Abstract

Aurea (pronounced au ray' a) is a composition for large orchestra composed by Robert Cronin. It was completed in January of 1996 and is approximately 12 minutes in length. It partially fulfills the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Composition at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. This thesis documents the origins, form, and principle features of Aurea. It also includes a comparison to works and techniques of other composers that influenced its composition. By comparing and contrasting this information, a deeper understanding of the composer's work will be gained.
