Tonality And Drama In Verdi's "La Traviata", David Bradley Easley Jan 2005

Tonality And Drama In Verdi's "La Traviata", David Bradley Easley

LSU Master's Theses

Scholars hold opposing views concerning the importance of large-scale key relations in Verdi's operas. Julian Budden states that, since Verdi often allowed transpositions of his music in performance, one must take care in assigning structural importance to Verdi's key schemes. Others, including David Lawton, place much significance on Verdi's choice of keys. Lawton describes methods by which Verdi intensifies dramatic situations through associative tonality and recurring musical themes. In La Traviata, several recurring musical themes undergo transposition, a device that Wagner scholar Robert Bailey calls expressive tonality, which is the repetition or recall of a passage transposed by semitone …

Rhetoric, Form, And Sovereignty In Schubert's "Prometheus," D. 674, Erica Brady Angert Jan 2005

Rhetoric, Form, And Sovereignty In Schubert's "Prometheus," D. 674, Erica Brady Angert

LSU Master's Theses

Franz Schubert's "Prometheus," D. 674 (1819), sets a free-verse dramatic monologue by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in which Prometheus, the Titan who presented fire and hope to mankind, declares himself independent from Zeus. This song belongs to a small group of Schubert's Lieder that resemble scenes from operas more than tonally-closed art songs. The paper discusses some of Schubert's compositional influences in the vocal genre, including Johann Friedrich Reichardt, who composed an earlier setting of the same "Prometheus" text. This paper explores the rhetorical structure of Goethe's text, which follows Quintilian's model for an effective argument, and which Schubert punctuates …

Preface: Sound Scripts: A Word From Tura New Music, Tos Mahoney Jan 2005

Preface: Sound Scripts: A Word From Tura New Music, Tos Mahoney

Sound Scripts

The Inaugural Totally Huge New Music Festival Conference was a bold initiative by its partner presenters Tura New Music and the Faculty of Communications and Creative Industries, Edith Cowan University, Perth, including the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. In an arts milieu which is increasingly becoming “industrialised” and the dollar the bottom line criteria for success, it is reassuring to have the confirmation that there are those—in fact there is a strong cohort—who are dedicated to delving the depths of the meaning of their own and others’ practice.

Rice And Celery (Toglen), Domenico De Clario Jan 2005

Rice And Celery (Toglen), Domenico De Clario

Sound Scripts

Berenice is the name of the last of fifty five imaginary cities that Marco Polo describes to Kublai Khan. These descriptions and further dialogues between Marco and the Khan constitute the substance of Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities". The just in Berenice constitute a secret society, recognizing each other through the pronunciation of certain words (especially commas, parenthesis and the space between things) and through their simple diet of broad beans, zucchini flowers, rice and soup. In recent projects I have been examining the idea that evidence of the existence of a single and independent fixed self cannot seem to be …

The Compositional Style Of Judith Lang Zaimont As Found In Nattens Monolog (Night Solilquy), Scena For Soprano Voice And Piano With Text By Dag Hammarskjöld, Joo Won Jun

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

American composer, Judith Lang Zaimont (b. 1945), has composed a considerable number of solo vocal works as well as multiple works encompassing a variety of genres. Zaimont's Nattens Monolog (Night Soliloquy), scena for soprano and piano, is one of several lengthy solo vocal works. Although written for solo voice, the music takes on the form of opera without operatic materials such as costume or staging. Commissioned by Arleen Auger, soprano, and Dalton Baldwin, pianist, Nattens Monolog was composed in 1984 and first performed by them at Lincoln Center in March of 1985. The primary focus of this paper will be …

Dragos Tanasescu's Treaties Of Pianistic Technique, Lucian B. Zidaru Jan 2005

Dragos Tanasescu's Treaties Of Pianistic Technique, Lucian B. Zidaru

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This study examines Dragos Tanasescu's fingering system and technical exercises presented in Treatise of Pianistic Technique. The Treatise contains four books, each one dedicated to a segment of technical problems. Tanasescu's main contribution to the piano technique is the applications of math permutation formulas to create all possible arrangements of fingering patterns. His treatise continues previous technical approaches of A. Kullak, F. Liszt, J. Pischna and E. Dohnanyi. Earlier methods organize the technical material by one principle: fingerings. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the characteristics of Tanasescu's fingering system presented in Treatise of Pianistic Technique, and provide …

An Introduction To The Life And A Cappella Music Of Sven-David Sandström And A Conductor's Prepatory Guide To Etyd Nr 4, Som I E-Moll And Laudamus Te, Karl Erik Nelson Jan 2005

An Introduction To The Life And A Cappella Music Of Sven-David Sandström And A Conductor's Prepatory Guide To Etyd Nr 4, Som I E-Moll And Laudamus Te, Karl Erik Nelson

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The choral literature of Sven-David Sandström has become standard literature for many choirs in Scandanavia, but has been given very little attention in English publications. His neo-romantic style uses dense harmonies and madrigalisms to portray the texts while remaining faithful to traditional formal structures. The purpose of this monograph is to offer comprehensive insight into some of his music. This document focuses on the development of music in the life of Sven-David Sandström with particular attention given to his compositions, Etyd nr 4, som i e-moll and Laudamus Te. In chapter one, Sven-David Sandström’s influences, philosophies, and compositional styles are …

A Conductor's Study Of Villa-Lobos's Magnificat-Alleluia And Bendita Sabedoria, Hoffmann Urquiza Pereira

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Heitor Villa-Lobos is one of the most important names in South American music and probably the most important name in Brazilian music. His musical output includes symphonies, symphonic poems, operas, chamber music, concertos, and choral music, among other genres. His choral music output is significant and includes pieces in which the chorus seems to be used for color and rhythm in a primarily instrumental texture, educational music, folk and secular pieces, large scale choral pieces, and sacred music. This document provides a brief survey of his choral music and a conductor's study of his last two choral works, Bendita Sabedoria …

Selected Intermediate-Level Solo Piano Music Of Enrique Granados: A Pedagogical Analysis, Harumi Kurihara Jan 2005

Selected Intermediate-Level Solo Piano Music Of Enrique Granados: A Pedagogical Analysis, Harumi Kurihara

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Enrique Granados (1867- 1916) is one of the most important Spanish composers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He achieved a significant musical career as a pianist, a composer, and a teacher. Among his large compositional output, his main interest was music for the piano. Although Granados’s piano works are generally regarded as very difficult, based on his well-known piano suite, Goyescas, he in fact wrote a number of intermediate-level solo piano pieces. Sadly, they have been a neglected area of piano literature. In fact, their variety of musical styles and singable melodies make them appealing pieces for students. They …

Erik Satie's Ballet Parade: An Arrangement For Woodwind Quintet And Percussion With Historical Summary, Tracy A. Doyle Jan 2005

Erik Satie's Ballet Parade: An Arrangement For Woodwind Quintet And Percussion With Historical Summary, Tracy A. Doyle

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Erik Satie's ballet Parade was a historical collaboration between several of the leading artistic minds of the early twentieth century: Erik Satie, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Léonide Massine, and Serge Diaghilev. Satie's writing for winds and percussion lends itself to an arrangement for woodwind quintet and percussion; an arrangement that keeps the spirit and essence of the work intact. This study includes a historical summary of the ballet Parade and an arrangement of the music from the ballet for woodwind quintet and percussion.

A Conductor's Analysis Of Amaral Vieira's Stabat Mater, Op.240: An Approach Between Music And Rhetoric, Vladimir A. Pereira Silva Jan 2005

A Conductor's Analysis Of Amaral Vieira's Stabat Mater, Op.240: An Approach Between Music And Rhetoric, Vladimir A. Pereira Silva

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Choral music is one of the most common musical activities in Brazil. However, the lack of biographical studies, music publication, and theoretical works which discuss stylistic and interpretative aspects of choral performance creates problems for conductors. The primary goal of this study is to consider Amaral Vieira’s Stabat Mater, op. 240 specifically from a conductor’s point of view, focusing on biographical, analytical, stylistic, and interpretative issues. The document is divided into three chapters; chapter one discusses twentieth-century Brazilian choral music, Amaral Vieira’s life and music, history and overview of the Stabat Mater, op. 240, and textual aspects. Chapter two presents …

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The dissertation is in two parts. The first part is a musical composition in one movement for orchestra, La Cosecha (The Harvest), based on the Maya Zodiac. The second part is a semiotic analysis of selected Puerto Rican folk music that will conclude that a rhythmic structure organizes all these musical forms in a coherent manner. The composition has thirteen sections each representing a figure of the zodiac. Each figure has a main rhythmic pattern and a chord that it is rotated to create unity among the distinctive chords. The first half represents the dry season and the second the …

Chorale And Canon In Alfred Schnittke's Fourth String Quartet, Aaminah Durrani Jan 2005

Chorale And Canon In Alfred Schnittke's Fourth String Quartet, Aaminah Durrani

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Alfred Schnittke's String Quartet No. 4 (1989) is a passionate essay, full of fervor and anguish expressed through an eloquent and highly refined style. Essential to this style are the counterpoised textures of chorale and canon. Not only does the coherence of the Quartet's expansive formal design rest largely on the effective deployment of chorale and canon, but these devices are the very engines that drive Schnittke's musical argument. Perhaps the most stunning event of the Fourth Quartet occurs in the finale. In the closing moments of this long work, Schnittke replaces the dissonant and dynamic fury of the fortissimo …
