Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Daniel Levitan’s percussion works are performed by collegiate and professional percussion ensembles and soloists around the world. Several of his works have become standards of the repertoire for percussion chamber music, such as Conservatory Garden, Septet, and Marimba Quartet. Although Levitan’s percussion music is performed frequently, there is a lack of reference materials and information about his unpitched percussion chamber compositions. This document provides a brief discussion on six of Levitan’s most performed unpitched percussion chamber works: Trio, Variations on a Ghanaian Theme, Septet, Conservatory Garden, Canon at the Bar, and Eight Two-Part Inventions. General background information, a brief analysis of points of interest, and performance suggestions are provided for each of the compositions. The purpose of this document is to serve as a reference for performers, educators, and composers seeking more information about Daniel Levitan and his unpitched percussion chamber works.
