This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to begin placing Rudolf Forst's solo harp works into the broader context of twentieth-century harp literature. A secondary purpose was to shed light on the body of lesser-known works written by American composers between 1900 and 1980. Through a stylistic analysis of Forst's works, it is evident that his musical style was consistent with trends in American music during the early-to-late twentieth century. His early harp works, written during the 1940s, demonstrate characteristics of both German and French musical influences. Sequences, written in 1972, reveals how Forst was incorporating trends from the 1960s, which included atonality and tendencies toward the avant-garde. At the core of all of Forst's harp works is a balance between conservative and experimental compositional approaches that enables these works to remain accessible to both listeners and performers. Forst's solos for harp are also well-written, demonstrating his understanding of the instrument. The appendix of lesser-known solo harp works by American composers shows that Forst was not the only composer whose works have been overlooked in discussions of harp literature. Further research on Forst and the lesser-known body of works would allow for greater understanding of trends in harp literature during the twentieth century.

Download or read book The Importance of Harpist John Thomas as a Welsh Nationalistic Composer and His Impact on the Development of VIrtuosic Harp Repertoire written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welsh-born harpist and composer John Thomas performed for audiences throughout Europe serving as the harpist to Queen Victoria of England. He was trained in London at the Royal Academy of Music, yet remained loyal to his Welsh heritage throughout his life. He began composing at the age of 16 while still a student at the Academy and continued arranging and composing repertoire for harp well into the Twentieth Century. This document will show that John Thomas was instrumental in the development of virtuosic harp literature and the recognition of the double-action pedal harp as a concert instrument while maintaining a strong sense of Welsh Nationalism as demonstrated in his original compositions. Like the Welsh harpists and composers before him, Thomas collected and preserved Welsh Airs. In addition, Thomas participated at numerous Eisteddfoddau, lectured on the history of the Welsh Harp, and wrote the "Welsh Music History" article in the first edition of the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. However, unlike his predecessors, Thomas composed for the modern pedal harp and employed virtuosic techniques heretofore unexplored in Welsh harp music. Though this harpist, composer, and music historian produced a prolific output of virtuosic works and historical writings, very little has been documented on his life and career. There are no complete works lists in print. Many of Thomas' manuscripts and published works remain out of print in the National Library of Wales. The Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians contains only a brief article on this composer's life and career. Thomas is internationally recognized as a leading composer and performer among harpists of the Nineteenth Century. His works are still performed by harpists in recitals at international conferences and competitions including the World Harp Congresses. Further, Thomas' students became touring performers and made a significant mark on the performing arena throughout much of the Twentieth Century.

Book Synopsis Carlos Salzedo and the Development of Harp in North America by : Gwendoline Laksmi Pannetier
Download or read book Carlos Salzedo and the Development of Harp in North America written by Gwendoline Laksmi Pannetier and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the twentieth century, the harp became a more modern instrument; harpist-composer Carlos Salzedo (1885–1961) played an important role in this change. With harp music being lesser known than music of some other instruments, there is limited written information addressing the subject and even less information about newer harp repertoire, harpist-composers and composers who have written for the instrument. When French-born harpist Salzedo immigrated to the United States in the early twentieth century, he sought to promote the harp as a modern instrument while affiliated with ultramodernist composers of the New York music scene including Edgard Varèse, Henry Cowell and Dane Rudhyar. Salzedo was the first harp pedagogue to fully explore new technical and timbral possibilities of the harp: he focused on a less traditional way of composing for the harp and published new method books including his extended techniques and compositions along with his student, Lucile Lawrence. Salzedo’s ideas aligned with those of his social and artistic circle in the U.S.. He participated in the creation of new organizations such as the International Composers’ Guild with Varèse to focus on promoting international new works to audiences; and the National Association of Harpists to gather harpists from all around the country and its official journal, Eolian Review, disseminating articles regarding the harp and modern music. Salzedo was also highly involved in pedagogy by establishing high-school programs, higher education harp studios and a summer program. With these significant engagements, Salzedo created a vast community and network of students and influenced audiences, composers, and other harpists. This treatise describes Salzedo’s compositional characteristics, innovations, community building, and how these components inspired composers and performers to continue this growth of making the harp modern. In my contribution to promoting new works for harp, I have compiled works by composers from or based in the U.S. and Canada of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in a catalog. The goal of this catalog is to give these compositions more visibility to harpists and non-harpists. Without doubt, musical works are still to be added in the future as these lists are not exhaustive

Book Synopsis The Solo Piano Music of Selected Contemporary Canadian Women Composers by : Joo Yeon Tarina Kim
Download or read book The Solo Piano Music of Selected Contemporary Canadian Women Composers written by Joo Yeon Tarina Kim and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's contributions to the history of Canadian music can be traced back to the late nineteenth century. However, women's achievements then, and still somewhat now, are often overlooked and as a result, piano solo works by Canadian women composers are largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to promote the wealth of solo piano repertoire composed by Canadian women, and to report the results in an accessible and comprehensible format for students, teachers, and performers at all levels. The research focuses on the most recent piano music by female composers born in or after 1950 whose compositions are available through the Canadian Music Centre (CMC) library. Brief biographies of included composers note their accomplishments, compositional output, and style characteristics. Annotations for the 103 works studied, written by twenty-six composers, include information about harmonic schemes, meters, tempos, durations, dates of the composition, CMC call number, level of difficulty, commissions, musical excerpts, premieres, and style characteristics. The style characteristics section includes composer's notes, technical challenges, musical characteristics, pedagogical values, and other pertinent information about a given piece. Since the goal of this project is to stimulate the awareness of music composed by Canadian women in a truly global sense, the research paper is supplemented by a website--www.canadianwomencomposers.com--that contains all the information found in the written portion of the annotations. This website also offers short audio samples of the compositions. The writer wishes to encourage all students, performers, and teachers to explore this resource, which reveals the richness of solo piano repertoire written by Canadian women composers.

Book Synopsis The Descriptive Miniatures of Alphonse Hasselmans and Henriette Renié by : Sarah Katherine Crocker
Download or read book The Descriptive Miniatures of Alphonse Hasselmans and Henriette Renié written by Sarah Katherine Crocker and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterized by the ascendance of the double-action pedal harp and a resulting evolution in harp literature and performance practice, the modern French school of harp developed at the fin de siècle. Belgian harp virtuoso and composer Alphonse Hasselmans (1845-1912) founded this new method after his appointment as professor of harp at the Paris Conservatory in 1884. Championed by his most beloved student, harp prodigy and composer Henriette Renié, the French school of harp flourished in the early twentieth century. This document offers an examination of the relationship between Hasselmans and Renié, as well as a study of their salon pieces for harp. Chapter one, an overview of the political and religious environment of France during the Third Republic, explains how government and gender stereotypes affected the lives of these musicians. It also provides a concise history of the role of the harp in Parisian salons and assesses the importance of program music during the belle époque to illustrate how Hasselmans' and Renié's descriptive works fit into a broader cultural and musical context. Chapter two provides a detailed study of the close, but at times tumultuous, rapport between these composers. The analysis of their relationship is supported by unpublished primary source material, including letters from Hasselmans to Renié and anecdotes from Renié's memoirs, from the Henriette Renié (1875-1956) and Françoise des Varennes (1919-2004) Papers located at the International Harp Archives at Brigham Young University. Building on the previous discussion, chapter three details the compositional influence of Hasselmans' works on those of Renié through similarities in genre, form, and compositional style. Chapter four discusses the pedagogical features of the salon pieces that resulted from this collaboration. Although the works are recognized for their pedagogical value, harpists today rarely appreciate their worth as performance pieces. To correct this oversight, chapter five illustrates the artistic showcases that the performance and recording of these works offer to seasoned performers. Despite their vital contribution to the harp community, scholars have too frequently ignored Hasselmans and Renié. This document seeks to encourage further biographical research and to inspire performance and recording of their works.
