Abstract Details

2005, M.M., University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Theory.
This thesis examines the use of transformation approaches for Anton Webern’s the First Cantata Op.29, No.1. The thesis is divided primarily into two parts: the summary of a theory of transformation and analyses of Op.29, No.1, which is studied in a transformation attitude. After presenting the introduction, Chapter 1 summarizes a theory of transformation based on David Lewin’s analyses about Webern’s works, and it researches three different approaches of voice leading, especially focusing on Joseph Straus’s transformational attitude. Before getting to the analyses, Chapter 2 presents the background of Webern’s Cantatas No.1, Op.29 as a basic for understanding this piece. The main contents of Chapter 2 are Webern’s thought about Op.29 and the reason why he collected three different poems as one work. The highlight of this study, Chapter 3 contains the two kinds of analyses of the first movement of Webern’s Op.29. The first analysis is focused on transformations of Hexachords and is presented by constructing networks based on those transformaions. The second analysis is examined in terms of voice leadings in relation to “Uniformity, Balance, and Smoothness” of Straus’s concepts.
