Bachata By Gail Kubik Transcribed For Wind Ensemble, Harry Leonard Hansen

Music ETDs

One of the pressing problems in public education today is to find ways to meet individual differences in students. Music education is no exception and, indeed, here the problem may be more acute because of group performance. Thus the instrumental teacher must constantly search to find music in such form as to be readily usable by his group.

History ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to present an account of the endeavors of Carlos Chávez to reveal Mexican nationalism through music. The study begins with a brief survey of Mexico's history with emphasis upon the presence of caciquismo and caudillismo. Politically, Mexican nationalism is a blend of the dynastic nationalism of sixteenth century Spain and the popular nationalism of the late eighteenth century.
