| Summary |
This document consists of three components. The first two components are paired: an original analysis on Pierre Boulez' Dérive 2, and a transcript of the student's conversation with conductor, Nicholas DeMaison. The original analysis breaks down a brief section of Dérive 2 (rehearsal 114-125) into the parameters of texture, rhythm, and pitch. Through this analysis it is discovered that the music follows a highly organized procedure governed by duration series and pitch series. The conversation with DeMaison delves into aspects of programming, perceiving, and preparing Dérive 2. This discussion was integral to the analysis. The third component is the Master's Composition Portfolio which includes a 2018- 2020 summation of the student's compositions, along with selected poems and scores. |
