Abstract Details

2014, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Flute.
Much of the research surrounding the Israeli-born, American Composer, Shulamit Ran (b. 1946), focuses on her fusion of Western and Middle-Eastern techniques, styles, and sonorities in her music. While the composer, herself, generally regards her music as naturally moving to this particular style, and downplays conscious decisions, it is evident that influences of Middle-Eastern music on her pieces exists more in active allusions. This document categorizes four main techniques and styles drawn from Middle-Eastern music, Middle-Eastern modes, microtonal effects, improvisational styles, and style from Middle-Eastern chamber music, and demonstrates their presence in Ran’s music. Three of Ran’s pieces for flute will be evaluated: East Wind for solo flute (1987), Mirage for piccolo/flute/amplified alto flute, B-flat clarinet, violin, cello, and piano (1990) and Voices for flute and orchestra (2000).
