Summary: | Master of Music === Department of Music === Frank C. Tracz === This document was submitted to the Graduate School of Kansas State University as a
partial requirement for the Master’s in Music Degree. This document includes the
historical, theoretical, performance, and rehearsal consideration of the works performed
in the corresponding graduate recital. These works are Antonin Dvořák’s Serenade in D
Minor, Op. 44 and Vincent Persichetti’s Symphony Number Six for Band. The analysis
format for this report is based on the Blocker/Miles Unit Study technique found in the
Teaching Music through Performance in Band series, as well as the Tracz concept of
macro-micro score analysis. The performances of the Kansas State University Symphony
Band and a chamber ensemble which consisted of faculty and Symphony Band members
served as the basis for the technical, musical, and stylistic evaluations and analysis.
