Approaching the Performance of Experimental Music on the Flute

This dissertation serves as a commentary to two recitals: a recital of chamber music which took place in July 2014, and a solo recital in June 2015. The first chapter looks at the definition of experimental music and its characteristics through the exploration of writings by composers and performers, considering the selection of repertoire that abides by these ideas, along with a brief look at performance practice. The second chapter serves as a performance commentary to the chamber works Why Patterns? by Morton Feldman and Flutist and Guitarist by Christian Wolff. The third chapter serves as a performance commentary to the works Headlong by Christopher Fox and 947 by Alvin Lucier. Both the second and third chapter examine the composer’s aesthetic concerns, along with recordings and writings around experimental music to inform the performance approach. Finally the conclusion looks at the significance of the experimental performer and how a performer may approach future works

Tracing a certain slant of light--forming a personal philosophy and voice in music composition

"This thesis serves to examine philosophical and technical influences and their effect on the author's personal style of music composition. Specific composers, performers, and the influence of their respective practices in my thinking are considered. Selections of compositions from the author's catalogue are inspected, revealing such techniques in maturation. A discussion of my recent string quartet, tracing a certain slant of light, focuses on the application of these inspirational models."--Abstract from author supplied metadata
