Swing It Sister: The Influence Of Female Jazz Musicians On Music And Society, Kirsten Saur

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Female jazz vocalists, both as soloists and in groups, and instrumentalists, both as solo artists and in ensembles, of the jazz era influenced music and society in their own times and in later times. They added new musical concepts, added new vocal styles, worked to change the society they lived in, and worked hard to find their place in music no matter what got in their way, making them inspirations for future generations of women striving to succeed in the world. This paper looks at how these women of jazz influenced music, society, and future generations of women through their …

“Musical Fury”: Impressing Through Expressing In Baroque Improvisation, Hannah M. Rinehart

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Baroque music experienced a dramatic change in performance practice which sprang out of certain techniques used in the Renaissance period and the emphasis placed during this time on expression and emotion in music. In the Baroque time period, much emphasis was placed on expression, emotion, and creativity in both the academic sphere and in the arts. In the arts this can be seen in elaborate and decorative architecture, emotional and expressive paintings, and creative and individualized music. Music itself developed from the simple, structured forms of the Renaissance period to the driven, complex, emotional and expressive forms of the Baroque …

The Secret Society Of Opera, Brittney S. Mitchell

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Opera, perhaps fittingly described as an eclectic compilation of philosophy and Greek theater, emerged in Florence Italy during the late Renaissance. This Paper is essentially and observation of such activities attributed to a scholarly salon known as the Florentine Camerata. The Florentine Camerata was in fact a large series of scholarly salons throughout the Florence area. Many of their activists were amongst Florence’s greatest scientists, philosophers, and artists. This paper covers the inner workings of one specific Camerata that created the very first Operas. Then, one of the key attributors; Claudio Monteverdi, continued that tradition with his own developments. Monteverdi …

Birth Of The Pipes: The Organ From Its Beginnings Through The Baroque Era, Joshua Drake

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

The purpose of this presentation is to survey the development of the organ, which is one of the most magnificent and impressive musical instruments known to man. The main objective is also to explain how and why the organ developed the way that it did. Further, the presentation will attempt to answer the following questions: what deficiencies in the performance of early organs were organ builders trying to improve on, what differences in sound did they want new organs to be able to produce, and how did the needs and preferences of organists influence changes in organ design? The majority …

A Historically Informed Performance Of A Woman's Love And Life, Michaela S. Wade

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

In order to give an outstanding performance of this celebrated song cycle, the most important thing, besides learning the music, is to learn the history behind it. It greatly helps the performer to have knowledge of the music, which in turn helps with communicating the narrative to the audience. The information presented in this paper is derived from scholarly journal articles and books by professors and historians who have studied Robert Schumann in the Romantic period and the influence of his German song cycles. The purpose of this paper is to examine the origin of the text used in Schumann’s …

Coursing With Coils: The Only Orchestral Instrument Harder Than The French Horn, Sarah R. Plumley

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Playing the horn has become not only more sophisticated and accurate, but simpler and more efficient for the horn player than what it was three hundred years ago. The natural horn, used in a variety ways in early history, demanded an incredible level of skill and precision, more than our valved horn today in some ways because it required a more accurate ear, more embouchure dexterity, and the necessity of wrangling crooks for different keys. Thus, it required many practiced skills of the player that are no longer as necessary as they once were. This paper discusses each of these …
