Addressing Technical and Musical Demands of Contemporary Music for Horn through Newly-Composed EtudesHessel, Eric 08 1900 (has links)
Contemporary music for horn often requires techniques and musical or notational considerations that are unconventional with respect to the standard pedagogy of the instrument. As such, these considerations often represent a level of challenge to which the average-intermediate to advanced-hornist is unprepared to approach or altogether unfamiliar. The most prominent of these demands arising in the last few decades of the twentieth century through today include microtonality (such as extended just intonation and quarter tones), extended techniques in combination or juxtaposition (such as multiphonics and right hand technique), rhythmic complexity (including metric modulation, non-dyadic meters, additive rhythms, and nested tuplets), and unconventional notations (graphic, spatial, and other temporal notations). This document first surveys the challenges of the repertoire in question, which includes works by György Ligeti, Thea Musgrave, Milton Babbitt, Brian Ferneyhough, Iannis Xenakis, Heinz Holliger, and Douglas Hill, among others. After considering the merits and limitations of existing pedagogical materials that work towards these ends, the document then underlines a strategic pedagogical goal for understanding and approaching unconventional contemporary repertoire through newly-composed etudes. This document is written in conjunction with and justification for the author's 24 Unconventional Etudes for Horn, and includes examples therefrom.

A Set of Compositions Inspired by Selected Performance Practices and Notational Systems of Anthony Braxton (b. 1945)Van Leeuwen, Christopher M. 05 1900 (has links)
Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and music philosopher Anthony Braxton (b. 1945) has developed performance practices and notational systems that are frequently disregarded by scholars of music, despite his prolific output and influence. His restructuralist aesthetic blurs the boundaries between philosophy, visual art, and numerous musical genres and stylistic practices to create an amalgam that is often difficult to categorize due to his perpetual quest to avoid confining definitions. The purpose of this dissertation is to draw attention to various facets of Anthony Braxton's notational and performance practices by using them as a springboard for personal creativity. Inspiration for these original works was drawn from a variety of Braxton's methods, particularly from his quartet music of the 1980s and his Ghost Trance Music, and drew heavily from his concepts of "moment time" and "individual presence," which are key themes arising throughout his music and the literature. Specific compositional techniques were either used verbatim or as inspiration for the development of original practices and are accompanied by an analysis and discussion.

Beckett, Barthelme, and Vonnegut : finding hope in meaninglessnessBritten, Alex M. 16 April 2012 (has links)
This thesis is a study of the shifting philosophical trends in the works of Samuel Beckett, Donald Barthelme, and Kurt Vonnegut as representations of a greater shift from modernism to postmodernism. I have chosen to explore Beckett's plays Waiting for Godot and Krapp's Last Tape, Barthelme's short stories "Nothing: A Preliminary Account," "The New Music," and "Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegal," and Vonnegut's book Timequake to see how each author seeks to find a new hope in the face of a collapsed causal system. This work is an examination of the form and content of each author's work as it pertains to their own philosophical standing and in relation to the other two authors' works. I argue that each author finds a different hope for humanity depending on their place among the philosophical trends during their time. / Graduation date: 2012
