Abstract

Intelligentsia Suite:

Score and Analysis by Charles Douglas Haarhues

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of

Master of Arts in Music

1999

The thesis includes the score of the musical composition Intelligentsia Suite

by Charles Haarhues and an analysis of the work by the composer.

The composition is in two movements and is scored for symphonic winds.

percussion, and piano. The specific instrumentation is:

Woodwinds: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English Horn in F, 3 clarinets in B-flat,

bass clarinet, and 2 bassoons.

Brass: 4 French horns in F, 2 trumpets in B-flat, 2 trombones, bass trombone,

and tuba.

Percussion: vibraphone, xylophone, suspended cymbal, snare drum, bass

drum, whip, tambourine, castanets, triangle, tam-tam, and 3 timpani.

Grand piano.

The purpose of the accompanying paper is to analyze the important musical

elements of the piece. These include form, melody, harmony,

rhythm/meter/tempo, orchestration, and dynamics. Each of the two movements

is handled separately in its own chapter. In the sections on form, the paper

analyzes the structure of each movement and then identifies the important

themes that constitute it. In the melody sections, the motivic characteristics of

these themes are examined. The harmony sections discuss the vertical

characteristics of each movement in general terms and then show specific

examples. The rhythm/meter/tempo sections look at the basic metric structure of

each movement and also identify contrasting materials. The orchestration

sections examine how the instrumentation is used to articulate the major formal

divisions. In the dynamics sections, charts of the dynamic levels of each

movement identify their major characteristics.

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the important musical elements of the

piece Intelligentsia Suite, which include form, melody, harmony,

rhythm/meter/tempo, orchestration, and dynamics. Each of the two movements

will be treated separately in its own chapter. In the form sections, the structure

of each movement will be analyzed and important themes that constitute it will

be identified. In the melody sections, the motivic characteristics of these themes

will be examined. The harmony sections will discuss the vertical characteristics

of each movement in general terms and then show specific examples. The

rhythm/meter/tempo sections will look at the basic metric structure of each

movement and also identify contrasting materials. The orchestration sections

will examine how the instrumentation is used to articulate the major formal

divisions of each movement. In the dynamics sections, charts of the dynamic

levels of each movement will identify their major characteristics.

There are some overall characteristics of the piece, however, that should be

discussed here. The instrumentation of the Intelligentsia Suite consists of

symphonic winds, percussion, and piano. The composition is similar to a solo

concerto in that the piano is used as the featured instrument, but its role is more

integrated than just that of soloist. In places it acts as an accompanist. In other

locations it is an integral part of the ensemble. When it does play solo

passages, it is often doubled by the xylophone. Harmonically, the two

movements are based on different tonal centers. The first movement, though

not in a traditional major or minor key, uses C as its central tonality. The second

movement is in F-minor. It cannot be said then that the piece is in a particular

key. These two movements can still be considered harmonically associated

because of the dominant-tonic relationship of pitches C and F.

Page 55: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

Form

The form of the first movement is a passacaglia. The basis of this formal

structure is a four measure ostinato bass part that acts as a unifying theme (a)

(see example 1 f ). Over the course of the movement this theme is repeated

twelve times. With each repetition the other compositional elements such as

melody, harmony, dynamics, and orchestration vary and develop (For a graphic

representation, see the form chart at the end of this section.).

(Example 1 D Passacaglia theme

Measures 1-4

It is not a strict passacaglia, however, and the ostinato bass part undergoes

variations through the course of the movement. In some statements, melodic

ornamentation is added. In the ninth statement (mm.40-45), the ostinato is

extended an extra two measures. Despite these variations, the passacaglia

theme is recognizable as the same basic structure (see example 20.

A short contrasting theme,b, occurs four times during the movement. It is

also varied to some degree in each of its statements. The first time b is heard, it

is four measures long. The second and fourth statements are three measures in

length, and the third only two. In its second appearance, the meter changes for

one measure to six-eight. The motivic cell that is the core of b, however, is

heard every time. This cell consists of four quartal chords that are each

sustained for two beats (see example 30. This motive appears intact in each

succeeding appearance.

Themeb is heard after every three repetitions of a. A larger grouping can

therefore be created that consists of the units aaab. This larger grouping, [A], is

heard four times during the movement. In each of the first three statements, the

musical elements (melody, harmony, rhythm, dynamics, etc .. ) evolve and build

to a climax that occurs between measures 40-45. In the final [A] (Measures 49-

63), this process is reversed. The tension that steadily mounted in the first

three-quarters of the passacaglia subsides to a final resolution in measure 63.

Melody

The majority of the melodic material from the first movement is derived from

an octatonic scale on C. An example of this is the passacaglia theme. If the

pitch classes of the theme are placed in ascending order, an almost complete

octatonic scale results. The only note missing is a D-sharp (see example 1 m).

The pitch classes of the four measure melody stated by the flutes in

measures 5-8 can also be arranged in ascending order to form an almost

complete octatonic scale. As in the passacaglia theme, the only note missing is

the D-sharp (see example 2m).

Scale derived from melody

The shape of this melody is an arch starting on C-sharp. Within this arch, the

melody can be broken down into two traditional tertian arpeggios. The first and

Page 60: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

last three notes combine to form an F-sharp dominant seventh and the middle

four notes form an A minor seventh (see example 3m )

(Example 3m) Components of melody

A minor arpeggio

This melodic theme occurs in both its original and varied forms a total of

twelve times. In addition to the original melody, there are five distinct variations

upon it. As the movement progresses, this theme evolves further from its

original form. After the climax in measures 41-46, this process reverses itself

until the theme is heard again in its original form in measures 53-56.

Variation one is heard in measures 9-12 and again in measures 57-60. The

first three measures of this variation are identical to the original. In the fourth

measure, however, instead of a single sustained F-sharp there is an elaborate

melodic line that outlines both the F-sharp seventh arpeggio and a diminished

seventh arpeggio (see example 4m).

(Example 4m) Melody-variation 1 Extension of F-sharp 7th arpeggio diminished 7th

Variation two is heard three times, in measures 17-20, 21-24, and 25-28. It is

similar to the original in pitch content and shape, but the rhythm of the phrase

and the pitches which are repeated are subtly changed. The E-natural that is

heard in the first measure of the phrase is repeated in the third measure. The

descending A-sharp and F-sharp which end the phrase in the original are

missing in this version. Where variation one is an elaboration on the original,

8

Page 61: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

variation two is a simplification (see example 5m).

(Example 5m) Melody-variation 2 F-sharp held two extra beats E repeated

l! A-sharp and F-sharp !1-e- eliminated

Variation three moves even further from the original melody in pitch content,

rhythm, and melodic shape. For the first time in the melody, a note outside of

the octatonic scale is introduced (8-natural). The rhythm of the first two

measures of the phrase is now quarter and eighth notes, not whole, half, and

quarter notes. The pitches of the first measure now outline an A-major triad and

the pitches of the second outline an F-sharp diminished triad with two non­

harmonic tones. The second half of the phrase, however, is identical to the

second half of variation 3, and the A-minor arpeggio figure remains unchanged

(see example 6m).

Variation four continues the evolution of the melody away from its original

form. The pitches are all from the octatonic scale but their arrangement within

the phrase cannot be easily broken down into obvious traditional tertian

arpeggios. In variation three an A-major triad was clearly outlined. In variation

four an A triad with doubly-inflected thirds is outlined. E-flats alternate with E­

naturals. The melody has become more ambiguous and chromatic. Motivic

elements from the previous variations are recombined. The rhythm is more

syncopated (™ example 7 m).

Variation five occurs at the climax of the movement (measures 40-46). Its

similarity to the original melody is less than any of the other variations. As in the

first statement, the melody is derived from the octatonic scale with all the pitch

classes present except E-flat, but without the motivic elements of the original.

For the first time the A-minor arpeggio figure does not appear. The elements of

this variation appear instead to be derived from previous variations. Versions of

the A-triad with split thirds, seen in variation four, occurs in four different

measures. A motivic fragment from variation one occurs in the second

measure.

The principal melodic idea of the variation is the repetition of the A-triad

motive. Each time it is repeated, the first note is higher than in its previous

statement. This builds to a climax in measure 45, where the line finally

descends through an F-sharp arpeggio to a point of rest (see example 8m)

Other important melodic material in the first movement includes a piano

accompaniment figure (mm. 5-11 and mm. 53-59), the soloistic sixteenth note

melody played by the piano and xylophone at the climax (mm. 40-45), and a

10

Page 63: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

clarinet countermelody (mm. 5-11 and mm. 53-59).

The piano accompaniment figure is also derived from the octatonic scale. It

can be broken down into tertian chords and has motivic elements related to the

passacaglia theme (see example 9m)

Measures 5-8.

Like the melody and the passacaglia theme, the soloistic piano passage

(mm. 40-45) uses all the pitches of the same octatonic scale except for E-flat.

Large portions of this passage make use of a pentatonic subset of this octatonic

scale that consists of the pitch classes C, D-flat, E, G, and A (see example

1 Om). The B-flat and F-sharp are used in only two measures of this six

measure passage. In measure 41, a motive using the pitch classes of this

pentatonic subset is stated in the first two beats. This motive is then repeated

four more times in ascending sequential fashion, using the pitches of this

subset. This lends to the feeling of excitement at this climactic spot in the

movement (see example 11 m)

The clarinet countermelody is heard in measures 5-11 and again in

measures 53-59. This seven measure melody overlaps two statements of the

passacaglia theme. It is also derived from the octatonic scale and is related to

the passacaglia theme. A motivic fragment consisting of the first three notes of

the passacaglia theme is heard three times. A separate motivic fragment

consisting of the pitches G, D-flat, and A is also heard three times (see example

12.m).

Harmony

The harmonic structure of the first movement of The Intelligentsia Suite is

tonal, however, there are no traditional functional chord progressions derived

from a diatonic scale and its chromatic alterations. The scale that is the source

of most of the harmonic material is the octatonic scale. With the exception of

four short contrasting sections and a few isolated chords, almost all of the first

movement consists of chords and simultaneities derived from this scale. The

major and minor triads with roots of C, E-flat, F-sharp, and A are all found in the

single octatonic scale used. Diminished triads can also be built on every note

of this scale.

Because of its symmetrical construction, establishing a tonal center can

sometimes be difficult with an octatonic scale. Here, however, this is not the

case. The passacaglia theme places great emphasis on the pitches C and G

(see example 1 h). This traditional tonic-dominant relationship firmly cements

the tonality around the pitch C despite the scale's symmetry.

(Example 1 h) First statement of passacaglia

Measures 1-4

This sense of tonality is obscured through the course of the movement by the

use of polychords, chords with split members, and other techniques. This is

evident as early as the fifth and sixth measures of the piece (see example 2h)

The accompanying piano part is clearly polytonal. The left hand plays an

arpeggiation of a C dominant seventh chord, while the right hand alternates

between A-major and F-sharp major triads. These triads are consonant with the

flute melody until the fourth beat of measure six. Here the flute outlines

13

Page 66: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

an A minor arpeggio while the piano states an A-major. The resulting

combination is an A triad with split thirds. At various times, the passacaglia

bass line in the bassoon plays notes from all these triads.

As the movement proceeds, this polychordal texture becomes steadily thicker

and even more pronounced. Starting in measure 19, and continuing to the

climax in measure 45, the woodwind melody is harmonized with triads derived

from the octatonic scale. This harmonization also occurs in the passacaglia

bass part, albeit, more slowly. The result is at first a more implied polychordal

sound that grows to a full polytonal texture. This process is evident in measures

25-28 (see example 3h). The melody, in the winds, is fully harmonized with

various triads. The passacaglia bass line arpeggiates chords, implies a C triad

by stating two of the three notes, and finally, on beat three of measure 28, plays

a complete E diminished triad.

By the climax (mm.42-46. see example 4h), this full polychordal texture is

clearly seen. Almost every note of the melody and of the passacaglia bass line

is harmonized with major triads derived from the octatonic scale. They are

found in combinations where the root of the top triad is either a minor third, a

tritone, or a major sixth above the root of the bottom chord. There is also a

chord that can be analyzed as either an E diminished triad above an E-flat

major or an E-flat with split roots. The only triad not derived from the octatonic

scale is a 0-flat major found in the bass on beat four of measure fourty-four. A

harmonic reduction clearly shows the chords used (See example 4h).

The only other significantly different harmonic material found in the first

movement are the quartal chords in the contrasting theme, b. When these

chords are heard, their purpose is not to create a sense of forward harmonic

motion. On the contrary, they are used as a moment of repose between different

sections in the development of the passacaglia material. The intervals in them

are not all perfect but contain some augmented and diminished fourths. This is

16

Page 69: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

because each chord is a quartal arrangement of notes from the C ascending

melodic minor scale (see example fill).

Rhythm/ Meter/Tempo

The tempo of the first movement is moderately slow (quarter note at 92 beats

per minute), and the time signature is four-four. These two elements remain

constant with two exceptions. Both of these anomalies are short, but mark

significant points in the composition. They are at locations of contrast and

momentary rest in the development of the passacaglia's melodic, harmonic, and

orchestrational elements. The first is at measure twenty-nine. This is at the end

of the second statement of the aaab formal groupings and is approximately half

way through the composition. The second location is at the end of the third

aaab grouping. This is a particularly significant passage because it follows the

climax in measures 45 and 46.

In measure twenty-nine the meter changes for one bar to the compound time

of six-eight. This occurs at the beginning of theme b 2. The meter change

reinforces the contrasting nature of b 2's harmonic and melodic elements.

Instead of the octatonic derived polytonality of the passacaglia, there is a series

of descending eighth note quartal chords. In the next bar the meter returns to

four-four, and a succession of four half note quartal chords are sustained before

the passacaglia returns in measure thirty-two (see example 1 r).

(Example 1 r) Meter change in theme b

Measmes 28-32

The changes of meter in measures 45 and 46 occur at the end of the

movement's climax. Here a measure of three-four is followed by a

18

Page 71: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

measure of one-four. This could be written as a single measure of four-four, but

by notating the passage in this manner, the conclusion of the melodic phrase

falls on a metrically strong beat. There is a fermata at the one-four measure

followed by a cesura. This pause reinforces a feeling of momentary rest at a

significant juncture in the piece and adds additional weight to climax. The

meter then returns to four-four at the beginning of theme b 3. (see example 2r).

Measures 44-49

If one were to chart the rhythmic activity of the first movement, one would find

that it steadily increases from the beginning to the movement's climax in

measures 45 and 46. At this point, the rhythmic activity is at its highest level and

eighth and sixteenth note passages predominate (To view this process in more

detail, see the musical examples in the melody section.). At measure fourty­

seven, the level of rhythmic activity drops off precipitously and then again build

gently, but at a much lower level, to the last restatement of the section b at

measure sixty-one. In the last three measures the activity slopes off to zero.

19

Page 72: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

Orchestration

Orchestration is utilized to help articulate the formal divisions of the first

movement. It is also used to reflect the same pattern of development that the

other musical elements such as rhythm, melody, and dynamics follow. That is,

like these other elements, the instrumentation starts simply, builds steadily with

each repetition of the passacaglia theme, reaches a climax with a tutti passage

in measures 40-45, and finally returns to the simplicity of the beginning.

By comparing each of the four major sections (A1, A2, As, and A4), it is easy to

trace this process through the course of the movement. In A1, each of the

melodic lines is played by one or two instruments at a time. The first statement

of the passacaglia theme is made by two French Horns. At measure 5 a single

bassoon takes over the passacaglia. A flute and clarinet enter with the melody

and counter melody respectively, while the piano plays an accompanying

figure. With the next statement of the passacaglia, an oboe enters to double the

flute, and the bass clarinet reinforces the bassoon. With the exception of the

French Horns heard in the first four bars, and the piano, all these timbres come

from the woodwind family.

At theme b (mm. 13-16), the vibraphone doubles the piano, flute, and bass

clarinet with a series of sustained quartal chords. It is important to note that the

four statements of theme bare the only places in the movement where the

vibraphone is heard. The unique timbre of this instrument helps reinforce the

contrasting nature of this theme, and its ability to sustain long note values and

gentle sound make it the right instrument for this passage.

In section A2, the brass enters and states the passacaglia. The

instrumentation is bassoon, muted trombones, and trumpet. Next the French

horns and bassoons state it, and then the two groups combine to state the

passacaglia. This antiphonal procedure is reflected in the woodwinds as well.

The clarinets and piccolo trade statements of the melody with the flutes , oboes,

and English horn.

Section A2 is where the percussion is first heard as well. The timpani enters

with a series of rolls. When the movement builds to a climax in section As, the

20

Page 73: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

timpani is joined by suspended cymbal, castanets, xylophone, and tam-tam.

The height of activity for the percussion is in measures 41-45. Here the the

timpani and suspended cymbal join together to play a succession of

crescendoing rolls that are accentuated by the tam-tam.

Even though section A3 (mm. 32-48) is the movement's climax and the point

of thickest instrumental texture, it begins with only piano stating harmonized

variations of the melody and passacaglia theme, and the timpani doubling the

bass. This dramatic change in instrumentation, however, only heightens the

eventual buildup to the full ensemble that reaches its pinnacle at measures 41-

45. At this spot the woodwind and brass sections state the melody and

passacaglia theme. The piano, doubled by the xylophone, plays a soloistic

sixteenth note passage. The percussion, as previously discussed, intensify the

climax with a series of rolls.

The next statement of the passacaglia (Measures 49-52) is once again solo

piano. At this point the instrumentation is at its simplest level since the first few

measures of the piece. The woodwinds used in measures 9-12 join the piano in

the final two repetitions of the passacaglia. The use of this particular

combination of instruments reinforces the idea of a return to the beginning. One

final restatement of theme b by the piano and vibraphone ends the movement.

21

Page 74: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

Dynamics

On a large scale, a chart of the dynamic levels of the first movement would

look very similar to a chart of rhythmic activity (see example 1 Q). The piece

begins at mezzo piano and gradually builds to fortissimo at the climax in

measure fourty-six. The overall dynamic level then returns to a mezzo piano

until measure sixty-one, where it decrescendos to piano in the last three

measures.

Page 76: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

Form

The form of the second movement can be analyzed two different ways (For a

detailed graphic representation, see the form chart at the end of this section.). It

could be viewed as a compound rounded binary or as a five-part rondo form. In

the rounded binary model, the {A} section consists of a ternary form [A][B][A]

starting in measure nine and ending in measure ninety-eight. The {B} section

consists of a binary form [C][A] starting at measure ninety-nine and ending at

measure one-hundred and fifty-seven.

{A} {B}

[A][B][A] [C][A]

In the five-part rondo model, the formal division of the second movement is:

[A]1 [B] [A]2 [C] [A]3

mm.9-41 mm.42-60 mm.61-98 mm.99-140 mm.141-156

In each model the component parts are the same. The only difference is the

addition of the extra layer of formal organization that groups together [A][B][A]

and [C][A] into two larger units. The argument for this extra level of organization

is based on the proportional sizes of the constituent units. The brevity of [A]3

(sixteen measures), and its imbalance in relation to [C] (forty-two measures),

makes it difficult to view the two sections as of equal importance. This lends

credence to the view that [A]3 is not independent of [C] but only a brief

restatement of previous material after a large contrasting section.

In support of the rondo view, however, it could be argued that the

proportional sizes of [C] and [A]3 are not important. Often in sonata-rondo forms

[C] is a larger section that acts as a development. Here [C] contains materials

evolved from previously stated themes as well as new material. In this respect it

could be considered a development. In rondo forms, restatements of the refrain

are often abbreviated as well. Together these two facts could nullify the

asymmetrical proportion argument for viewing the second movement as a

rounded binary.

It could be argued that this ambiguity in respect to the formal organization of

the second movement creates more interest in the mind of the listener. This is

24

Page 77: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

not a composition that simply follows an already existing model. Conventional

formal units are identifiable, but are not used in such a way as to be cliche.

On a smaller level of formal organization, seven different themes can be

identified. They are labeled a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. Themes a, b, and c are all

important parts of section [AJ. Theme a is the principal four bar melody of [AJ.

Several times it is followed by a four bar cadential extension (see example 1 '{).

(Example 1 O Theme a with cadential extension

(see example 20 follows the second statement of a in section A1, and theme c

follows the second statement of a in section A2. Both are also used as bridges

between the large formal division of [AJ and its contrasting sections, [BJ and [CJ.

Theme c is used as a transition between [A1J and [BJ (mm.42-44) and between

[A2J and [CJ (mm. 99-101 ). Theme bis used as a retransition between [CJ and

[A3J (mm.138-140).

Theme d occurs in section [B] (mm. 45-60). It is a two measure phrase that is

first repeated four times centered on a C-minor tonality. It is then sequenced

through the tonalities of G, B-flat, A-flat, and G-flat (see example 3().

Section [C] introduces themes e, f, and g. Themes e and fare similar

texturally and harmonically (Both are homophonic and polychordal). They are

also similar to theme bin that respect, and could be considered derived from it.

There are enough differences, however, to warrant labeling them as contrasting

themes (see example 4()

Theme g is almost totally new material. The only characteristic it shares with

themes b, c, e, and f is the use of polychords. The most striking difference is

the four-four meter. This is the only place in the entire movement that common

time is heard (see example 5t).

(Example St) Theme g

Themeg1

Measures 134-137

In addition to these themes there is also an eight measure introduction that

sets up the harmonic and rhythmic structure of the [A] section and a coda. The

coda is nothing more than theme c followed by theme band a final melodic run

that concludes the piece (see example 6t).

Melody

The melody of theme a is derived from an F minor pentatonic scale (F, A-flat,

B-flat, C, and E-flat.). It mostly moves in scalewise fashion with an occasional

leap of a fourth or fifth. The total range of the melody is an octave with E-flat

being the highest and lowest notes. The cadential extension that often follows

theme a outlines a four note quartal arpeggio starting on F. The melody can be

broken down into two almost identical sub-phrases. An important motive is the

descending eighth and two-sixteenth note rhythmic figure that occurs three

times within each sub phrase. It is interesting to note that the predominant

descending feel of theme a is counterbalanced by the ascending arpeggios of

the cadential extension(see example 1 m) .

Theme b starts on D and ascends a major tenth to F-sharp. Once again this

ascending motion is used in contrast with the descending motion of theme a.

The intervalic content of theme b also contrasts with a. Instead of pentatonic

scalar motion, most of the melody outlines an F-sharp major arpeggio. The

eighth and two sixteenth note rhythmic motive is seen in augmentation as well

(see example 2m).

Theme c is also used in contrast with theme a, and it functions as a link to

section [B] as well (and later to section [C]). Since [B] begins in the tonality of

the dominant, the second and third measures of theme c have a secondary

dominant function. It is an octatonic derived melodic line, but the arrangement of

the pitches suggests a G dominant tonality. The rhythmic motive from theme a is

also present in retrograde form (see example 3m).

(Example 3m) Melodic construction of theme c

m:laloni.: derived

Meassures 42-44

The primary melodic idea of section [B] is theme d. It is similar to a in that

both are derived from minor pentatonic scales. The scale used here, however,

is C-minor. The fifth of the scale is missing from the melody, but it is present in

the accompaniment. The intervalic content emphasizes wider leaps than a.

Though there is still some stepwise motion and smaller leaps, there are also

jumps of a minor seventh and major sixth. The rhythm is a steady succession of

eighth notes. This gives d a continuously flowing but static feel (no beginning

or end.). The fact that it is repeated several times reinforces this perception.

Because of its shortness (two measures) and static nature, it might not even be

appropriate to call this a theme. A motivic cell might be a better term (see

example 4m).

31

Page 84: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

(Example 4m) Melodic construction of motivic cell d

Measures 45-46

Section [C] uses short repeated ideas as well. Their nature is more rhythmic

and harmonic than melodic. Because of that, they will be referred to as cells.

Two important and similar ideas in section [C] are motivic cells e and f. The

melody of cell e centers around the central pitch E. Cell f outlines an A-major

arpeggio. Even though they are in different time signatures, both use rhythmic

motives that emphasize a contrast between triple and duple subdivisions of the

beat. Cell e is two measures long. Cell f, in its first and second statements,

could be viewed as one six measure idea or as a one measure idea that is

repeated six times with melodic variation. Since its last statement is only three

measures in length with no real melodic loss, the one measure view is probably

more accurate (see example 5m).

The last significant melodic materials to be introduced in the second

movement are motivic cell g and three short passages that are used to link

32

Page 85: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

together cells e, t, and g. Motivic cell g is two measures in length, each

measure containing an ascending sixteenth note arpeggio pattern. The first

arpeggio outlines what could be interpreted as either an A-minor seventh chord

or a C-add sixth chord. Since the harmony of that measure is a polytonal F­

major over C-major chord, it might be more accurate to describe it as an

incomplete arpeggio of the two combined chords. The arpeggio outlined in the

second measure of the cell is that of an F-sharp seventh chord. Several of the

pitches of this arpeggio are a half step higher than the corresponding pitches of

the first arpeggio. At first hearing, the passage appears to be sequential, but a

closer look reveals this to be a false sequence (see example 6m).

An example of one of the melodic links used in section [C] is the octatonic

sixteenth note passage in measures 130-131. The first half of this melodic run,

except for one note, outlines a descending D-flat dominant seventh arpeggio.

The second half is an ascending octatonic scale. All the notes in this passage

are derived from a single octatonic scale (see example 7m).

Harmony

The harmonic vocabulary of the second movement is rich and varied. Tertian

chords (both traditional and extended) are used in addition to quartal,

polychordal, and added note chords. Even though the harmonic vocabulary is

twentieth century, the root movement and tonal centers are often those of

traditional tonal harmony.

By mapping out the major tonal centers of this movement, one finds that they

mostly consist of tonic (F-minor), dominant (Various C tonalities), and secondary

dominant (G dominant) tonalities (see example 1 h). However these traditional

tonal root relationships are often disguised by the polychordal sonorities above

them.

(Example 1 h) Chart of primary tonal centers

Primary tonality

CF I 157 1165

The tonic key of the second movement is F-minor. All of the [A] sections are

in this key. The harmony, however, is more modal than tonal. This modality is

blurred through the use of devices such as split sevenths, and quartal

harmonization of the melody. In the first statement of theme a (Measures 9-16.),

the bass part alternates between F,C, and E-natural. Meanwhile the melody

and an accompanying figure both play E-flats. This occurs not only here, but in

several restatements (mm. 17-21, 26-35, 61-74, and 141-156.) and therefore

should be viewed as an important part of the harmonic vocabulary (~

example 2h).

Quartal harmony is also used in five statements of theme a. In measures 36-

41 and 141-153, the piano harmonizes the melody with three part quartal

chords (see example 3h). In section A3 (mm. 79-98), the woodwinds and brass

play short accented quartal chords that contrast against the melody (see

example 4h).

Polychordal harmony is used extensively in the second movement. The two

contrasting themes of the [A] section (themes band c) both use bi-chords. In the

first measure of theme b, polychordal harmony is implied by triads being played

over contrasting bass notes (0-triad over F-bass, F-triad over E-bass.).

35

Page 88: Intelligentsia Suite: Score and Analysis

Next a C-major triad is repeated in the bass register, while in the upper register

an F-sharp major triad moves through a series of inversions (see example 5h).

In theme c ,a single repeated C-major triad acts as a pedal in the lower voice,

while a series of parallel descending major triads are heard above it. The

polychordal passage ends with C triads both in the upper and lower voices (~

example 6h).

Thematic cells f and g use polychords exclusively. As in themes band c, a

C-major chord (Either a triad or dominant seventh.) is the bottom component.

In cell f, this lower component is a C seventh chord without a third. In some

statements, this chord is made more dissonant by lowering the fifth. Above the

C chord is an A-major triad. If this polychord were analyzed as a single entity, it

would be a C dominant thirteenth chord with a lowered ninth. The third is

supplied by the E in the A-major triad (see example 7h).

Cell g is even more harmonically complex than cell f. AC-major chord is still

the bottom part of the harmony, but several different triads are heard above it.

By using various triads in contrast against the C chord, the dissonance level

and harmonic color is varied. As the passage moves towards its climax, more

dissonance is introduced. In measure 132, the relatively consonant

combination of F over C is heard. In the next measure, the more dissonant E­

flat and F-sharp triads are heard over C. In measure 136, the even more

dissonant combination of D-flat over C is introduced. In measure 137, this

dissonance is reduced with pure C sonorities being heard as well as

polychords. (see example Bh)

Extended tertian harmony is also used in section [C]. If the first measure of

37

motivic cell e is viewed as a single chord, then it could be analyzed as a G

dominant thirteenth with a raised ninth and raised eleventh. The second

measure of the cell could be analyzed either as a polychordal E triad over G, or

as a variation of the G thirteenth chord, this time with a lowered ninth and

without the sharp eleventh (see example 9h).

Tempo/ Meter/Rhythm

The metric organization of movement two is much more complex and varied

than movement one. The second movement uses a variety of time signatures

and changes frequently between them. The meters used include compound,

simple, and asymmetric time signatures. These metric changes, however , are

not arbitrary, but often help articulate major divisions within the form.

The basic metric pattern of sections [A] and [BJ is a regular alternation

between a measure of six-eight and and a measure of two-four. With the

exception of a measure of three-four within both themes band c, and a metric

reorganization of theme a in measures 79-98, this pattern is used throughout

both sections. This basic six-eight/two-four pattern is established in the

introduction by an ostinato bass figure in the low woodwinds and an

accompaniment figure in the piano and xylophone (see example 1 r).

The first major change in this metric scheme occurs when theme a is restated

in section A3 (Measures 79-98). The meter is altered to coincide with a chordal

accompaniment figure. This new metric organization of theme a is now two

measures of five-eight followed by a measure of six-eight and a measure of two­

four. (see example 2[).

Measures 79-82

The melodic and harmonic contrast between sections [AJ and [CJ have

already been discussed. This contrast is true rhythmically as well. The regular

alternation of six-eight and two-four that is so prevalent in sections [AJ and BJ, is

only found here in the statements of thematic cell e (mm.106-111.).

Any sense of metric regularity that might have been previously established

is quickly disrupted in the first seven bars of [CJ. In each measure a different

time signature is used. Three-four, two-four, six-eight, and three-eight are all

heard (see example 3r). The purpose of this is to create a sense of uncertainty

in the listener, and to signal that something new musically lies ahead.

After a brief return to the alternating six-eight/ two-four metric scheme in

thematic cell e ( mm. 106-111.) , cell f is introduced employing a five-eight time

signature. This is the primary meter of measures 112 through 129. The only

exceptions are two short linking passages of solo piano (Measures 118-119

and measure 126.). The first uses a measure of six-eight followed by a

measure of three-four. The second consists of a single measure of three-four

time. The five-eight time signature, homophonic texture, and repetitive

percussive nature of cell f all add to sense of building tension and climax(~

example 4r).

Measures 117-127

After a final two measure link in six-eight time, the musical tension that has

been building is finally resolved in measures 132 to 137. The destination of all

the shifting meters and asymmetrical time-signatures that characterized section

[CJ up to this point is a passage in the most common of meters, four-four. This

creates in the mind of the listener a feeling of arrival and metric stability. These

six measures are the only place in the entire second movement where common

time is heard and are the most contrasting to the original metric scheme of

section [A] (see example 5r).

Measures 130-137

After a restatement of theme b that acts as bridge, section [A] returns one last

time with its original six-eight/ two-four metric alternation. This pattern is

repeated until the coda, which is a combined statement of themes c and b.

Orchestration

One of the most important functions of the orchestration is to articulate the

form of the second movement. Each of the three main sections ([A], [B], and [C].)

uses instrumentation and timbre in a particular way in order to differentiate it

from the other two. The repetitions of section [A], even though similar in many

ways, are orchestrationally varied to provide a degree of contrast to previous

statements. On an even smaller level, contrasts in timbre are used to highlight

individual themes and motives.

The statement of themes a and bin measures 17-25 is typical of the way

section [A] is orchestrated. In theme a, the trumpets state the melody. The

piano and xylophone play an accompaniment figure, and the trombones double

the piano with an ostinato bass pattern. In theme b the trumpets and

trombones are silent, and the high woodwinds enter to double the piano in a

harmonized statement of the melody. The French Horns double the piano in the

bass register (see example 1 o)

Orchestrational variations of statements of theme a include using the bass

clarinet, bassoons, and timpani to play the bass figure (mm. 9-16), and using

the xylophone, piano, first clarinet, and piano to play the melody (mm. 36-40).

The most dramatically different statement of theme a occurs in measures 79-98.

Here the piano plays the melody in the bass register, while the high brass and

woodwinds punctuate it with short quartal chords.

The xylophone is used exclusively in section [A]. This provides a unique

color that helps define the sound of [A]. Its absence in sections [B] and [C]

highlights their contrasting nature as well. Two other percussion instruments

that are used only in section [A] are the tambourine and castanets. Together,

with the suspended cymbal and whip, they provide a rhythmic underpinning

and punctuate key spots in the music.

The most noticeable feature of section [B] (Measures 45-60) is the antiphonal

use of the woodwinds and brass. In the first eight measures they trade theme d

back and fourth. In the next eight measures this call and response is blurred by

using various instruments that overlap statements of the theme.

The utilization of snare drum and triangle is unique in [B]. These instruments

provide the same rhythmic function the tambourine, castanets, and cymbal did

in [A]. The timberal difference, however, once again helps define the formal

divisions within the movement.

The most important orchestrational feature of section [C] (mm. 98-140) is the

prominence of the piano and the brass. The piano, which so far has acted as a

member of the ensemble, albeit an important one, is finally given a soloistic

role. From measure 98 to 106 it is the sole instrument. At measure 107 the

woodwinds enter with sparse chordal punctuations.

At measure 112, the brass enter and play tutti statements of motivic cell f with

the piano. These passages are linked together by short virtuosic piano runs.

The woodwinds provide additional color with short percussive chords and

pyramiding crescendos (see examgle 2o)

Measures 120-127

In the statements of motivic cell g (mm. 132-137) the woodwinds are absent

altogether while the brass are the supporting texture of this passage. The

piano's soloistic sixteenth note runs of the linking passages return in this

section. The percussion, which has been absent in section [CJ so far, reenters

to add additional rhythmic punch. The woodwinds do not make their return until

measure 138 with a restatement of theme b. This leads to the final restatement

of section [A] and a return to the instrumental timbres associated with it.

Dynamics The chart of movement one's dynamic levels shows a fairly simple arch

shape that starts softly, rises to fortissimo dynamic levels, and then grows softer

again at the finish. The chart of movement two's dynamics is more complicated

and dramatic (see example 1 Q). There are many sudden drops from forte to

piano levels and then short crescendos back to forte. This occurs throughout

the entire movement, but the section of greatest dynamic contrast is [C] (mm. 99-

140). In this section the changes are frequent and abrupt. The statements of

[A] are relatively stable in comparison.

Conclusion

The analysis of the musical elements of Intelligentsia Suite reveals an

eclectic piece that uses both traditional and modern vocabulary. For example,

the form of each movement can be identified using traditional models. The use

of the octatonic scale, however, can be considered modern. Harmonically,

these traditional and modern elements are often intertwined.

In the second movement polychords are used to diguise standard tonic,

dominant, and secondary dominant tonal relationships. Rhythmically this

contrast of modern and traditional materials exists as well. The first movement

is almost entirely in four-four time. The second movement uses simple,

compound, and asymmetrical meters and frequently alternates between them.

If one felt it necessary to apply a label, the Intelligentsia Suite might best be

called neoclassic. This term, which is often associated with certain works of Igor

Stravinsky, is used to describe a composition that employs particular traditional

musical elements but with a modern sensibility. The analysis clearly shows that

both these characteristics exist within the piece.
