New publication: more on ascending cadence gestures after 1860

 I have published Ascending Cadence Gestures, A New Historical Survey, Part 5d: After 1860 on the Texas ScholarWorks platform: link.

Abstract:

This is Part 5d of a multi-part essay gathering compositions with ascending lines and cadence gestures in European and European-influenced music. Composers include, among others, Chaminade, Benjamin Cutter, Edward German, Grieg, Kéler, Sousa, Tchaikovsky, and Waldteufel. Additional examples come from folk song and dance collections by Elizabeth Burchenal.
