Abstract

Plum Blossom Warm Gentle Wind Shimmering Stillness for Bass Trombone and Ensemble

by

Jason L. Levis

Doctor of Philosophy in Music

University of California, Berkeley

Professor Cindy Cox, Chair

Plum Blossom Warm Gentle Wind Shimmering Stillness is a composition for solo bass trombone and accompanying ensemble. It is in six movements and is approximately 12 minutes long. The piece is dedicated to my grandfathers Benjamin A. Levis, and Harbert S. Gregory, who have passed away in recent years. I initially began work on concepts for the composition while studying with Professor John Thow, and then with Professor Jorge Liderman, but put it away after their untimely passing. Movement four is dedicated to both of them. The composition was written for my good friend and unparalleled bass trombonist, Marc Bolin. The title reflects my interest in haiku, and the possibility of containing in a brief statement, a moment of total clarity and harmony. While reflecting on Professor Thow’s passing, sitting on my front porch, watching the blooming plum tree in front of my house shake and stir ever so gently when the wind would pick up, I experienced one of these moments of deep quietude. Even as the title is not a haiku in its traditional form, it contains a moment for me where something brief and subtle can have a sudden impact and lasting resonance. Even though the composition is inspired by this moment, it is not an impressionistic, sonic image of the natural world. Rather, it is a metaphor for the complex relationships that make up our human experience, the impact those relationships have on us, and the lasting effects and reverberations they create. The work employs a myriad of extended techniques, engendering layers of timbral commonality. This allows the ensemble to fuse into blended “meta-instruments”, and magnify the sonic landscape of the bass trombone. The composition is influenced by my interest in the sometimes antagonistic aims of post-spectral harmony and orchestration, self-similarity modeling of the new complexity school, and large-scale architecture in improvisation. The instrumentation for Plum Blossom Warm Gentle Wind Shimmering Stillness is bass trombone, four percussionists, piano, two violins, viola, violoncello, and contrabass.

v Performance Notes and Special Markings

All Instruments

Accidentals apply only to the notes they precede with the exception of tied notes. All grace notes lead into the beat and as fast as possible. Dynamics are absolute, and will occasionally require a player to play more or less forcefully than the written dynamic to produce the proper resultant sound. For example, air sounds in the bass trombone (m. 5), left hand fingering with out the bow in the violin (m. 15), etc. No vibrato except where indicated. Tempi are consistent through meter changes.

Quarter tones ( ) ( ) Duration is approximately 12 minutes.

Bass Trombone

Mutes required: plunger, straight, and harmon with stem. blurry Extremely legato articulation so that the attack becomes as imperceptible as possible. brassy A rough, almost distorted tone. Continue in this manner for the duration indicated. Gradually change from one state to the next. Breath mark: Make a slight pause before continuing on. There should be no decrescendo, unless otherwise indicated. Small decrescendo: A slight decrescendo at the end of the sustained sound. Indicates a gentle rather than abrupt release. non-decrescendo Sustain sound at given dynamic for the entire duration indicated. Fluctuate within given dynamic range, following the graphic information. Glissando: When tied, the arrival pitch should not be re-articulated. When not tied, the arrival pitch should be articulated. Slight glissando: A short glissando leading into or falling away from the indicated pitch. Air sound: Contains all the elements of normal pitch production except for buzzing the lips. Flutter Tongue (flt): Roll the tip of the tongue as fast as possible. Glottal growl (gl.gr.): Growl in the back of the throat. Tongue stop. Wide vibrato, follow graphic information. Multiphonic: produced by lips vibrating independently at adjacent harmonics. Singing Multiphonics: Sing diamond-shaped note heads while playing normal note heads. Plunger mute remains mostly closed so as to mute the horn and allow for the voice to come forward. Bass trombone should always sound at a slightly lower dynamic than the voice. Fast glissando up the overtone series using the lips rather than the slide. I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII: Slide positions (first, second, third, etc). valve I: First position with F-valve engaged. I-, II-: Slide pushed slightly further out than normal positioning to accommodate quarter tones.

Percussion Continue in this manner for the duration indicated. Gradually change from one state to the next. Breath mark: Make a slight pause before continuing on. There should be no decrescendo, unless otherwise indicated. Small decrescendo: A slight decrescendo at the end of the sustained sound. Indicates a gentle rather than abrupt release. non-decrescendo Sustain sound at given dynamic for the entire duration indicated. lv Let vibrate. ds Dead stroke: Leave mallet head on surface after striking, so as to partially mute the surface. secco Dry. sempre Always, continue in this manner. arco With bow. Brush in a circular motion with the indicated implement. Mute completely. Catch: Mute cymbal completely immediately after striking. Fluctuate within given dynamic range, following the graphic information. Cross stick, stick on stick: Hold one stick the drumhead, tip roughly 2/3rds of the way to the edge. Strike the shaft of this stick with the shaft of the other stick, roughly halfway down both sticks, producing a clean and heavy staccato “crack”. Depress and hold pedal for the duration of the line. Clear and immediately depress pedal. Repeat chord. Roll chords upwards or downwards according to direction of arrow. R Ricochet: The stick is made to bounce on the drumhead in a rapid unmeasured manner. Use a loose grip in such a way as to sound a group of attacks gradually increasing in density and proximity. Longer durations will by definition have to begin with a less dense group, and may need to be artificially controlled to last the entire duration indicated. The end result should be an unmeasured accelerando. Piano blurry Extremely legato articulation so that the attack becomes as imperceptible as possible. secco Dry. Depress and hold pedal for the duration of the line. Clear and immediately depress pedal. Pluck inside piano Repeat chord. Roll chords upwards or downwards according to direction of arrow. Scrape a plastic card along the ridges of the string inside the piano producing a raspy tone.

vi Performance Notes and Special Markings (con’t)

Strings ordinario (ord) Normal: play in the normal fashion, referring specifically to the placement of the bow on the strings. sul tasto (st) On the fingerboard: bow over the fingerboard, emphasizing the fundamental harmonic. sul ponticello (sp) On the bridge: bow very near to the bridge, emphasizing the higher harmonics. tratto ordinario (t.o.) Bow in the normal fashion, referring specifically to the use of the hair as opposed the wood of the bow. col legno tratto (clt) Bow with the wood of the bow. 1/2 col legno tratto (1/2clt) Bow with both the wood and hair of the bow. battuto (batt) Strike the strings with the hair of the bow. col legno battuto (clb) Strike the strings with the wood of the bow. 1/2 col legno battuto (1/2clb) Strike the strings with wood and hair of the bow. grind bow hair (grind) Grind bow hair into the strings with heavy pressure and a twisting motion in the wrist. pizzicato (pizz) Pluck string with finger. Bartok pizzicato: Pull the string away from the fingerboard so that it snaps back percussively. Bow side of bridge (bsb): Bow perpendicularly along the side of the bridge. Produces a “white noise”. Bow tailpiece (btp): Bow directly on the tailpiece. Produces a quiet, low hum-like tone. Vocal fry: Bow sul tasto with heavy bow pressure and a slow bow speed. Left hand fingering is almost muted, slightly heavier than a harmonic, and not quiet fingered. Produces a raspy, almost un-pitched tone.

Scratch : Heavy down bow stroke near the frog, leave the bow on the string. Produces a brittle, raspy percussive attack.

R Ricochet: The bow is made to bounce on the string in a rapid unmeasured manner with a

down bow stroke in such a way as to sound a group of attacks gradually increasing in density and proximity. Longer durations will by definition have to begin with a less dense group, and may

need to be artificially controlled to last the entire duration indicated. The end result should be an unmeasured accelerando. Natural harmonic: Touch lightly at the pitch indicated. Artificial harmonic: While finger the lower pitch, touch lightly at the indicated upper pitch. I, II, III, IV: String indication, highest to lowest. noisy Slightly more bow pressure than normal. distorted Add bow pressure to create a distorted tone. Continue in this manner for the duration indicated. Gradually change from one state to the next. Breath mark: Make a slight pause before continuing on. There should be no decrescendo, unless otherwise indicated. Small decrescendo: A slight decrescendo at the end of the sustained sound. Indicates a gentle rather than abrupt release. non-decrescendo Sustain sound at given dynamic for the entire duration indicated. lv Let vibrate. Wide vibrato: Follow graphic information. Brush strings in a circular motion with the bow. Mute strings completely with the left hand. Fluctuate within given dynamic range, following the graphic information. blurry Extremely legato articulation so that the attack becomes as imperceptible as possible. sempre Continue in this manner.
