This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the string literature of American composer and violist Louise Lincoln Kerr. A biography of Mrs. Kerr is given, emphasizing compositional training and skill, her style of composition, contributions to musical organizations in the Phoenix area, and her donation of the Kerr Cultural Center and her manuscripts to the Arizona State University College of Fine Arts. Selected string compositions are examined for their historical significance, compositional style, performer accessibility, and significance to the repertoire. Kerr made use of Native American and Spanish folk melodies in some of her compositions in a Southwest Impressionist genre. It is the findings of this study that Louise Kerr made significant contributions to the string repertoire and that these works should be edited and published for all to enjoy. Five character pieces for viola and piano are edited in this dissertation in preparation for publication. An entire chapter is devoted to the analysis of the Kerr Violin Concerto, including the influences, harmonic content, and formal aspects of this work. Louise Lincoln Kerr's compositions, as well as compositions by other women composers, comprise "undiscovered treasures" for the violist and the string player. In past centuries, women composers and violists have suffered equally in discrimination and neglect. Historically, women have been denied the opportunity for compositional training, had their creative acumen publicly challenged, and their works rejected for publication on the basis of their sex. Today, women composers are among the most exciting research topics in musicology.

Download or read book A Study of Twentieth century Violin and Viola Duos written by Conrad David Bruderer and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a distinct genre and subject, twentieth-century violin and viola duos have not been examined in depth or detail. Existing catalogues which list works for this ensemble are imcomplete and historical information concerning the genre as a whole is sparse. Only a few brief articles concerning twentieth-century violin and viola duos and one analysis of a work have been publised. The genre is even considered by many to be of non-standard instrumentation. Yet, the combination of violin and viola is unquestionably viable and has been chosen as a means of expression by at least 360 composers during this century alone. Over 400 modern works for the combination have been written and scores and/or parts for approximately 200 of these duos are readily available. In addition, recordings of 26 compositions have been released commercially. This dissertation addresses the under-researched topic of twentieth-century violin and viola duos. First it is show that the topic has not been adequately studied and possible reasons for this are given. Second, the musical function of duos is discussed and a historical groundwork is established which traces duo literature from the seventeenth century. An overview of the modern violin and viola duos follows. Next, critical reviews of 202 works and a discograpy of recorded duos, both commercial and non-commercial, precede a list of titles, composers, publishers and referential listings of over 400 violin and viola duos. Finally, analyses of seven of the more prominent twentieth-century violin and viola duos are presented.
