3 iii ABSTRACT Christoher Dietz, Advisor Due to its longstanding lace in literature, Edgar Allan Poe s The Fall o the House o Usher lends itsel to many renewed interretations. In my setting, I have rovided a new ersective on the story by casting it through the lens o Madeline and writing music that evokes the gloomy atmoshere inherent in Poe s writing. The death o a beautiul woman is, unquestionably, the most oetical toic in the world, said Poe o his insiration (Kulewatz 009). He exlored this theme throughout his career, always ainting the dying or deceased emale as a silent entity. In The Fall o the House o Usher, Madeline is hysically seen only once beore her death and again as an aarition. In my setting, Poe s narrative is revealed through the oint o view o Madeline, giving emhasis to her untold side o the story. This brings a new ersective to a amiliar tale, while still enabling the reservation o the 1800s New England setting and the gloomy atmoshere. In classic horror ilms, every element o the set, acting and cinematograhy lends itsel to the creation o a melancholic mood. Roger Corman s ilms o several Poe stories are highly resected by other directors because o their gloomy aura and economy o material. To do justice to Poe s work, I have relied heavily on mood. This morose mood is achieved by basing the work on a ten-note row that is both stable and unstable. The row reresents the House o the Ushers, and the stability thereo through its use o ourths and seconds. The instability comes in the lack o consistent tonal centers the row necessitates. The use o secial orchestration techniques also serves the mood o the iece. For examle, Madeline s screams when she awakens to ind hersel in a coin are aired with cluster chords. The row and these techniques work together to give the oera a single, uniied atmoshere. Madeline Usher is imortant to my growth as a comoser. The methods o itch organization and orchestration emloyed not only suort the mood o the iece, but have become art o my comositional language.
