Compositional Craft And Theory Across Tonal Languages, Liam Butchart
Compositional Craft And Theory Across Tonal Languages, Liam Butchart
Honors Theses
This paper accompanies Liam Butchart's senior honors voice recital and his composition for the Colby Symphony Orchestra, Genevan Overture. The essay examines how form and cadence, two integral components of compositional craft, have been utilized by composers who either were included in the voice recital or were major influences on the composition. Specifically, the paper analyzes how different composers end their musical sentences similarly and differently through the lens of structurally-relevant cadences.
