Inside Story: An Arts-Based Exploration Of The Creative Process Of The Storyteller As Leader, Heather Forest
Inside Story: An Arts-Based Exploration Of The Creative Process Of The Storyteller As Leader, Heather Forest
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Storytelling is one of humanity's oldest art forms and an enduring educational method. Stories can spark social change. Although storytelling is tacitly recognized in diverse social science domains as a communication medium used to powerfully transmit leadership vision and ideas, little empirical research has been reported about how a teller constructs and tells a story. Through qualitative, arts-based methods, this heuristic study examines and describes the lived experience of a storyteller composing and performing a tale on issues of peace, justice, and social change. It reflects on the teller as leader and identifies a palette of arts-based skills for change …
Edward Said And The Study Of Music, Kofi Agawu
Edward Said And The Study Of Music, Kofi Agawu
Publications and Research
My first encounter with Edward Said’s work was in the 1980s with the book, Beginnings: Intention and Method (1975). I was exploring a semiotic approach to late 18th-century music, specifically, a beginning-middle-ending paradigm (an Aristotelian paradigm) that seemed to me to capture the rhetorical intentions of Classic composers. Said’s wide-ranging reflections and ruminations on beginnings – as inaugural moments, as sites for the establishment of difference, as authorially privileged moments, and as "first steps in the intentional production of meaning" – proved inspiring. My enduring impression of him at the time was that he was a very good …
Quintet For Two Violins, Viola, Cello And Piano, And String Quartet No. 1 By Lazar Nikolov, Alexandra Dotcheva
Quintet For Two Violins, Viola, Cello And Piano, And String Quartet No. 1 By Lazar Nikolov, Alexandra Dotcheva
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Lazar Nikolov (1922-2005) was a representative of the so-called third generation of Bulgarian composers. Together with his closest friend, composer and conductor Konstantin Iliev, Nikolov founded the postwar avant garde in Bulgaria. He was among the first composers in Eastern Europe to abandon the influence of musical folklore and employ non-tonal techniques. Shortly before graduating from the State Academy of Music in 1946, Nikolov felt that the masters from the previous two generations had already used all the successful means to incorporate neo-Romantic features and Bulgarian folk material into art music. He was perceptive enough to recognize the danger of …
Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem: Dialectic And The Chromatic Middleground, Patrick Tuck
Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem: Dialectic And The Chromatic Middleground, Patrick Tuck
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem (1868) has been the focus of much scholarly research. The present study focuses specifically on the work’s dialectic: the presentation and resolution of a conflict between mortal suffering and eternal joy. It takes an Schenkerian approach to the tonal content of the piece, which provides a musical reflection of the human spiritual journey to the afterlife. It examines how Brahms brings his chosen texts to life with the aid of musical processes such as mixture, register transfer, coupling, covering lines, and contrasting textures. The present study will cite previous authors who have noted the opposing forces …
The Formation Of A Style: Selected Early Works By Hugo Wolf, Jure Rozman
The Formation Of A Style: Selected Early Works By Hugo Wolf, Jure Rozman
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Hugo Wolf’s (1860–1903) most pronounced talent was in marrying music and poetry in novel ways, which is clearly demonstrated by his more than 240 art songs. In his early years Wolf composed a series of works for piano solo, published for the first time in 1974 by the Musikwissenschaftlicher Verlag in Vienna. This paper explores these and other formative works in detail, focusing on music-theoretical issues, but also placing them in historical context by means of a brief biography which includes recent discoveries regarding Wolf’s Slovene lineage.
Three Sonatas For Piano By Emma Lou Diemer, Chin-Ming Michelle Lin
Three Sonatas For Piano By Emma Lou Diemer, Chin-Ming Michelle Lin
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Emma Lou Diemer (1927- ), an eclectic, still active American composer, has composed in many different musical genres for both professional and amateur groups. She is well-known for her vocal music Three Madrigals (1962) and her Concerto in One Movement for Piano (1991), which won Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards in 1992. Diemer’s piano music includes pedagogical works as well as concert pieces. Her piano sonatas are sophisticated compositions for piano which combine both advanced technical elements and musical complexities. Of her three piano sonatas, Piano Sonata No.3 is particularly accessible to listeners. The Sonata for Piano in One Movement was …
A Taxonomy Of The Effects And Affects Of Surface-Level Metric Dissonance, Jennifer Rae Shirley
A Taxonomy Of The Effects And Affects Of Surface-Level Metric Dissonance, Jennifer Rae Shirley
LSU Master's Theses
In his book, Fantasy Pieces, Harald Krebs presents a taxonomy of metric dissonance that lays a foundation for further study. The system that Krebs presents leaves ample opportunity to answer the following questions: Do metric dissonances that are labeled the same way have the same function in their musical context? What is the role of listening in the categorization of metric dissonance? While many theorists, including Richard Cohn, Walter Frisch, and Yonatan Malin, have provided valuable insights to the realm of metric dissonance, their work focuses mainly on hypermeter, large-scale formal implications, or specific analyses. In light of the above …

John Mackey: The Composer, His Compositional Style And A Conductor's Analysis Of Redline Tango And Turbine, Rebecca L. Phillips
John Mackey: The Composer, His Compositional Style And A Conductor's Analysis Of Redline Tango And Turbine, Rebecca L. Phillips
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of this monograph is to present the first formal analysis of John Mackey and his music. Through substantive firsthand interaction with the composer, this document details Mackey’s unique compositional development through computer-based learning and includes a conductor’s analysis of Redline Tango and Turbine. Mackey’s compositional style includes simplistic forms using melodies and harmonies that do not readily demonstrate the difficulties conductors and performers may find within his well-crafted compositions. Mackey’s work emphasizes the element of rhythm and his orchestration typically utilizes the conventional instrumentation for wind ensemble with prominence placed on percussion. Redline Tango has been awarded two …
Liturgical Expressions Of A Classical Romantic: A Choral Conductor's Investigation Of Selected Sacred Trebel Chorus Compositions By Josef Rheinberger, Natasia Sexton
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Abstract In his attention to the demands of the liturgy, ideals of musical reform in worship during the 19th century, and contemporary compositional practices, Rheinberger reflected his environment in the Marianische Hymnen, opus 171 and the Missa in g, opus 187. Although little documentation exists regarding the origins of these compositions, clearly they were intended for Catholic worship. Syllabic, homophonic settings of Latin texts feature graceful yet restrained organ accompaniments functioning to support the voices while revealing the liturgical practices of the period. Furthermore, diary entries by both Rheinberger and his wife reveal that the composer occasionally prepared works for …

African Art Music For Flute: A Study Of Selected Works By African Composers, Wendy Kristin Hymes Onovwerosuoke
African Art Music For Flute: A Study Of Selected Works By African Composers, Wendy Kristin Hymes Onovwerosuoke
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Recent years have witnessed an increase in the number of Western classical music performers actively programming works employing multi-cultural musical idioms. Though there exist many compositions by African composers, African art music is not often programmed by Western performers because of the lack of exposure these compositions have received, lack of commercially-available recordings, and the difficulties of obtaining information about African musical styles. The information presented in this research aims to aid performers in their preparation and approach to performing African art music compositions, specifically those for the western flute. This research includes biographical information and compositional philosophies of five …

Narratives In Music: Schelmo, Hebraic Rhapsody For Cello And Orchestra, Asu Perihan Karadut
Narratives In Music: Schelmo, Hebraic Rhapsody For Cello And Orchestra, Asu Perihan Karadut
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Born in July 1880, in Geneva, Switzerland, Ernest Bloch became one of the leading composers of the 20th century. He wrote series of works, which he called “The Jewish Cycle.” They represented a new, distinctive musical language, in which Bloch combined eastern and western music traits. Schelomo, Hebraic Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra (1915-16) was the last composition from the cycle. It showed mastery of a style Bloch had been developing since his earlier compositions. This project will show Schelomo’s place in “The Jewish Cycle” and its importance on Bloch’s departure from the popular trends of the early 20th century. …

The ensemble and the eight-channel loudspeakers are spatialized. The piece is divided in six movements without interruption. The first five movements are separated by 4 cadenzas for the solo instruments. Most of the …
The Apologia Of Franchino Gafurio: A Critical Edition And Translation, Patrick Joseph Kaufman
The Apologia Of Franchino Gafurio: A Critical Edition And Translation, Patrick Joseph Kaufman
LSU Master's Theses
Franchino Gafurio’s Apologia (Turin, 1520) is one musical treatise in a series of works that constituted the famous “pamphlet war” between he and Giovanni Spataro. The dispute originated with the publication of Bartholomeo Ramis de Pareia’s Musica practica (Bologna, 1482). Unconventional and unapologetically critical, Ramis rejected venerated musical traditions in an attempt to align music theory with contemporary music practice. He opposed the Pythagorean division of the monochord and Guidonian solmization syllables, and instead proposed a division which produced pure thirds, and a solmization system based on the octave. His iconoclastic proposals and his highly sarcastic tone called forth a …
