DocuSign Envelope ID:6368FECC-3C91-49C7-983E-AA65A76D339E Narrative- Dr.Lindsay A.Leach-Sparks Proposed Project— In the spring of 2012, 1 completed my doctoral dissertation entitled Performing Hugo Kauder:An Expansion of Flute Literature in order to bring the chamber music of the largely unknown Austrian-American composer Hugo Kauder (1888-1972) to light in academia and musical performance circles. Hugo Kauder combines the attributes of Renaissance and modern styles,writes in a vocal idiom,and creates unique instrumental ensemble combinations making his music,challenging,interesting,and enjoyable.Although these qualities and compositional techniques can be found in some other classical literature,their combination in Kauder's repertoire represents a unique opportunity for study and performance. With the Fall 2014-2015 Orange County Artist Project Grant,I plan to continue to promote my research and expose the community at large to the music of Hugo Kauder through concerts,lecture-recitals,and a professional CD recording featuring the music of Hugo Kauder. My CD recording will be published for digital distribution (on iTunes,Amazon, CD Baby,and other distributors) and will include the first professionally published recordings of Kauder's Trio No.2 for Flute, Oboe, Piano; Trio for Flute, Cello, Piano; Trio for Flute, Horn, Piano; Sonata for Flute and Piano; and Suite for Flute Alone. I received a Spring 2014-2015 Orange County Artist Grant in the amount of$500,and I have designated that money for use as part of the musician/artistic staff budget. I plan to use the Fall 2014-2015 Artist Grant for technical production staff(Vochor Recording services) and marketing (CD production, replication and distribution). The concert portion of the project will help to promote the music of Kauder and create local interest in Kauder's music and the CD. Concerts have already been performed at Carolina Meadows, Croasdaile Village,and Meredith College (programs included in this application). Upcoming concerts include Carol Woods and other possible concert venues in 2015 will include (but are not limited to) UNC Chapel Hill campus recitals,Duke Chapel concert series recitals,Moore County concert series (at the Weymouth Center, Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church,and Cameron Presbyterian Church), UNC Pembroke campus recitals, and Methodist University recitals. I am also planning several regional and national lecture-recitals featuring Kauder music that will help to foster interest in the composer and this CD.The first of these was for the Raleigh Area Flute Association (RAFA) Festival this past November, and I have two more scheduled for the Kentucky Flute Festival (Louisville, KY January 17, 2015) and the Florida Flute Fair (Orlando, FL January 31, 2015). Other lecture- recitals venues still in application include the Mid-Atlantic Flute Fair (Alexandria,VA), the Central Ohio Flute Association (Columbus,OH), Pittsburgh Flute Club (Pittsburgh, PA), Flute Society Mid-South (Tennessee),the Atlanta Flute Club (Georgia),and the National Flute Association (Washington DC- 2015 and San Diego, CA- 2016).
