A Taxonomy Of The Effects And Affects Of Surface-Level Metric Dissonance, Jennifer Rae Shirley Jan 2007

A Taxonomy Of The Effects And Affects Of Surface-Level Metric Dissonance, Jennifer Rae Shirley

LSU Master's Theses

In his book, Fantasy Pieces, Harald Krebs presents a taxonomy of metric dissonance that lays a foundation for further study. The system that Krebs presents leaves ample opportunity to answer the following questions: Do metric dissonances that are labeled the same way have the same function in their musical context? What is the role of listening in the categorization of metric dissonance? While many theorists, including Richard Cohn, Walter Frisch, and Yonatan Malin, have provided valuable insights to the realm of metric dissonance, their work focuses mainly on hypermeter, large-scale formal implications, or specific analyses. In light of the above …

Intercultural Music Education: The Moral Ethics Of Cultural Educational Exchange, Mary Cummings Jan 2007

Intercultural Music Education: The Moral Ethics Of Cultural Educational Exchange, Mary Cummings

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

It is important when considering a position as a music educator within a non-Western society to examine the political, social and religious influences that are present in music in order to assist in alleviating the tensions and dangers that such an introduction may create within a culture. Once these issues are understood, it is clear to see that a system of intercultural exchange instead of Western globalization would benefit both teacher and student while still maintaining cultural integrity. The advantage of such an approach would break down cultural barriers, preserve the existing culture, and provide a Christian educator with a …

The Apologia Of Franchino Gafurio: A Critical Edition And Translation, Patrick Joseph Kaufman Jan 2007

The Apologia Of Franchino Gafurio: A Critical Edition And Translation, Patrick Joseph Kaufman

LSU Master's Theses

Franchino Gafurio’s Apologia (Turin, 1520) is one musical treatise in a series of works that constituted the famous “pamphlet war” between he and Giovanni Spataro. The dispute originated with the publication of Bartholomeo Ramis de Pareia’s Musica practica (Bologna, 1482). Unconventional and unapologetically critical, Ramis rejected venerated musical traditions in an attempt to align music theory with contemporary music practice. He opposed the Pythagorean division of the monochord and Guidonian solmization syllables, and instead proposed a division which produced pure thirds, and a solmization system based on the octave. His iconoclastic proposals and his highly sarcastic tone called forth a …

Song Of The Holy Ground (Score), Gary Smart Jan 2007

Song Of The Holy Ground (Score), Gary Smart

Music Faculty Research and Scholarship

“Song of the Holy Ground” for piano and string quartet was written in reaction to an Apache chant recorded in 1953 by musicologist John Donald Robb. The original recording, sung by a young girl, is clear, delicate and charming at first hearing. The text itself is unknown to me, beyond the fact that this is a song of consecration, a blessing. But the music of the chant is enchanting, with its uniquely expressive melodic shapes and its asymmetrical rhythms.

In approaching this material I first made a detailed transcription of the chant and became fascinated with the intricacy of the …

Electronic Music Compositional Techniques In Instrumental Music: A Study Of Effect In Helmut Lachenmann's 'Pression', Lisa James Jan 2007

Electronic Music Compositional Techniques In Instrumental Music: A Study Of Effect In Helmut Lachenmann's 'Pression', Lisa James

Theses : Honours

The ability of new technologies of the early twentieth century to record, copy and manipulate music has permanently changed many of the basic conceptions of musical structure that have held true for centuries. With the development of musique concrete in France (1948) and elektronische musik in Germany (1951), traditional compositional elements of classical music such as melody, harmony and rhythm, which had survived even the drastic revolutions of the serial composers, began to take a secondary role to new structural and developmental techniques. Although there have been many technological and musical advances in the field of electronic music since these …

Judith Weir's King Harald's Saga: Innovations Of Character And Virtuosity In Contemporary Opera, Kelly Fiona Lynch Jan 2007

Judith Weir's King Harald's Saga: Innovations Of Character And Virtuosity In Contemporary Opera, Kelly Fiona Lynch

LSU Major Papers

In 1979, Scottish-born composer Judith Weir wrote King Harald’s Saga for the soprano Jane Manning. Although an opera in three acts, the cast consists of one performer unaccompanied, interpreting various characters, including the protagonist, King Harald, two of his wives, and the entire Norwegian Army. The opera presented in its entirety is ten minutes in duration. The scope of this paper is intended to assist the performer as well as those who are interested in contemporary opera. I have provided a brief overview of Weir’s compositional style in opera, chamber opera and song. As King Harald’s Saga was Weir’s first …

A Performer's Guide To Ross Lee Finney's Song Cycle Chamber Music, Joseph Charles Perniciaro Jan 2007

A Performer's Guide To Ross Lee Finney's Song Cycle Chamber Music, Joseph Charles Perniciaro

LSU Major Papers

Ross Lee Finney (1906-1997), significant American composer and pedagogue, published five works for solo voice and piano within his catalogue of genres and styles. Though composed in 1951, Finney’s setting of Chamber Music, to James Joyce’s texts by the same title, remained unpublished until 1985. This song cycle, Finney’s last published solo vocal work, will be the focus of this document and subsequent lecture recital. The purpose of this study will be to examine seventeen of the thirty-six songs from the cycle and provide performance suggestions. The written document is comprised of five chapters: Chapter One provides biographical information and …

Inside Story: An Arts-Based Exploration Of The Creative Process Of The Storyteller As Leader, Heather Forest Jan 2007

Inside Story: An Arts-Based Exploration Of The Creative Process Of The Storyteller As Leader, Heather Forest

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Storytelling is one of humanity's oldest art forms and an enduring educational method. Stories can spark social change. Although storytelling is tacitly recognized in diverse social science domains as a communication medium used to powerfully transmit leadership vision and ideas, little empirical research has been reported about how a teller constructs and tells a story. Through qualitative, arts-based methods, this heuristic study examines and describes the lived experience of a storyteller composing and performing a tale on issues of peace, justice, and social change. It reflects on the teller as leader and identifies a palette of arts-based skills for change …

John Mackey: The Composer, His Compositional Style And A Conductor's Analysis Of Redline Tango And Turbine, Rebecca L. Phillips Jan 2007

John Mackey: The Composer, His Compositional Style And A Conductor's Analysis Of Redline Tango And Turbine, Rebecca L. Phillips

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this monograph is to present the first formal analysis of John Mackey and his music. Through substantive firsthand interaction with the composer, this document details Mackey’s unique compositional development through computer-based learning and includes a conductor’s analysis of Redline Tango and Turbine. Mackey’s compositional style includes simplistic forms using melodies and harmonies that do not readily demonstrate the difficulties conductors and performers may find within his well-crafted compositions. Mackey’s work emphasizes the element of rhythm and his orchestration typically utilizes the conventional instrumentation for wind ensemble with prominence placed on percussion. Redline Tango has been awarded two …

Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem: Dialectic And The Chromatic Middleground, Patrick Tuck Jan 2007

Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem: Dialectic And The Chromatic Middleground, Patrick Tuck

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem (1868) has been the focus of much scholarly research. The present study focuses specifically on the work’s dialectic: the presentation and resolution of a conflict between mortal suffering and eternal joy. It takes an Schenkerian approach to the tonal content of the piece, which provides a musical reflection of the human spiritual journey to the afterlife. It examines how Brahms brings his chosen texts to life with the aid of musical processes such as mixture, register transfer, coupling, covering lines, and contrasting textures. The present study will cite previous authors who have noted the opposing forces …

[Introduction To] The Original Hot Five Recordings Of Louis Armstrong, Gene H. Anderson Jan 2007

[Introduction To] The Original Hot Five Recordings Of Louis Armstrong, Gene H. Anderson

Bookshelf

Between 1925 and 1928, the Hot Five, the incomparable Louis Armstrong and four seasoned practitioners of the burgeoning jazz style recorded fifty-five performances in Chicago for the OKeh label. Oddly enough, the quintet immortalized on vinyl with recent technology rarely performed as a unit in local nightspots. And yet, like other music now regarded as especially historic, their work in the studio summarized approaches of the past and set standards for the future.

Remarkable both for popularity among the members of the public and for influence on contemporary musicians, these recordings helped make "Satchmo" a familiar household name and ultimately …
