Pedagogical Use of Plainchant for Trombone: Its Application in Legato Studies and Ensemble Playing

Hinman, Daniel 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this research is to explore the benefits of chant music and its pedagogical applications for the individual trombonist or ensemble member. Several common method books are examined and categorized as either musical exercise or lyrical etude. Through this analysis I highlight a gap between the two method types that can be bridged through practice of chant. I support this claim through an analysis of chant characteristics that make it an ideal candidate to encourage pure sound production and connection in a performable work. Practice of chant in trombone chamber or choir ensembles will also encourage the development of skills necessary to play as a member of a group. I propose regular practice of this music will aid the ensemble in blend and balance, intonation, articulation, and slide coordination. The final chapter of the research provides the reader with a brief summary of the works refenced to promote further study as one chooses.

Adam von Fulda on musica plana and compositio : De musica, book II : a translation and commentary

Slemon, Peter John 05 1900 (has links)
Adam von Fulda, German musician, composer and teacher, completed his important treatise on music in 1490. While representing a conservative, northern tradition in late-medieval music theory, it also shows some evidence of humanist influence. The treatise is divided into four books which discuss the origins and uses of music, the theory of plainchant, mensuration and notation of rhythm, and proportions, respectively. Thus, throughout this informative work, Adam mixes the practical with the speculative. Although his style of explaining technical matters is clear and succinct, he also engages the reader's interest with his polemical and rhetorical digressions. This dissertation presents a detailed commentary upon Book II of the treatise, on musica plana (plainchant), accompanied by a translation from the Latin. The first two chapters of the dissertation are concerned with the biographical information available on Adam von Fulda, as well as with the format and transmission of the treatise. Three chapters of the dissertation serve as the commentary. Chapter III discusses Adam's treatment of the practical aspects of singing plainchant, including his discussions of the Guidonian hand, the gamut, the naming of pitches, hexachords and mutation (material covered in Chapters 1 to 6 of the treatise's second book). Chapter IV of the dissertation considers the subject of musical intervals as covered by Adam, and the ten rules of composition provided in his Chapters 7 to 12. These rules are perhaps the most interesting and unusual part of Book II, as they go beyond the stated subject of plainchant. Written composition, not just improvised counterpoint, is treated in a manner that anticipates later humanist regard for music as an art. Finally, Chapter V examines Adam's treatment of the modes of plainchant (discussed in his Chapters 13 to 17). A conclusion summarizes Adam's impact on later theorists and the importance of the treatise.

La réforme musicale de saint Bernard: ses sources et ses enjeux

Scarcez, Alicia 03 December 2012 (has links)
La thèse exploite, pour la première fois, d’exceptionnels manuscrits de l’office cistercien. Comprenant la liturgie cistercienne d’origine messine copiée vers 1136/1140, ces documents ont servi, quelques années plus tard, de brouillons à la réforme liturgique et musicale de Bernard de Clairvaux. Ils ont été partiellement biffés et grattés de façon à correspondre aux nouvelles normes cisterciennes.<p>La principale liasse d’épreuves bernardines, constituée des quelque 185 folios de l’antiphonaire 12A-B de Westmalle, constitue le socle de la thèse et la matière du tableau liturgique général présenté dans l’annexe 3. Cette table distingue les pièces de première main de celles écrites par les correcteurs bernardins. Les autres épreuves, l’antiphonaire 6 de Tamié (Savoie) et les fragments de la Fille-Dieu (Suisse), ont été reproduites dans l’annexe 2. Avec les folios de Westmalle 12A-B, elles sont les seules à conserver une part importante des mélodies originelles, à révéler les corrections et les procédures bernardines. Les analyses codicologique et paléographique des documents, mises en relation avec les données historiques, ont permis de dégager deux phases de corrections et de situer l’achèvement de la réforme bernardine, vraisemblablement à Hautcrêt vers 1143.<p>Le répertoire de l’hymnaire a été revu (chapitre IV) et celui de la messe, réexaminé à la lumière des reliquats du premier graduel cistercien, jusqu’ici inexploités. Ces bribes intactes ont été confrontées aux équivalents de la deuxième réforme et ouvrent (chapitre III) l’étude comparative des chants de l’office du premier et du deuxième Cîteaux (chapitres VII à X). <p>Au fil de l’analyse, des échantillons tirés du graduel ou de l’antiphonaire sont présentés dans les tableaux synoptiques rassemblés dans l’annexe 1. Chacun d’entre eux comprend, quand c’est possible, la première version cistercienne originelle reconstituée, la version bernardine et, selon les besoins, un panel plus ou moins important de référents grégoriens (décrits au chapitre VI), destinés à replacer chaque liturgie cistercienne dans son contexte culturel et à en établir les sources. <p>Ce travail tend à modifier l’image de la réforme bernardine, censée avoir appauvri la tradition grégorienne par l’application stricte des règles musicales. Elle montre que de nombreuses pièces introduites par les correcteurs sont issues de la tradition clunisienne et parfois spécifiquement de la tradition de l’abbaye de Molesme d’où sont issus les pères fondateurs de Cîteaux. Les reliquats de la liturgie molesmienne notée, reproduits en fac-similé (annexes 2) et inconnus jusqu’ici, ont permis d’établir l’existence d’une chaîne de tradition musicale reliant Molesme aux monastères de sa tradition (Montier-la-Celle et Marmoutier) ;et de faire ressortir les liens qui unissent la tradition des premiers moines blancs à de nombreuses corrections bernardines. L’examen du bréviaire Paris 3241, sorti de l’anonymat en 2007 et exploité ici pour la première fois, a en particulier permis de conclure au transfert de pièces et formulaires entiers de la tradition molesmienne vers le deuxième Cîteaux. <p>Bien plus que la théorie musicale, réputée si importante, mais en réalité modérément appliquée, ce sont la raison pratique, le souci de l’authenticité et de la bonne articulation du texte latin, l’esthétique et la culture mélodique du terroir bourguignon qui ont guidé les choix des réformateurs bernardins. La liturgie messine, adoptée à Cîteaux entre 1108 et 1143, était porteuse de variantes dialectales que les Bernardins ont abandonnées pour se réapproprier leur patrimoine ancestral, marqué par des segments musicaux expressifs et des idiomes caractéristiques du domaine latin. <p>L’interprétation musicale de spécimens du premier et du deuxième Cîteaux, mis en regard, illustre ce basculement culturel de l’ensemble liturgique « est » vers celui de l’« ouest ». La pochette musicale comprend aussi quelques unica et emprunts traditionnels ciblés qui illustrent la richesse de l’esthétique du deuxième Cîteaux.<p> / Doctorat en Langues et lettres / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Gregorian Chant in the Organ Symphonies of Widor and Dupré, a Lecture Recital, Together With Three Recitals of Selected Works of J. S. Bach, S. Barber, A. Bruckner, F. Couperin, M. Dupré, M. Duruflé, C. Franck, W. A. Mozart, O. Messiaen, J. Pachelbel, M. Reger, and Others

Thomas, Paul Lindsley 05 1900 (has links)
The lecture recital was given on November 20, 1979. The final movement of Widor's Symphonie Gothique, opus 70, the first movement of Widor's Symphonie Romane, opus 73, and the first movement of Dupré's Symphonie-Passion, opus 23 were performed following a lecture on Gregorian Chant in the organ symphonies of Widor and Dupré. The lecture included a brief historical discussion of the decline of organ literature following the French Classical School, the development of the Modern French Organ School beginning with the establishment of the organ department at the Paris Conservatory, the revival of plainsong and the establishment of the School of Solesmes, and the influence of César Franck and the organ symphony. The main body of the lecture included biographical sketches of Widor and Dupré, a discussion of the general characteristics of their organ symphonies, with the emphasis upon those movements specifically employing the use of Gregorian chant.
