A Primer for the gradual understanding of Steve McCafferyLewis, Kent Richard Arthur 15 May 2017 (has links)
Steve McCaffery is one of Canada's most prolific and innovative
poet-theorists. Although he has attracted attention from major
American critics, study in Canada has been limited to avant-garde
journals, and occasional book reviews in mainstream media. Despite
his important output of poetry, theory, performances, audio tapes,
videotapes, prints and broadsides, McCaffery has never been the
focus of a major study in this country, or elsewhere.
It is the goal of this dissertation to provide the first complete
overview of McCaffery's thirty-year career. Through close readings
of selected texts, this dissertation classifies McCaffery's output into
various chronological stages. These include an early concrete phase,
a mid-career Marxist phase, and a late postmodern phase. The
dissertation also classifies McCaffery's writings into various thematic
endeavours. In particular, McCaffery recurrently foregrounds the
materiality of language, defies utility, conflates reading and writing,
and emphasizes writing as translation.
Much discussion of McCaffery's writing has been
unsympathetic, dismissive , and misrepresentative, largely because
reviewers seldom understand McCaffery's writing on its own terms.
Consequently, this dissertation provides a detailed explanation of
McCaffery's poetics alongside his poetry. Frequently Mcaffery's
theory differs significantly from the poetry it purports to explain; at
times, his poetics contradicts his poetry. Consequently, this thesis examines the disparity between McCaffery’s stated aesthetic and his
poetry, in order to test the viability and limits of his project.
Having described McCaffery's own intentions, this dissertation
critiques McCaffery's writing from theoretical positions outside his
own project. Using various feminist methodologies, it examines the
complex way in which McCaffery genders language, noting three
different, inconsistent trends in his poetry. Moreover, this thesis
begins to articulate McCaffery's position within the Canadian canon.
Although McCaffery himself is hostile to the notion of nationalism, he
can be seen, ironically, as part of a long-standing Canadian tradition which interrogates its own identity. / Graduate

The Avatar by Steve Rouse: A Performance Practice GuideLynn, Mark J. 08 1900 (has links)
The Avatar for trumpet and piano by Dr. Steve Rouse is one of the most challenging compositions in the trumpet repertoire. Due to The Avatar's challenges and increasing popularity, a study is necessary to aid its performance. Each movement is performed on a different instrument: Bb piccolo (with an optional A piccolo part) for Nativity, Bb Flugelhorn for Enigma-Release and Bb trumpet for Rebirth. In addition, the performer must convey one of the work's possible programmatic meanings: (1) The Hindu belief of an Avatar and its life cycle, (2) the life of Christ or (3) the human lifecycle. Chapter 1 gives historical information about the work. Chapters 2-4 discuss each movement of The Avatar programmatically and pedagogically. Facets of each movement are analyzed including differences in programmatic choices, rehearsal techniques and sound concepts. Chapter 5 provides recording suggestions, including choosing a recording engineer, preparing and planning for a recording section, choosing a venue and the benefits of hiring a tonmeister.

Taking Reich’s Pulse: Putting New Music into ContextMileusnic-Plecas, Anja 11 July 2018 (has links)
Premiered on November 1st 2016, Steve Reich’s new work Pulse: For Winds, Strings, Piano and Electric Bass epitomizes 51 years of compositional development. Understandably, no formal or analytical discussions exist of this work, a lacuna that inspires the present research questions: Where does Pulse fall in relation to Reich’s overall style and technique? Is it a logical continuation of his compositional evolution? Does it make use of the techniques that distinguish him or does it venture into new territories? To answer these questions, the thesis combines a historical survey of Reich’s compositional output with an analysis of Pulse that considers current analytic scholarship. An overview of the literature on the composer serves to determine the separate compositional periods of his output in relation to his most employed techniques. This amalgamation allows for a historically and stylistically contextualized analysis of Pulse. The resulting synthesis not only creates a new categorization of Reich’s compositional development, but also shows that Pulse embodies a summation of the composer’s musical technique.
