Download or read book The Treatment of the Trumpet in Selected Jazz influenced Classical Chamber Works of the Twentieth Century written by Kathleen E. Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trumpet has always maintained a central role in the jazz genre. However, throughout the history of chamber music the trumpet was overlooked until the mid-twentieth century when brass chamber music and mixed chamber ensembles rose to popularity. An infiltration of the popular American style, jazz, into classical chamber music changed composers' treatment of the trumpet. This thesis focuses on the role and treatment of the trumpet in selected jazz-influenced classical chamber works in order to highlight that the trumpet's prominence in jazz helped to establish its place in twentieth-century chamber music. A brief history of classical brass chamber music and the origins and development of jazz is given. Trumpet performance techniques and compositional practices idiomatic to the different jazz style periods, ranging from ragtime to cool jazz, are given. These techniques are then traced through selected chamber music works of Stravinsky, Martinù, Schuller, Babbitt, and Wilson. Selected works were chosen based on the degree of jazz influence and are representations of the jazz style period they emulate. A comparison of how classical composers in Europe and the United States viewed the trumpet in jazz, in regards to chamber music, is detailed over the course of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of brass chamber music in lyceum and chautauqua fills a lacuna in brass history. It explores the forgotten phenomenon of the many chamber brass ensembles that entertained millions of Americans from coast to coast from 1877 to 1939 and presents histories of sixty-one ensembles that performed music for brass trio, brass quartet, brass quintet, and brass sextet for lyceum and chautauqua audiences. The author also writes about the large repertoire of music for small brass ensembles that he discovered was published in America from 1875 through the 1920s. This First American Chamber Brass School is discussed in one of five overviews of the principal eras in brass chamber music history that form the most comprehensive history of brass chamber music written in fifty years. Hardbound.

Book excerpt: While one can find a wealth of literature on the historical trumpet ensembles indicative of the Renaissance and Baroque eras, little information exists detailing the development of their modern counterpart. The modern trumpet ensemble refers to an ensemble made up of various types of valved trumpets, which can also include closely related instruments often performed by contemporary trumpeters, such as cornets or flugelhorns. For the sake of this document, a trumpet ensemble must have a minimum of at least four distinct written parts. Over the last several decades, this genre of brass chamber music has grown to span the globe with numerous students, professionals, and amateurs performing its repertoire each year. This document aims to outline how the genre developed and provide greater context to the individuals and entities that have had a profound impact on it. Starting at the turn of the 20th century, one can trace the origins of the modern trumpet ensemble to professional cornet and trumpet quartets active in the United States. While only a handful of these groups existed, they did present audiences with the earliest examples of trumpet ensemble music performed on valved instruments. Concurrent with these ensembles and up to the 1960s, a few composers also wrote a select number of works for trumpet ensemble though the genre remained obscure. Beginning in the 1960s and continuing in the 1970s, however, the modern trumpet ensemble began to take shape and expand as university programs created trumpet ensembles for their students and musicians formed the first contemporary professional groups. The founding of the International Trumpet Guild in 1975 also had a major impact as the organization committed itself to developing and legitimizing the genre. Over the next few decades, trumpet ensembles became a standard part of university prog rams across the United States, more professional ensembles came into existence, and the repertoire of trumpet ensemble music continued to increase. More recently, the founding of the National Trumpet Competition in 1991 and the creation of its trumpet ensemble division in 1997 has had a large impact on the genre by increasing the popularity and accessibility of trumpet ensemble music, raising the level of performance, and serving as an endless source of new repertoire. As of today, practically every trumpeter will participate in trumpet ensemble music in some capacity during their life making the genre a valued component of trumpet related music. The first chapter of this document will detail the historical trumpet ensembles of the past in order to provide context for how trumpet ensemble music existed for much of the instrument's history. After this discussion, the following chapters will focus on the history and influence of the three most impactful entities on the genre, the International Trumpet Guild, university programs and their participation in the National Trumpet Competition, and professional ensembles. Lastly, the document will conclude with a comprehensive bibliography of published repertoire for the modern trumpet ensemble to serve as a resource for those wishing to further engage this music.

This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Twentieth-Century Music in a Theoretic-Analytical Context is an integrated account of the genres and concepts of twentieth-century art music, organized topically according to aesthetic, stylistic, technical, and geographic categories, and set within the larger political, social, economic, and cultural framework. While the organization is topical, it is historical within that framework. Musical issues interwoven with political, cultural, and social conditions have had a significant impact on the course of twentieth-century musical tendencies and styles. The goal of this book is to provide a theoretic-analytical basis that will appeal to those instructors who want to incorporate into student learning an analysis of the musical works that have reflected cultural influences on the major musical phenomena of the twentieth century. Focusing on the wide variety of theoretical issues spawned by twentieth-century music, A History of Twentieth-Century Music in a Theoretic-Analytical Context reflects the theoretical/analytical essence of musical structure and design.

Download or read book The Trumpet Music of Eric Nathan written by David Wharton and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the trumpet works of composer Eric Nathan in terms of their technical and notational elements. This analysis develops an understanding of the musical vocabulary and techniques that will provide insight into the structure, style, and performance of this repertoire and in doing so to discover a historical perspective of the trumpet's role within solo and chamber music genres in the 21st century. Through this analysis, I suggest that Nathan's music pushed the technical, and therefore expressive boundaries of the instrument. While not exhaustive, the analysis of Cantus, Four Sculptures, and Toying will provide a good representative sample of Nathan's compositional approach towards music for trumpet. Developments in new music notation through the twentieth century will be examined along with a survey of how these developments are reflected in literature for the trumpet. Ultimately, this thesis considers how the convergence of notation and literature was key for the trumpet to secure a position as a solo instrument within the scope of western music practices. Nathan's music is the lens to undertake this exploration.

The authors offer abundant insights into the trumpet's repertoire, with detailed analyses of works by Haydn, Handel, and Bach, and fresh material on the importance of jazz and influential jazz trumpeters for the reemergence of the trumpet as a solo instrument in classical music today. Wallace and McGrattan draw on deep research, lifetimes of experience in performing and teaching the trumpet in its various forms, and numerous interviews to illuminate the trumpet's history, music, and players. Copiously illustrated with photographs, facsimiles, and music examples throughout, The Trumpet will enlighten and fascinate all performers and enthusiasts [Publisher description].
