Six Compositions For Elementary Instrumental Music Classes, Roger Louis Woodle

Music ETDs

Need for the materials. For many years the elementary instrumental music classes in the public schools have used primarily only materials of an instructional nature. The principal goal was to prepare the students for the high school band or orchestra. However, more and more music educators are recognizing the need for interesting materials to provide enjoyable musical experiences for the elementary students. Most of the materials that have been published for the elementary classes seem to fall into one of two categories. They are either written very simply with little or no musical value, or if they contain any musical …

Monteverdi: Characteristics Of His Operatic Style, Mallory C. Mcmanus

Graduate Student Research Papers

With this emphasis on textual understanding, opera, as introduced by a group or amateur composers called the Florentine Camerata, was born. These composers wrote in a recitative style for the solo voice. Being amateurs, however, they did not possess the professional musicianship to amplify the textual implications. Therefore, Monteverdi, the trained musician, established many musical innovations still in effect.

A Style Analysis: Bach's Brandenburg Concerto, No. 2 In F Major, Charles Raymond Wallgren

Graduate Student Research Papers

This paper is primarily concerned with one example of Johann Sebastian Bach's instrumental style--the "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2." The style of this work was influenced by the musical resources known to Bach, compositional techniques, and the capabilities of the instruments in the baroque period. The manner in which Bach used these resources and the integrity of what he had to say are evidences of his individual genius.

Puccini's Treatment Of Verismo, Janet M. Ice

Graduate Student Research Papers

The employment of verismo, or realism, in opera did not begin with Puccini; however, his treatment developed the concept to its fullest. Inasmuch as Puccini was one of the foremost composers of his time, a study of his treatment of verismo seems valuable.

Graduate Recital, Alma C. Cook

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The writer, after conferring with his graduate committee, selected a lecture-recital project in partial fulfillment of the requirements for his Master of Science degree in Music Education. As a junior high school instrumental teacher and specialist on the low brass instruments, he was advised by his committee chairman, Professor Max F. Dalby, to also utilize some of his junior high school students on the recital. It was suggested that he play various instruments with them, as well as appropriate solos on his major instruments: euphonium, tenor trombone, and tuba. To show the writer's versatility, it was also suggested that a …

Research On Repertoire Used In Vocal Recital, Drew Van Wagoner

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The selections in the recital given by the candidate can be divided into four sections. The first four songs can claim as their origin in time the early Italian school of the Baroque period. The two selections following these represent the oratorio. The aria by Haydn properly comes from the Class-ical era. The aria from Mendelssohn's oratorio is from the Romantic period, but it is referred to as Classicist-Romanticist, due to different elements of style and technique used by the composer.1 The third part of the recital is composed of art songs, taken from the German Lieder group, the first …

Graduate Wind Instrument Recital, Harold W. Boyce

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Since the end of World War II most teacher-training institutions have reinforced and expanded requirements for graduation in instrumental music education; but the problem still remains of determining the actual training needs of the instrumental music educator and the manner in which these needs can best be fulfilled in the relatively brief period of time available for educating the teacher . It is the responsibility of the music departments of the teacher-training institutions to determine the most practical and efficient courses and projects which will better equip students in instrumental music education for teaching general music classes, performing on their …

Graduate Percussion Recital And A History And Development Of Percussion Instruments And Percussion Music, Ned S. Mortensen

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In today1s public school band the percussion section is often neglected. Some band directors consider the percussion section a place to deposit outcasts. Even though a full, accurate and well-trained percussion section adds polish to a band, few band directors admit its importance. Percussion instruments are seldom recognized as effective solo and ensemble instruments even though both solo and ensemble work can help the percussionist become an accomplished musician.

In this paper, it is proposed to examine the history and development of percussion instruments and percussion music and to thus establish the importance or the percussion section in the public …

Improving Elementary School Singing, P. Annette Hansen

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The problem of helping children to make continual progress in their singing ability has been of particular interest to me because of the experiences I have had in teaching music to third, fifth, and sixth graders. In most cases the children had had few teachers who were trained or experienced in teaching music. In one district there wasn't even a music supervisor to whom teachers could go for help if they felt they needed it.

The problems on which I have done research to write this paper are the ones which have been the most common in my experience. I …

A Descriptive Summary Of Various Band Booster Groups In Southeastern Idaho And A Study Of Their Benefits To The Schools, Melborne Roberts

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Within the last 30 years the music departments in the schools of the Southeastern Idaho areas have grown tremendously. With the mushrooming of the band programs within these music departments many problems appear. They arise primarily from inadequate funds.

In order for the band systems in this area to function properly, the problem of finances must be met by some means other than entirely through the funds allocated by local school boards.

Local boards of education frequently do not have sufficient funds to meet such needs as transportation for band tours and trips to the district and state festivals. Large …
