avondale-bepress-to-dspace.summary<p><strong>Research Background:</strong> This critical commentary was written to demonstrate the author's aptitude for research and writing in relation to the analysis of a major musical work. This critical commentary was written in April 2015 as part of a submission for a doctor of musical arts application to study Conducting through the Conservatorium of Music at the University of Sydney. In 2021 the editor of Australian National Choral Association (ANCA) Sing Out Magazine approached the author to submit this article for publication in the aforementioned magazine.The article was subsequently published in the March 2022 edition of Sing Out Magazine.</p> <p><strong>Research Contribution: </strong>This critical commentary examines Duruflé's Requiem from the unique aspect of the historically informed performance researcher. The unique insights gained from the author's research would benefit greatly any future performance of this work. Of particular interest is a) the composer's unique use of Gregorian Chant as a compositional device upon which the entire foundation of requiem is constructed, and b) the recommended recordings at the conclusion of the article.</p> <p><strong>Research Significance: </strong>The author made every effort to demonstrate evidence of excellence in research by finding and citing authentic sources of information eg. examining original manuscripts and where possible quoting the Composer and/or established musicologist authors who are acknowledged as specialist authorities on Duruflé research.</p>
avondale-bepress.abstract<p>Maurice Duruflé's <em>Requiem</em> is one of the most beloved of all requiems. Much scholarly discussion centres on Duruflé's supposed source(s) of inspiration for this work. The debate gravitates around his treatment of existing Gregorian chant melodies with one author even suggesting 'elegant theft'. This critical commentary makes a thorough analysis of this work and examines the role of Gregorian chant as the basis for composition.</p>
