Display

Halloran, Donald C. 08 1900 (has links)
Display is a four-movement work for twenty-two instrumentalists, five singers, and a prepared tape. As the title implies, the composition is, in fact, a studied display, of numerous compositional and performance procedures, techniques, and effects. The performers must be of virtuoso caliber, and in some cases will need to know special techniques to produce some of the required effects.

Movement for Orchestra

Powell, Morgan, 1938- 08 1900 (has links)
The form of the movement is as follows: Slow introduction; forceful theme "A"; lyrical theme "B"; bridge between second theme and development section; development of theme "B"; another bridge developed from a fragment introduced immediately preceding the bridge which is used for a climax before theme "C" is introduced and developed. with the end of the development of theme "C", the development section ends, and thus begins the recapitulation of themes "B" and "A" in that order with little variation in either from that of the exposition. Theme "C", since it played such an integral part in the development section, is not brought back in the recapitulation.

The Cycle of Life Symphony

Dean, Lynn C. 05 1900 (has links)
This symphony is a representation of the composer's philosophy of life, which includes a belief in a pre-existent life (Beginnings), a mortal life (Searchings and Wanderings), and a life after death (Return Home). Three out of four of the cyclic elements in the Symphony are symbolic. Theme one represents the influence for good which emanates from a living God; motive one represents the influence for evil, or the Devil; motive two represents the influence of Christ. All three of these influences were present in the pre-existence, they are present in earth life and in the life after death, where good will ultimately triumph over evil. Motive three is found in both first and third movements, but has no symbolic meaning.

Hegira

Whisenhunt, William O. 05 1900 (has links)
Hegira is a work for full orchestra making use of piano as well as an augmented percussion section. The title, taken from Mohammed's flight to Mecca in 622 A.D., did suggest certain directions during the compositional process, but it does not imply a specific program for the music. The compositional process employed many techniques, including thematic transformation, serialization, rotation, contrapuntal textures, as well as the intuitive juxtaposition of material.
