ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONExtended Techniques and Vocal Simulations in Frank Ticheli's First Voice for Solo Bb Trumpet By Courtney Dion Jones Doctor of Musical Arts in Trumpet PerformanceUniversity of California, Los Angeles, 2015Professor Jens Lindemann, ChairUnaccompanied works for trumpet that emerged during the latter half of the twentieth century (mainly since 1970) pushed the limits of technical facility well beyond what was heard in solo concerti or collaborative consorts of earlier eras and set new standards and expectations of what could be performed on the instrument. Frank Ticheli was a leader in these innovations; his compositions not only expanded the range and tonal qualities of the instrument, but also introduced more specialized techniques (such as speech simulation through vocal realizations and new modes of melodic writing involving disjunctive melodic patterns). Some of these techniques can be attributed to influences from jazz and contemporary idioms, as reflected in notational conventions familiar to jazz artists, but they also use innovative approaches to performance practice and new philosophical orientations.
