The revival of a waning moon

Kim, Minpyo 01 May 2011 (has links)
My dissertation is a musical composition for a chamber ensemble of sixteen players, scored for flute and piccolo, oboe, clarinet in Bb, bassoon, horn in F, trumpet in Bb, trombone, percussion (2 players), piano, violin I, violin II, viola, violoncello, and double bass. It is specifically written for the University of Iowa Center for New Music Ensemble, and has been read by the ensemble twice to secure ideas for orchestration. The Revival of a Waning Moon is a single-movement work for approximately 15 minutes. The harmonic content of the work are derived from five hexachords that I labeled H-I through H-V: H-I [013478], H-II [012578], H-III [012468], H-IV [012567], and H-V [012479]. Even though all of the six chords are associated with each other to establish overall harmonic control, only H-II is cultivated for its thematic harmony. The subsets from the H-II, such as the trichord [015] and tetrachord [0157], produce melodic ideas and associates with other harmonies throughout the piece. Metric modulation is utilized between the sections where the rhythmic elements are emphasized. Jajinmori, a Korean traditional rhythmic pattern is employed to describe a Korean folk dance, which is typically performed in the moonlight. Brake drums and gongs are especially used for imitating the sonorities of Korean percussion instruments. Formally the work is comprised of three parts (ABA'). Each part has a few divisional sections, which are connected and incorporates each other in terms of their harmonic elements, but is developed with various rhythmic gestures in different tempi. My personal reception of visual images of the waning phase of the moon, more specifically between the waning crescent and new moon, is mainly a sense of loss, sorrow, loneliness, and anger. Do-Hyang Na (1902-1926), tragically and untimely died at a young age, also describes the waning crescent as an expelled princess and a regrettable widow despite of its beauty in his essay Geu-Meum-Dahl. The visual and poetic imageries provide the emotional background of the piece.

Concerto for Bassoon and Chamber Orchestra

Cooper, Timothy Patrick 01 August 2011 (has links)
The Concerto for Bassoon and Chamber Orchestra is a three-movement composition for solo bassoon accompanied by an ensemble of modest proportions. This piece is composed in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree Master of Music with a concentration in Composition from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The Concerto was composed during the 2010-2011 academic year. This paper provides a narrative analysis of the Concerto in terms of the parameters of its musical content, and relationships thereof. In so doing, references are made to related or influential compositions of the last century in respect to genre, style, form, pitch content, rhythm, and orchestration.

Promethei terra

Heppelmann, Alex James 01 November 2013 (has links)
Promethei Terra is a large, heavily cratered, geographical region in the southern part of Mars. It was named for its noticeable albedo features, which are large areas on a planet marked by a contrast in brightness. While the Greek figure Prometheus is best remembered for the theft of fire, his name has become synonymous with human striving, often at the risk of unintended consequence. Promethei Terra, for chamber orchestra, attempts to musically capture the 'brightness' of the Martian region, as well the endless struggle for knowledge. Reull Vallis is a river-like structure located in the Promethei Terra highlands. Recently, many scientists have come to believe that at some point in the Martian past, water flowed through the Reull Vallis valley. Lineated floor deposits, located in the cliffs of the valley are believed to contain glaciers of water ice. These frozen deposits are all that remain of a possible water-rich Martian past. My work for chamber orchestra navigates through several of the geographical landmarks in the Promethei Terra highlands, including the ancient Reull Vallis river. / text

In Nomine Domini

Crowley, Timothy R. (Timothy Robert) 08 1900 (has links)
In Nomine Domini is an eighteen-minute composition for two chamber orchestras with two soloists using real-time interactive signal processing techniques. The first chamber orchestra is scored for flute (piccolo), English horn, trumpet in C, trombone, two percussionists (cowbells, wood blocks, tenor drum, suspended cymbal, gongs, tam-tam, temple blocks, tambourine, snare drum, timbales, and bass drum), horn in F (soloist), viola, and string bass. The second chamber orchestra is scored for oboe, clarinet in Bb (bass clarinet in Bb), bassoon, tuba, two percussionists (crotales, two marimbas, vibraphone, chimes, and tom-toms), piano (soloist), violin, and cello. Real-time interactive signal processing techniques are achieved through the use of a stereo multiple-effects signal processor and a personal computer running MIDI interactive software. The work is based upon the four-hundred and seventy-five year old in nomine composition tradition begun by John Taverner in the Benedictus of his Mass Gloria tibi Trinitas (1520) and continued in over one-hundred and fifty Renaissance settings. In Nomine Domini consists of three movements: "Taverner* derived from the Benedictus of the Mass Gloria tibi Trinitas (1520), "Byrd" derived from the Benedictus of William Byrd's Five-voice Mass (1592), and "Tye" derived from Christopher lye's In Nomine XIII "Trust" (1578). In Nomine Domini applies the English art of change ringing and three computer-assisted composition techniques: stochastic processes, fractal applications, and conditional probabilities.
