Exploring Authenticity In Old-Time Music, Mikaela Langley
Exploring Authenticity In Old-Time Music, Mikaela Langley
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This thesis focuses on the question of authenticity in old-time music, and the ways in which it is studied in ETSU’s Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Country Music Studies program. In an academic setting, old-time is often studied in more of a historical or anthropological context and less as a specific style of music. Arguments for authenticity in this music have been made since the popularity of such films as “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “Cold Mountain”, which brought a lot of outside attention to the genres of bluegrass and old-time music, as well as defining the aesthetics associated with them. …
Creating And Performing A Composition For Tuba And Piano, Joel A. Ragona
Creating And Performing A Composition For Tuba And Piano, Joel A. Ragona
Undergraduate Honors Theses
In this creative thesis, I compose and perform a six movement art composition for tuba and piano. The reason for this performance and composition is two-fold.

Vilma Weber Von Webenau : Die Marienlieder, Sommerlieder Für Streichquartett Und Eine Sprechstimme, Carolyn Dehdari
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Vilma von Webenau (1875-1953) is not only worthy of study because of her connection with teacher Arnold Schoenberg. Her music is unique in the era of fin-de-siecle Vienna, but it also holds interest today because of its atmoshpheric and durational complexity, self-composed texts, and harmonic ambiguities. This critical edition seeks not only to present two of WEbenau's seventy works, but also to place Webenau in her historical and musical context. Exploring the aspects of Viennese modernism and the world that created it, I wish to give background to Webenau's life, of which so little is known. In trying to understand …
