Performance and analysis in Jonathan Harvey's AdvayaMarotto, Stephen Costanzo 30 June 2018 (has links)
This analysis examines Jonathan Harvey’s seminal electroacoustic work, Advaya, for
cello, electronic keyboard, and electronics. The paper is divided into three sections: a
survey of Harvey’s writing for cello; a harmonic analysis; and a performance-based
analysis. In the first section, I discuss his unique style of cello writing and certain
techniques he uses to expand the available palate of colors that can be obtained from the
instrument. For the second section I examine the various ways in which Harvey builds
musical constructs based on the spectrum of the cello’s A string (220 Hz), and the
overarching harmonic structures of the work. In the final section, I discuss issues that
arise from the point of view of a musician preparing the piece for performance along with
a pedagogical discussion of the extended techniques used, accompanied by companion
videos. This paper is intended for cellists, musicians, and non-musicians alike as a
springboard for further investigation into the incredible and underrated music of Jonathan
Harvey.
