Abstract
This dissertation delves into the unique instrumentation and textural decisions present in Gabriel Fauré's Requiem and a newly composed companion work, No Ke Kanu Ana o Ke Kupapau, for choir, organ, and chamber orchestra. Both choral orchestral pieces are examined, and the primary emphasis of the dissertation is on the composition and analysis of No Ke Kanu Ana o Ke Kupapau. By exploring the distinct approaches to instrumentation and text setting, this study aims to illuminate the significance of these decisions within the context of each work.The study provides a brief introduction to Fauré’s Requiem, focusing on its unique instrumentation and text setting, and proceeds to analyze No Ke Kanu Ana o Ke Kupapau movement by movement to show insight into their connection. This analysis highlights the specific influences that shape each section of the companion piece and demonstrates how these elements are integrated into a unique compositional voice, resulting in a work that both complements Fauré’s Requiem in terms of texture and thematic content.
In the concluding section, the dissertation delves into the use of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi in No Ke Kanu Ana o Ke Kupapau, investigating how it builds upon and distinguishes itself from established precedents in the ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi choral canon. By identifying the innovative approaches to text setting and language in this work, the study contributes to the understanding of how No Ke Kanu Ana o Ke Kupapau seeks to serves as both a strong contribution to the Hawaiian language choral canon and a fitting companion to Fauré’s Requiem.
