Download or read book The Influence of Early Music on the Compositional Style and Performance of Selected Works of Randall Thompson written by Kevin M. Klotz and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composer and conductor Randall Thompson (1899–1984) had a significant impact on choral music in America during the twentieth century. While his contemporaries were striking out in more progressive directions, Thompson held true to his core belief that one should write singable music that is accessible to all types of ensembles. Works like Alleluia, The Last Words of David, The Peaceable Kingdom, and Frostiana continue to be cherished by singers and audience members alike. Thompson had a keen interest in and admiration for early music, which influenced his approach to choral composition. This essay investigates Thompson’s connection to Renaissance and Baroque music, beginning with his initial training at Harvard. The study then explores three areas of Renaissance and Baroque composition (sixteenth-century imitative styles, and Baroque fugal counterpoint and polychoral textures) and demonstrates their influence on selected works of Thompson. Primary source material is included from the Randall Thompson Papers at Houghton Library at Harvard University. In the final section, the essay briefly discusses how connections between early music and Thompson might impact the performance of Thompson’s choral works.

Download or read book The Musical World of Halim El Dabh written by Denise A. Seachrist and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egyptian-born composer Halim El-Dabh has studied with the giants of 20th-century musical composition and conducting, including Leopold Stokowski, Irving Fine, and Leonard Bernstein. In the late 1950s El-Dabh worked with electronic music pioneers Otto Luening and Vladimir Ussachevsky at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. He was commissioned by choreographer and modern dance innovator Martha Graham to write the music for Clytemnestra and Lucifer. Although this biography focuses on his career from his arrival in the US in 1950 to his retirement from the faculty of Kent State University in 1991, his life in Egypt, its influence on him musically, and his creative life after retirement is also covered. In March 2002 El-Dabh presented a concert of his electronic and electro-acoustic works and three concerts of his orchestral chamber music in collaboration with the Bibliotheca Alexandrina String Orchestra at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (the famous Library of Alexandria of antiquity). The accompanying CD features excerpts of this programme.
