The substance of Kraft's Concerto For Timpani And Orchestra and a percussion recital
No full textThis thesis project is comprised of an essay entitled The Substance of Kraft's Concerto for Timpani and Orchestra and a percussion graduate recital presented on April24, 2010 at California State University, Northridge. The Concerto for Timpani and Orchestra by William Kraft (1983) is one of the most significant solo works for timpani with orchestral accompaniment. By understanding William Kraft the man, his writing style, and his contributions for percussion, it becomes evident how well suited Kraft was to write a timpani concerto, and how exemplary the work itself is. Also, being that there are many technical challenges involved in the performance of the piece, this essay also seeks to evaluate performance solutions by weighing the ideas of three timpanists who have performed the piece in the past. For the second portion of the thesis/artist project a recital program was performed involving six works including the following: Timpani Concerto No. 1 (movements I and III) by William Kraft, King of Denmark by Molton Feldman, Sonata in A minor - II Fuga (originally Sonata in G minor) by Johann Sebastian Bach from his Sonatas and Partitas for the violin, Two Mexican Dances by Gordon Stout, Promptings of the Spirit by Robert Normandie (world premiere performance), and Third Construction by John Cage.

TIMPANI DRUM SYNTHESIS IN 3D ON GPGPUS
No full textPhysical modeling sound synthesis for systems in 3D is a computationally intensive undertaking; the number of degrees of freedom is very large, even for systems and spaces of modest physical dimensions. The recent emergence into the mainstream of highly parallel multicore hardware, such as general purpose graphical processing units (GPGPUs) has opened an avenue of approach to synthesis for such systems in a reasonable amount of time, without severe model simplification. In this context, new programming and algorithm design considerations appear, especially the ease with which a given algorithm may be parallelized. To this end finite difference time domain methods operating over regular grids are explored, with regard to an interesting and non-trivial test problem, that of the timpani drum. The timpani is chosen here because its sounding mechanism relies on the coupling between a 2D resonator and a 3D acoustic space (an internal cavity). It is also of large physical dimensions, and thus simulation is of high computational cost. A timpani model is presented, followed by a brief presentation of finite difference time domain methods, followed bya discussion of parallelization on GPGPU, and simulation results

Acoustics of the orchestral kettledrum
No full textA complete theoretical overview of the acoustics of the kettledrum is taken. Starting with the well understood vibrations of a stretched circular membrane in a vacuum, the thesis goes on to investigate the deformation produced when the drum is struck and the subsequent behaviour of the system with time. The vibration of the membrane is modified by mass loading, by the hemispherical kettle, by the membrane's stiffness and by the air loading present; the latter is accounted for using a Green function technique. These effects produce significant changes to the frequencies of a freely vibrating system. The results are compared with those obtained experimentally, with good agreement. The most significant conclusions are that the air loading modifies the frequencies of vibration of those modes having only radial nodes to match the harmonic series, thereby creating a distinct sensation of musical pitch, and that the fundamental mode of vibration is damped completely
