Abstract Details

2007, M.M., University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Theory.
This study investigates ways that transpositional combination (TC) can be used to enhance our understanding of the pitch, form, and extra-musical elements of George Crumb’s Vox Balaenae and Lux Aeterna. Through TC, this thesis develops the idea that Crumb’s music often contains basic pitch material from which larger sets or collections are generated, and that this process is often allied with other musical elements. Chapter one approaches Vox Balaenae through a perspective that appreciates how small pitch-class sets interact with referent pitch collections. This interaction is related to extra-musical ideas that accompany the composition. Chapter two focuses on the details of the TC process. As an analytical cornerstone, this chapter applies new concepts to an analysis of musical form in Lux Aeterna in order to show how the smallest details of the generative process impact the overall form of the piece in a significant way.
