AN ANNOTATED DATABASE OF 102 SELECTED PUBLISHED WORKS FOR TROMBONE REQUIRING MULTIPHONICS

DAVIDSON, MICHAEL MCKENNEY

Abstract Details

2005, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Trombone.
The purpose of this document is to provide a resource from which trombone instructors can obtain information about 102 published works for trombone that use the avant-garde technique of multiphonics, as generated through a variety of means. This annotated database will include general information about each published work that includes composer, title, arranger/editor (if appropriate), publisher, copyright date, commercial availability, range, trombone(s) required for performance, accompaniment instrumentation required, other performance requirements (electronics, mutes, specific venue, etc.), print quality, known misprints in the score or parts, level of difficulty, and a synopsis of the work. It will also include specific information on the multiphonics performance practice required such as the consonance or dissonance of the multiphonics produced, specific intervals to be sung, resultant chords, and tessitura of played and sung pitches. It will specify whether the performer must sing above or below the played pitch and if multiphonics are generated in other ways besides the more traditional method of simultaneous singing and playing, such as lip multiphonics, multiple sonorities produced with mutes, by varying the oral cavity shape, by vowel sounds, etc. In addition to the individual database record generated for each published composition, chapters will include a brief explanation, history, and science of multiphonics performance practice and an explanation of database categories. Compositions will be indexed by composer, chapter entry, trombone(s) required, and specific multiphonic performance technique. It is hoped that the information in this database will allow trombone professors and students to make informed decisions about the personal performance viability of a particular work.
