Abstract Details

2015, PhD, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Theory.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Alberto Ginastera turned to twelve-tone composition. The personal twelve-tone language he developed during this time was largely an extension of the motivically-driven, sequentially-patterned, chromatic language he favored in his earlier, non-twelve-tone works. The primary objective of this study is twofold: (1) it illustrates the general characteristics of Ginastera’s compositional approach that remain consistent regardless of whether or not he uses a twelve-tone row as a point of departure; and (2) it demonstrates specific twelve-tone organizational strategies in the context of two of his earliest serial works, the Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 28 (1961) and Violin Concerto, Op. 30 (1963).
