Abstract Details

1999, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
The first part of this document explores the contributions made to music, research, and culture at large by three composers, Olly Wilson (b. 1937), Anthony Davis (b. 1951), and George Lewis (b. 1952). As all three of these composers are African Americans, their personal histories will be related to the larger history surrounding the development of music created and conceived by black people in America and the many issues that are brought to light in this music as compared to that of the dominant Anglo-Saxon culture in this country. In addition to determining a place in history for the three composers examined here, this document will also take on the implications their careers have for other African American composers as we enter the new millennium. The second part of the document is the score of the author’s composition, Reconstruction for Orchestra.
