The History And Influence Of Tim Zimmerman And The King’S Brass, Eric Tyler Henson

Theses and Dissertations

From the Bible’s first mention of the trumpet in the book of Leviticus, to the prescribed uses of the instrument in the Psalms, to the trumpet blasts described in Revelation, the influence of brass instruments in the Christian faith has been present since ancient times.

Cancion Y Danza, Fetes Lointaines, Paisajes By Federico Mompou: A Stylistic Analysis, Qiaoni Liu

Theses and Dissertations

Spanish composer Frederic Mompou (1893-1987) created his music in an amazingly simple and mysterious way.

This study aims to provide more familiarity to readers about Mompou’s piano works with a goal of helping bring them to the attention of more pianists.

This study provides Mompou’s biography, as well as background information about the Spanish composer and his piano music. Some students may …

Live Performance, Digital Music, And The Music Listener Experience, Jessica Isenhour

Selected Honors Theses

Live music performance, specifically in a contemporary and modem atmosphere, such as in pop, rock, and hip-hop musical genres in a corporate concert environment, is constantly innovating.

This thesis aims to observe what consumers of music look for in live concert and digital music streaming environments, how performers have adapted and …
