Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Christopher Deane’s contributions to the realms of solo and chamber percussion music are vast and far reaching. His works receive countless performances every year by high school, collegiate, and professional musicians. That being said, discourse on Deane has focused entirely on his solo music. This document provides an in-depth examination on the compositional processes, performance implications, and pedagogical benefits of five of Deane’s published chamber percussion works. They include the following: The Manes Scroll, Scavenger Music, Vespertine Formations, Almost Perpetual Torque, and Marimba Quartet No.2 “Sensing the Coriolis.” Each chapter begins with background on one of the works, followed by a formal and thematic analysis, discussion of performance issues and extended techniques, pedagogical implications, and finally program notes from the composer or author. At the end, two appendices are provided, containing a list of Deane’s published percussion works and a discography of his percussion ensemble works. Ultimately, the author hopes to provide a resource for percussionists and educators looking to program one of Deane’s works.
