Abstract Details

2018, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Flute.
Claude Bolling (1936–), Nikolai Kapustin (1937–), and Mike Mower (1958–) are three living composers who have borrowed from jazz idioms to create works that are popular among performers and listeners. This document will explore selected flute chamber works by these three composers. It will demonstrate their jazz borrowings by comparing selections from the jazz repertoire to selected passages from these works, and explaining these passages within the context of jazz stylistic idioms and nomenclature. These examinations will demonstrate similarities and differences in how these composers borrow from the jazz idiom. Claude Bolling uses a more traditional jazz harmonic language and avoids bimodal vocabulary, but he asks musicians to improvise and juxtaposes jazz styles with passages inspired by historical music styles. Kapustin and Mower’s compositions include elements such as tritone substitutions and harmonic upper extensions like 9ths, 11ths, 13ths. Moreover, Kapustin and Mower borrow formal structures and harmonic progressions from the jazz repertoire for their compositions, showing dialogue with the jazz tradition.
