A Study of Marcel Dupré's Variations sur un Noël as Correlated with American Visual Art

abstract: By studying of a piece of music paired with specific artwork from the time and place of its composition, one can learn more about the character and artistic merits of both the art and music, as well as their relationship to the culture in which they were created. It is the purpose of this paper to examine one specific idea within this vein of interdisciplinary study. This study explores the presentation of American visual art from the 1920s alongside Dupré's Variations sur un Noël, Op. 20. This correlation provides a platform for deeper insight into the composition. The sights and sounds of America that Dupré observed while composing his variation set, captured in artwork from that period, illustrate some of the unique and distinguishing features of the musical work. This study also explores the history and culture around music and art in the 1920's, as well as some of the existing research on the relationship between music and visual art. / Dissertation/Thesis / Track1 / Track 2 / Track 3 / Track 4 / Track 5 / Track 6 / Track 7 / Track 8 / Track 9 / Track 10 / Track 11 / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2014
