Charles Koechlin composed the Silhouettes de Comédie for bassoon and orchestra in 1943. It is a monumental work for bassoon due to its length, scope, orchestration, and magnitude of difficulty. Because of these elements, the Silhouettes de Comédie has languished in obscurity. The purpose of this treatise will be to discuss in depth all aspects of the Silhouettes in order to bring this major work by a renowned composer back to the public awareness and add it to the bassoonist's repertoire. In addition to providing biographical information concerning Koechlin's life and career, this treatise includes an in-depth study of each of the movements of the Silhouettes de Comédie. The character of each movement is indicated by a descriptive title. Some of the movements are dedicated to single characters from the Commedia dell'Arte tradition, but others are more likely to have been inspired by a combination of Commedia-influenced art, drama, poetry, film, and literature from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. / Summer Semester, 2009. / April 29, 2009. / Commedia, Koechlin, Bassoon / Includes bibliographical references. / Jeffrey Keesecker, Professor Directing Treatise; Richard Clary, Outside Committee Member; Eric Ohlsson, Committee Member.
