". A Senior Composition Recital: A Composer's Lesson in Music as a Language An Honor Thesis (MUSTH 495 - HONRS 499) by Michelle Yaiser - Thesis Advisor: David Foley Ball State University Muncie, Indiana February 1995 May 1995 " (1 , :",)\.....D I, ~,(!:.~ !_-; 7 D 1.- (). 1/ '3'-i -2-9' Purpose of Thesis Music has always been a very important part of my life. There are many times I can recall in which music has "moved" me or I have watched it "move" others. Music has the power to affect people in many different ways. It has been said that music can soothe the savage beast and Henry Vv Longfeliow once wrote: "Music is the universal language of mankind." Based on these ideas, I decided I would try to write programmatic pieces for my recital to see if I could tell a story and express emotions through notes rather than words. Four of the five pieces on my recital are based on some sort of story or poem. T • Acknowledgements - ~. Thanks to Dr. Cleve L. Scott, David Foley, and Armando Tranquilino for teaching me how to use the necessary compositional tools, encouraging me to try new ideas, and for telling me when I just needed to start from scratch. Special thanks to Michael Gagliardo for the many hours of hard work, frustration, and advice, and to my musicians for the time and effort they put into the performance. l'd also like to thank Harry Van Aken for writing the poem that inspired one of my pieces and for being a true friend through everything. And thank you to my family for the support that helped me get through the whole process. I \~ ':;~) • basis for me, this difficulty made writing the piece a learning experience and a struggle. The text heard in the fifth movement is based on excerpts from T.S. Eliot's poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock in his Prufrock And Other Observations collection of 1917. And indeed there will be time ... There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for aU the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me ... And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and "Do I dare?" ) • '" • I Michelle Yaiser has studied composition with Cleve Scott, David Foley and Armando Tranquilino, and is a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, International Academic Fraternity for women in the field of music.

Series XLIX Number 117 Michelle Yaiser (b.1973) Children's Songs was completed as a project for MUMET325-Sound Synthesis 1 in the fall of 1993. It is based on a poem by e e cummings which was one of the requirements of the project. I created the piece by sampling Joey Bandt reading the poem, a group of school children at play, and sounds around campus. I then took the samples into the studio and transferred them to the Ensoniq EPS sampler to actually put the piece together using many of the different manipulation techniques available. Joey is the son of Aoz Bandt, an Australian sound sculptor who was here at the time of the project and with whom I had the privilege to work. Two peach roses to symbolize you and I, And one for the emotions we share together. One rose for the times we have had in the past, And one rose for those times in the future when you are in my arms. PAUlS HALL Friday, February 17,1995 5:30 p.m. MICHELLE YAISER in a SENIOR HONORS COMPOSITION RECITAL Children's Songs (1993) for stereo tape A Knight's Gift to His Princess And one last pale peach rose for the world we share together. -Harry Thomas VanAken BALL STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS SCHOOL OF MUSIC eyes know if a little tree listens forever to always children singing forever a song made of silent as stone silence of song -e e cummings ) I f Children'S Songs was previously programmed on the first evening of the Threshold Concerts last November. I programmed it again on this recital because it is one of my first real attempts at electronic composition and composition in general. I wanted to show what I have accomplished in the time since this piece was completed. I also programmed it for another reason. I chose the poem originally because I liked it better than most of the other poems I had read by e e cummings. However, this past semester I was enrolled in ENG390 - "Once Upon a Time: The Art of Fairy Tales." In this class, we not only read various versions of the t~les, but looked at the different roles they played in various cultures throughout history. Often, the tales were a very special form of communication and sharing between family and friends and could be an important part of childhood. When listening to Children's Songs on the November concert, I realized that music was often a special form of sharing and also played an important role in childhood. Songs are a part of many of the games children play and activities they do, parents sing lullabies to their children, and many lessons are taught using a song. I remembered how my dad would sing to me when I went to bed--The Little Fishies, Tie a Yellow Ribbon (Round the Old Oak Tree), and Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head were some of my favorites.--and how my mom always had the radio or record player on when I came home from school and we would sing along together. These times are happy memories for me and were an important part of my childhood. In the rush of classes, rehearsals, recitals, and practicing, I think that at times as music students and teachers whose lives are somewhat dictated by music, we lose touch with the specialness that music can create in the simple things in life. I reprogrammed Children's Songs not only to show my advancement in composition, but to remind the audience (and me) what an important par( music can play in our lives. \ By each spot the most unholyIn each nook most melancholy,There the traveler meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the PastShrouded forms that start and sigh As they pass the wanderer byWhite-robed forms of friends long given, In agony, to the worms - and Heaven. By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where Eidolon, named Night, On a black throne reigns upright. I have journeyed home but newly From an ultimate dim Thule. For the heart whose woes are legion ( Two Together was composed as a duet for an instrument I knew much about (clarinet) and an instrument I knew absolutely nothing about (cello). I really wanted to write for a string instrument because I had never even seen string music and decided I really wanted to learn something by writing this piece. I chose the cello because of its rich, full sound which I thought would combine with the clarinet very nicely. The overall structure of the piece is based on two-seconds, sevenths, and multiples of two bar phrases. Land of Thule is based on a poem called "Dreamland" by Edgar Allan Poe, one of my favorite authors. I composed it using original synthesized voices and stock instrumental voices on the Yamaha TG77, TX81Z, TX816, and the Korg Wavestation. I sampled the breathing onto OAT and was able to put it into the piece using Digital Performer. Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods, With forms that no man can discover For the dews that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters - lone and dead,- Their still waters - still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily. l Dawn (1994) for stereo tape A Knight's Gift to his Princess (1994-1995) You Me Together Past Future Our World Sandra Melchoir, flute· Andrew Mellang, clarinet Danielle McKee, French horn - Nathan Miley, cello Marc Coulomb, Jim Green, Brad Gunyon, percussion Rebecca Justus, Angela Miller, Amanda Sturgell, Natalie Turner, soprano Stacy Chambers, Elise Johnston, Tammie Phillips, Megan Prifogle, Shannon Wyels, alto Richard Koons, Manaswi Roy, Ervin Walter, tenor Andrew Crum, Cory Estby, Gary Reynolds, bass Michael Gagliardo, conductor Land of Thule (1995) for stereo tape Bya route obscure and lonely, Haunted by III angels only, Where Eidolon, named Night, On a black throne reigns upright. I have reached my home but newly From an ultimate dim Thule. By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead,Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily,By the mountain - near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,By the grey woods, - by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp, By the dismal tarns and pools Where dwell the Ghouls.- By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where Eidolon, named Night, On a black throne reigns upright, I have wandered home but newly From an ultimate dim Thule. -Edgar Allan Poe Dawn was originally realized using original synthesized voices on a DX-? and a tape machine. It was later redone using the TX-816 and Digital Performer. It is based on the idea that although a sunrise may be a very peaceful time of the day, it is also a neverending cyclical battle between dark and light. As the sun struggles to rise above the horizon, the night struggles to maintain its hold on the world. This cyclical process can be found in every aspect of life. Two Together (1993) Andrew Mellang, clarinet - Nathan Miley, cello Bya route obscure and lonely. Haunted by ill angels only, Where Eidolon, named Night, On a black throne reigns upright. I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim ThuleFrom a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of Space - out of Time. Tis - of 'tis an Eldorado! But the traveler, traveling through it. May not - dare not openly view it; Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed; So wills the King, who hath forbid The uplifting of the fringed lid; And thus the sad Soul that here passes Beholds it but through darkened glasses. ( A Knight's Gift to His Princess is based on a poem that was written for me by Harry Thomas VanAken when he sent me a half dozen peach roses when we first started dating three years ago. At the time, I "melted" and have cherished the poem ever since. While studying with Armando Tranquilino, I thought the poem could serve as an inspiration for a piece. He agreed and I began to write the first movement, and sketch the themes for the second and third movements. While writing it, he had me study and listen to different compositional techniques that were used to convey emotions and situations - i.e., major key for happiness, minor key for sadness. A year later, the final product is a much larger work than I had originally anticipated. I also found that it was more difficult to express pure emotion in music than I had originally anticipated. Since the piece has such an emotional 1:wo 1:oge:lhe,,. A Vuet fO,.

I hope this finds everything going well for you as the semester Thank you for agreeing to participate in the performance of Michelle Yaiser's "A Knight's Gift To His Princess" on her senior composition recital.

I have established the following rehearsal schedule for the piece: Monday, January 30 Monday, February 6 Monday, February 13 3:50 - 4:30 pm 3:50 - 4:30 pm 3:50 - 4:30 pm MU401 MU401 MU401 For one of these rehearsals (probably the one on 2/13), I will attempt to have the musicians who are playing on this movement present so you can get a feel for how the piece will work with instrumentalists, rather than piano. Because of the nature of the piece and of the instrumentalists' and your schedules, it will probably be necessary for you to attend one of the instrumentalists' rehearsals. The rehearsal schedule for the instrumentalists has not been set yet, but will be established by next Tuesday (1/31). I will let you know at that time when we will plan on having you attend one of these rehearsals. If you are unable to be in attendance at the Monday rehearsals but would still like to participate in the performance, please keep in mind that there will be this additional - rehearsal plus a dress rehearsal for you to attend.
