Constructing an Architectural Model of Music - A Comparative Study of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Van Alen's Chrysler Building

Galganski, Michael, 0000-0003-2462-2683 08 1900 (has links)
This dissertation introduces a methodic approach for constructing an architectural model of music, particularly when derived from connections between Beethoven’s renowned Ninth Symphony and New York’s celebrated Chrysler Building. Starting with a historical critique of non-systematic, or cursory surveys between the subjects of music and architecture, the author proceeds into a unique theory of art, which proposes that creative vehicles are inhabited by a kind of inspired genius. The study subsequently introduces sculpture as a “mediator” between our two main art-forms under discussion, and one that serves as an aid when embodying their associated concepts. The author then employs systematic terminology, or “spectrums” in parallel between these formal expressions, while simultaneously assembling the “Complex Array” for the mechanics of tonality in music. When applying this manner of analysis to William Van Alen’s Art Deco masterpiece and the famous romantic Symphony, a visual profile is lent to the catalog of music theory, alongside a harmonic interpretation of architecture, before concluding with how these artistic subjects are significantly distinguished from one another. / Music Theory
