Book excerpt: ABSTRACTThe solo tuba repertoire of the 1960s and early 1970s was largely underdeveloped, and those pieces that had been written followed the typical conventions in composing works for more popular solo instruments. Few composers from this period viewed the tuba as a solo instrument with unique offerings available to the composer, and even fewer composers had written solo works for the tuba with the intention of highlighting its distinctive qualities. Robert Jagers Concerto for Bass Tuba is a focused composition of a unique, through-composed, innovative piece in the largely unmapped realm of significant tuba repertoire in the 1970s, paving the way for composers and professional tubists growth decades beyond the Concertos inception. Robert Jagers Concerto for Bass Tuba was commissioned by the University of IllinoisBand under the direction of Harry Begian, for Daniel Perantoni, the Professor of Low Brass at the University. Perantoni premiered the piece at the University of Illinois in 1978. Prior to 1978, there were very few serious pieces written for the solo tuba. Those serious works most frequently performed were the Ralph Vaughan Williams Concerto for Bass Tuba and Orchestra, composed in 1954, and Paul Hindemiths Sonata for Tuba and Piano, composed in 1955. This study serves to further understand the genesis of Jagers Concerto for Bass Tuba, Jagers compositional process when composing his Concerto, his unique compositional style, and the influence this piece had on later solo works for the tuba. Robert Jagers Concerto for Bass Tuba was significantly more difficult for the advanced tubist of the 1970s than the advanced tubist of today. Jagers Concerto strove to push what was possible to perform on the tuba, and helped to elevate the tuba idiom via its technically demanding sections, as well as its long, sweeping melodies which challenged the players ability to perform one phrase in a single breath. As a result of the natural advancement of both the solo tuba repertoire and the proficiency of todays tubists, Jagers Concerto is now accessible to an advanced undergraduate or typical graduate student..

Book Synopsis John Stevens' Journey : Concerto for Contrabass Tuba and Orchestra by : Joshua Davis
Download or read book John Stevens' Journey : Concerto for Contrabass Tuba and Orchestra written by Joshua Davis and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Stevens' Journey: Concerto for Contrabass Tuba and Orchestra is a significant work for tuba for several reasons. One key attribute of the concerto is that the piece was commissioned by a major orchestra. The premiere of a tuba concerto by an ensemble as prestigious as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra prompted David Spies to do interviews with both the composer, John Stevens and the performer, Gene Pokorny. These interviews were printed in the major publication for tuba players, the ITEA Journal. Another reason Journey is important is because it was written for the CC contrabass tuba. This is significant for the tuba repertoire because most of the solo music is written in the higher register and therefore played on the bass tuba, which is smaller. With very few pieces written specifically for the bigger contrabass tuba, Journey has an important role to play within the standard tuba repertoire. Despite the initial excitement surrounding the premiere, and the lack of repertoire for the contrabass tuba, Journey has failed to become a staple in the tuba repertoire and is rarely performed. With a piece as difficult as Journey, the lack of a recording as a resource makes it more difficult to learn than works with available recordings. Due to statements by tuba professors about the lack of a recording and what we know from music education research about the importance of having a high-quality model for effective music learning, a recording would make this piece more approachable to potential players. As part of this project, a recording was made and is now available for easy access online. Along with the recording, the project includes updated interviews with the composer and performer, and a performance guide with discussions about techniques to help tubists learn and perform the piece effectively. The recording, interviews, and performance guide in combination are intended to provide a helpful tool for performers in hopes that more performances will secure Journey's place within the standard tuba repertoire.
Book Synopsis Mothers of Adult Children by : Marguerite Guzman Bouvard
Download or read book Mothers of Adult Children written by Marguerite Guzman Bouvard and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothers of Adult Children elucidates what happens when children come of age and leave home, creating new lives in the realms of work and relationships. Mothers from around the world learn that this is the point in which their relationships with their children must drastically change. Mothers often come to terms with the changes by accepting differences and providing moral and emotional support when needed. However, the evolutionary nature of mothers’ roles throughout the course of their children’s lives is not only determined by the mother-child dynamic. The mothering of adult children is a transformative role, and the stories presented here show that the dynamics between mother and child are also influenced by cultural events. Accidents, disasters, war, and other hardships also intervene in these stories of multicultural motherhood. This book reveals the problems mothers of adult children face and celebrates the outstanding accomplishments of those who mother through hardship.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Liszt by : Kenneth Hamilton
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Liszt written by Kenneth Hamilton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-22 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Companion provides an up-to-date view of the music of Franz Liszt, its contemporary context and performance practice, written by some of the leading specialists in the field of nineteenth-century music studies. Although a core of Liszt's piano music has always maintained a firm hold on the repertoire, his output was so vast, influential and multi-faceted that scholarship too has taken some time to assimilate his achievement. This book offers students and music lovers some of the latest views in an accessible form. Katharine Ellis, Alexander Rehding and James Deaville present the biographical and intellectual aspects of Liszt's legacy, Kenneth Hamilton, James Baker and Anna Celenza give a detailed account of Liszt's piano music - including approaches to performance - Monika Hennemann discusses Liszt's Lieder, and Reeves Shulstad and Dolores Pesce survey his orchestral and choral music.
Download or read book The Virtuoso Liszt written by Dana Gooley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest virtuoso career in history - that of Franz Liszt - has been told in countless biographies. But what does that career look like when viewed from the perspective of European cultural history? In this study Dana Gooley examines the world of discussion, journalism, and controversy that surrounded the virtuoso Liszt, and reconstructs the multiple symbolic identities that he fulfilled for his enthusiastic audiences. Gooley's work is based on extensive research into contemporary periodicals - well-known and obscure journals and newspapers - as well as letters, memoirs, receipts and other documents that shed light on Liszt's concertising activities. Emphasising the virtuoso's contradictions, the author shows Liszt being constructed as a model aristocrat and a model bourgeois, as a German nationalist and a Hungarian nationalist, as a sensitive romantic artist and a military dictator, as a greedy entrepreneur and as a leading force for humanitarian charity.

Book Synopsis Richard Wagner and His World by : Thomas S. Grey
Download or read book Richard Wagner and His World written by Thomas S. Grey and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Wagner (1813-1883) aimed to be more than just a composer. He set out to redefine opera as a "total work of art" combining the highest aspirations of drama, poetry, the symphony, the visual arts, even religion and philosophy. Equally celebrated and vilified in his own time, Wagner continues to provoke debate today regarding his political legacy as well as his music and aesthetic theories. Wagner and His World examines his works in their intellectual and cultural contexts. Seven original essays investigate such topics as music drama in light of rituals of naming in the composer's works and the politics of genre; the role of leitmotif in Wagner's reception; the urge for extinction in Tristan und Isolde as psychology and symbol; Wagner as his own stage director; his conflicted relationship with pianist-composer Franz Liszt; the anti-French satire Eine Kapitulation in the context of the Franco-Prussian War; and responses of Jewish writers and musicians to Wagner's anti-Semitism. In addition to the editor, the contributors are Karol Berger, Leon Botstein, Lydia Goehr, Kenneth Hamilton, Katherine Syer, and Christian Thorau. This book also includes translations of essays, reviews, and memoirs by champions and detractors of Wagner; glimpses into his domestic sphere in Tribschen and Bayreuth; and all of Wagner's program notes to his own works. Introductions and annotations are provided by the editor and David Breckbill, Mary A. Cicora, James Deaville, Annegret Fauser, Steven Huebner, David Trippett, and Nicholas Vazsonyi.
