Hall, Kier (2021) Folio of compositions. PhD thesis, University of York.
Abstract
This portfolio contains eight original compositions intended for concert hall performance, written for acoustic instruments, some with the addition of live electronics. Each piece contained within this portfolio forms an investigation into jazz processes that are applied to modern concert hall music. Some of these pieces employ a precise, statistical application of a jazz process such as rhythmic ratios or modal analysis, while others are informed more generally by themes of particular jazz performers or styles. Through the variety of pieces and commentary in this portfolio, genre definitions, and the limitations of them, are explored and challenged. The objective of my research is not to create jazz music, but to create music that has the genetic material of jazz. Throughout this thesis I attempt to distil various components of jazz and apply them to new music.
