Tools to encourage greater involvement in new music are developed. The author identifies causes and finds solutions to this problem.
The lack of new music studied in university programs lies in the complexity and difficulty of the repertoire. Differences in approach, from Boulez to jazz, are correlated with the students’ partiality towards new music. Key words: Kampela, Arthur, 1960-, Flute, Extended techniquesĪbstract The dissertation begins by surveying university flute students and their teachers about their experiences with extended techniques. In an effort to assist flutists with their preparation of Happy Days, a digitalized performance edition with suggested fingerings and other advice has been prepared and included. To this aim, the study includes a detailed performance guide and analysis of the extended techniques and varied rhythmic notation specific to Kampela’s flute writing. Because Arthur Kampela’s music is extremely difficult and idiosyncratic, it is not performed as often as it deserves. The ultimate goal of this study is to encourage performance of these important contemporary Brazilian solo flute works. The thesis includes a general overview of Kampela's flute works and discusses various aspects of the composer's philosophy and style as evidenced in Elastics II and Happy Days, considering above all the interpretive aspect of his composition. This thesis focuses on the works Elastics II for flute, guitar and electronics and Happy Days for flute and electronic sounds by the Brazilian composer Arthur Kampela.
