Abstract Details

2006, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Conducting, Choral Emphasis.
Sofia Gubaidulina first gained world recognition on 30 May 1981 with the premiere of her violin concerto, Offertorium. Since then her reputation has grown rapidly. She has received numerous honors and awards, and she has also been the recipient of commissions from many of the foremost orchestras and festivals. However, the scholarly resources on Gubaidulina’s choral compositions are limited. This document provides a detailed guide to Gubaidulina’s St. John Passion based on the manuscript score revised in February 2004. There are three chapters included in this document. Chapter One introduces Gubaidulina’s general compositional approach. In the second chapter, a brief history of Passion musical settings is introduced, including the “Passion 2000” project commissioned by International Bachakademie Stuttgart and its artistic director Helmuth Rilling. Gubaidulina’s St. John Passion is one of four Passions commissioned for this project. In the core chapter, Chapter Three, each movement is discussed and includes the source of text, rehearsal preparations with formal analysis, rehearsal suggestions and performance suggestions.
