Submitting Assignments • Electronic only • Due by class time • If you want to resubmit, address the comments and questions that are returned to you • Use something like “344 – Audition resubmit” as email subject and “Lastname Audition Resubmit 2” as the file name • Keep my comments in the resubmission (and track your changes if possible) so I can see how you changed it
Lists, Resources, and Guides • University Interscholastic League (UIL) Lists: http://www.utexas.edu/uil/pml/browse • How should we use lists? • Frank Battisti – “our profession is somewhat listed to death” • We have a professional responsibility to carefully evaluate literature • Teaching Music Through Performance in… • Band • Orchestra
Literature Selection and Evaluation • Many details to consider – see outline (on Compass) • What are directors looking at when they look through scores at Midwest, a music store, or through their libraries? • Planning Tools • “One-minute Drill” – what will you look for? • Repertoire checklist
Other Resources • What are other ways to find good literature? • Additional resources • “Gems of the Jazz Repertoire” – on Compass • “Commissioning New Works for Band” – on Compass
For Next Week • Review “Selecting Repertoire” (Jagow) for our next discussion • Start practice analysis for Greek Folk Song Suite, Movement 1 (see score and sample template on Compass) • Apply Ostling and Q-factor too for discussion • Will discuss methods more on Monday • Will discuss GFSS with three methods of analysis on Wednesday (email your grid)
MUS 344: Teaching of Instrumental Music Literature Selection 2
Three Guides • Jagow (2007) - Q-factor • Grid Analysis • Ostling (1978) – 10 questions
Jagow (2007) Q-Factor • A good initial analysis of literature (quantifying) • Harmonic structure • Melodic content: contour, shape, interaction with harmony, melodic components, leaps and jumps are contextual • Formal craftsmanship • Originality • Emotional value • Composer quality • Educational value
Grid Analysis (see Curnow on Compass) Formal: Intro Phrasal: Measures 1-8; (8) 4 + 4 Color: brass fanfare with sustained WW (trills, then runs); Low band on rhythmic pseudo-arpeggios as transitions into next mini-phrase Dynamics: ff; forte-piano crescendo, some variation Style:Maestoso, accented Other: Important interactions or rehearsal considerations?; sextuplets; triplets contrast with 16ths; lip gliss in horns, chords in brass (special issues?); multiple tonguing; Timp. tuning
Ostling (1978) • Now that you have analyzed, what does this mean? • Form: structure, framework • Is there contrast and repetition? (“music is the same or it is different”) • Scoring: Instrumentation • Is it effective? Is there contrast? • Creativity • Is it interesting and unique? Cliché? • Style • Consistent style? Good quality throughout? Variety of colors?
For Wednesday We will discuss the following analyses for Greek Folk Song Suite, Movement 1(email grid, bring a copy to discuss): Q-Factor Grid Analysis Ostling paragraph Audio example of GFSS, Mvt. 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bchFcd3KzY&feature=related
