: some sort of ongoing, complete background quotation of an entire work, onto which various other elements are grafted. (*) Clear quotations appear once more: Nono and Stockhausen being the most prominent, so to speak. From Berio’s A-Ronne, I borrowed a vocal process of splitting vowels and consonants of a same word among different singers. When these borrowings appear, they are usually connected to some portion of …

Music
“Zwar ist’s mit der Gedankenfabrik Wie mit einem Weber-Meisterstück Wo ein tritt tausend Fäden regt Die Schifflein herüber hinüber schiessen Die Fäden ungesehen fliessen Ein Schlag tausend Verbindungen schlägt.” [excerpt of Urfaust, by Goethe] “A verdade é que a fábrica de pensamentos É tal qual o ofício do tecelão, Em que um passo move milhares de fios, As navetas cruzam de um lado a outro, Os fios deslizam sem serem vistos E mil nós se formam de uma só vez.” [excerto de Fausto Zero, de Goethe. Tradução de Christine Röhrig]
