Frost, for jazz orchestra : exploring new conceptual, harmonic, formal, and timbral approaches to jazz composition

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The following text is a conceptual and formal analysis of a new jazz orchestra work premiered by the University of Texas Jazz Orchestra on April 13, 2019. The piece, Frost, explores new conceptual and structural devices inspired by the works and writings of various 20th century and contemporary composers from both the classical and jazz traditions. By exploring tonal, timbral, and formal concepts not typically associated with jazz writing, I hope the piece, and this document, will provide new possibilities for creative exploration to composers of jazz ensemble works
