Electric Horizons: Advancing The Wind Band In Art Music, Joe Bozich
Electric Horizons: Advancing The Wind Band In Art Music, Joe Bozich
Summer Research
It goes without saying that the Symphony Orchestra holds a higher degree of artistic value than the Wind Ensemble in the professional musical world. Given the small body of repertory available to the band, it is clear also to see that the body of symphony-quality concert pieces is proportionately minute. A primary purpose of this research project, then, is the examination of those strong symphonies or symphony-like works for winds, deconstruct their successes and failures, and attempt to write another, symphonic-scaled work for the ensemble. The secondary purpose, given the recent popularity of large ensemble works combined with electronic augmentation, …
Uncharted Progress: A Musical Analysis Of The Elements And Evolution Of Rap, Mark Janzer
Uncharted Progress: A Musical Analysis Of The Elements And Evolution Of Rap, Mark Janzer
Summer Research
This research analyzes rap music from the earliest recordings to present day from a purely musical perspective, focusing on rhythm, rhyme, phrasing, and their interactions. Using these aspects of analysis, the paper reveals patterns, techniques, and styles rappers use, whether they are conscious of it or not. By analyzing rap of every era, the evolution of these patterns, techniques, and styles is brought to light. To achieve this, the paper also creates a system that other musicologists can use to analyze rap from a purely musical standpoint.

The Influence And Application Of Eastern Philosophy In The Western Musical Tradition, Matt B. Zavortink
Summer Research
This paper documents my summer research on the philosophy of music. Specifically, my research focused on the connection between the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and the composer Richard Wagner, as is evident in the opera Tristan und Isolde. I composed a piece of music for the University of Puget Sound Wind Ensemble attempting to utilize both a more Eastern approach to Schopenhauer's philosophy, relative to Wagner's interpretation, and to incorporate 20th century developments in musical technique, theory and language.
From Modality To Tonality: The Reformulation Of Harmony And Structure In Seventeenth-Century Music, Lukas Perry
From Modality To Tonality: The Reformulation Of Harmony And Structure In Seventeenth-Century Music, Lukas Perry
Summer Research
The syntax of common practice tonality creates the potential for expansive musical works, with almost guaranteed gratification for the listener through a harmonic interplay between tension and resolution. The evolution of common practice tonality from the older system of modes spans the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. With a focus on the seventeenth century, this study endeavors to clarify how, when, and, to some extent, why the monumental shift between modality and tonality occurred. A discussion of crucial differences between the two systems of musical organization—mainly the melodic basis of the modes versus the harmonic basis of the tonal major and …
