Grey Areas: Songs of Memory, Imagination, Intellect, and Death for Baritone Voice and Mixed Instrumental Octet
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The central element of this thesis is <em>Grey Areas</em>, a newly-composed dramatic piece in four movements for baritone and chamber ensemble. The work is highly personal in both its subject matter and its musical execution; it also contains a unique movement order that changes depending on the age of the baritone. Along with the written portion of this document and full score, I completed a studio recording of the entire composition as part of the project. Composers (by necessity) are more frequently functioning as their own recording and mixing engineers for their own works. I have been able to gather a variety of skills related to the recording arts and sought out opportunities to employ them in this project. In order to meaningfully add to the greater body of research, I describe both the creative aspects of my compositional process and the technical aspects of the recording process.</p>
