The Integration of Ethnic Instruments into Western Art Music
Margaret Collins Stoop
PhD Dissertation, Music Composition
Trinity College Dublin
Abstract
This dissertation presents eight original musical compositions which include seven different
ethnic instruments: the Native American flute, the Irish uilleann pipes, the Persian tar, the Persian
santoor, the Chinese xiao, and the Irish low D and high D tin whistles. The ethnic instruments are
integrated into ensembles with western orchestral instruments, and a cultural exchange occurs
between differing genres.
Integration of the ethnic instruments into western art music ensembles necessitates an
understanding of the original contexts of the instruments as a frame of reference for further
exploration and expansion of the repertoire for the instruments. Research was conducted on each of
the instruments through the reading of authoritative texts, listening to the traditional music as well
as new compositions for the instruments, interviews with musicians, and personal experimentation
on the instruments. A discussion of the history and tradition of each of the instruments is included
with the commentaries on the compositions. | en |
