The Merger of Jazz and Twentieth Century: A Performance Analysis of Donald Matino’s A Set for Clarinet

Wunch, Rebecca Lynn

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music Theory.
A knowledgeable performance comprises of several components; it involves facets concerning the composer and patterns found in music. This thesis examines Donald Martino’s A Set for Clarinet from those angles to create an informed performance analysis. However, before addressing analysis or performance, this paper begins with historical background relevant to the creation of the piece and its constituents. This research and the analytical tools and methods link to the theoretical analysis in chapter 4. In this chapter, several graphical representations assist in the cohesion of each movement, independently and holistically. Later these illustrations aid in the various interpretations to support or oppose the analysis. Prior to this, chapter 5 presents research and material on performance analysis in preparation for chapter 6 where the performance decisions come to fruition. This chapter employs and compares four performers, Jonathan Cohler, Michael Webster, Michael Parola, and Rebecca Wunch, to the data presented earlier in the thesis. Ultimately, the goal is to construct a knowledgeable performance as a result of the endeavors of the performer.
