From Cathedral To Concert Hall: The Evolution Of The Requiem Mass, Thomas Butler
From Cathedral To Concert Hall: The Evolution Of The Requiem Mass, Thomas Butler
Student Scholar Symposium
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine – Grant them eternal rest, Lord. These five words make up one of the most well-known texts in the classical music canon: the Requiem Mass. Built on foundations laid by church composers such as Machaut, Dufay, and Palestrina, eighteenth and nineteenth century giants like Mozart, Berlioz, Verdi, and Brahms popularized the Requiem setting as a concert work. The twentieth and twenty-first centuries have seen compositions by Benjamin Britten, Gabriela Frank, and others, which include narrative elements in conjunction with the traditional Latin texts. My research on this topic explores how and why the Requiem Mass …

Weber's Clarinet Concertino Opus 26, Cadence A. Graves
ATU Scholars Symposium
As a professional musician, it is important that one does not simply learn the notes and rhythms in a piece of music, but also the history surrounding it and its composer. There is much to learn about a piece of music and how it may be performed from original scores, performance history, and knowledge of the composer and the time period in which it was written. This lecture recital aims to open eyes to the amount of relevant knowledge one can gain from researching a piece of music’s composer, setting, and the importance of doing this research. This presentation will …

A Brain-Friendly Approach To Music Literacy, Taylor Davis
A Brain-Friendly Approach To Music Literacy, Taylor Davis
Posters-at-the-Capitol
The purpose of this study was to explore how the brain processes information, stores it in long-term memory and then applies that knowledge to teaching music in a classroom/rehearsal setting. We observed how the working memory, the system responsible for processing information from short-term and long-term memory can function with greater efficiency. We observed how the number of items available for processing in the working memory may be increased through a process identified as “chunking.” Chunking is when short patterns, or bits of information, are combined to form longer sequences. When applying these brain-friendly learning concepts to music, the instructor …

Breathing Exercises For Every Musician: A Compilation Of Breathing Exercises For Beginner Wind Players, Taylor Johnston
Breathing Exercises For Every Musician: A Compilation Of Breathing Exercises For Beginner Wind Players, Taylor Johnston
Undergraduate Research Conference
Methodology: As a 6th grade band student, I always had difficulty taking in enough air to play my flute. I was always told to take in a deep breath, but never taught how to do so. Breathing can be overlooked in the beginner band classroom, so I decided to do some research and make a compilation of different exercises that all musicians can do.
Achieving And Maintaining Flow During Practice And Performance, Jenna Klein
Achieving And Maintaining Flow During Practice And Performance, Jenna Klein
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
Flow, also referred to as being “in the zone,” is a state of total absorption in an activity where an individual’s risk and skill are in balance. This mental state is sought after by many musicians for its positive effect on performance. Flow has been described as leading to a loss of self-awareness, changes in the perception of time, the ability to play effortlessly, a sense of calm, and confidence. Flow is characterized by changes in brain function. Complete, undistracted concentration on one activity allows the left, more analytical side of the brain to rest, while the right, more creative …

A Survey Of Choral Ensemble Memorization Techniques, Margaret A. Alley
A Survey Of Choral Ensemble Memorization Techniques, Margaret A. Alley
Phi Kappa Phi Research Symposium (Archived)
Choral ensembles memorize music for concerts and other performances. Previous research in memorizing musical material is mostly anecdotal and primarily applied to individual instrumentalists. Research in choral memorization is nonexistent. This study aimed to systematically find out what memorization techniques are used in choral ensemble settings and to examine them based on existing literature in music memorizing. A survey was sent to choral directors and teachers in Southeast Georgia, collecting data on whether or not choral ensembles memorize their music and why, specific memorization techniques, and the aspects of memorization that present challenges for ensemble members. Fourteen choral directors and …
