The Eccentric Compositional Style of Mark Applebaum: An Analysis of his Acoustic Percussion Works
No full textMark Applebaum is an American composer and Professor of Composition at Stanford University who has made significant contributions to contemporary music. His music has been performed all over the world and his popularity as a composer continues to increase. The experimental nature of his music and his continual innovation and creativity makes his music worthy of study. However, there has been no scholarly research done on his music. Because of this void, a study of his music is needed and would be valuable to both performers and scholars alike.
The oeuvre of Mark Applebaum is vast and includes music written in traditional mediums as well as those that are unorthodox. The author has chosen to limit the focus of this document to nine acoustic percussion works. Using these selected works, this document will provide an analysis of certain compositional traits that illustrate the composer’s eccentric compositional style. Applebaum has written many other pieces for chamber ensembles and, large ensembles, as well as electro-acoustic compositions that contain similar compositional traits, as well as exceptional percussion writing. While in general these works are beyond the scope of this document, some will be referenced briefly if they are pertinent to the concepts being discussed.
As of the date of completion of this paper, there is no existing research on these works and it is intended that the document may be used in further research of the music of Mark Applebaum. In addition, given that this document focuses on Mark Applebaum’s acoustic percussion works, it is the writer’s hope that it will be a valuable source of information in the percussion community.
The document is divided into five chapters. Chapter one contains a biography of Mark Applebaum as well as an introduction to his music. Chapter two focuses on specific compositional ideas that illustrate Mark Applebaum’s unorthodox method of composition. This involves an analysis of four major percussion works, each of which were constructed using compositional ideas that involve a complex process of generating musical material. Chapter three focuses on ways that rhythm and meter are used with examples taken from several works. Chapter four focuses on the use of indeterminacy and improvisation. Finally, chapter five will take a detailed look at the visual and theatrical elements found in much of Mark Applebaum’s music
Elusive matter, material bodies: American art in the age of electronic mediation, 1865-1918
No full textThis dissertation examines how American art engaged new electronic media during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, when techno-utopian desires for global harmony and interconnection surged throughout American culture, encouraged by the advent of the electromagnetic telegraph. While the fluid transmission of information over vast distances offered the democratic ideal of interconnectedness, its dematerialized process eluded public understanding. Responding to this tension, artists and craftsmen of the period adapted new communicative strategies and formal languages to traditional materials and modes of creative expression—from landscape and genre paintings to quilts and decorative desk sets—to help translate this elusive process into material form. By approaching these practices as both artistic mediums and communication media (through the lens of media theory and material culture studies), my project addresses the broader cultural implications of social technologies during the period, still relevant in our current digital age—the porousness of domestic and national boundaries; questions of access and privacy; and the development of global markets and power structures within these seemingly egalitarian spaces. My research contributes to a growing investment across the humanities in the aesthetics—and material manifestation—of electronic media. Within the field of art history, this investment has predominately been devoted to the emergence of the information age and the implementation of New Media in contemporary art practices. My project, however, investigates the understudied formative stage in electronic media. While the prevailing narratives on social technologies in this period address the way in which devices like the telegraph contributed to a new anti-pastoral content in visual culture through the portrayal of telegraph poles and wires, I examine how a diverse range of creative expressions by Frederic Church, Enoch Wood Perry, and Louis C. Tiffany theorized the social impact of communication technologies, as acts of transmission themselves. Beginning in 1865, with the imminent completion of the transatlantic telegraph, and ending in 1918, with the rise of AT&T, this dissertation revises existing notions of how the period’s art communicates to viewers across time and space.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Lauren Applebaum, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-17 at 13:55.The student, Lauren Applebaum, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-04-17 at 14:44.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-04-19 at 12:20.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13719 on 2019-08-22 at 16:23:05Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:47:33Z (GMT).

The relationship between physical work environmental factors, perceived stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intention among inpatient acute care nurses
No full textThe healthcare community needs to be concerned about nursing turnover intention and the effect on the projected nursing shortage. The evaluation of nursing turnover intention and the association between turnover intention and various predictors needs to be determined. Job satisfaction and perceived stress have been identified to influence the intention to turnover. In addition, environmental factors (i.e. odor, noise, and light) may influence perceived stress and job satisfaction. This study tested theoretical relationships between the dependent variables of perceived stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intention and each of the independent variables of (a) odor, (b) noise, and (c) light.
The sample was comprised of 116 full-time registered nurses who worked on the medical-surgical unit of a 588 bed Level 1 trauma center located in northern New Jersey. Hypothesis testing employed correlational and regression statistical techniques.
Statistically significant relationships were found between perceived stress and job satisfaction (r =.549, p =.000), job satisfaction and turnover intention (r = .740, p = .000), perceived stress and turnover intention (r =.336, p =.000), and perceived level of odor and job satisfaction (r = -.272, p =.003). The relationships between perceived stress and job satisfaction, job satisfaction and turnover intention, and perceived stress and turnover intention were anticipated due to the strong theoretical and empirical evidence supporting these relationships.
Although a specific hypothesis was not proposed to combine all independent variables to explain the dependent variable of turnover intention, all independent variables were added to a regression model using backward regression. Backward regression was used because none of the independent variables were strong predictors of turnover intention. The environmental factors did not contribute significantly to the variance in turnover intention. Likewise, perceived stress offered little contribution. Finally, level of light and job satisfaction, together, explained 56% of the variance in turnover intention.D.P.H.Includes bibliographical references (p. 69-77)by Diane Helen Applebau
The stylistic traits of Charles Griffes's piano music: "Roman Sketches", Op. 7 and Piano Sonata (1917--1918)
No full textLike most composers, Charles Griffes's piano works display certain recurring stylistic traits. These traits transcend the three periods in which his music is categorized. A comparison of two of his best known piano works, Roman Sketches, Op. 7 and the Piano Sonata (1917--18), illustrates the significant compositional techniques that he continued to use as his style matured. Examples from other piano works are included in this document although the focus is primarily on these two. The comparisons also highlight the traits that Griffes added or abandoned in his later years.*
