Dever Joseph Schwantner 2015 2016
Performed at my senior recital at UNC's Frasier Hall on April 28th, 2016. Written for viola, this is the premiere performance on cello by the amazing Brett Andrews. Soliloquy was written in early 2015. It was one of the very first projects I worked on with my professor Dr. Paul Elwood. It was first formulated from a project I had in a digital composition course I was taking at the university. The project was to create a 90 second to 3 minute track using recordings and editing them in a DAW (in this case, Digital Performer). I enlisted my colleague and fellow composer Abi Evans to help get some recordings. She would play very brief passages on the viola using many different extended techniques. I manipulated those recordings with various filters and samplers to create the electronic background for the solo instrument. Originally, my intent was for the electronics accompaniment to purely be edited samples from a live viola that I recorded. Eventually I decided to include an excerpt from a viola concerto as well as a few small effects (like a noise filter near the beginning) to further flesh out the piece. Compositionally, I really wanted to explore the interesting different extended techniques string instruments could perform. I was also very inspired by composers like Joseph Schwantner being able to utilize pitch sets and serial concepts in more tonal leaning compositions. With that idea in mind I decided to make a reverse 12 tone inspired piece where instead of the row being defined at the beginning before being adapted and augmented, I began with a pitch set and more octatonic passages that slowly opened up more into atonal serialism by the end. The row, and one variation, are only stated in full at the very end of the piece. Higher quality audio can be found at my Soundcloud page: (http•••) Thank you for listening!

Velocities - Joseph Schwantner Performer: Doug Perry Velocities (moto perpetuo) for solo marimba by Joseph Schwantner was commissioned by the Percussive Arts Society with a National Endowment for the Arts Consortium Commissioning Grant, It was written for Leigh Howard Stevens, along with William Moersch and Gordon Stout. According to the composer, the music is characterized by a continuously unfolding texture of rapid gestures within a framework of continually shifting meters. It is very reminiscent of minimalism, and requires almost viruosic playing ability at times.
