Pacific Suite: A Work in Four Movements for Solo Piano
Pacific Suite is engaging to mature pianists and accessible to students. The score of Pacific Suite is a blank canvas in some ways; almost all dynamics, tempi, pedaling, and fingerings are to be determined by the performer. The first movement, Great Barrier Reef, presents different musical vignettes. The second movement, Mariana Trench, requires the performer to improvise extensively while following provided instructions. The third movement, Sunlit Zone, asks the performer to improvise on a theme of Debussy. The final movement, Bikini Atoll, illustrates events of nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll in the 1940s.]]>autKordahl, HollythsMeir, BaruchdgcBolanos, GabrieldgcCampbell, AndrewdgcHamilton, RobertdgcRyan, RussellpblArizona State UniversityengDoctoral Dissertation Music 2020https://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.5716200Doctoral DissertationAcademic theses57 pages115910174661630032421158214adminIn Copyright20202022-05-01T12:15:22MusicComposition (Music)PerformancePiano
