Title A name given to the resource Dream and Variations Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1974 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Moore, Dorothy Rudd (1940-2022) Description An account of the resource Black composer Dororthy Rudd Moore's "Dream and Variations" for solo piano was composed in September 1974. As written in an article by <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/project/hidden-voices/2020/04/26/dream-and-variations-dorothy-rudd-moore">Anastasia Pavlenko</a>: "Dream and Variations is a substantial work for solo piano written by D. Moore in September 1974. Twenty-one pages long, the piece is graded as advanced level. It consists of an introduction, a theme, and six variations. Unlike Moore’s “Dream Variation” from the song cycle From the Dark Tower, the piece has nothing to do with Langston Hughe’s poem “Dream Variation.” According to the separate program notes provided by the composer, this piece brings a darker, even nightmarish interpretation to the dream idea. Extremely atonal in nature, the variations are built on two characters: dreamy and mischievous. Full of octaves and dense chords, this piece requires a pianist who has good stamina, well-mastered pianistic skills, big hands, and ability to produce big sound. Some other difficulties are jumps, changing key signatures, chromaticism, and changing tempo markings within each variation. Additionally, it requires a performer to have an exceptional interpretative vision to highlight thematic connection between variations, which is not easily distinguished. Dorothy Rudd Moore (b. 1940) is an African-American composer and educator. Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, Moore began her musical path with studying piano and clarinet, singing in a school choir, and aspiring to be a composer. Her parents fully supported such aspiration, and so Moore ended up studying Composition at Howard University with Mark Flex, in France with Nadia Boulanger, and in New York with Chou Wen Chung. She wrote numerous works which include symphonic works, chamber music, song cycles, one opera, and some piano pieces. Her works are available through the American Composers Alliance. In 1968 she became a co-founder of the Society of Black Composers in New York City. Moore is considered to be one of the leading composers of color that began their musical career in the XX century."

As a “fantasia” it is a free form improvisation and does not stick to the form of Haden’s original as “variations” would in the classical tradition. It was transcribed by Karl Marino, one of my brilliant students from Berklee and now can be played as a “classical” piece without improvisation."

Title A name given to the resource Deformation V Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1993 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nash, Gary Powell Description An account of the resource Black composer Gary Nash composed "Deformation V" for bassoon and piano. As described on the <a href="https://garynash.musicaneo.com/about.html">composer's website</a>: "Deformation V, a six minute, single movement composition for bassoon and piano, completed February 6, 1993 was composed for Barrick Stees, bassoon and Phillip Hosford, piano and premiered by Mark Alex Williams, bassoon and Choonwoo Kim, piano on April 25, 1993 at the “Premieres of New Music Concert” at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI. Out of all other “Deformation” compositions written by Gary Powell Nash, Deformation V is the most successful, in regards to the title relating to the overall musical outcome. Using J.S. Bach’s Allegro from Sonata II in A minor for Solo Violin as a major premise, Nash took the 3 most common musical events from the J.S. Bach model, which include five note arpeggios, octave displacement and the motive 8th, 16th, 16th, 8th, 8th, 8th, 8th, 8th note rhythm and manufactured newer melodies and musical events. Deformation V commences with the bassoon performing a direct quote from the J.S. Bach model while the piano plays sustained dissonances underneath, occurring through the first eight measures. At measure 9, the music becomes more and more obscure from the model as Nash implements those newer discoveries into the composition. Such discoveries/musical events include quintuplet rhythms derived from the five note arpeggios and metric modulations based on those same patterns. Deformation V features fast paced music throughout much of the composition with a contrasting slow section in the middle, which concludes with a solo cadenza and return to the fast music in the opening section, as also displayed in all other Gary Powell Nash “Deformations”."
