My dissertation monograph will be based on research about the way in which early spiritual music has been used by major composers of the western "classical" tradition. My research will focus on the way in which the "struggle" that the people of the southern United States, mostly the African American diaspora, have endured over the past two centuries has been immortalized in musical hymns and songs, and how this music has been interpreted, appropriated and in some cases quoted by composers. I will investigate how works like Porgy and Bess by George Gershwin, A Woman's Life by Richard Danielpour and A Child of Our Time by Michael Tippett have used the material from spiritual African American music in very unique and different ways. I will also research works by contemporary composers that use early hymns or ancient musical "objects" as the foundational blocks of the work like Folias and An Armenian Requiem by Ian Krouse and Folk Songs by Luciano Berio. This research will inform my own composition for guitar and orchestra which I will be writing simultaneously. As an example, one musical genre that has roots back to the days of slavery is gospel music. As slaves became Christians, a religion forced upon them, they began singing hymns later termed spirituals. These spirituals later evolved into gospel music. With the abolition of slavery, a new form of music began to emerge. Free blacks found themselves expressing their disappointment in a post-slavery society. This genre became known as the blues. I will investigate how the common thread that unites these cries for justice and laments is then used by different composers as the main inspiration for the piece in the western classical tradition. Moreover, I will provide an analysis of carefully chosen works from the canon that have a spiritual or ancient hymn or song as their central idea. How successful were these works in delivering the message embedded in this found musical object? Did they use the original source and if so, how was it presented? Did the source music influence the overall dramatic arch of the work? Is the original music represented in a more abstract way where the composer "re-wrote" it in his or her own personal voice? Examples of African American spiritual hymns that I will research are: "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", and "Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child". Simultaneously, I will make reference to earlier examples of spiritual hymns as found objects with examples from J.S. Bach and Mozart among others.My aim with this monograph is to gain a solid understanding of spiritual hymns in western music so that my own work can be a true musical crossbreeding that embodies my own personal heritage and multiculturalism.

520 $a La monografia de mi tesis se basara en la investigacion sobre la forma en que los principales compositores de la tradicion occidental "clasica" han utilizado la musica espiritual primitiva. Mi investigacion se centrara en la forma en que la "lucha" que la gente del sur de los Estados Unidos, principalmente la diaspora afroamericana, ha soportado durante los ultimos dos siglos ha sido inmortalizada en himnos y canciones musicales, y como esta musica ha sido interpretado, apropiado y en algunos casos citado por compositores. Investigare como obras como Porgy and Bess de George Gershwin, A Woman's Life de Richard Danielpour y A Child of Our Time de Michael Tippett han utilizado el material de la musica espiritual afroamericana de formas muy unicas y diferentes. Tambien investigare obras de compositores contemporaneos que utilizan himnos antiguos u "objetos" musicales antiguos como los bloques fundamentales de la obra como Folias y An Armenian Requiem de Ian Krouse y Folk Songs de Luciano Berio. Esta investigacion informara mi propia composicion para guitarra y orquesta que escribire simultaneamente. Como ejemplo, un genero musical que tiene sus raices en los dias de la esclavitud es musica gospel. Cuando los esclavos se convirtieron en cristianos, una religion que se les impuso, comenzaron a cantar himnos que luego se denominaron espirituales. Estos espirituales luego evolucionaron hacia la musica gospel. Con la abolicion de la esclavitud, comenzo a surgir una nueva forma de musica. Los negros libres se encontraron expresando su decepcion en una sociedad posterior a la esclavitud. Este genero se conocio como blues. Investigare como el hilo comun que une estos gritos de justicia y lamentos son luego utilizados por diferentes compositores como la principal inspiracion para la pieza en la tradicion clasica occidental. Ademas, proporcionare un analisis de obras cuidadosamente seleccionadas del canon que tienen un himno o cancion espiritual o antigua como su idea central. ¿Que tan exitosos fueron estos trabajos en la entrega del mensaje incrustado en este objeto musical encontrado? ¿Utilizaron la fuente original y, de ser asi, como se presento? ¿Influyo la musica original en el arco dramatico general de la obra? ¿Esta la musica original representada de una manera mas abstracta donde el compositor la "reescribio" con su propia voz personal? Ejemplos de himnos espirituales afroamericanos que investigare son: "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" y "A veces me siento como un nino sin madre". Simultaneamente, hare referencia a ejemplos anteriores de himnos espirituales como objetos encontrados con ejemplos de J.S. Bach y Mozart entre otros. Mi objetivo con esta monografia es obtener una solida comprension de los himnos espirituales en la musica occidental para que mi propio trabajo pueda ser un verdadero mestizaje musical que encarne mi propia herencia personal y multiculturalismo.
