An Hisorical Perspective on Pere Valls: With a Sytlistic and Structural Analysis of Suite Andaluza

Schauer, Joseph Michael

Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
This study will focus on Spanish double bassist and composer, Pere Valls i Duran. Through both an investigation of his work and contributing historical factors, I will detail his significance to the development of a truly Spanish school of double bass. As a means of illustrating how his compositions make use of uniquely Spanish elements, thus creating a double bass repertoire distinct from that of other models, I will detail one of his most widely performed works, Suite Andaluza. This composition will be viewed in terms of illustrating conventions indicative of the Spanish school. To this end, special focus will be given to compositional tendencies as they relate to the pre-existing forms on which the suite is based. In this particular piece, there are four such forms which are represented in four distinct movements. These movements are; Serenata, Polo Gitano, Saeta, and Zapateado. As stated, these four movements are based on pre-existing forms and represent a valuable addition to the double bass repertoire.
