Seu objetivo principal foi realizar um estudo analítico e um mapeamento histórico da peça a fim de proporcionar ao intérprete uma maior intimidade com a obra a ser executada. A metodologia divide-se em duas partes: estudo do contexto histórico sob o qual a obra foi criada e o estudo analítico da obra musical e do seu estilo através da análise da partitura. O estudo do contexto histórico foi realizado a partir de trabalhos que enfocam a biografia sobre o compositor, a revisão da literatura sobre sua obra e de trabalhos que abordam a história da música no Brasil. O estudo analítico teve como referência o trabalho de Jan LaRue (1998) que enfoca o estilo musical através de um estudo descritivo dos elementos musicais que compõem a peça. As sugestões de execução para o pianista, que se encontram no decorrer do texto de estudo analítico, abordam aspectos relacionados à utilização dos pedais, à equalização sonora e às questões técnico-motoras. Na conclusão foi evidenciado como o compositor relacionou elementos dodecafônico-seriais de composição com elementos rítmicos brasileiros e também em quais aspectos o estudo analítico contribuiu diretamente para a execução pianística. Os resultados demonstraram que Variações Rítmicas opus 15 é uma peça que foi claramente influenciada pelo entorno cultural vivido pelo compositor no início dos anos 1960 e, apesar de ser uma peça de juventude, apresenta traços marcantes do estilo composicional de Marlos Nobre como a técnica de variação contínua e o uso de elementos nacionais / Abstract: The historical study was based on the literature concerning the This dissertation deals with the composition Variações Rítmicas opus 15 para piano e percussão típica brasileira [Rhythmic Variations Opus 15 for Piano and Typical- Brazilian Percussion] by Marlos Nobre. Its main objective is to provide an analytical and historical study thus giving the interpreter more detailed knowledge of the piece for performance. The methodology adopted is divided in two parts: a study of the historical context in which the piece was composed and an analytical study of its style through an analysis of the score. composer's biography and his musical output, as well as the music historical context of Brazil. The analytical study is based mainly on the work of Jan LaRue (1998) which focuses on musical style through a descriptive approach of the musical elements that make up the composition. Suggestions of e xecution for the pianist, provided throughout the analytical study, deal with aspects related to pedaling, voicing and technical - motor issues. The conclusion demonstrates how the composer relates twelve - tone serialism to Brazilian rhythmic elements and also in which ways the analytical study contributes directly to the performance of the piano part. The results demonstrate that the Variações Ritmicas Opus 15 is a composition clearly influenced by the cultural environment lived by the composer in the beginning of the 1960's, and although it is a work from his youth, it still presents striking traces of Marlos Nobre's compostional style such as continuous variation and the use of nationalist elements / Mestrado / Praticas Interpretativas / Mestre em Música

Dessa forma, propõe o estudo do ritmo e da interpretação do samba a partir de estudos e peças de caixa. O trabalho composicional é orientado por conceitos já desenvolvidos pela musicologia sobre a performance do samba em diálogo com os dados levantados pelo autor através das entrevistas aos sambistas cariocas, das transcrições e das experiências musicais vivenciadas pelo próprio pesquisador durante o processo de pesquisa. Ao final do trabalho os estudos e as peças relacionadas têm como principal objetivo explorar a forma de desenvolvimento fraseológico, de "manulação" dos toques e de exploração dos timbres da caixa a partir dos aspectos idiomáticos dos instrumentos de percussão característicos do samba / Abstract: This work starts from the initial understanding that the study of the snare drum is the foundation of the drum study. Thus, we propose the study of the rhythm and interpretation of samba by studies and pieces of snare drum. The compositional work is guided by concepts already developed by musicology on the performance of samba in dialogue with the data gathered by the author through interviews with carioca samba players, the transcriptions and the musical pratice experienced by the researcher during the research process. At the end of the work, studies and related pieces has as the main goals to explore the development of the phrasing, the sticking and the exploration of tones on the snare drum based on the idiomatic aspects of the samba characteristic instruments of percussion / Mestrado / Praticas Interpretativas / Mestre em Música

An expansive repertoire of original chamber works is available for ensembles comprised of saxophone, wind and percussion instruments. Many musicians, including saxophonists and conductors, are unaware of this enormous body of literature. This produces a compelling need for sources of identification available to conductors, performers and teachers. This study begins to provide such a source through the presentation of selected works and the accompanying annotated bibliography. The lack of awareness of available scores for chamber music with saxophone, winds and percussion among conductors and many performers often contributes to the absence of these works in concert halls. The objective of this lecture-recital document is to make available a tool that includes only original works for the saxophone in a variety of chamber ensemble settings. The nature of this study will be descriptive. The literature chosen for this project reveals varying levels of performance difficulty, compositional techniques, form, and instrumentation. Chosen works employ an ensemble size that requires a conductor or are more successfully performed with a conductor. Selected compositions are illustrated in which the saxophone is identified as a vital ingredient in an already existing repertoire of serious chamber literature. Works in this study include original compositions using from seven to seventeen musicians. Some of the works discussed in this study include double bass and piano. Chapters include information on the Parameters of Study (Introduction, Historical Perspective, Sources, Criteria, Selection of Works for Analysis), composer Jean Françaix, a Historical Overview and Detailed Study of Danses Exotiques, composer Fisher Tull, a Historical Overview and Detailed Study of Nonet and an Annotated Bibliography of compositions matching the established criteria. Appendices include List of Works of Fisher Tull and Jean Françaix.

The purpose of this study is to examine the various signatures of compositional style as manifested in the keyboard percussion trios Rain Tree by Toru Takemitsu and Wind Trace by Toshi Ichiyanagi. Significant personal interaction between the aforementioned Japanese composers and American composer John Cage justifies an investigation of his influence on their compositional styles. Toru Takemitsu is currently one of the most prolific Japanese composers. In 1981, Takemitsu composed the percussion trio Rain Tree. Three years later (1984) the Japanese concert pianist Toshi Ichiyanagi composed Wind Trace using Rain Tree's identical instrumentation of marimba, vibraphone, and crotales. Rain Tree and Wind Trace are very similar in compositional style. Formally, both works are single-movement compositions employing rhythmic tension, harmonic dissonance, and visual imagery created by the use of polyrhythms, aleatory, nonfunctional harmony, and extra-musical references. This study investigates the Japanese philosophy of ma and its influence in Rain Tree and Wind Trace. Ma is the natural pause or interval between two or more phenomena occurring continuously. According to Takemitsu, ma is living space, more than actual space. Both compositions utilize space as an essential compositional technique to either connect compartmentalized activity or to complement melodic material. With the utmost respect for nature, Toru Takemitsu and Toshi Ichiyanagi have synthesized elements of Oriental and Occidental music into compositional styles that are unique yet universal. Functioning within both composer's strong personal aesthetics, the affective use of aleatoric and polyrhythmic structures reflect John Cage's influence. Takemitsu's decision to reevaluate the qualities of Japanese traditional music, and to consciously attempt to express the qualities of nature within his music, are attributable to his associations with John Cage. Rain Tree and Wind Trace are virtuosic vehicles of musical expression for which an understanding of the subtle elements within the Eastern and Western art forms is essential.

While many composers of wind ensemble literature have utilized percussion extensively in their compositions, Jared Spears and David Gillingham are renowned wind ensemble composers who have also written specifically for the percussion ensemble. Within their writing, both have exploited percussion through innovative scorings and their interest in rhythm, timbre, and density. The purpose of this study is to explore the scoring practices (functions of the instruments and combinations) and orchestration techniques (rhythmic and density relationships) of both composers, focusing on the manner and extent to which percussion is employed in their wind and percussion ensemble literature. The criteria for examining each piece and genre were developed to compare and contrast each composer's scoring and orchestration characteristics. To this end, each piece and genre was examined through several scoring categories designed to analyze overall ensemble relationships as well as individual functions of the percussion instruments. These categories were also applied to sections of music, focusing specifically on combinations of instruments and the relationship of ensemble choirs in separate and combined roles. Finally, percussion orchestration was examined with respect to motives, rhythmic underpinnings, metric usage, density relationships, and the significance of these elements to structural unity and form. These comparisons showed that, while sharing certain characteristics, each composer treats percussion scoring and orchestration in different manners, displaying "signature" aspects that make his writing unique. The application of these shared and individual traits, and the extent to which they are employed, define each composer's distinctive style.

Minoru Miki's first two marimba compositions, Time for Marimba (1968) and Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra (1969) were composed at a revolutionary time-period for the marimba. Due to unique and innovative compositional techniques, Miki helped establish the marimba as a true concert instrument capable of performing music of the highest quality. As a pioneer in composing for marimba literature, Miki was able to capture the true essence of the marimba; a timeless quality that has helped Time for Marimba remain a part of the standard solo repertoire for the past forty years. The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare Minoru Miki's compositions, Time for Marimba and Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra. Composed within a year of each other, these works possess similar compositional techniques, and rhythmic and thematic relationships. This thesis includes a formal analysis and detailed comparisons of compositional techniques used in both works. Performance considerations, a brief biographical sketch of Miki and historical significance of Time for Marimba and Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra are also included.

I denna studie har jag undersökt hur min övning på trumset och slagverk ser ut inför spel med RI-ensemble och slagverksensemble. Studien har utgått från ett designteoretiskt perspektiv och forskningsfrågorna: 1) Hur designar jag mitt övande till respektive ensemble? 2) Vilka semiotiska resurser används och hur används de? Under studien har jag samlat in data genom att filma några övningspass och skrivit loggbok. Därefter har jag analyserat min data utifrån en tematisk analys för att lyfta fram hur de semiotiska resurserna används, vilka mönster som finns i min planering och hur jag använder olika övningsmetoder och strategier. Detta för att få en så klar bild som möjligt över hur mina övningspass ser ut. Resultatet visar mitt genomförande av övningspassen och lyfter också fram olika metoder och strategier jag använt, till exempel långsamt övande, överdrivna rörelser och att upprepa de rätta rörelsemönstren. Studien presenterar också litteratur och forskning som är relevant för ämnena övning, trumset och slagverk. I slutet av studien förs en diskussion kring mitt resultat i förhållande till denna litteratur och designteorin. / In this study I have explored how my practice on drum set and percussion looks like before playing with a RI-ensemble and a percussion ensemble. The study has been based on a design theoretical perspective and the following research questions: 1) How do I design my practice to each ensemble? 2) Which semiotic resources are used and how? During the study I´ve been gathering data by filming some of my practice sessions and writing a logbook. I have then analyzed my data based on a thematic analysis to highlight how the semiotic resources are used, what patterns are shown in my planning and how I use different types of methods- and strategies in my practice. This is done to get a clear understanding on how my practice sessions looks like. The result shows my execution of the practice session and also highlights different methods and strategies I used, for example I used slow practicing, excessive movements and repeating the correct movements. The study also presents literature and research that is relevant for the subjects of practice, drum set and percussion. At the end of the study, there is a discussion about my result compared to the presented literature and the design theory.
