Abstract
The subject of this dissertation is a critical analysis of Paul Dooley¿s three-movement work, MANIFESTOS . While the need for scholarly analyses of wind band works is great from those teach and perform within the wind band world, there is no common template for the analysis of wind band works by scholars within the genre. The focus of this document is a modified paradigmatic analysis of Dooley¿s work, akin to the theories of Nicolas Ruwet, wherein no analytical assumptions are presumed. The composer¿s musical decisions served to guide the author to delineate the salient analytical imperatives within each movement, after rigorous historical inquiry, intensive score study and personal interviews with the composer. The dissertation¿s body is divided into six parts: an introduction expressing the need for study and the genesis of Dooley¿s composition, updated biography of the composer, a historical primer on the early twentieth-century avant-garde movements known as Futurism and Cubism, and a description of the methodology employed to analyze the work. A movement-by-movement analysis follows the methodology, including the history of the literary or artistic subject of each specified movement, and complementary musical examples, tables, and charts. Each analytical chapter concludes with additional considerations which contribute to further understanding of a movement-specific element. Following the conclusion, the dissertation includes a transcription of an interview with the composer, a current catalog of the composer¿s works, official program notes compiled by the author and approved by the composer, an appendix which includes several historically relevant documents, and a complete bibliography.
