Essential excerpts for tuba from original works written for wind ensemble
Get PDF"The need for a standard course of study to assist in preparing students for military band auditions is apparent due to the current number of tuba positions in premier military service band organizations. This examination of Essential Excerpts for Tuba from Original Works Written for Wind Ensemble is intended to be an important document in the field of tuba performance and teaching for practice, preparation, and study of the original wind symphony literature written for tuba. The excerpts included in this text are selected based on a general survey created by the author. The Tuba Excerpt Survey, completed by retired and current premier military service band tuba players and select college and university tuba professors, generated a standard list of excerpts that produced the desired information that finalized the specified essential tuba excerpts to be included and reviewed in this document. By setting performance boundaries, inspecting the musical details of the excerpts, and separating an undergraduate curriculum into appropriate levels of study, a classification and distribution of the found scores and excerpts among different levels is established in this text. Upon examination of these excerpts, additional methodologies and corollary studies have been integrated into the paper to further facilitate student practice and preparation of these essential excerpts for tuba among original compositions written for the wind ensemble medium."--Abstract from author supplied metadata
Cross Training for Tuba: A Pedagogical Approach to Improving the Performance of Tuba Literature Through the Use of Transcriptions
Get PDFabstract: The modern day tubist has an expanded collection of solo tuba repertoire that continues to grow in quantity and in difficulty, making it necessary to utilize all the tools available to improve musicianship and performance ability. In this capacity, the use of transcribed material serves as a vital method of cross training in order to develop skills which assist the performance of modern tuba literature. Rather than focusing on transcriptions solely to engage with musical eras that the tuba would not otherwise have access to, the tubist can use transcribed material as supplementary or even prerequisite repertoire.
This project examines a cross training style of studying transcriptions for the advancing tubist. Similar to how athletes cross train in two or more sports to improve their abilities, the tubist may cross train with transcriptions in order to improve the technical and musical skills required in modern tuba literature. Transcribed materials will be used to develop facility in the areas of technique, phrasing, and stylistic interpretation using three unique pieces of standard solo tuba repertoire; Krzysztof Penderecki’s Capriccio, the John Williams Tuba Concerto, and Anthony Plog’s Three Miniatures.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201
Migration phenomenon contemporary ceramics in Turkey reflections on his art
Get PDFLisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Seramik Ana Sanat DalıGöç; geçmişten günümüze bireysel ya da kitlesel olarak gerçekleşen mekân değişikliğidir. Yaşanılan coğrafyayı zorunlu veya istekli terk ediştir. Göç sadece göçenleri değil, göç ettikleri yerdeki insanları da etkileyen bir durumdur. Kronolojik olarak incelendiğinde geçmişte olduğu gibi günümüz Türkiye'si de göç ve göçün getirdiği olumsuzluklardan etkilenen ülkeler arasındadır. Özellikle son yıllarda Türkiye'nin almış olduğu göçlerin, ülke içi siyasi ve sosyal yapıdaki dengeleri sarstığı söylenebilir. İstatiksel veriler ve gündemi oluşturan göç haberleri bu problemlerin hala çözüm sürecinde olduğunu ve göç etkisinin sıcaklığını korumaya devam ettiğini göstermektedir. Tüm bunlar göç politikasını mecbur kılmakta, göç yönetiminin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Literatür taramaları göçün; sosyolojiye, psikolojiye, siyasete, ekonomiye ve diğer birçok bilim dalına konu olduğu kadar farklı sanat dallarına da konu olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum toplumsal hareketliliklerden ve değişimlerden sanatçıların da etkilendiğinin göstergesidir. Dolayısıyla toplumsal olaylara yabancı kalmayan seramik sanatçıları da göçün etkilerini çağdaş seramik sanatına taşıyarak, eserleri üzerinden göçü anlatmayı amaçlamışlardır. Bu çalışmada göçün etkilerini yeni bir ifade alanına taşıyan seramik sanatçıları tespit edilerek, seramik sanatında göç olgusunun yorumlanabilirliği üzerine araştırmalar yapılmış ve göç temalı eserler incelenmiştir. Ayrıca göç kavramını konu edinen sanatçıların bir arada olduğu bir literatür çalışmasının gerekliliği göz önünde bulundurularak, disiplinlerarası bir çalışma ile literatüre katkı da bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma göç olgusunun kapsamlı ve karmaşık bir yapısı olması sebebiyle göçün genel anlamda tanımlamaları, nedenleri, çeşitleri, sonuçları, etkileri, Türkiye'deki güncel etkileri, beyin göçü ve çağdaş seramik sanatına yansımaları üzerinden sınırlandırılmıştır.

It is the compulsory or voluntary leaving of the inhabited geography. Migration is a situation that affects not only the immigrants, but also the people in the place where they migrate. When examined chronologically, today's Turkey, as in the past, is among the countries affected by immigration and the negative effects of immigration. It can be said that the migrations that Turkey has received in recent years have shaken the balances in the domestic political and social structure. Statistical data and the news of migration that set the agenda show that these problems are still in the solution process and the impact of migration continues to maintain its warmth. All of these compel the migration policy and reveal the necessity of migration management. Migrate literature searches; It shows that it is the subject of sociology, psychology, politics, economics, and many other branches of science as well as different branches of art. This is an indication that artists are also affected by social movements and changes. Therefore, ceramic artists who are not unfamiliar with social events have aimed to convey the effects of migration to contemporary ceramic art and to explain migration through their works. In this study, ceramic artists who carried the effects of migration to a new field of expression were identified, research were made on the interpretability of the phenomenon of migration in ceramic art and works with the theme of migration were examined. In addition, considering the necessity of a literature study with artists dealing with the concept of migration, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with an interdisciplinary study. Due to the comprehensive and complex nature of the phenomenon of migration, this study has been limited to the definitions of migration in general terms, its causes, types, effects, current effects in Turkey, results of migration, brain drain and its reflections on contemporary ceramic art. Key words: Contemporary art, Ceramics, Migration phenomenon, Social structure, Cultural change
Doubling on Euphonium and Tuba: A Guide for Euphonium Players
Get PDFAs a euphonium player there has basically been one viable career option: the military. However in the past ten years or so, more and more euphonium players have begun to seriously double on tuba in professional situations. This gives euphonium players a newfound career potential. While more and more euphonium players have been learning to play tuba, there is not yet a written method describing the best way in which to accomplish the task.;The purpose of this research project is to create a set of daily exercises through which a euphonium player may learn to play tuba. This method is designed to build and maintain a high level of skill on both the euphonium and tuba. The method is divided into four large sections: euphonium to BBb tuba doubling, euphonium to CC tuba doubling, euphonium to Eb tuba doubling, and euphonium to F tuba doubling. The author has included exercises derived from personal experience.;Interviews were also conducted with accomplished pedagogues in the United States regarding their approach to teaching the concurrent study of euphonium and tuba. The researcher has composed questions designed to get to the core of the fundamentals of multiple instrumental study. Issues of inquiry include physiological and psychological elements involved in performing on two different brass instruments.;Based on predetermined criteria, the subjects interviewed are Patrick Sheridan, Fritz Kaenzig, and David Zerkel
The Czech stage repertoire for tuba
Get PDFIn this paper I deal with compositions by Czech authors that contains tuba parts or tuba solos. The following pages contain a lot of interesting pieces of information about the compositions of various genres – from brass and classical music to jazz. Besides the factual information, concerning the origins of particular pieces, or the circumstances of the premieres, the thesis also contains short biographies of the composers. In my opinion the part called “A word from the Author” in particular is very profitable as it cites the composers’ own words about their pieces
Tuba rhetorica: storia di un’immagine fra tradizione letteraria ed epigrafica
No full textA long meta-rhetorical and meta-poetical tradition links the image of the tuba to the enhancement of the stylistic apparatus and expressive efficacy. This topic culminates in classicist Roman literature of 4th-5th century AD (Claudianus, Sidonius, Prudentius, Macrobius); an epigraphic poem (CLE 1403 + 1399 Bücheler) is affected by this cultural climate: the anonymous author uses an auditory metaphor (tuba rhetorica) to praise the excellent rhetorical training of the deceased young people
