Music in Theatre
A portfolio of compositions and
accompanying commentary.
Masters thesis, National University of Ireland Maynooth.
Abstract
These compositions have been created with a view to explore a soundworld inspired
by different genres within the realm of music in theatre, primarily opera and musical theatre.
The music I have written reflects the research that I have conducted of these genres, and
demonstrates musical elements that are frequently associated with each genre, but not
typically used together in one piece of music. I have chosen to focus primarily on these two
genres because I am intrigued by the vastly different critical reception, public perception and
general popularity of the art forms. The chasm in the reception of these two examples of
music in theatre is made all the more interesting given the fact that they are (seemingly) very
similar genres. The following dissertation details the research that I have completed prior to
completing the compositions more explicitly, and serves to further validate the portfolio of
music as a product of academic investigation.
