Flamenco Deep Song [Book Review], Antoni Pizà
Publications and Research
Timothy Mitchell's Flamenco Deep Song certainly is not a flamenco handbook describing the genres, forms, instruments, and biographies of flamenco music, but a critical study questioning the accounts of flamenco (its histories, one could say) that have been set forward by historians, anthropologists, folklorists, and even flamenco artists themselves.

Don Quixote (1950) [Music Review], Antoni Pizà
Publications and Research
Far from being a culturally disengaged body of musical works, Roberto Gerhard's music is a rich and complex web of cultural references encompassing history, myth, literature, folklore, and contemporary social issues. Don Quixote (1950) exemplifies Gerhard's mature, fully developed style with this emblematic eclecticism.

Tonal And Nontonal Elements In The Recent Chamber Music Of Ned Rorem, Paul Howard Kirby
Tonal And Nontonal Elements In The Recent Chamber Music Of Ned Rorem, Paul Howard Kirby
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The recent (1981-91) chamber music for mixed instrumental ensembles of Ned Rorem demonstrates the use of tonal (or nearly tonal) material in combination with nontonal material (sometimes based freely on a twelve-note row) in such a manner that every composition has clearly identifiable sections (or whole movements) principally generated by each, even though the tonal sections often contain some nontonal elements, while the nontonal sections often borrow elements from tonality. Additionally, some sections (or movements) are balanced throughout between the use of tonal and nontonal elements.
Sonata For Trumpet And Piano, Paul Howard Kirby
Sonata For Trumpet And Piano, Paul Howard Kirby
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This work is a three-movement sonata conceived in the traditional classical forms of sonata-allegro, song, and rondo, but using a greatly broadened definition of tonality. While the movements are rooted in B, E, and B, respectively, the resources employed to establish, maintain, and develop these tonal centers include many other techniques in addition to traditional functional harmony.
