Exploring The 19th-Century Bel Canto Style In Flute Playing: Selected Compositions By Leonardo De Lorenzo, Katerina Bachevska
Exploring The 19th-Century Bel Canto Style In Flute Playing: Selected Compositions By Leonardo De Lorenzo, Katerina Bachevska
Doctoral Projects
The subject of this research project is the accomplished and multifaceted Italian-American flutist, pedagogue, writer, and composer, Leonardo De Lorenzo. Although a limited amount of information is available about De Lorenzo, the bulk of all substantial research on the musician is predominantly in Italian, thereby creating limited accessibility for those who are not fluent in the language. Despite his significant musical influences, De Lorenzo's legacy remains underappreciated outside of Italian-speaking circles, leaving a profound void in the knowledge of his unique musical style and artistic vision. This document aims to bridge that void by providing contextualized information about this remarkable …
Villa-Lobos Choros No. 1: A Study Of The Recordings, Andrei Jan Hoffmann Uller
Villa-Lobos Choros No. 1: A Study Of The Recordings, Andrei Jan Hoffmann Uller
Dissertations
This dissertation explores changing perspectives on performance practice for the well-known solo guitar work Choros No.1 composed in 1920 by Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), by documenting different interpretations heard on selected recordings from across the 20th century and into the 21st century. The methodology considers the recordings as the main object of study. Choros No. 1 features a hybrid style that makes it especially interesting for a research method that captures performance details such as articulations, dynamic and agogic accents, timbre, and tempo flexibility. This dissertation will consider performance decisions that are not often discussed in the research. For example, the …
A Survey Of The Comparative Performance Demands Of Performing Mozart’S Fourth Horn Concerto On The Natural Horn And Modern Horn, Brandon Garrison
A Survey Of The Comparative Performance Demands Of Performing Mozart’S Fourth Horn Concerto On The Natural Horn And Modern Horn, Brandon Garrison
Doctoral Projects
The four horn concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are fundamental standards of horn repertoire. Since the production of Dennis Brain’s early recordings in 1953, many virtuoso horn players have recorded these concerti on the modern horn. However, there are few professional recordings made on the natural horn. Though Mozart’s four horn concertos are prominent in horn study across the world, they are rarely executed with correct performance practice techniques. In my presentation, I will demonstrate passages from Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 4 to survey the challenges when performed on natural horn versus the modern horn. It is important to understand …
A Rudimental Drumming Vocabulary Applied To The Folk Music Of Argentina, Justin Sherrod
A Rudimental Drumming Vocabulary Applied To The Folk Music Of Argentina, Justin Sherrod
Dissertations
This dissertation examines the methods and approaches used by Argentine percussionist Mr. Sebastian Hoyos to incorporate rudimental drumming into the composition Soy de Salta: Suite para percusión criolla y orquesta. The study demonstrates the steps taken to employ Argentinian folk music content through four folk styles: Baguala, Zamba, Chacarera, and Carnavalito. The bombo legüero, one of Argentina's most well-known and essential folk percussion instruments, plays a supportive and dominant role in Soy de Salta, introducing rudimental components into the music. This original research therefore addresses rudiments, variations of rudiments, and simple and complex writing styles for the snare drum …
Friedrich Warnecke: Toward A New Edition Of Ad Infinitum, Elton Machado
Friedrich Warnecke: Toward A New Edition Of Ad Infinitum, Elton Machado
Dissertations
The dissertation collects and organizes information on German double bassist, pedagogue, and author Friedrich Warnecke and investigates the significance of his life and work to the double bass history. The ever-changing European musical environment throughout Warnecke’s life, the challenges double bassists faced during that time, and the rapid developments of the double bass at the turn of the twentieth century provide a rich historical background. The study addresses Warnecke’s life, pioneering writings on the history of double bass, pedagogical contribution and influence as a teacher and author, and work as a performing double bassist. Finally, it discusses Warnecke’s substantial pedagogical-technical …

Finding Home: The Correlation Between Amanda Maier's Piano Trio In E-Flat Major And Swedish Folk Music, Christina Mathis, Christina Mathis
Doctoral Projects
This document examines the musical and rhythmical elements found in the Piano Trio in E-flat Major by Swedish composer Amanda Maier and their connection to Swedish folk music. The purpose of this project is to inform the reader of the history of Amanda Maier’s Piano Trio in E-flat Major, performance practices related to the work – including a connection between common rhythmic and melodic motives found in Swedish folk music and ideas Maier uses repeatedly in her trio – and to discuss collaborative challenges that may occur in performance of this piece. The research was based on a study of …
A Study On Vivian Fine’S Chamber Concerto For Cello And Six Instruments, Andrea Beltran Landers
A Study On Vivian Fine’S Chamber Concerto For Cello And Six Instruments, Andrea Beltran Landers
Dissertations
The music of American composer Vivian Fine (1913-2000) has fallen into obscurity despite its high quality. Her musical career has led her from being a child-prodigy at the piano to being a part of the elite inner circle of avant-garde composers in New York in the early 1930s, and ultimately to a faculty position at Bennington College in the 1960s. Due to the stability and job security that the academic world brought to Fine, she was able to dedicate most of her time to composition. The Chamber Concerto for Cello and Six Instruments belongs to this fruitful period in her …
