THE EVOLUTION OF MELODIC CONSTRUCTION IN THREE 20th-CENTURY WIND BAND WORKS

Journal of Band Research | October 1, 2007| | Copyright

The 20th century has witnessed numerous accomplishments that have further explored the limitless possibilities of music. Along with advances in tonality (twelve-tone theory, polytonality), rhythm (polyrhythms, serialism) and electronic media, compositional methods have also evolved. Whereas themes and motives have served as a melodic foundation in music for over 300 years, the construction of these musical ideas has undergone numerous changes over the same time period. During the last fifty years, three composers have contributed works that display a different foundation to melodic ...
