The purpose of this blog is to explore creative ways at analyzing symphonic literature, blending traditional and progressive music theory methods, current trends in conducting studies, and utilizing the blog format to take some angles and perspectives not typically explored.
The initial posts will be considered my final project for the Symphonic Literature course I am currently taking. I will be doing an in depth look at Peter Mennin's Symphony No. 3. Beginning in December, this blog will expand to include all the symphonic and chamber works I study and analyze as part of my career preparation.
Expect to see form analyses, exploration of relationships between themes and motives, biographical information, and conducting concerns. I will utilize images, slidecasts, audio files, video files, and posts from fictional perspectives of other composers, theorists, and conductors. Any relevant quotes from the literature will also be shared.
Every piece discussed will be tagged, so you can sift through all the posts using the tag tool on the side of this page.
