12 CHATER I Introduction There Arises Light is a ork or orchestra in one movement by Michael S Taylor The title o the ork is taken rom salm 112 (see Aendix A) The author o the salm describes the blessed state o the righteous man and the ultimate hoe that he has in the midst o dark and earul surroundings Vs, "Unto the uright there arises light in the darkness," contains articular relevance to the comosition, as ell as vs 11, hich triumhantly claims: "His horn ill be exalted ith honor" There Arises Light is not only an exression o the comoser's on dee inard struggles ith ear and darkness, but a claim on the ultimate victory over these struggles The comositional elements that ill be examined include: orm, melody, harmony, rhythm, and texture The comositions beteen hich comarisons ill be made are: Third Symhony in One Movement by Roy Harris, Symhony No 2 by Hoard Hanson, Symhony No by aul Creston, Symhony No 5 in D Maor by Ralh Vaughan Williams, Dance Suite by B éla Bart ók, Symhony in Three Movements by Igor Stravinsky, and Gloria by rancis oulenc These comositions and comosers, historically inluential in the early to mid art o the century, contribute a solid oundation o comositional techniques used in There Arises Light Thereore, it is imortant to note their individual contributions to the context o the ork and examine any similarities The connections that may be dran are many Hoever, a limited ocus on the seciic elements used by these comosers ill reveal their kinshi to There Arises Light 1

13 CHATER II orm or the ast several centuries, the symhony has been the subect o continual exerimentation Today, in the tenty-irst century, it may be said that a "symhony" can be anything a comoser ants it to be Stravinsky took the term sinonia in its original orm, meaning, "sounding together," and occasionally discarded the hole idea o the classical our-movement latorm 1 His Symhony in Three Movements is an examle, though three movement orms are not uncommon Jean Sibelius, in his Seventh Symhony, uses a single movement structure that as, in essence, a condensation o the our-movement scheme 2 The maority o symhonic orks examined in this aer also digress rom the classical norm o our movements Symhony No2 by Hoard Hanson and Symhony No by aul Creston also have three movements The symhonic Dance Suite by B éla Bartók has six movements, and Gloria by rancis oulenc (a choral symhony, or erhas a symhonic oratorio), has six movements Symhony No 5 in D Maor by Ralh Vaughan Williams is the only symhonic ork under consideration that holds to the our-movement model Third Symhony in One Movement by Roy Harris also discards the our-movement latorm olloing this recedent, the one-movement ormat used in There Arises Light is designed as a tye o condensation o a multiart design Harris' general treatment o the symhony is similar by comarison His most consistent vie aears to have been the symhony as a ork o greater seriousness, emotional variety, intensity o exression, and 8 1 Dan Stehman, Roy Harris: An American Musical ioneer (Boston: Tayne ublishers, 198) 2 Ibid 2

14 length than as the norm or him The materials o the symhonies are sometimes greater in number, richer in comlexity, and accorded a more elaborate develoment, ith esecially rominent use o the various tyes o motivic orking out Occasionally ideas recur in a thematic sense ithin a symhony thus roviding more o a sense o large scale unity There Arises Light consists o three maor sections similar to the older sonata orms, ith an exosition, develoment, and recaitulation Unlike the traditional sonata orm, the comoser has aid virtually no mind to the older harmonic structures or key relationshis This modiied sonata orm involves, in the author s concetion, an exosition o to congruent themes, an extended develoment o gradual intensiication (in to contrasting arts), and a recurrence o exository themes (ith urther develoment and abbreviation) There is a closing grou and transition beteen the exosition and the develoment, and a climactic lateau beteen the develoment and the recaitulation The overall shae o the ork is a skeed arch, culminating in an elorescent version o the irst theme (m 12) The recaitulation eases in intensity, returns to the lyrical treatment o both themes rom the exosition, and comes to rest in the coda igure 1 diagrams the overall shae o the ork Theme 1 Theme 2 Closing Trans Sect1 Sect 2 Climax (lateau) Theme 1 Theme 2 Coda m Exosition Develoment Recaitulation igure 1 There Arises Light: Skeed arch design Ibid, 9

17 CHATER III Melody Messiaen once stated, "Suremacy to the melody! The noblest element o music, may melody be the rincial aim o our investigation" 1 The imortance laced on melodic treatment is evident in the in the orks o oulenc, Harris, Hanson, Creston, and Vaughan Williams, among others According to Virgil Thomson, oulenc as "incontestably the greatest riter o melodies" o his time 2 One o Harris' rimary obectives as to strive or "organic develoment o the melodic line in avoidance o symmetrical and sequential attern(s)" Hanson believed that music is a "maniestation o the emotions" and created his "Romantic " symhony in eort to comose a ork that as "young in sirit, lyrical and romantic in temerament, and simle and direct in exression" Creston's ork "contain(s) a richness o melodic riting (ith an) ingenious use o rhythmic schemes" 5 Coell noted that Creston s melodic style exhibited a "certain simlicity and delicacy o eect sustained lines (and) armth and geniality" 6 Vaughan Williams rites his melodic lines in his Symhony No5 underscored ith "modal harmony entatonic lavor serene lyricism (and) tranquillity" 1 Oliver Messiaen, The Technique o My Musical Language (aris: Alonse Leduc, 1956), 1 2 Keith W Daniel, rancis oulenc: His Artistic Develoment and Musical Style (Ann Arbor, MI: UMI Research ress, 1982) 62 Robert Bagar and Louis Biancolli, The Concert Comanion: A Comrehensive Guide to Symhonic Music (Ne York: Whittlesy House), 22 Ibid, 19 5 David Een, The Comlete Book o 20 th Century Music (Engleood Clis, NJ: rentice-hall, Inc Ibid, Robert Bagar and Louis Biancolli, The Concert Comanion, 86, 8 6

18 Melodic lyricism is the single most resounding element in the oreground o There Arises Light The hole comosition, in its very essence, gros out o the simly stated irst theme (mm 2-1, see igure 2) In general, Theme I is resented in Brahms ashion, harmonized at the octave and the third, ith a ianistic accomaniment The theme gros organically rom the irst hrase, hich is a gentle descending areggiation receded by a loer neighbor (m 2) The irst hal-note (m ) is an aoggiatura that is anticiated in the receding measure and resolves by ste donards, only to be roelled into the resolution and next hrase by register transer Because o the conlict beteen the eighth-note trilets and the quarter-note trilets, the melody seems to ebb and lo like ocean aves The irst theme in the reludio rom Vaughan Williams' Symhony No 5 oers some similarities to the irst theme in There Arises Light (see igure ) The dottedquarter note olloed by a air o sixteenth notes, the descending igure in measure 1, and the descending trilet igure are all strikingly similar to melodic elements in Theme I o There Arises Light The melody is olloed in close imitation by the violas and irst cellos Similarly, this "stretto" eect is used in There Arises Light at a ast temo in Section II o the develoment (mm , 19-11, and ) J igure 2 There Arises Light: Theme I, irst hrase, mm 2-9

19 igure Melodic lyricism in Vaughan Williams' Symhony No 5, mvmt I, mm12-21 Theme II (m 18) o There Arises Light (igure ) is a olk-like melody in the aeolian mode on e (concert key), resented in the English horn and strings It begins ith an uard lea o a ith, then continues ith a steise quarter-note descent It is olloed by a series o "arched" eighth-note trilets (m 19) that settles on the ith scale degree The theme rises by ste, leas a sixth in an oscillating igure, and auses on the second scale degree (m 20) beore resenting the theme a second time ith variations Again, similar melodic technique can be seen in Vaughan Williams' Third Movement Vaughan Williams uses the English horn, resenting a lyrical theme that introduces a section including melodic ourths Vaughan Williams' rising and alling modal melodies are similar in style to the themes used in There Arises Light (see igure 5) Throughout There Arises Light there is a tendency to use ascending melodic ourths and iths motivically The irst measure o introduction is the best examle 8

23 In general, it can be noted that there is a great degree o melodic unity, organic groth, and develoment, consisting o the basic elements mentioned, ith a heavy reliance on melodic lyricism, intervals o the diatonic scales and modes, and variants that combine the trilet and dotted-eighth igures 12

24 CHATER IV Harmony Some o the harmonic elements in There Arises Light have already been alluded to, or instance: reliance on diatonic intervals, harmonization o melodies in octaves and thirds (Theme I), ascending areggiations o melodic iths (mm 1), quartal harmonies (mm ), and use o the aeolian mode (Theme II) A urther examination o imortant harmonic elements and key structures ill be the subect o study in this section Additionally, a comarison o the harmonic elements in There Arises Light ith similar comositions o the tentieth century is resented, including Dance Suite by Bela Bartók, Gloria by rancis oulenc, and Symhony No 5 by Ralh Vaughan Williams There Arises Light is, or the most art, tonal The harmonic rogressions used are based rimarily on modal harmony, hich relies less on the conventional dominant-totonic relationshi, but still has a deinite tonal center This eakening o the traditional use o the dominant and tonic relationshi has been oten exlored by comosers o the tentieth century Bartók oten uses modal harmonic relationshis in this manner: Modal considerations also ere o some moment in the eakening o the tonic-dominant relation, since the scale-ith is o less consequence in modal scales than in maor and minor Nevertheless Bart ók's music o hatever eriod has a homing instinct, hich relates it to deinitely established key centers notithstanding its avoidance o traditional unctions 1 Vaughan Williams' harmonic technique is described as a "masterly blend o tonal and modal atterns," hich laces "old devices ( 'dominant rearation ') into a ne and 1 Malcolm Gillies, The Bartók Comanion (ortland, OR: Amadeus ress, 199), 9 1

25 arresting context" 2 Vaughan Williams' Symhony No 5 uses several modes, including mixolydian, dorian, and hrygian oulenc 's harmonic technique is erhas more unctional than that o Bartók and Vaughan Williams, though he sometimes used accidentals instead o key signatures due to his luid and requent modulations Also, oulenc colors his comositions ith extended tertian harmonies (including the th, 9 th, and 1 th ) and other added dissonances At this oint, it is helul to note the overall harmonic scheme o There Arises Light igure 11 shos the tonal relationshis in the comosition As indicated in igure 11, it is clear that There Arises Light asses through several modal key areas It begins and ends in D maor, much like traditional sonata orm ould begin and end in the same key Hoever, the harmonic treatment o secondary themes, the develoment, and the recaitulation are somehat dierent than the conventional sonata orm In articular, the second theme occurs in the aeolian mode on e in the exosition (mm 18) and in the aeolian mode on b in the recaitulation (mm 198) The sequence o these key areas does not all in line ith the traditional "tonic modulating to the dominant or relative key area" concet The develoment section briely visits a variety o key areas The harmonic and rhythmic dissonance increases as sudden shiting "modulations" aroach the climax o the ork Ater the climax in c aeolian, the elorescent variant o the irst theme (lateau) is eected by ay o a dissonant aeolian mode on A and is alternated ith maor (mm12-189) This reetitive alternation o key areas at the lateau gradually disels the rhythmic and harmonic dissonance o the climax, and eventually makes ay 2 James Day, Vaughan Williams (Ne York: Oxord University ress, 1998) 20 1

33 CHATER V Rhythm The rominent rhythmic elements used in There Arises Light include: raidly shiting meters, cross-rhythms (or hemiola), trilet igures, and rhythmic overlaing (rhythmic dislacement in deiance o barlines) Comarisons can be dran to the orks o Bartók, Creston, and Stravinsky Bartók requently used raidly shiting meters in order to accommodate the dance-like Hungarian olk songs that he oten reerenced In his Dance Suite (see igure 16), Bartók uses asymmetrical bars o 5/8 and /8 among 2/ and / The Dance Suite contains sudden shits in the rhythmic ulse common in the Hungarian olk-music and dance that insired Bartók The belie that rhythm and symhonic orms are linked ith dancing is also held by Stravinsky: A static obect cannot be described or ainted in sounds: but hen that obect is set in motion, music can by analogy reroduce the character o that movement its temo (a measurement o ace), its rhythm (a mode o eriodicity), its amlitude (a degree o intensity) and so orth In this ay a visual is transormed into a musical image Hence it is not ith the illustration o an obect as such that Stravinsky is concerned in his music but ith the nature (temo, rhythm, dynamic amlitude) o that obect s igure 16 Shiting meters in Bartók's Dance Suite, mvmt III, mm

34 movement It is thereore easy to understand hy dierent orms o motoric energy and articularly the clearest maniestations o these, namely the dance occuy such a signiicant lace in determining Stravinsky's musical orms The origin o every ritual lay, as he believed, in the dance, hich as also the origin o the symhony All ritual, as e kno, is based on the same rincile as 'lay,' and this element is oerully exressed in dancing Thus in Stravinsky s music the visualelement and the lay-element orm an indivisible unity In the same ay e can understand ho essential he elt it to be to catch exactly the character o musical movement, the deinition o hich corresonds most recisely to that o the rench ord mouvement This he emhasized in the titles o to o his later orks: Symhony in Three Movements (a sense lost in English) and Movements or iano and orchestra That is hy he never tires o insisting that the relation beteen a musical idea and its temo are or him a rimary roblem o musical order, and that he cannot comose until he has ound the right temo or his ideas 'Any musical comosition must necessarily ossess its unique temo (ulsation) A iece o mine can survive almost anything but rong or uncertain temo' 1 Stravinsky 's ercussive style o comosition, ith dance-like movement, rhythmic asymmetry, and shiting accents can be seen in his Symhony in Three Movements (igure 1) Stravinsky could have ritten the examle in a succession o meters to match the rhythmic accents (eg, 6/8, /8, 5/8, /8, 5/8, 6/8 + 2/8); hoever, the viola art ould have robably suered It is sometimes best to comromise in the notation o meter or the sake o erormance A similar examle in There Arises Light shos shiting meter and accent here the double bass art articulates its on accented attern (contrary to the barline), hile the irst violins are notated according to the meter o their assage (igure 18) The music o aul Creston exhibits a strong rhythmic element as ell He is articularly adet at using cross-rhythms, or hemiola, in his music An examle o 1 Mikhail Druskin, Igor Stravinsky: His Lie, Works, and Vies (Ne York: Cambridge University 2

38 CHATER VI Texture Using a variety o textural rocedures in the orchestration o There Arises Light, several elements emerge as imortant to this study, namely: the use o monohonic and multi-layered textures, "ianistic" accomanimental styles in the orchestra, and contrauntal techniques such as stretto and imitation Roy Harris, in his Third Symhony in One Movement, oens ith a chant-like melody that is largely monohonic in texture Similarly, There Arises Light has a monohonic section early in the develoment In this section, the strings are reduced to a single melodic line in unison/octaves (mm 65-81) This austere, contemlative section rovides textural relie rom the redominating melody and chordal accomaniment o the exosition The climax o There Arises Light (mm 16, 168) uses this monohonic texture as the strings in unison and octaves contrast ith the multi-layered mass o sound receding it The monohonic orchestration allos or greater dynamic orce at the climax In the exosition, the accomaniment is sometimes ianistic in character ith rising and alling areggiated igures The use o izzicato in the strings in this areggiated ashion hels create an interesting multi-layered textural technique in the develoment o the comosition (mm , , and ) by blending rhythmic motivic elements, running sixteenth-notes, izzicato unctuations, sustained harmonic edals o tremolo strings, and cascading igures in the inds (mm 11, 12) Symhony in Three Movements by Igor Stravinsky rovides a similar examle o this multi-layered aroach to texture 2

39 In general the Symhony is a ork here melodic continuities are oten relinquished in avor o imulse and layered textures, through hich Stravinsky is tyically able to make a virtue o his somehat disarate material 1 Stravinsky sometimes connects his musical ideas ith underlying ostinato atterns, motor-like igures, and unching rhythmic igures When these and other elements are combined, the result is a multi-layered textural abric In oulenc's Gloria, there are similar uses o multi-layered textures using running sixteenth-notes, izzicato basses, and motivic ragments (igure 22) Another examle o textural layering is seen in the elorescent statement at the end o the develoment in There Arises Light (igure 2) The theme is stated homohonically in a thick mass o dissonant sound, hile the ianistic, areggiated notes in the har, izzicato cellos, and lo inds accomany Because o the textural treatment in this section and thick scoring or the orchestra, the music retains a ortion o intensity rom the develoment, hile diusing the remainder in rearation or (or erhas delaying) the lyrical recaitulation 1 Stehen Walsh, The Music o Stravinsky (Ne York: Routledge, 1988),

42 Another imortant textural device used in There Arises Light is the use o contrauntal imitation and stretto Rhythmic and textural intensity is the result hen a subect or motive is begun and then echoed or chased in close imitation by its anser oset by one or to counts This dovetailing or overlaing o imitative subect and anser results in hat is normally called "stretto" 2 Stretto can be ound in several sections in the develoment section or examle, mm is a short ugato section, begun by the brass and strings This is also the same section ith rhythmic overlaing as mentioned earlier (see igure 20 in the chater on rhythm) By comarison, Vaughan Williams uses this kind o "stretto" in a non-ugal sense to create a "lurry" o modal activity underneath melodic elements, and also in echo-like assages that result in crossrhythm (igure 2) The textural abric o There Arises Light is ashioned by the use o a variety o scoring combinations and idiomatic techniques (ie, tremolo, izzicato, etc ) Monohonic, multi-layered textures, contrauntal techniques such as stretto and imitation, and "ianistic" accomanimental styles in the orchestra all contribute to the variety in texture igure 2 Stretto eects in Vaughan Williams' Symhony No 5, mvmt I, mm Willi Ael, Harvard Dictionary o Music, 2 nd ed (Cambridge, MA: Belkna / Harvard ress, 1

43 CHATER VII Other Stylistic Concerns While the themes used in There Arises Light are not rogrammatic, they do evoke, in general, a romantic mysticism or sense o siritual intent or the comoser It is or this reason that, ater the symhony as comleted, the author assigned a siritually associated title taken rom salm 112, vs The verse reads, "Unto the uright there arises light in the darkness" This title best described the melodic lyricism that is in contrast ith the rhythmic motives o the develoment and retained the siritual intent o the ork In addition to the comosers examined in this study, it is necessary to note the exressive nature o the ork o other tentieth century comosers sometimes identiied ith the concet o neoromanticism Regarding a grou recently termed as the Ne Romanticists, one author rote: The Ne Romanticists exlicitly return to a reserialist ast [and] ork ithin the convenient categories o mainstream classical music, riting concertos and ieces or conventional orchestra The Ne Romanticists have returned to a nineteenth-century manner o volatile emotional exression, based on climaxes and a ide and ever-changing dynamic range 1 Most o the aard-inning comosers in the latter ortion o the tentieth century have incororated neoromantic techniques into their music Christoher Rouse, William Bolcom, Ellen Zilich, Stehen Albert, John Harbison, Joseh Schantner, Joan Toer, and John Adams all dislay a neoromantic aesthetic, to some degree 2 Each o these 192), Kyle Gann, American Music in the Tentieth Century (Ne York: Schirmer Books, 199), 26 2 Ibid, 222 2

44 comosers has his or her on unique style in using these neoromantic concets, some more harshly atonal than others Generally seaking, in most cases, the exressive content in the music o these comosers ollos trends o atonality and minimalism, unlike There Arises Light It is evident in There Arises Light that the neoromantic ideal o music as a rimarily exressive vehicle is an inluential aesthetic on the comoser 's ork The music o earlier tentieth century comosers examined in this aer (Harris, Hanson, Vaughan Williams, oulenc, Bartók, Creston, and Stravinsky) has made signiicant contributions stylistically to context o There Arises Light urther inluences o oular music, movie soundtracks, olk-insired music, music rom the band and choir literature, and the textually-emhasized hymns and sacred music o the church have all contributed to the comoser's aesthetic o music as a rimarily exressive vehicle Through a comarison o similar musical elements used by tentieth century comosers, a solid oundation or the comositional rocedures used in There Arises Light is ashioned and the ork is laced in historical ersective
