| dcterms.abstract | <italic>Hollow Night</italic> is a piece for orchestra, whose music evokes the composer's bouts with insomnia and anxiety attacks. The piece heavily borrows from traditions of blues music, and is heavily influenced by the musical memories of the composer's youth, performing in local town bands. Hollow Night begins with faint whispers emerging from stillness, and slowly builds its way into a sustained frenzy, full of abrupt changes and propelled forward by relentless rhythmic motion. The harmonic construction of <italic>Hollow Night</italic> involves the combining of multiple instances of a four-pitch set, recognizable as the first four pitches of a blues scale. These sets overlap and combine to form larger collections of pitches, which form the harmonic language of the piece. The defense will address the form, harmonic language, and techniques used in the composition of <italic>Hollow Night</italic>, a demonstration of musical influences and how they relate back to the piece, and how this piece relates to the rest of the composer's body of works. Excerpts from the Stony Brook University Orchestra reading of the piece will be presented. The piece, in total, is about twelve minutes long. | |
