A Performer's Guide to the Solo Flute Works of Kaija Saariaho: Laconisme de l'aile and NoaNoaJanuary 2013 (has links)
abstract: The works of premier Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho demonstrate a fascination with the exploration and expansion of timbral possibilities. This project explores Laconisme de l'aile and NoaNoa, the only two of her works written for solo C-flute. Saariaho has developed a unique compositional style for the flute, characterized by extremes of color which are expressed through extended techniques such as the integration of the voice, with and without text, into the music, the exploration of "noise," the transformation between different timbres, and the use of electronic effects. Laconisme de l'aile (1982) is a dramatic and passionate work filled with lyrical gestures and intriguing timbres with optional electronic effects, and is an excellent introduction to the composer's writing for the flute. NoaNoa (1992) is characteristic of her mature compositional style. Like many of her later works, the electronic aspect of the work is integral to the piece. Saariaho's exploration of the timbral spectrum of the flute has resulted in a complex and unusual style of notation, making these works somewhat inaccessible for performers. Additionally, the technological requirements for NoaNoa make the work both intimidating and impossible to perform without either extensive technical knowledge or consultation with someone who has the necessary technical expertise. Through a detailed performance guide and reference recordings of both works, this project aims to make these two works accessible. All technical specifications are explained and the performance instructions address notation as well execution of all designated effects. Additionally, instructions for the electronic portion of NoaNoa allow flutists to perform the work with minimal assistance. / Dissertation/Thesis / Reference recording for NoaNoa / Reference recording for Laconisme de l'aile / Reference recording for Laconisme de l'aile with electronics / D.M.A. Music 2013

The Poetic and Musical Dialogue of Ambrosini and Cavalcanti: a Study of Claudio Ambrosini’s a Guisa Di Un Arcier Presto Soriano for Solo FluteChoi, Su-hyun 08 1900 (has links)
Claudio Ambrosini’s (b. 1948) unpublished work for unaccompanied flute, A guisa di un arcier presto soriano (1981), although virtually unknown to the musical public and to connoisseurs alike, represents one of the most dazzling and impressive displays of extended techniques in the repertoire of solo flute music. The title, A guisa di un arcier presto soriano, comes from the seventh line of a sonnet by the Italian medieval poet Guido Cavalcanti (ca. 1250-1300) and translates as “just like a fast Syrian archer.” The archer in question is Eros, the Greek god of love. By the composer’s own admission, the form and expression of this piece is closely linked with the form and expression of Cavalcanti’s sonnet. In particular, Ambrosini intimates three elements specifically drawn from the poem: 1) moments of tension and suspense, as Eros silently approaches his target with bow and arrow in hand; 2) moments of love, even to the point of suggesting a love song; and 3) moments that suggest the fast passage of arrows. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore these three elements in Ambrosini’s work and to trace the correlations of the same elements in Cavalcanti’s sonnet. The expression of such concrete poetic imagery in Ambrosini’s music is at times easily deciphered through clear programmatic gestures or wordless madrigalisms; and at other times the symbolism of the poetry is developed in a hidden and metaphorical manner in its musical iteration. Further, Ambrosini’s use of a particularly colorful and vast array of extended techniques serves as the impetus for the formal structure that the music embodies, and I will show that this formal structure is itself a symbolic and metaphorical representation of the poetic significance of Cavalcanti’s sonnet.

Previous issue date: 2012-03-26 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study aimed to describe how extended techniques are related to sound
settings and the concept of "sound figures" described by Salvatore Sciarrino, used in his
pieces for solo flute, published in the book L'Opera per Flauto. Such techniques and figures
are fundamental to an understanding of his works. In our analytical reading, we started from
the methodological considerations of the composer, described in the book Le Figure della
Musica da Beethoven a oggi, which proposes a methodology of analysis based on the
concept of "sound figures" - a criteria imported from the visual arts. These sound figures are
also present in his compositional works, in a way that they interact with the musical discourse
organization. It was sought an understanding of how visual criteria established in its
methodology also encompassed the formal considerations of his works for solo flute. So, two
different methodologies were used: the qualitative one, based on the theoretical assumptions
of the composer; and the quantitative one, based on the spectral analysis of the audio
recordings of the pieces. Our goal was to investigate and describe the trajectory of the partial
over the time, in order to investigate and demonstrate concepts created by the composer
through the proposed analysis. / A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo descrever como as técnicas expandidas
estão relacionadas com as configurações sonoras e as figuras descritas por Salvatore
Sciarrino e utilizadas em suas peças para flauta solo, publicadas no caderno L Opera per
Flauto. Tais técnicas e figuras são fundamentais para a compreensão de suas obras. Em
nossa leitura analítica, partimos das considerações metodológicas do compositor, descritas no
livro Le Figure della Musica da Beethoven a oggi, no qual propõe uma metodologia de
análise baseada no conceito de figuras sonoras - um critério importado das artes visuais.
Essas figuras sonoras estão presentes também no plano composicional de suas obras, de
maneira que interagem na organização do discurso musical. Assim, buscamos compreender
como critérios visuais estabelecidos em sua metodologia englobaram também as
considerações formais de suas obras para flauta solo. Para tanto utilizamos duas metodologias
distintas: a qualitativa, que parte dos pressupostos teóricos do compositor; e a quantitativa que
parte da análise espectral das gravações em áudio das peças. O objetivo é investigar e
descrever o comportamento geral dos parciais no decorrer do tempo, com intuito de averiguar
e evidenciar, através das análises propostas os conceitos formulados pelo compositor.

Joan Tower's Hexachords for Solo Flute: an Analysis and Comparison of its Flute Writing to Tower's Flute Concerto with Three Recitals of Selected Works of Vivaldi, Rivier, Mozart, Davidowsky, and OthersJones, Margo S. 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation discusses two flute works by Joan Tower (born 1938). The performance medium consists of flute alone, Hexachords for Solo Flute (1972), and flute and orchestra, the Flute Concerto (1989). The discussion on Hexachords consists of a theoretical analysis; discussion on the Flute Concerto pertains to Tower's flute writing through an investigation into her musical language and specific performance techniques. Numerous examples are included to illustrate various aspects of Tower's style. Conclusions follow. The purpose of the paper is, first, to illustrate that basic knowledge of the twelve-tone method can bring a composition out of uncertainty for the performer and allow him to present what is unique within it. Secondly, it is to investigate the stylistic maturation of Joan Tower's flute works. In order to facilitate a better understanding of Tower's music and to provide commentary about the performance of each work, the writer has quoted from personal interviews with the composer and with flutists Carol Wincenc and Patricia Spencer, to whom the works are dedicated.

Estudo comparativo entre edições da Sequenza I para flauta solo de Luciano Berio: subsídios para compreensão e interpretação da obra / Comparative study between editions of Sequenza I for solo flute by Luciano Berio: subsidies for the understanding and interpretation of the workCibele Odete Palopoli 19 December 2013 (has links)
A presente dissertação expõe um estudo analítico da Sequenza I, para flauta solo, escrita pelo compositor italiano Luciano Berio (1925-2003), com foco nas duas edições da obra. A primeira, de 1958, faz uso de notação proporcional e foi publicada pela Editora Suvini Zerboni. Já em 1992, surge uma edição revisada pelo compositor, fazendo uso de notação rítmica tradicional, e que foi publicada pela Universal Edition. Dentre as diversas motivações para a realização deste trabalho, podemos citar a peculiaridade da reescritura da obra pelo próprio compositor, 34 anos mais tarde, focando suas alterações substancialmente na notação rítmica; um levantamento de questões referentes às práticas interpretativas com foco na obra para flauta transversal; e a representatividade da Sequenza I como um cânone do repertório para flauta, cujo estudo é indispensável ao flautista do século XXI. Colocando-nos tanto no papel de intérprete quanto de analista, buscamos reflexões acerca das práticas interpretativas, visto que procuramos nos desenvolver no domínio de ambas as áreas. Na conclusão, observamos haver um relacionamento de colaboração mútua entre análise musical e performance que realmente esclarece aspectos estruturais, e uma influência da experiência de Berio junto à composição eletroacústica na escrita desta obra para instrumento acústico. / This thesis presents an analytical study of Sequenza I for solo flute, by the Italian composer Luciano Berio (1925-2003), focusing on two editions of the work. The first one, from 1958, uses proportional notation and was published by Suvini Zerboni Editions. The second one, published by Universal Edition in 1992, was reviewed by the composer and uses traditional rhythmic notation. Among various motivations for carrying out this work, I mention the peculiarity of a composer rewriting his own work 34 years later, centering his changes mainly in the rhythmic notation; a survey of issues regarding interpretative practices and focusing on works for flute; and the representativity of Sequenza I as a canon of the flute repertoire, which study is indispensable to the Twentieth Century flautist. Placing myself both in the role of performer and analyst, I look for reflections concerning performance practices, as I seek to develop myself in both fields. In conclusion, I found a relationship of mutual collaboration between musical analysis and performance, which really clarifies structural aspects; and an influence of Berio\'s experience within electroacoustic composition in writing this piece for an acoustic instrument

Previous issue date: 2008 / Este trabalho trata de questões relativas a “desconstrução” da obra Improviso nº 3 para Flauta Solo de Camargo Guarnieri. Foi proposto a partir de uma “excursão analítica”, a investigação e o desmembramento da estrutura musical geral em pequenas partes, tal qual um “quebracabeça” que teve suas peças separadas, incluindo exemplos no formato de partituras para melhor visualização. Partindo da observação dos pequenos elementos e a junção destes no texto musical, foi proposta a criação de alternativas e recursos de estudo através da divisão dos elementos melódicos-rítmicos e suas implicações com os aspectos técnicos flautísticos, visando auxiliar o intérprete na performance musical da obra e estimulando a criatividade interpretativa através de uma visão analítica instrumental, despertando ainda o interesse em outros intérpretes a “fabricar” suas próprias “desconstruções”, construindo a performance de uma obra por outros meios que não os mais usuais. A “excursão analítica” utilizou como referendo de base para a questão analítica formal, a obra de Arnold Schoenberg, Fundamentos da composição musical, complementada pelas definições fraseológicas de Breno Braga e Esther Scliar. O objetivo principal do presente trabalho foi o registro de uma prática de perfomance, demonstrando a visão analítica de um intérprete na medida em que este necessita abordar o maior número de parâmetros possíveis de modo a construir a obra com coerência e com uma observação que visa o todo da obra. / Salvador

Uncovering Aspects of Western and Indian Music in Vanraj Bhatia's Night Music for Solo Flute, and Selected Other WorksWoolf, Rachel, 1988- 08 1900 (has links)
Born in 1927 in Bombay, Vanraj Bhatia is an Indian composer of music for concerts, film, television, opera, meditation, and commercial jingles. His musical style is unique, stemming from his training in both Western and North Indian classical, or Hindustani, music. Little is known about Vanraj Bhatia in the Western classical world, and in India he is recognized primarily as a composer of film music. This dissertation aims to bring awareness of Vanraj Bhatia's significance as a Western classical composer, focusing on uncovering the cross-cultural influences of his only solo flute piece, Night Music, composed in 1964. This research offers Western flutists a better understanding of Indian music, specifically Hindustani and Indian folk music traditions, often not fully understood since Indian music is an aural tradition, rarely transcribed and notated, and relies on a guru/shishya (teacher/student) relationship. Such an understanding will elucidate the compositional choices made in Night Music, allowing flutists to be more informed in their performance of it. Although the focus of this study is on Night Music, other repertoire from Bhatia's concert music and film music will also be examined to illuminate Bhatia's compositional style, which includes elements of Hindustani music, Indian folk music, and Western musical traditions. An exploration of some of Bhatia's other compositions written for Western musicians will give readers beyond the realm of flutists a better understanding of his distinctive, cross-cultural style and influences, and will introduce larger audiences to this exceptional and little-known composer.

Sonorous Andean Landscapes: A Performance Guide for Guevara Ochoa's "Yaraví, Danza y Huayno" (n.d) and Vivanco's "Fantasía Andina" (c. 1988)Romo Bocanegra, Jossecarlo 12 1900 (has links)
Peruvian composers Armando Guevara Ochoa (1926–2013) and César Vivanco (b. 1949) borrow and transplant musical elements from Andean folk tradition into their compositions for the modern classical flute. Guevara Ochoa's Yaraví, Danza y Huayno and Vivanco's Fantasía Andina are solo flute pieces rooted in Peruvian folklore traditions and Andean instrumental performance. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide flutists with technical and interpretative guidance in preparing these pieces. Yaraví, Danza y Huayno, a suite of three short dances, and Fantasía Andina, a free-meter piece in an improvisational style, incorporate elements that utilize the performance techniques of Andean instruments, with use of quotations from traditional Andean folk music. References to quenas (traditional vertical flutes), zampoñas (panpipes), pututos (ceremonial natural horns), charangos (Andean guitars) and Andean harps are integrated within the works and fused with themes borrowed from iconic pieces such as El cóndor pasa, and traditional harmonic, melodic and rhythmic structures of the huayno (fast festive dance) and yaraví (slow melancholic song). The techniques and traditions borrowed from Andean folk music are not notated in these scores due to the limitations of musical notation. Performers are expected to portray the Andean musical identity of the composers' intent. This dissertation assists performers unfamiliar with the traditions of Andean music to identify and understand the implicit Andean roots in both works and develop techniques to accurately represent sounds of Andean Peruvian traditions, with a deeper, culturally informed interpretation of this music.
