La musique de circonstance pour "Harmoniemusik" à Vienne (1760-1820). / The occasional music for "Harmoniemusik" in Vienna (1760-1820)Gasche, David 11 December 2009 (has links)
La musique de circonstance pour "Harmoniemusik" (I760-1820) est un phénomène particulier à Vienne. Des nobles fondent vers 1760 un sextuor ou un octuor pour accompagner les divertissements et les dîners. Ce répertoire occupe encore une place limitée dans la capitale mais ce rôle s'accroît après 1770. Trois fonctions principales de la "Harmoniemusik" sont abordées : "Freiluftmusik", "Tafelmusik "et tout un répertoire destiné aux circonstances. Vienne s'impose comme un centre de la musique instrumentale. Elle compte de nombreuses "Harmoniemusik" au service de la noblesse. Des harmonies se retrouvent aussi dans différents lieux publics. Les œuvres demeurent un genre représentatif des valeurs classiques. L'analyse de partitions démontre les réponses apportées par les compositeurs sur la question du langage instrumental et des sonorités. La musique contribue à la formation d'une identité et traduit une expressivité inattendue qui se répercute dans des ouvrages plus imposants. / The occasional music for "Harmoniemusik" (1760-1820) is particular phenomenon in Vienna.Since 1760 the nobility founded there sextets or octets to provide entertainment and to accompany dinners. This repertory plays a very limited part but this role starts to grow after 1770 onwards. Three main functions of the Harmoniemusik are considered : "Freiluftmusik", "Tafelmusik" and a whole repertory destined to specific circumstances. Vienna imposes itself as the centre of instrumental. The Harmoniemusik remained an aristocratic phenomenon but thewind bands are also found in various areas of the capital. The works remains a category representative of classical values. The analysis of scores demonstrates the answers provided by composers to the theme of instrumental language and sonority. The music contributes to the formation of an musical identity and reflects an unexpected form of expression that impacts with the most imposing works.

Drum Music: A Performance Guide and Discussion of John Mackey's Influential Concerto for the Modern PercussionistMcWilliams, Chris 08 1900 (has links)
John Mackey is an influential and prolific composer of wind band literature. His focus on and exploration of the percussion section are defining characteristics of his compositional voice. Mackey's concerto for percussion and wind band, "Drum Music," is a perfect example of his exploitation of the myriad timbres available within the percussion family, and also serves to showcase the versatility required of a modern percussionist. This dissertation and accompanying lecture recital provide a comprehensive guide for performers of the work. Major aspects of Mackey's compositional approach are discussed with emphasis placed on his use of percussion throughout his works. Analysis and performance concerns are discussed for each of the concertos three movements, and information is provided on the reduced version of the work prepared as part of this study.

The Renaissance of the American Symphony for Wind Band as Exemplified by the Recent Symphonies of Donald Grantham, David Dzubay, James Stephenson, and Kevin WalczykTownsend, Jacqueline 05 1900 (has links)
Since the 18th century, composers have utilized the symphony to communicate thoughts and ideas through the vehicle of a large ensemble composed of a variety of instrumental colors. Though the structure of the symphony has understandably been subject to the varied interpretations of composers over the past 300 years, several characteristics of the traditional symphony do seem to have stood the test of time. In this document, the recent developments of the American symphony for wind band is discussed, focusing on the ways in which recent works both adhere to and divert from the traditional understanding of the classical symphonic form and highlighting the resurgence of the form by wind band composers. For the purposes of this study, David Dzubay's Symphony No. 2: Through a Glass Darkly, James Stephenson's Symphony No. 2: Voices, Donald Grantham's Symphony No. 2: After Hafiz, and Kevin Walczyk's Symphony No. 4: Unforsaken are used to demonstrate how each composer writes in their own unique style using contemporary techniques, while still appearing to maintain traditional aspects of the symphonic form, whether consciously or subconsciously. For each of the four works, a structural analysis is conducted using a rubric of standard symphonic norms. Additionally, interviews were conducted with each composer, providing insight on their compositional process, the commissioning process, and their thoughts on the symphonic form for wind band. The responses each composer gave during their interviews is incorporated into the analysis of each work, allowing the composer's own voice to supplement the findings.

The West Point Band's Wind Commissioning Project in Celebration of the Bicentennial of the United States Military AcademyMorse, Matthew C., 1967- 05 1900 (has links)
The United States Military Academy Band, also known as the West Point Band is the oldest active band in the United States Army and the oldest unit at the United States Military Academy, and is considered to be one of the finest military musical organizations in the world. The band has also been instrumental in facilitating the creation of new works for wind band.As the commissioning of new music has been essential to the expansion of the wind band's repertoire, several major commissioning projects were undertaken in the mid-twentieth century by various organizations, including the West Point Band, the Goldman Band in conjunction with the League of Composers and later the American Bandmasters Association, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, the American Wind Symphony, and the College Band Directors National Association. These commissioning projects and many others have contributed hosts of new quality works to the repertoire of the wind band. The West Point Band's 1952 commissioning project celebrating the Sesquicentennial of the United States Military Academy was among the first of these mid-twentieth century commissioning projects to seek out prominent composers of the day and have them write works for wind band. The project contributed several seminal pieces to the wind band's repertoire, including Morton Gould's Symphony for Band: West Point. In 1996, as tribute to both the Academy and to the earlier commissioning project, the West Point Band sought to celebrate the Academy's 2002 bicentennial in a similar fashion by commissioning well-known composers to contribute substantial wind works. These pieces would be premiered and recorded by the West Point Band over a number of years, including a gala Bicentennial Celebration concert at Carnegie Hall in March 2002. The purpose of this study is to create a consolidated written record of the wind music composed for the West Point Band as part of the band's Bicentennial Wind Commissioning Project, and to describe the process and circumstances by which this music was created and premiered. The continuing development of a quality original repertoire is important to the wind band community as a whole, and commissioning composers to write wind band music is the primary means by which new music is acquired. By any account, the twenty-six works produced through the West Point Band's Bicentennial Commissioning Project constitute a significant contribution to this repertoire. As this project and many of these pieces are not well known, it is the author's intent to bring increased attention to this commissioning project and to this music.
