Site and Sanctuary in Holocaust Memorial Compositions by Krzysztof Penderecki and Ruth Fazal

Hubley, Katherine Louise

Abstract Details

2009, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music History.
This interdisciplinary thesis seeks to show how musical Holocaust memorialworks that contain theatrical elements in the text and musical score fulfill a social psychological need and provide opportunities for collective cathartic experience for the listener. The study draws on the academic fields of aesthetics, musicology, German history, theater and performance studies, Jewish and Christian religious studies, psychological trauma theory, and literature and the environment studies. I focus on two contrasting compositions, Dies Irae by Krzysztof Penderecki and Oratorio Terezin by Ruth Fazal. Through textual and musical analysis, I illustrate how the experience of hearing performances of these works is analogous to a current therapeutic approach for working through the effects of mass trauma.
