A Senior Honors Recital, Lynn Hoffman
A Senior Honors Recital, Lynn Hoffman
Honors Theses
This paper is an examination of the pieces performed in a senior recital. A good performance cannot be given without a thorough understanding of the works being performed. Behind a finished recital lies not only hours of practice, but also hours of research and analysis.
In analyzing the Scarlatti sonata, I have used Kirkpatrick's terminology in referring to the form of the pieces. William S. Newman, author of The Sonata in the Baroque Era and The Sonata in the Classical Era also refers to Kirkpatrick's terminology.
In referring to specific measures and beats in a piece, I have used two …
John Calvin And Music: The Rise Of Protestant Psalters In The Sixteenth Century, Tim Montgomery
John Calvin And Music: The Rise Of Protestant Psalters In The Sixteenth Century, Tim Montgomery
Honors Theses
John Calvin, born July 10, 1509 in the small town, Noyon, France, was the son of Gerard Calvin, who was the Apostolic Notary of the ecclesiastical court and the secretary of Bishop de Hangest. Calvin's mother, who died when he was young, was noted for her beauty and piety. As a child he went with her on her pilgrimages to view relics and kiss the bleeding wounds of statues. At the age of twelve he received the tonsure and became a chaplain in the Church.
Because the bishop saw that he had a brilliant mind, he arranged for John to …
The Chant-Based Polyphonic Magnificat Of Orlando Di Lasso, Lindsey Peters
The Chant-Based Polyphonic Magnificat Of Orlando Di Lasso, Lindsey Peters
Honors Theses
The polyphonic magnificat, according to Gustave Reese1 one of the most widely used forms of composition during the Renaissance, has received relatively little attention from music scholars. Examples of this genre can be found among the works of nearly every leading composer of the Renaissance. Certain practices are characteristic of the genre. Some are the result of the nature of the chant structure. Others stem from the traditional practices in magnificat composition. I shall discuss several of these characteristics as demonstrated in the works of Orlando di Lasso.

Erik Satie And His Influence On Music In France In The Twentieth Century, Lindsey Peters
Erik Satie And His Influence On Music In France In The Twentieth Century, Lindsey Peters
Honors Theses
In nearly every period in musical history that is marked by dramatic change in thought and composition, there emerge figures whose contribution lies more in the philosophical and aesthetic influence than in the actual music they produced. It was true of the Florentine Camerata, whose influence did not reach musical fruition until Monteverdi. In late nineteenth and early twentieth century France, Erik Satie was a harbinger of directions French music was to take in the next fifty years. Although his music exhibits many advanced techniques, ideas revealed in Satie’s writings and conversations with artists of all media were influential in …
Luther The Musician, Charles L. Hill
Luther The Musician, Charles L. Hill
Honors Theses
The chief contributions of Martin Luther to Western civilization are in the fields of theology and religious reform; but his influence upon, and even his direct contributions to, the development of music also are of considerable importance. Luther has established a place for himself in history as "the great German religious reformer who began the Protestant Reformation" (Brit., 436), but his abilities as a musician are often overlooked. That Luther had a great love for music is clear from a letter which he sent to Ludwig Senfl, the court musician at Munich, on October 4, 1530, in which he says: …
Use Of The Simultaneous Cross-Relation By Sixteenth Century English And Continental Composers, Tim Montgomery
Use Of The Simultaneous Cross-Relation By Sixteenth Century English And Continental Composers, Tim Montgomery
Honors Theses
The principle of the simultaneous cross-relation in vocal music has generally and commonly been associated with the English composers of the sixteenth century. This assumption has been more specifically connected with secular music, namely the English madrigal. To find the validity of this assumption in relation to both secular and sacred music I have compared the available vocal music of three English composers, two major and one minor: Thomas Tallis (1505-1585), William Byrd (1543-1623), and Thomas Whythorne (1528-1596). In deciding whether the simultaneous cross-relation was an aspect of English music exclusively, I examined vocal music of three composers of the …
