My Music and Helmut Lachenmann's Concept of Sound

Lin, Chih-Liang

Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
The first part of this document is a study of German composer Helmut Lachenmann’s concept of sound. The paper illustrates three periods of Lachenmann’s music according to the changes he made to his musical style. During the second period, he uses the concept of musique concrete instrumentale to explore extended performance techniques and energy of sound to create a vast palette of new sounds. Also, his essay “Klangtypen der Neuen Musik” explains five sound-types based on different musical sonorities. These musical aesthetics form the basis of his composition and inspire a younger generation of composers towards sound-world composition. The second part of this document presents three of my chamber works: Gone from My Sight (2014) for solo piano, Tamer (2014) for b-flat clarinet, violin and piano, and Footfalls in Memories (2015) for piano quintet. The discussion of these three pieces includes the use of extended performance techniques, musical structure, and the influence of Lachenmann’s concept of sounds.
