【 摘 要 】

Three harp recitals were given in lieu of a written dissertation.My dissertation traced innovation on the harp.In particular, I focused on extended techniques.I examined composers’ social networks to help musicians better understand the development of extended harp techniques. In my doctoral recitals, I featured pieces that showcase a variety of extended techniques that come from a wide range of interconnected composers.My first recital was centered on networks of composers contributing to 20th-century innovation on the harp.My second recital continued this conversation, but with additional emphasis on premieres and electro-acoustic performance.My third recital featured innovative chamber works for harp and mezzo-soprano.Saturday, November 15, 2014, 8:00 p.m., Stamps Auditorium, Walgreen Drama Center, The University of Michigan.John Elam, piano.Germaine Tailleferre, Sonata for Harp; Jean Cras, Deux Impromptus Pour Harpe; Carlos Salzedo, Scintillation; Alberto Ginastera Harp Concerto, op. 25.Thursday, April 2, 2015, 8:00 p.m., Stamps Auditorium, Walgreen Drama Center, The University of Michigan.
