Fustier, Paul. "La vielle à roue dans la musique baroque française : instrument de musique, objet mythique, objet fantasmé ?" Lyon 2, 2006. http://theses.univ-lyon2.fr/documents/lyon2/2006/fustier_p.
Full textThese pages have been written to explain a quaint aspect of French musical life under the reign of Louis XV. The hurdy-gurdy (Vielle à roue), which so far had been customarily an instrument used by beggars playing on streets corners (lira mendicorum), unexpectedly became the object of a sudden and powerful enthusiasm. From 1725 to 1765, with more than two hundred published pieces of music, it invaded the world of aristocracy and even conquered the royal family. In this study we are making an attempt to understand the reasons for that sudden and ephemeral passion. Our thesis is that the hurdy-gurdy became an instrument destined to serve the myth of Arcadia, commonly believed in during that period of time, by representing the image of the idealized countryman , a central character of the eighteenth century. In order to remove and purify it from any memory of its association with beggars and to make it become the Lyre of Apollo, the manufacture, the playing, the repertory of the hurdy-gurdy had to be completely transformed. The challenge was also to promote an idealized country life so as to make the hurdy-gurdy an instrument worthy to enter the Pantheon of the noble instruments of the aristocrats. . . As to the repertory, is it possible to say that the hurdy-gurdy is suitable for any high level music score? Or rather should we say that it can serve only the country repertory, which is then to be defined as music of a rustic and popular style, even though completely transformed by the influence of the Baroque

Full textChristian history in Latin America is the result of an encounter between two verydifferent civilizations: the Europe of the Counter-Reformation and the world of theGuaranis. In this meeting, Jesuit missionaries occupied the privileged position ofintermediaries between Paraguay and Europe. They initiated the Guaranis to Europeanarts and techniques, in the full radiance of their novelty. This was possible especiallythanks to the many talented musicians embarked on the missionary adventure, where,undoubtedly, emerges the figure of Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726). In return, in Americathese musicians recreated the music of Baroque aesthetics, which remained for long if notignored, at least mythical, and is unveiled to us today
Morales, Jorge. "Sigismondo d'India à la cour de Turin (1611-1623) : musique, mécénat et identité nobiliaire." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040139/document.
Full textSigismondo D’India, (1582? -1629?) a contemporary of Claudio Monteverdi, was one of the major composers of the early XVIIth century and one of the founding fathers of modern music. This thesis aims at setting him against a background which requires some reminiscing and updating, that of the court of Turin, where the musician settled between 1611 and 1623. It was the most fruitful period of his musical career, the study of which addresses three issues: music, patronage and nobiliary identity.I shall first study the movements of musicians, artists, printers and musical sources, and shall analyse besides some works by the composer. It appears that Sigismondo D’India, together a singer, a guitar-Player, a composer and a poet, stands out as one of the boldest and the most idiosyncratic musicians of his days.His musical career goes hand in hand with artistic patronage, which made his travelling easier, connected the various cities accommodating the musician and his dedicatees and facilitated creative emulation. The study of patronage through D’India’s creativity in music points out, among other things, the numerous relationships between him and his dedicatees.Finally, through the notion of nobiliary identity, I shall focus on the way in which the composer contributed to building up the cultural identity of a court while building up his own status as a nobleman. The nobiliary identity can thus be considered a first step toward national identity. I also aim at showing that D’India was perfectly up to the role of gentleman-Musician, and that his music contributed to building a model of urbanity

Full textThe aim of the present thesis is to understand the musical production of Piazzolla, especially the particular dialogue between popular and art music in his work. To do so, we located four main musical streams which origins were possible to trace: the tango, structural basis of his music, the jazz, the baroque music and the modern art music. Having shown their presence in the first part, we proceed to the analysis of the particular articulation of these elements in the second one. Certain features of the tango seem favored in this junction, constituting the basic elements mainly through the presence of melodic gestures, accompaniment models and characteristic timbres very frequently used, which assure the cohesion and musical unity as well as the identity of the Argentine urban genre. On numerous occasions, his fusion employs common characteristics of the several music crossed as a strategy for reaching the musical jointure; we also noticed in certain passages a subtle and careful dosage of the musical ingredients used. The speech of the composer analyzed in the last chapter still allowed us to identify three aspects of this relationship between popular and art music: the search for an identity, by producing a music which represents the city of Buenos Aires and Argentina; a relationship with the modernist avant-gardes, in an attempt to express the present time and to symbolize the novelty through a modern music; and the quest for legitimacy, appeared notably under the expression of the "rise" of the tango

Full textIt is thanks to the opera by Mozart, that I first studied in a DEA the link between modern poetry and music which exists in the work of four contemporary poets (Pierre Jean Jouve, Salah Stétié, Louis-René des Forêts and Yves Bonnefoy). My thesis goes further, and analyses all the musical forms which can be found in the work of those four authors, and also in the work of Philippe Jaccottet (either romantic, modern or baroque pieces, through different musical genres such as lied or opera). This research studies the different musical works listened, in order to try to define the modernity at stake in the essential link between writing and arts. It is also oriented towards pictorial and architectural art, arts which carry some metaphysical, sacred, ethical and historical values. But it also listens to the “return” of the lyricism which is specific to these 20th century's authors, to the shared choices and basements of their musical poetics, in order to draw a definition of a “new” modern lyricism: the “baroque or barosso lyricism”, which stands for committed values. This notion holds on the definition by Yves Bonnefoy, who considers that baroque is a “passionate realism”, a quest for unity in this current world and through this current world (studied in his artistic approaches). It is an open notion, non limited to its first definition, linked to the 17th century. On the contrary, it has to be confronted with the inheritance of romanticism and modernity. As a dialectical notion, it permits to study in a different way the meaning of poetical modernity, through a dialogue with the memory of the assumed culture in the world. Rejecting any form of formalism, as much as a literature reduced to carry ideas instead of creating some meaning, these poets develop opened and committed ethics, thanks to their listening of other arts. Thus, this lyricism, filled with baroque music, is no longer a way of expressing the self, but the path towards the other -whether it is the beloved woman, the sacred (more often profane) or the others (in the name of freedom and spiritual crossbreeding). The self no longer exists but through the “you” and the anchorage in the world of the referents of the presence

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze musical texts of the 17th and the first half of the 18th century through an innovative reading hypothesis. Using an intersemiotic approach to musical text, an approach that crosses linguistics and music, we show that there is another possible reading of these texts and, consequently, that there is another way of playing them
Mahé, Yann. "Les Psyché de Lully (1656-1720) : écritures et réécritures : contribution à une histoire musicale du spectacle de cour." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012TOU20105.
Full textBeyond Lully's three Psychés (a ballet in 1656 ; a tragicomedy and ballet in 1671 ; an opera in 1678) a multitude of plays or works appear between 1671 and 1718. Composed by various authors they all claim to draw their inspiration from Lully's Psychés although they differ from it or even refute its foundations. Hence, the purpose of this work is to understand how such a situation is possible. Parallel to their respective specificities, Lully's three Psychés implement a principle of creation through musical rewriting which Lully's successors will make use of for years. In spite of incomplete or conflicting original materials, Lully's contemporaries identify each of the Psychés as such, showing that beyond their disparities a certain number of common points in the writing of Psyché can be found, whatever the 'genre'. Yet the variations brought by the various rewritings, whether by Lully himself or by his contemporaries or successors, make up wholes the evolutions of which can be followed, which means that beyond Lully's Psychés the global corpus of the rewritings makes sense. De facto, as well as a dramatization of music through singing, we can identify the disappearance of drama through the actual dramatization of music. This phenomenon is refracted in the reading of the myth and the tragic subject in general : from symbolic and religious it becomes secular and critical , thus embracing the concept of harmony in court entertainment. Therefore, Lully's Psychés appear as a laboratory of the history of court entertainment

Full textOrnaments were an integral part of harpsichord music in the 17th and 18th centuries. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to study the use of ornaments in solo harpsichord pieces, from the first known printed edition of the music of this school: Chambonnières in 1670 to the first book by François Couperin in 1713. The latter date represents a turning point in history, with the end of the reign of Louis XIV, and also a musical turning point in the writing of harpsichord pieces in France. The corpus studied is made up of twelve composers (Chambonnières, Lebègue, Jacquet de la Guerre, d’Anglebert, Marchand, Dieupart, Clérambault, Dandrieu, Le Roux, Rameau, Siret and Couperin) who succeeded in correcting printed publications of music, including ornaments, unlike what had been possible with manuscripts. This research focuses mainly on the interpretation of musical ornamentation. What was the importance of ornaments in society and in French harpsichord music? What was the reality of how ornaments were heard in harpsichord pieces? Can and should this reality be the same today as it was more than three hundred years ago? How has the sound of the harpsichord repertoire evolved through our understanding of ornaments? The evolution of this crucial element of Baroque harpsichord music will be explored using quantitative, stylistic and aesthetic analysis of ornaments (agréments, written ornaments and diminutions) in original editions, re-editions, and recordings from the phonograph to the compact disc ; accompanied by an examination of writings from the 17th to the 21th centuries about the perception of harpsichord ornamentation, and testimony from musicians working with this instrument today

Full textSince some years, new works for baroque instruments have flourished. Only a few important early music groups have not, at least one time, adressed in contemporary music. The baroque strings, i. E. The family of baroque violins ans the violas da gamba, are specially favored. A 180 works corpus have been compiled, from which general tendencies have been drawed : geographical origins, composers profiles, performers profiles, dedications, titles. After a precice organological definition of the instruments, a works selection allows to explore playing techniques and compositional techniques in use in the pieces. The history and philosophy of the early instruments playing are brought up for put back these works on their context. This is followed by a reflection about the inherent limitations of instruments and the means to go beyond the limits to assure a developpment at the same time in quantitative and qualitative terms to this expanding repertory
Issa, Gonçalves Daniel. "Le méta-opéra baroque (1715-1745) : satire et parodie comme sources d’informations sur la pratique musicale au XVIIIe siècle." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SORUL189.
Full textOpera, or melodramma, is one of the most important cultural phenomena of eighteenth-century Italy. According to Des Brosses (1709-1777) this genre seemed to be even more prized than spoken theater. The importance and popularity of the melodramma in Italian social and cultural life was such that many musical parodies and satires were produced. In the eighteenth-century, these "operas about opera" became so popular, they constituted a separated "micro-genre", which musicologists claim existed between 1715 and 1827. These operas are called, in the musicological literature, metaopera or metamelodramma. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the parodies and satires which deal with the profession of the musicians and singers active in opera, from the point of view of the musicians themselves. This allows us to identify references relating to the practice, habits, and clichés of the profession (musical practices, social situation of musicians, etc.), which do not necessarily appear in usual historical and critical sources. The analysis of these works provide an unique opportunity to explore the world of the musical production of the eighteenth century, which is parodied and criticized by satire in its own language and by its own actors and protagonists. Despite their caricatural nature, these works are a reflection of musicians, librettists, composers, and other actors of the musical scene on their own profession, and illustrates in a comical and lively way, the situation of the musical business in the eighteenth century
Barrera, Juan David. "La musique pour orgue en France à l'âge classique : une représentation du sacré." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017STRAC003/document.
Full textThis study of French organ music during the “Classical period” focuses on its signifying dimension, and particularly on its representative function in the liturgy. Our interest springs from an observation: the most important works devoted to this repertoire neglect the question, whereas the genesis of this organ school coincides with one of the most remarkable historical moments of Catholic spirituality. From this point of view, and assuming that sacred music can be understood as an aesthetic-theological product shaped according to the symbolic and expressive topics of the liturgy (in the same way as other manifestations of sacred art), our research seeks to demonstrate the way in which the music of French organists can communicate the fundamental notions of Christian doctrine through a set of aesthetic categories and musical topics directed by rhetorical principles. In this way, our work is divided into four parts, successively highlighting the cultural and spiritual contexts of the seventeenth century in France, the elements of the signifying universe of these music, the stylistic organization of the repertoire, and finally, from a hermeneutic point of view, the analysis of three major composers of this musical tradition: Nicolas de Grigny, Jean-Adam Guilain and François Couperin

Full textIs French harpsichord music of the 17th and 18th centuries played today as it should be ? What sources can help musicologists and musicians to reproduce the authentic harpsichord sound and playing techniques of that epoch, and understand its repertoire, as faithfully and fully as possible ? The mere fact that this music went unplayed for so long prompts that question. In fact, the harpsichord was forgotten overnight. The favoured instrument of court and fashionable society under the ancien régime, it had aristocratic associations which doomed it when the Revolution came. A century later, in June 1889, the noble, silvery sound of its plucked strings made a first, hesitant comeback, thanks to Louis Diémer. But it was only in the 20th century, between the two world wars, that Wanda Landowska’s tireless enthusiasm gave this baroque keyboard instrument a new lease of life. Interest in building “old-style” harpsichords, using traditional techniques, first developed in the late 1950s, and their popularity has grown steadily ever since. Today’s enthusiasts want to go back to the origins, and revive old ideas and techniques, but they still have a long way to go. At an earlier stage, techniques used in making pianos were extended to harpsichords - and some of these “alien” elements and additions are still present. We felt the time had come to clarify the picture by consulting certain contemporary texts, which had been unduly neglected. We found indeed that these were at odds with twentieth- century improvements, had been mistranslated or misunderstood, or were, quite simply, hard to find.Anyone wishing to form an idea of the original harpsichord sound must start with organology, and the various instruments used by French musicians in the 17th and 18th centuries offer valuable clues. X-ray examination reveals their design and shows how they were regulated (keys, jacks, plectra).Thanks to this approach, we have identified nine essential factors which illuminate the design and construction of these instruments. French manuals of the time had a narrower octave span than those of instruments made in neighbouring countries - or today. Span, of course, determines the distance between thumb and little finger, which itself affects playing. The smaller the gap, the closer the fingers, and the more relaxed the hand. From the beginning, the French sound was also distinguished by its highly flexible harmonies,low-tension strings and low pitch (A3 at 392-406 Hz.). We also found that some harpsichords had three manuals, that some (particularly Alsatian instruments) had 16 foot stops and a lute stop, and that the S-shaped bentside was a French innovation. Musicologists and musicians already know in general terms how manuals evolved from the early 17th to the late 18th century, but no specific research has been done on the process by which they became wider, between 1670, when the first book, Chambonnière’s Pièces de clavecin, was published, and 1741, when Rameau’s Pièces de clavecin en concerts made five octaves the norm.We have also studied strings, their thickness and the materials of which they were made. We have found that string diameter was smaller than it is now, and that bass strings were never made of copper. Only brass with high copper content was thought to give the deeper strings a satisfactory sound. Strings on the upper three-fifths of the manual were made of soft iron, which had little tension. Steel, which is used today, was obviously unknown.Finally, harpsichords, once their temperament is established, are today tuned in pure octaves –which, as a text by Corrette has shown us, was far from being the case in the 18th century

Full textPlaying the viola da gamba became an art during the XVIIth-XVIIIth centuries in France. The first task of this thesis is the development of a summary catalogue of viola da gamba music from these centuries. This catalogue forms an essential tool for a study of the vdg repertory from 1610 to 1773, a period which includes the apogee and the decline of the instrument. Based on the catalogue, the thesis focuses on virtuoso violists and viol consorts. We do not treat here their biography nor the structural and technical analysis of their works, nor that of the sets of viols. The important corpus of works composed during the period represents an aesthetic ideal as well as the set of creative processes aimed at this expression of beauty. The period saw a transition in the use of the viol from consorts to solo music, and to ensembles in which the viol was mixed with other instruments giving an important role to the pardessus. The role of the bow (as a vector of effects) and placement of ornaments or "agréments" will be studied with particular attention, with the help of the many pages that the methods devote to them. The testimonies of literary works (memoirs, essays, debates, narratives of concerts) shed some light on the socio-cultural conditions of the practice of the viola da gamba

Full textBorn in the late sixteenth century, baroque art and literature remains unknown for nearly two hundred years. It is not until the late nineteenth century that it is rediscovered and that the concept of baroque emerges to define it. While French researchers gradually begin to appropriate this object of study during the twentieth century, surrealism rises as a movement and ceaselessly seeks predecessors previously excluded from the history of literature vehiculated in academia. Without defending a transhistorical vision of baroque, this thesis looks at the influence on surrealism of the modern concept of baroque and explores the affinities between baroque and surrealist artists and writers. The study of the reception of baroque allows to first understand what corresponded to the notion of baroque when surrealism was still in its infancy, up until the first half of the thirties. This research goes on to show how the practice of automatism that characterizes the beginnings of surrealism is marked by a purely baroque theatricality, as defined by the first specialists. The baroque and surrealist vision of theater is then analyzed to demonstrate the presence of elements common to baroque and surrealist authors. Finally, the surrealist marvelous is placed in parallel with the baroque meraviglia, through the question of cabinet of curiosities, the surrealist image and the baroque conceit, as well as the process of anamorphosis

Full textOriginating in radio at the beginning of the 1940's, the GRM was officially launched in 1958 by Radio Television Française. The first part of this research reconstructs the history, starting with the most visible manifestations: opuses, publications, technological developments. The research traces also the elaboration of new concepts and evolution of the movement. Beginning with 1948, the official birth date of the Concrete Music, the chronology is divided into seven chapters, one for each decade. The first chapter, however, moves back in time, delineating the roots of Concrete Music by recounting the events that preceded 1948 and eventually led to the dadaism and surrealism of the twentieth century. The second part of the research traces the themes of the GRM history. The first chapter identifies the emergence of this new musical genre and its slow progression from the Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrete of the Paris Studio to its role as a musical School in 1951. The second chapter examines the concepts (reduced listening, sound object, typomorphological analysis. . . ). It traces the pedagogy and the tools (from the first phonogènes to the final software called GRM-Tools and Acousmographe) developed in the last fifty years. The third chapter studies the problems of space, concert presentation and connection with the audience. The fourth chapter explores the boundary between the Musical and the Visual, across the question of writing, a major issue in all the media arts today

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to show that Lucan is an essential reference and he reveals the baroque age. As for the reception, the erudite editions are more and more numerous, the commentaries are plentiful in order to develop the encyclopedic aspects in the pharsalia or to consider the latin poet as an historian and as a defender of the liberties at a time in which it seems that the civil roman wars come back. Moreover, there is a debate about the style caracterized by the enargeia, which had begun with Quintilian. On the other hand, in the creation, the influence of Lucan is very important. With the centon, the ode (j. Dorat), the sonnet (du Bellay), the novel (urbain chevreau), and above all the tragedy (r. Garnier, p. Corneille), the pharsalia is the object of generic alterations which is made possible by the irregularity of the antic epic.

Full textWhile many composers in the 20th century considered the work itself to be the most important factor in making admirable music rather than inspiration, Olivier Messiaen has regarded the inspiration as equally important to the work itself for his composition. We can say that he has bridged the era of classical music toward that of modern music. While pioneering in the creation of his own musical language, he fabulously applied all the traditional elements from the past to his composing. He has always encouraged his students to advance music by enlightening them with new vision. Undoubtedly, everything changes so fast these days especially due to the rapid advancement of technology. This is the same in musical domain, as well. Therefore, one of the major issues for the majority of contemporary composers is the advancement of technology. But, Messiaen used new musical elements adopted from his various inspirations. He has generated his inspirations by keeping his eyes and ears to the nature (the symbol of liberty), the faith (the object we cannot see) and the glory of God (the stature we cannot reach). Thanks to the hands of composer, we are able to feel as if they are in front of us. Exploring the evolution of his technique with piano, we can better understand his musical development from the beginning to the end of his life. The piano is the primary instrument he chose to express his desire to approach the world on the earth and the Heaven at the same time

Full textThe purpose of this study is to call into question the concept of minimalism in popular electronic music. The first part of the dissertation focuses on the concept of minimalism itself by mentioning the genesis of this aesthetic, which appeared in plastic arts in the 1950 in the United States, then its translation in the music field under the aegis of composers such as La Monte Young, Terry Riley and Steve Reich. To justify the use of the concept of minimalism while referring to different musical genres, a clarification is made in several steps: the relation of the musicians to History, their economic positioning, the technical means at their disposal as well as their reflection on their work, their social context, their relation to interpretation and live performance, and their views on problematics like repetition and dance. The second part focuses on techno itself. After tracing the history of the emergence of this musical genre at the beginning of the 1980’s in Detroit, as well as an outline of the electronic instruments which played a part in this emergence and their structural effects on the music, we can study the emersion of the « minimal » branch of techno. Lastly, studying the music of German composer Robert Henke allows us to broaden our subject by including an example of minimalism in popular electronic non-dance music

Full textIn Martinique, a fusion of musical elements from Europe and west Africa has occurred during the past three centuries, giving birth to a new musical language. A large part of this music is performed only in open air, specifically in the countryside. Three of the four of these main musical genres are bele (work music and dance music), lassote and traditional story-telling calypsos. The musical pieces constituting these genres pass on Martinican culture from older generations to newer ones. They also illustrate the combined musical influences of Europe and Africa which can be perceived through specific melodic types, rhythms and musical instruments

Full textWhat we mean here by the analysis of electroacoustic music is a morphological description. It consist in using various criteria to describe the different aural and musical units of the musical material once they have been separated into segments. These criteria can be classified in three groups : internal (spectrum, dynamic, gait, granularity and space), referential (causality, voice, effect and emotion) and structural (formal analysis). Graphical representation has become an essential tool for the analyst and it can take the form of icons - creating strong links between the sound, its analysing criteria and graphic symbolic forms - or symbols - representing sound and its criteria with extremely accurate symbols. Moreover, representation is also an ideal material for multimedia publication : the represented analysis is associated to sounds or even other media to create a very rich didactical document. The theorical plan is completed by analyses of Spirale by Pierre Henry, " Geologie sonore " by Bernard Parmegiani and Stilleben by Kaija Saariaho

Full textThe arab shadow theatre, a very popular art before the xixth century but unknown nowadays, is very rich in all artistic, historical and social aspects. It plays an important role in the arab cultural patrimony. Different thesis explained its origin. The diversity of its forms and designations has been a source of information on the litteral and artistic level. Throughout the different studies undertaken on the arab shadow theatre, the musical element has been left out. However, a comprehensive analysis would not be able to separate musical elements (mode, rythms) from the whole acoustic system (poetry, linguistic and music). On the other hand, the majority of the shadow texts are writen in either prosidic or rimy poetry. Consequently, it becomes crucial to analyse the different poetric forms of which the shadow texts consist, as well as their role and their structure which reveal the narrow relation between words and rythm. Finally, an egyptian shadow play "the light-house of alexandria" is presented in order to illustrate the richness of the shadow theatre in musical and poetric elements. The unpublished french translation and the comprehensive analysis of the poetric forms and different characters permit a better apprehension of the originality of the shadow theatre

Full textThis study of « Heterophony in the 20th century music » is composed by three books. The first book is theoretical: his aim is to give a definition and a typology of heterophony, then to elaborate an exact and valid analytic system in order to make analysis in the parts 2 and 3. A special attention is given to the book Penser la musique aujourd’hui of Pierre Boulez (born in 1925) and to the study “Russian popular polyphonies” from the colloquium of Royaumont in 1991. The second book is focused on the heterephony in Stravinsky’s music (1882-1971): Petrouchka, le Sacre du printemps, Renard and les Noces. The third book studies the heterophony in Coro of Luciano Berio (1925-2003), and in Improvisation III selon Mallarmé of Boulez. At last, the conclusion compares the writing of the three compositors, giving a general survey of heterophony in the 20th century

Full textThis dissertation focuses on Egyptian Coptic Music in their anthropological, socio-political and historical dimensions, added to the fact that the Coptic community is a religious minority in Egypt nowadays. The first part will present the ethnography of a monastery from Upper Egypt, Dayr el-Moḥâreb, and the surrounding villages constituting the parish. It will describe the human context of musical practices. The second part will focuse on the repertoire’s liturgy and paraliturgy, before considering the different actual ways of transmission. The third part will study the evolution of Coptic Music since the 19th century through the influence of the Coptic Revival, and its consequences on the Coptic Music. Does, nowadays, Coptic Music fits in the line of ancient Egyptian civilisation as it is underlined in the discourses of the orientalists and musicologists, and in the identity rhetoric of the Copts? Can we speak about “Coptic Music” in plural including many cultural influences as Ancient Semitic, Greek, Arab and the West, especially during the 20th century?

Full textSince few decades, after the extinction of the religious brotherhood’s manifestations in sax, the Hadra, which is the music of these brotherhoods, is no longer played except in profane context that is family parties. My first intention was then to historically review this music and examine its organization, its activities, and its influence on its auditors in the past and in the present. My second intention was to show the originality of this music by analyzing its musical system and the transcription of its repertoire, its musical text and words in native language. The Hadra, as a musical concert, goes back at the latest to the end of the XIXth century, the period during which the main mystic edifices of major brotherhoods were found. Other than its main function of dancing, the Hadra is known for its magic influence on certain people who, when listening to some of its musical airs, loose control of themeselves and become in a state of France. The behavior of these subjects, during this trance state, is related to possession, but this is not recognized as such by the society. A subject, as said has the "ahwal" - i. E. Has a predisposition to the trance by listening to its predilection air - is not considered as posseded even if he really is, and that he enters this state for therapeutic purposes. The rhythmic system represent the strongest and the most important side of the musical system, in general, which explains the predominance of percussion instruments in the instrumental constitution of the Hadra

Full textIn the Lent sermon he gave in the church of Notre-Dame of Paris on February 21st, 1999, the Rev. Jean-Robert Armogathe reminded his audience that the sound of the organ gives us a most creditable access to the sacred by enabling our senses to experience transcendency both rationally and emotionally : by accompanying our meditations, organ music leads us into te very mystery of the Divine, which, according to the New Testament, ignores the powerful and only unveils itself to its humbler servants. Thus, ever since the early days of Christianity, the organ has been endowed with both a theologal and mystagogic function. The method of allegory, founded by Origen and Tertullian and illustrated first by the French school of spirituality (Olier, Grimaud, Thomassin), then by the Catholics of the Romantic period (Lamennais, d'Ortigue, Chateaubriand), legitimates the presence of the organ in the sanctuary and specifies the role it is to play in the ceremonial scene. Indeed, such an instrument does provide our senses with a representation of the invisible realities of the Christian kerygma, as the multiplicity of its pipes, the wind blown out by its bellows, and its prolonged sounds evoke respectively the communion of the Saints, the breath of the Holy Spirit and the eternity of God. The organ is a sacramental sign, according to Jean-Yves Hameline, has to do with the poetics of faith itself. As a response to the crisis of liturgy created by the latest decisions of the Council, this study proposes to retrace what the Roman Catholic church expects from its musicians, by giving grounds for a new appraisal of the part the organ plays in the "ecology of sound" of celebrations. What criteria -be they either theological, rhetorical or stylistic- should therefore be taken into account to decide whether an instrument or a repertoire is fit to take part in the celebration of the Catholic ritual ? And how has this question influenced the praxis of the French organists since the Council of Trento ?

Full textThe Iraqi maqam is the most important heritage in the domain of Iraqi music. The Iraqi maqam , whether recited as a literary poetic text or a dialect, represent a musical form of songs that has a major influence on Iraqis regardless of their religion, ethnic affiliation or dialect. The Iraqi maqam represent a cultural heritage in the collective memory of the Iraqis. It is sang by a singer called "reciter" accompanied by an orchestral formation called "tchalghi". Such formation constitutes some instruments the most important of which are "al-santur" and "al-joza". The maqam has many remarkable characteristics: it is never associated with a precise poetic literary text or dialect, the reciter is always free to choose the text le likes and it is never recited in the same fashion even by the same reciter. The creative side is always present through the recitation of the maqam

The evocation of the regularity of form and simplicity of folklore and of the traditional themes proceed from a neoclassical and nonromantic tendency. This neoclassicism in Milhaud’s ballet music is the foundation of its artistic value with its flowing unification of the music with the concepts of his contemporary surrealist and cubist painters, with neoclassical dance, with the circus, and even with the art of acrobatic dance

While classifying we will show the horizontal form and the vertical result. This leads us to the second point of our research which is the identification of the character of the musical esthetic in the 16th century

Full textIn buddhist texts aswell as in music we find both pu'an zhou and shitan zhang as titles. There are many variances in court, professionnal and popular ensembles, in qin and pipa repertory. Zhou is a spell and was introduced by buddhism. Shitan is the sanskrit syllabary, which was reconfigured by pu'an, a twelfth century buddhist monk. The use of spell together with the analysis of a language through voyels and consunants were stranger to china and so led to a lack of meaning. Around 1800, chinese musicians tried to reintroduce meaning to this piece through a descriptive program. All musical versions but one are related by the use of characteristic melodicorythmic cells which are varied by operations which make them unidentifiables. Some important concepts of chinese music appear here to be unuseful. The relationship between music and practice is therefore reevaluated through the concept of mutation

Full textThe Sixties appears in rock music history as a kind of a Golden Age. This period is marked by social and political upheavals whose echo is found in popular music. Psychedelic rock is one of the artistic expressions born in the creative boiling from the time. Taking as pretexts the catch of hallucinogenic drugs, rock musicians see this time of creativity as an occasion to enlarge and to diversify their language by integrating new elements. Thus psychedelic rock composes its universe by mixing all the references which pass to its range, literature, comics, oriental music…without establishing hierarchy between them. This work tries to set psychedelic movement in its historical and artistic context, and to establish the principal musical characteristics of the psychedelism while being interested in the various aspects of this music: bands, musical plays influenced by the catch of hallucinogens, texts, shows…in order to understand which elements are found today in the current rock language and in which proportions

Full textMusical connections between east and west trace back to the middle age, particularly to the 8th and 9th centuries, when the musician Abu al-Hasan 'Ali ben Nafi', nicknamed Ziryab, acted as oriental envoy. He was born between 775 and 780, probably of Abyssinian descent. Disciple of the traditional music school founded by Ibrahim and Ishaq al-Mawsili in Baghdad, he was deeply learned and was artistically highly gifted. He had to leave the Abbasside capital, Baghdad, and the court of caliph Harun al-Rachid (786-809) and went to Kairouan. After having sung for Ziyada Allah the aghlabide, he had to leave the Maghreb in 821. Once in Andalusia, he was welcome by emir 'Abd al-Rahman II (822-852) personally. Ziryab happened to be a good judge of passions and needs of Andalusian. He looked at them with an oriental renovating mind, influenced by datas of this new Muslim society; he then conceived diverse creations. He thought up a peculiar lute, to which he added a fifth string and replaced the old plectrum by a new one, carved in an eagle feather. He indicated the development of the nuba and made a few other innovations in the field of fashion and even cooking. Ziryab left in history remarkable traces which influenced Arabic music of this time and which are still to be noticeable nowadays

Full textOur thesis aims at questioning the validity of a number of the presently established models concerning the traditional Korean popular music, namely, "pansori". In fact, "pansori" constitutes a creative synthetic art composed of different genres of the traditional Korean music known in Korea of the 18th century. The first part of our thesis has to do with the appraisal of the respective role of the different branches of the traditional Korean cultural heritage so as to determine and situate the place of "pansori" within the proper context of the Korean history itself. The critical reexamination which we have undertaken allowed us finally to discover lots of anomalies and even errors in the theoretical frameworks supposed to explain the phenomena of the pansori. As such discrepancies seemed to us to be symptomatic of the approach based on the misplaced conceptualization, we felt it necessary to review those discoveries of ours and integrate them in the entirely new paradigms, and this, to open new perspectives in the ethnomusicological studies with regard to "pansori"

Full textThis work examines the use of civil wars in English and French novels between 1580 and 1668 that is to say during the Baroque period. At this time, France and England were going through a revolutionary political, religious but also social crisis. Our framework is based on genre studies, contemporary theories of fiction and historicity. We aimed at shedding a new light on novel's poetics and analysing the articulation of fact and fiction through the study of a corpus of thirty little-known novels. The comparison between the French novels and the English ones implies to identify what defines the genre of early modern novel and its boundaries for both countries, and determine the genealogy of the narrative models used by the authors. We then establish the poetics of war through the analyses of the narrative functions of war sequences, the way characters are build up and the stylistics of violence (staged or faded). Finally, we suggest an interpretation of the novels. From the remembrance of wars of religion to the record of the English Revolution, Baroque novels constitute a specific form of historical fiction, characterized by the displacement of collective stakes and the metaphorisation of the religious division to the level of the couple or the family but also the recycling of the allegorical writing style. The Baroque novel is dedicated to love as opposed to the epic genre, it offers various and complex representations of civil war, this internai conflict questioning one's identity, faith and sense of belonging, three key concepts of the early modern novel

Full textThe overall objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of knowledge on cultural and musical life in the 1920s. Based on the work of Roméo Beaudry, a repertoire of songs typically associated with the culture of the United States can serve as a milestone in the history of the French-Canadian popular song. In this regard, the first two chapters describe the locations of song production and reception with a focus on the role of music distribution. Habit changes at the beginning of the twentieth century would have a significant impact on the development of relations between auditors, works, reception venues and media. Chapter 1 describes how these relations have shaken geographical, language and generic boundaries while increasing musical diversity and offering a wider music circulation. Chapter 2 suggests that dynamic and complex factors such as leisure time and listening habits may have altered the reception of popular songs. The plurality of locations and medias also contributed to the formation of a heterogeneous public. Noting the abundance of popular music in the United States and the numerous songs translated into French, the second part of the thesis shows that this imposing repertoire can mean something other than Americanization, something other than a form of assimilation. In Chapter 3, translation, literature and musicology studies provide analysis models that allow the identification of the transformation process leading to a song’s translation. The adaptation of Gérard Genette’s transtextuality shows that the transposition of a text and the transcription of a melody may maintain or radically change the meaning of a song. In Chapter 4, the model is applied on three specific songs. At the outcome, Beaudry is defined as an important player in the world of French-Canadian popular songs and it is shown how translation and imitation can lead to a creative appropriation of a work reflecting both local and continental cultures.

Full textIn the field of music, the concept of space cannot be dissociated from the concepts of time, of listening and from the perception of forms. This thesis analyses various possible ways of interpreting the notion of "the space of sounds", seen as a modality of configuring and, thus, of setting up musical materials. The first part called "Questions of terminology" is devoted to the clarification of the concepts that are used for the dimension of sound and space (sound, space,analogy between what is heard and what is seen, spatial metaphors, listening, memory, forms). The second part is devoted to the emergence of the concept of space and to the analysis of the criteria of area and mass, of accumulation and rarefying by presenting several musical extracts (on two CDs as an annexe). The analysis of six pieces (Atmosphères/Ligeti, Zeitströme/Zender, Pranam II/Scelsi, Vortex Temporum I/Grisey, Rigirio/Gervasoni, Distentio/W. Zimmermann) applies the criteria of organisation to large sections

Full textThe intermingling of the baroque with cuban literature constitutes the backbone of a productive creative thought, although the very idea of an aesthetic filiation or intellectual community can hardly be justified in the ideological tensions that cuba is experiencing in this second half of the century. Now, alejo carpentier, jose lezama lima and severo sarduy have concentrated their reflection on the baroque while rating high the novel as a means of expression. We set out to bring into light the neo-baroque through the writings of lezama lima and sarduy and of other novelists as well, actors in the same experience, exile. Even though this kind of novel writing is not alien to its historic model, it is nevertheless deeply embedded in modernity. The debate also lies beyond the mere description of the text. In the same way as the baroque meant, to carpentier, an endogenous search for identity, the neo-baroque is linked today to a quest for recognition. Revealing a breach, baroque and neo-baroque testify to the irreconcilable choice of cuba writers
Cristiá, Cintia. "Xul Solar et la musique." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040197.
Full textThe study of music in the life and work (Argentine, 1887-1963) reveals new aspects of a very particular personality. Painter, writer and linguist, but also astrologist and inventor, Xul Solar studied many subjects. The sound is integrated into a complex tissue of knowledge that finds visual form in his watercolours, drawings and oil paintings, in his puppet theatre, in his variation of chess. The invented musical notation systems, as well as the keyboards modified to allow their application, are the result of deep thought on the interralation between the arts. His linguistic and esoteric works also show the inluence of music. In order to clarify the implications of this subject, this dissertation approaches it in three stages: firstly, the biography of the artist is presented in three chapters, emphazing the role that music played in hid life (family heritage, studies, musical relations, influence of the milieu, musical affinities, collections, etc. ). Secondly, his investigation on music relatd aspects, such as notation, organology and the application of the interrelation of the arts, are organised in the three following chapters. Finally, the presence of music in his pictorial work is studied in the third part, by means of the analysis, sometimes accompanied by more or less audacious interpretations, of some thirty music related paintings. Xul Solar's figure and work are at every stage placed in the historical and aesthetic context in order to comprehend their real value

Full textThe aim of this work is to investigate the main aspects of Brazilian choro and the compositional approach of American pianist and composer Thelonious Monk to create original pieces inspired by the hybridization of these two musical approaches. Choro is a musical genre that has greatly influenced Brazilian music since its appearance in the nineteenth century. In addition, the enigmatic music of Thelonious contributed to the creation and development of Bebop jazz. Both approaches have undergone the process of musical hybridization as a key element in their consolidation and creation over time. For my project, Monk's compositional approach inspired me as a source of experimentation to restructure the choro. In the same way, the different aspects of choro encourage me to use them as tools allowing the modification of Monk's style. Their ways of structuring melody, harmony and rhythm are at the base of my compositions. I explore more precisely the challenge of interacting these two approaches by developing a vocabulary able to balance their elements, and this through my own compositions. By observing and analyzing these elements and structures, I add some interpretative considerations in order to collaborate also on performance. This project also traces the historical aspects of Choro and Monk with the idea of making better understand their origins and their training processes. Each composition presents a combination of quite varied structural elements that aim at balanced interaction and integration, stimulated by my own artistic individuality. This project aims to help the musicians in their musical interpretation by encouraging the creation.
Arlettaz, Vincent. "Études sur l'application du langage tonal." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040134.
Full textTwo as yet little known aspects of the development of tonality are the object of this study, respectively: 1. The appearance of leading tones, which affected the evolution of ecclesiastical modes toward major and minor modes. Such alterations are often the result of the interpretation of the performer (musicafictd), which renders it particularly difficult to follow the evolution of this aspect due to the loss of early traditions of performance practices. 2. The gradual appearance of characteristic dissonances from the beginning of the 17th century (seventh over the dominant, sixth added over the subdominant), and later dominant ninths, diminished and semi-diminished sevenths, as well as augmented sixths and other seventh chord forms. For the first of these two points, a study of concurrent vocal sources, theoretical treatises and instrumental tablatures shows that the practice of leading-tones, evident toward the end of the 13th century and gradually in general use during the 14th century, will be contested, even avoided by Nordic styles (Flemish, German) between the end of the 15th century and the middle of the 16th century (German tablatures of Gerle, Buchner, Clemens Hor, Flemish theoretical treatises of Ghiselin Danckerts, Adrien Petit Coclico, vocal music of Ockeghem, Josquin, Isaac, Gombert, etc. ). For the new dissonances, the irregularity of evolution is equally striking. Certain ones attain their maturity very rapidly (notably the dominant seventh, from 1620-40 in the roman school), but will only pass to other schools much later. Other dissonances, after a spectacular, precocious appearance (for example, the augmented sixths of L'Estocart, 1582, and the dominant ninths of cesti, 1668), will suffer a long period of dormancy, and become common practice only toward the end of the 18th century

Full textThis research proposes to analyze how musicians from Arab music institutions recomposethemselves outside of the institutional framework in countries such as France and the United States. After analyzing in a first part the problem of culture and homogenization, this research addresses in a second part a technical, economic and social history of Arabic music, through which are analyzed the issues of the definition of musical systems and instrumental rationalization. The rationalization of scale systems and the question of just intonation are not sounding everywhere in the same direction. The socio-historical developments of Arab music and its renewal shows on the contrary how scales formats based on "quarter tones" helped to structure some musical practices. The recomposition of Arabic music ensembles outside of their institutional frameworks such as in France and in the United States, shows how through their new territorial roots, these musical forms do not actually reactualize disembodied or generic forms of the "Arab music" but are rather the result of a recontextualization process that musicians redefine themselves from heterogeneous institutional know-how. Thus, the analysis of Arab music conceived in new territories allows us to understand, from empirical studies, how institutional knowledges and know-how are renewed and implemented, without abandoning the scales formats that were and remain at the foundation of these musical practices

Full textThe musical route of Qigang Chen (1951-), a French composer of Chinese origin who arrived in France in 1984, give us an example of the way the Asian composers crossed the passage between " modern " and " postmodern ". Through the study of the works of Qigang Chen and important pieces by Chinese and Japanese composers such as Tan Dun and Tôru Takemitsu, we will scrutinize how these Asian composers link their own cultural " traditions " with Western " modernity ". We will then tempt to answer this central question: " Does the music always entrust the creator the historic mission of developing the language and of discovering new sonorities, or does it ask them to transmit a message to mankind, in order to encourage them, to caress them, to bring them towards a better spiritual state, or even to lead them to happiness? ". Finally, we will try to find out a route of conciliation in this debate

Full textSince the middle of the 16th century, France has sheltered judeo-portuguese communities whose liturgical music is still nowadays badly known. After having presented the musical practice of these ancient congregations of "marranos", this study attempts to make an inventory of the musical sources - oral and written pieces - of the judeo-portuguese communities of Bordeaux, Bayonne and Paris. Then, a musicological analysis will permit to understand the musical systemic of these oral traditions. By the way of paradigmatic transcription, the author tries to reveal the musical structure of the different prayers. He sets out the syntactic rules of the Jewish New Year feast (Rosh Ha-Shanah). Finally, a synchronic and diachronic study of different versions of a same prayer will allow considering the relation between oral and written tradition and the degree of continuity or change of this liturgical music during about two centuries
