Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite achieving success in other genres, several twentieth-century American composers have piano works that have not yet entered the standard repertory. The main purpose of this DMA Document is to advocate for seven modern American piano works and to encourage musicians—especially pianists—to pay more attention to lesser-known music of American composers in the twentieth century in programming their recitals and concerts. This document examines seven piano compositions for solo piano and two pianos. The piano solo pieces are: Five 2-Part Invention by Virgil Thomson; Four Pieces for Piano by John Verrall; Three Piano Pieces, Op. 23 by Ben Weber; Capriccio on Five Notes by Lee Hoiby; and Three Epigrams by Robert Palmer. The pieces for two pianos with four hands are: Hard Times and Carnival by Isadore Freed and The Fringes of a Ball by Robert Starter. These works were all composed during the mid-twentieth century. I write this document also through my own analyses, a recorded performance, and a (teaching) performance guideline of Lee Hoiby’s Capriccio on Five Notes. The seven American composers both embraced tradition and sought innovation. Their music existed in a space between the “inside” and the “outside.” In Chapter 1, I trace the development of music in the United States in the twentieth century. In Chapter 2, I discuss the topics of “American Music,” “American Mavericks,” and “American Pragmatism,” and briefly outline the biographies of some iconic American composers. Chapter 3 presents the biographies of the seven American composers and analyses of the chosen piano works. I analyze the tonality, harmony, dynamics, structure, and style of these seven American piano pieces, in order to examine their status between the “inside” and the “outside.” Chapter 4 is a performance guide for Lee Hoiby’s Capriccio on Five Notes from a pianist’s perspective. Chapter 5 elaborates on the conclusion that these piano works exist between the “inside” and the “outside,” and extols the benefits of programming American modern music.

Download or read book Music Musique written by Barbara Meister and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music Musique is a study of American and French composers active in the late 19th through early 20th centuries and the influence of jazz on their compositional styles. Starting with a look at the formation of American and French styles of composition, Meister discusses the jazz influence on American composers such as Ives, Copland, and Seeger, and their reception in France. She then takes a parallel look at the jazz influence on prominent French composers such as Ravel, Milhaud, and Messiaen, with a conclusion that briefly outlines post--World War II musical developments. Considerable attention is paid to the social and political worlds in which these artists lived and created. Of particular interest is the community of Afro-American jazz musicians who settled in Paris after World War I, and their influence on the likes of Ravel, Milhaud, Satie, and other artists with New Orleans--based styles. Meister also discusses the more famous coteries of American writers who lived and worked in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. The stories of these two groups of Americans in Paris form a fascinating background to the main topic of the book. Music Musique is intended for amateurs and experts alike; it provides ideas about repertoire as well as information about compositions that are likely to be heard in performance. The emphasis of the text is always on the piano solo literature or other piano music -- song accompaniments, piano duets, or internal orchestral piano parts.
