Abstract:

I returned to my hometown and recorded Mongolian folk music—Mongolian Long Song and Mongolian Throat Singing. I wanted to combine technology and traditional folk music and write an electronic piece based on Mongolian vocal materials. I used what I’ve sampled, manipulated the sounds, composed the music, gathered the videos together and created this multimedia piece—On Horseback. The names of the four movements—Sand, Cloud, Water, and Fire—are four elements that I chose to represent the lifestyle in Inner Mongolia.

This thesis covers the journey of how I created this piece. I’ve explored many variations of technology such as sound sampling, mixing, and video editing. I’ve also gained the chance to bring traditional Mongolian folk vocal music out of my hometown and present it in my own work.

Abstract:

This study examines Nicaraguan music before and after the 1972 Managuan earthquake for evidence of changes in Nicaraguan national identity. Central issues are indigenous groups, colonialism, Catholicism, and communism in Nicaragua. A total of four musical examples are analyzed, three songs dating before the earthquake and one from after. These songs provide evidence for changes in Nicaraguan national identity. The study concludes that the earthquake brought about an increase in public exposure to indigenous Nicaraguan music. Indigenous Nicaraguan musical styles have been incorporated into modern Nicaraguan popular music, which in turn has influenced Nicaraguan national identity as a whole.

Abstract:
This document represents the investigative research on the solo piano music of Joaquin Rodrigo, a repertoire that dates from 1923 to 1987. A biographical sketch of the composer precedes a general overview of his twenty-three solo piano works. Discussion of musical trends that influenced Rodrigo provides a context for tracing his development as a composer. Analytic descriptions of two of Rodrigo's early piano works, Suite para piano of 1923 and the Preludio al gallo mananero of 1926, demonstrate how Rodrigo incorporated early 20th century compositional techniques into his own style. Although Rodrigo alludes to Spanish nationalistic ideas in his music prior to 1931, his predominate musical language is more congruent with European compositional trends, popular during this period. It is in the Serenata espanola of 1931 where the use of Spanish folklore becomes more pronounced in Rodrigo's musical language. Descriptive analyses of the Serenata espanola of 1931 and his Sonatas de Castilla, con toccata of 1950 demonstrate not only Rodrigo's mature language and fully developed pianistic style, but most importantly his use of folklorismo--incorporation of folklore, music, and culture. Although similar in certain aspects to the Spanish traditional style of Albeniz, Granados, Falla, and Turina, Rodrigo's approach is also distinctive. In order to appreciate the similarities and contrasts between the traditional uses of folklorismo and Rodrigo's use of folklorismo, a brief historical overview of 20th century Spanish Nationalism ensues. Rodrigo's contributions derive from a successful synthesis of Nationalism and unique pianistic style.

Brooks, Malcolm Philip. "Autoethnography of a Composer with a New Composing Method." Thesis, Prescott College, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3567918.

Full text
Abstract:

This auto ethnography examines how a timid young boy grew up to become a confident music composer and how he developed a method of auto ethnographic songwriting. Through a process of systematic narrative inquiry and hermeneutic analysis, the study uncovers personal insights in self-awareness and in compositional technique. The study examines how the author reacted to personal and professional failures, regained emotional equilibrium through creative expression, and developed a method of transforming spoken text into complete songs. The study also considers how educational practices and cultural expectations in the late twentieth century American affected the composer's musical upbringing and sense of belonging. Additionally, the study recounts how the composer trained his own mind and body to perceive tempo and syncopation in order to compensate for a lack of an innate sense of rhythm. The study illuminates the transforming effect that acts of creativity had on this individual's belief system and how they helped him sustain his enthusiasm for life.

Rodriguez-Rios, Lizary. "Twentieth-century Spanish composers for the harp: A study of Spanish folk elements in selected solo harp works of Jesus Guridi, Gerardo Gombau and Victorino Echevarria." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/284326.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this document is to examine the Spanish folk elements used in original compositions for the harp written by the Spanish composers Jesus Guridi, Gerardo Gombau and Victorino Echevarria. The document demonstrates that the harp is particularly suitable to convey the essence of the rhythmic, harmonic and melodic elements of traditional Spanish folk music. Spanish composers, particularly Jesus Guridi (Viejo Zortzico) Gerardo Gombau (Apunte Betico) and Victorino Echevarria (Capricho Andaluz), adapted elements of Spanish folk music such as cante jondo to create original nationalistic music that is idiomatic for the harp, resulting in effective concert pieces for the instrument's repertoire. The first chapter is devoted to the arrival and development of the harp in Spain. The second chapter discusses a history of the harp department at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Musica of Madrid which was established in 1830. This chapter also includes biographical and historical information about harp professors that taught there and the role that this conservatory played in developing distinctive Spanish compositions for the modern harp. Chapter three will discuss the harpists who inspired twenty-century Spanish composers. The subsequent three chapters will cover Jesus Guridi's, Gerardo Gombaus and Victorino Echevarria's lives, influences, and an analysis of their harp compositions: Viejo Zortzico , Apunte Betico and Capricho Andaluz respectively, highlight the Spanish folk elements used, and how composers incorporated these elements into their compositions to create a distinctive sound and fascinating show pieces for the concert harpist.

Abstract:

Cajun and Creole traditional music evolves, as does any living tradition. Taking this music into consideration from the perspective of « oral poetry, » a concept defined by Ruth Finnegan and Paul Zumthor, this thesis studies the aspect of singing in Cajun and Creole traditional music through transformations affected by recording technology (Zumthor’s notion of « mediatized orality ») with respect to the actual sociolinguistic context in Louisiana. First, we study the transformations occuring in songs from the traditional repertoire, through various audio renderings of the same songs. Second, we look at the way new songs, created in the traditional frame, address the lyrical content through old and contemporary themes, including the use of French language and bilingualism. This discussion is informed by interviews conducted with targeted musicians concerning their linguistic perceptions and respective artistic approaches. Thus, we eventually discover how, in addition to being a dance genre, Cajun and Creole music plays an essential role in the continued existence of French language in Louisiana.

Phillips, Olivia H. "Marine Melodies: Traditional Scottish and Irish Mermaid and Selkie Songs as Performed by Top Female Vocalists in Contemporary Celtic Music." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2021. https://dc.etsu.edu/honors/622.

Full text
Abstract:
Mermaids and human-seal hybrids, called selkies, are a vibrant part of Celtic folklore, including ballad and song traditions. Though some of these songs have been studied in-depth, there is a lack of research comparing them to each other or to their contemporary renditions. This research compares traditional melodies and texts of the songs “The Mermaid,” “The Grey Selchie of Sule Skerry,” and “Hó i Hó i” to contemporary recordings by top female vocalists in Scottish and Irish music. The texts and melodies I have identified as “source” material are those most thoroughly examined by early ballad and folklore scholars. The source material for “The Grey Selchie of Sule Skerry” is a 1938 transcription by Otto Andersson. The source of notation and text for “The Mermaid” is the ballad’s A version from the Greig-Duncan Collection. The melody of “Hó i Hó i,” collected by folklorist David Thomson and published in 1954, serves as the third source version. Modern recordings included in the study are “The Mermaid” by Kate Rusby, “The Grey Selchie” by Karan Casey with Irish-American band Solas, and “Òran an Ròin,” a variant of “Hó i Hó i,” by Julie Fowlis. This study compares the forms, melodic contours, and texts of these variants, examining ways that contemporary recordings have maintained the integrity of traditional songs and ballads from which they are derived while adapting them to draw in a contemporary audience. The thesis illustrates the continued and evolving presence of mermaids and selkies in Scottish and Irish song.

Ridington, Amber. "At the Crossroads Commercial Music and Community Experience The Quonset Auditorium - A Roadhouse on the Dixie Highway." TopSCHOLAR®, 2002. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/632.

Full text
Abstract:
This study of the Quonset Auditorium, one roadhouse among many on the regular tour route of R&B, gospel and country musicians in the post-World War II era (1947- 1959), illustrates the important role of roadhouses during a time of growth and change in popular music. It situates memories and experiences from the Quonset Auditorium in relation to regional and national movements of the day such as highway development, commercial and popular music, and the civil rights movement. With hindsight, we can see that the Quonset Auditorium stood at a crossroads as regards these social and technological movements of the post-WW II era and the metaphor of crossroads has been applied throughout this study. Roadhouses have received little detailed attention in literature about commercial music, and this study has meant to provide details from the Quonset Auditorium in order to flesh out the generalizations often made about roadhouses, and touring. This study has drawn primarily on oral accounts collected from a variety of individuals: musicians who performed there, past audience members and people with second hand memories of the Quonset. It also utilizes historical documents relating to the Quonset Auditorium in university yearbooks, newspapers and ledgers from show poster companies.

Full text
Abstract:

This dissertation looks at the popular American folksong revival in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region during the Cold War and Civil Rights era. Examination of folk revival scholarship, local media reports and cultural geography, and the collected interviews and oral histories of Washington area participants, reveals the folk and blues revival was a mass mediated phenomenon with contentious factions. The D.C. revival shows how restorative cultural projects and issues of authenticity are central to modernity, and how the function of folksong transformed from the populist, labor oriented Old Left to the personalized politics of the New Left. This study also significantly disrupts often romantic scholarship and political narratives about the folk revival and redirects the intellectual attention on New York, Chicago, and San Francisco towards the nation's capital as an overlooked site of cultural production. Washington's "folk world" of music clubs, coffeehouses, record collectors, disc jockeys, performers, folklorists, and folk music aficionados drove folk music studies towards context and cultural democracy, but the local insistence on apolitical, traditional, and rural forms of folksong as the most genuine reinscribed racial and class hierarchies even as they enhanced Washington's status. Washington, D.C., shifted the loose folk revival "movement" into permanent cultural institutions and organizations, and the city gained a cosmopolitan reputation for authentic folk music that intermingled with its regional culture and identity as the nation's capital and site of public protest.

Full text
Abstract:
There is an overwhelming tendency for scholars of Polish music to politicise the presence of folk music references when they appear in art music compositions. This has particularly been the case in studies of Frédéric Chopin, where certain myths pertaining to that composer’s extramusical intentions long dominated how his music was unpacked in musicological discourse. In this thesis, I demonstrate that our understanding of later Polish composers suffers similarly from this tendency. In an examination of the discourse surrounding both Karol Szymanowski and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, I show that a myopic understanding of the compositional possibilities bound up in folk music engagement has limited the scope of our interrogations into their compositional practices. I then reposition folk music as an aesthetic tool in their works that has enabled these artists to negotiate the compositional challenges confronting their respective generations. In addition to improving our understanding of these two composers’ methods, my analyses highlight how folk music models can lend a sense of familiarity and cohesion to the modern musical aesthetic. I then take these findings and define a framework for categorising the aesthetic function of folklore in modern Polish music. Turning to my own compositional practice, I analyse a portfolio of original works that have been influenced by my concurrent study of Polish composers and Polish folk music. With this I demonstrate how these categories of aesthetic function have enabled me to engage with a wide range of traditional sources, including Polish folk music, folk music from other cultures, and other non-musical artefacts of Polish culture. I further show that, within this breadth of historical sources, there exists a significant amount of aesthetic potential waiting to be unpacked by any modern composer who shares my goal to create music that is cohesive, conveys a clear musical narrative, and possesses a strong individual identity.

Arthur, Peter. "The textuality of contemporary hiplife lyrics." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2014. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/4889/.

Full text
Abstract:
This research looks at the textuality of hiplife – the Ghanaian version of hip hop – by investigating the hiplife discursive and non discursive practices. The thesis is that hiplife is a major platform for Ghanaian youth cultural expression. I choose the qualitative methodology because it meets the subtle demand of an enquiry on expressive culture like hiplife. Using focus group discussion, interviews and participant observation to collect data from the whole country with emphasis on the four main cities, the research analyses transcribed data and comes up with various findings. These include the fact that hiplife started with the quest of Ghanaian youth for a syncretic culture, the combination of local and foreign cultures, mediated by DJs, artistes and sites. It also reveals that it is the rhythm of the Akan drum language that provides the rhythmic complexion of hiplife. Again, as a platform for youth expression, hiplife expresses new values – new social truths, a common destiny and protest against hegemony. Furthermore, hiplife appropriates the “looking glass” concept to circulate its cultural expression and ideologies in and out of Ghana. Such a visibility is also taken advantage of by the Ghanaian women to address their gender concerns.

Ruff, Joseph. "Country Music in the Northeast: Two Careers." TopSCHOLAR®, 1993. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2792.

Full text
Abstract:
Although country music and its antecedents have received attention primarily as cultural phenomena of the South, the past twenty years have witnessed a growing scholarly interest in the interplay between commercial country music, vernacular components. and performers within a regional context. The commercial product which has now attained worldwide appeal undoubtedly sustains a significant relationship to the folkways and regional identity of the South; nonetheless, performers and vernacular styles from other areas of the country have contributed to the development of country music. Most important. many areas outside of the South maintain local traditions of country music entertainment. In this thesis, I argue for a broader conception of country music and its sources by examining the careers of Gene Hooper and Dick Curless within the context of country music in Maine. The evidence presented suggests that country music, in its local context, retains a significant link to regional image and identity, as well as maintaining a connection to traditional music style and function. The acceptance of the "new social history" rests upon the belief that knowledge of everyday people and culture contributes to our understanding of historical processes and periods. The methods of folkloristics complement this perspective and also provide an approach with which to study performance in small group contexts. Much of my information derives from observation of country music culture in Maine and interviews with relevant persons. I have also utilized archival material and scholarship concerning the history of country music and vernacular music in the Northeast. Within the thesis. I examine theoretical considerations of region and group identity. Because the scholarly and popular conceptions of country music identify it primarily as a cultural phenomenon of the American South, my examination begins with a summary of historical perspectives on country music and the development of the Southern image connected with it. This discussion is followed by a brief survey of theoretical attitudes toward country music and regional identity within the discipline of folklore. Turning toward country music in the Northeast, I outline the roots of vernacular music there and describe the evolution of a regional country music boom. A detailed description of the careers of Gene Hooper and Dick Curless follows, with particular emphasis on the differing professional contexts of their music. Finally, I return to academic models of country music and region, elaborating on distinctions between the commercial context of the Nashville music industry and the vernacular music of the Northeast.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines current practices of music and prayers in the context of Jam ritual among the Ahl-e Haqq, a vernacular religion group in Iranian Kurdistan. I examine the construction and sacralization of the sacred instrument of the Ahl-e Haqq, tanbūr. I also explore the sacred prayer, kalām, and the association of prayer and music. Through the ethnographic method, participant observations, and interviewing religious figures and master musicians during the fieldwork in Sahneh, Iran, I investigate the relation of the Ahl-e Haqq prayers and music, and their effect on healing during their sacred ritual performance. Drawing primarily on scholarship from David Hufford and Bonnie Blair O’Connor, I theorize to show the distinction between healing and cure. Also using Leonard Primiano’s concept of vernacular religion, my aim is to show how the Ahl-e Haqq define their vernacular health belief system. This thesis examines the effect of music and prayers on healing in particular contexts and how it influences the daily wellbeing.

The Psychotherapeutic Effects of American Indian Traditions Such As Singing, Drumming, Dancing and Storytelling is a thesis comparing the Western Psychotherapeutic view of these activities with the American Indian Literature concerning those artistic actions as well as the American Indian oral tradition and healing ceremonies of the Tlingit, Iroquois, and Sioux and some other Tribes of North American. At different times, some more historic, the two cultural views appear to have many similar psychotherapeutic analyses attesting to the healing qualities of singing, drumming, dancing, and storytelling.

Abstract:
In the centuries since the colonization of the New World, the people of Cuba created a strong musical tradition. Initially, their music mirrored the European composition canons of structural, melodic and harmonic order. The eventual confluence of its distinct cultural elements (i.e. the European, African, and, to a lesser extent, Amerindian) led to the emergence of a new, distinctly Cuban musical tradition. The wars for independence that began in the United States and Europe in the eighteenth century created a surge towards political and cultural autonomy that swept across the Latin American colonies, generating a wave of nationalism during the nineteenth century. After finally gaining its independence in 1902, Cuba sought to define itself as a nation. Cubans looked inward to their regional folklore—their indigenous and popular traditions—for the source of their national identity, a trend that became of primary interest to Cuban artists. The nationalist trend found full musical expression during the twentieth century, when composers turned to folklore for their inspiration in creating new art music (works for the concert hall) with a unique sound and vitality. This study concerns itself with the Cuban nationalist movement and its role in the creation of art music by twentieth-century Cuban composers, most specifically that of Mario Abril. The monograph is organized into three general sections: the first section (Chapters 2 and 3) identifies the significant characteristics of nationalism, describes the manifestation of some relevant nationalist movements (e.g., in Europe and Latin America), and explores the manifestation of the nationalist movement in Cuba. The second section (Chapters 4 and 5) provides a history of Cuban art music, concluding with a biographical sketch of composer Mario Abril. The third part (Chapters 6 and 7)consists of a study of the music, beginning with a description of the pertinent characteristics of Cuban popular music, followed by an examination Mario Abril’s Fantasía (Introduction and Pachanga) for clarinet and piano. The document concludes with remarks about the characteristics that qualify the work as an example of Cuban nationalist art music with suggestions for the study and interpretation of the work.

Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between composed songs in isiXhosa and the field of oral literature. In traditional Xhosa cultural settings, poetry and music are forms of communal activity enjoyed by that society. Music and poetry perform a special social role in African society in general, providing a critique of socio-economic and political issues. The research analyses the relationship that exists between traditional poetry, izibongo, and composed songs. It demonstrates that in the same way that izibongo can be analysed in order to appreciate the aesthetic value of an oral literary form, the same can be said of composed isiXhosa music. The art of transmitting oral literature is performance. The traditional izibongo are recited before audiences in the same way. Songs (iingoma) stories (amabali) and traditional poetry (izibongo) all comprise oral literature that is transmitted by word of mouth. Opland (1992: 17) says about this type of literature: “Living as it does in the performance is usually appreciated by crowds of people as sounds uttered by the performer who is present before his/her audience.” Opland (ibid 125) again gives an account of who is both reciter of poems and singer of songs. He gives Mthamo’s testimony thus: “He is a singer… with a reputation of being a poet as well.” The musical texts that will be analysed in this thesis will range from those produced as early as 1917, when Benjamin Tyamzashe wrote his first song, Isithandwa sam (My beloved), up to those produced in 1990 when Makhaya Mjana was commissioned by Lovedale on its 150th anniversary to write Qingqa Lovedale (Stand up Lovedale). The song texts total fifty, by twenty-one composers. The texts will be analysed according to different themes, ranging from themes that are metaphoric, themes about events, themes that depict the culture of the amaXhosa, themes with a message of protest, themes demonstrating the relationship between religion and nature, themes that call for unity among the amaXhosa, and themes that depict the personal circumstances of composers and lullabies. The number of texts from each category will vary depending on the composers’ socio-cultural background when they composed the songs. Comparison will be made with some izibongo to show that composers and writers of izibongo are similar artists and, in the words of Mtuze in Izibongo Zomthonyama (1993) “bathwase ngethongo elinye” (They are spiritually gifted in the same way).

Abstract:
The main aim of this thesis is to examine the characteristics of Kemalist views and works on Turkish folk music during Early Republican Period. Kemalism, as a modernization project, aimed to transform the Turkish social formation totally. In this respect, one of the indispensable dimension of this project was cultural reforms. The music policies, as a part of the cultural reforms, were given considerable attentions by the Kemalist cadres since the music, according to them, was one of the area to reflect the developmental level of a society. Their views and efforts on Turkish folk music were a significant part of these music policies. In this sense, Kemalist folklore acts are of crucial importance to understand the features of Kemalist ideologic paradigms. Besides, this thesis will deal with the Kemalist folklore acts in order to understand two main principles of Kemalism
nationalism and populism which were the important ideological paradigms of Kemalism. In other words, one of the main ab inito of this thesis is to comprehend the nationalism and populism principles which constituted the general framework of Kemalist folklore acts. The thesis also pays attention to the inconsistencies and unmethodological works in folk music acts during the Early Republican Period.

Full text
Abstract:
The public school learning environment is based on the learning styles of white middle class children. When African-American students enter this environment, they become frustrated because aspects of their culture, which affect how they learn, are excluded. This frustration may be responsible for the high drop-out rates among black students. The research suggests that incorporating African-American cultural attitudes, values, and behaviors in curriculum will help these students achieve. Because folklore and music are important parts of the African-American culture, an arts-based education program using these art forms would aid in teaching African-American students. In addition, involvement of all students in African-American folklore and music furthers the goals of multiethnic education. For this study, a musical was developed for elementary education. It incorporated an African-American folktale, "The People Could Fly", and elements of African-American music. A curriculum guide was developed containing information for the teacher on African-American culture and how it affects learning. A narrative was included for the teacher to read to the students about African-American life and culture, in particular, folklore and music. The guide contains activities for the students and additional resources for the teacher in the areas of African-American music, folklore and multicultural education. The guide was reviewed by twenty-two people from educational fields, revised and subsequently reviewed by four of the same reviewers and two new ones. The musical was performed for elementary school students, videotaped, and critiqued by the teacher involved. All comments were positive about the scope and the need for this kind of project. The researcher recommends that further study be done regarding learning styles of ethnic groups, that more musicals following the premise of this dissertation be created, and that evaluation of their effectiveness be initiated with specific African-American and general populations.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the function of music within different theories of nationalism and the appropriation of folk music within the genre of min’ge. Min’ge, a term in Chinese which directly translates to “folk songs”, has generally been defined as oral musical traditions. However, due to the increased politicization of popular music since the 1930s, the nature folk music has fundamentally changed, reflecting its new significance within Chinese nationalism. Through the years, min’ge has become more useful to promoting the goals of the state than representing the musical traditions of the many different ethnic groups in China. This transformation has established min’ge as an important extension of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) cultural policy, and the manipulation of folk music has asserted the CCP’s cultural hegemony. Ultimately, this cultural hegemony has important implications on Han-minority relations and highlights certain dynamics within Chinese nationalism. Despite its limited and distorted representation of minorities, however, the popularization of min’ge has also inspired minority musicians to reclaim their identities through music. Therefore, this paper explores both the cooptation and contestation of state-promoted identities through the medium of popular folk music.

Full text
Abstract:
David Harrison Macon (1870-1952) is often memorialized for his showmanship rather than his banjo playing. To compartmentalize such a significant American musician yields a wide gap within scholarship about Macon, country music history and the banjo. Macon’s banjo playing, documented through over two-hundred and fifty recordings made between the 1920s and 1950s, represents an array of cultures, eras, ethnicities, and styles all preserved in the repertoire of one of the most prolific country musicians of the 20th century. This study reveals Macon’s playing by considering such factors as influences that preceded his professional tenure, identifying elements within his playing from specific stylistic origins, and by technically notating selections from Macon’s canon that represent those influences. To understand the instrumental playing of one of early country music’s most important figures broadens understanding of banjo influences from the nineteenth century which laid the foundation for the instrument’s renaissance in the twentieth century.

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous tâchons de démontrer que l’histoire de la musique à Alger entre les années 1860 et l’indépendance ne peut se passer d’une approche en termes de rencontre et de transferts entre les expressions musicales européennes et indigènes. Spectacle vivant et lieu de rencontre, la pratique musicale a été saisie très tôt au cours du XXe siècle comme un moyen de travailler au rapprochement des communautés ; un des principes auquel ont œuvré de nombreux acteurs de la société civile, appuyés de manière croissante par les autorités publiques. Le frottement soutenu entre les différents genres musicaux a contribué à en former et à en consolider les contours, de sorte que la musique dite aujourd’hui « çan‘a » ou « andalouse » d’Alger est le produit d’un dialogue entre Européens et indigènes. Ainsi, entre 1862 et 1962, il est possible de parler de chemin « franco-musulman » parcouru par les musiques d’Algérie ; chemin qui contribue à modeler leur forme et qui révèle que la portée historique de l’indépendance dans le champ musical est aussi limitée que sa force mémorielle est démesurée, quand on considère les discours nationalistes dont les musiques d’Algérie sont aujourd’hui investies. Cependant, le cas musical algérois est peut-être plus significatif dans le champ d’une histoire culturelle de la France : il révèle – contre toute attente ? – qu’en France, le multiculturalisme n’est pas une fonction de l’impérialisme. Considérer un instant qu’Alger n’est pas foncièrement « coloniale » entre 1862 et 1962, reconnaître qu’elle a un temps partagé le destin de l’hexagone et constater qu’elle est un lieu d’application d’une politique culturelle de la diversité interroge le jacobinisme français, dont on répète pourtant à l’envie, qu’il est congénital
In this dissertation, we seek to demonstrate that the history of music in Algiers from the 1860s to independence must be apprehended in terms of meeting and transfers between European and indigenous musical expressions. Characterized by live performance and being a point of contact, musical practice has been understood, as early as the beginning of the 20th century, as a means to create and tighten ties between communities; a purpose to which many actors of civil society have worked, increasingly supported by public authorities. Rubbed together, the different musical genres were modelled and consolidated, so that the Algiers’s so-called “Andalusian” musical tradition was, in fact, shaped by the dialogue between Europeans and indigenes. Thus, from 1862 to 1962, one can speak of Algerian music’s “franco-muslim” path; a path which reveals that the historical significance of Algerian independence in the field of music is as limited as its memorial weight is overwhelming in contemporary nationalist narratives on Algerian music. However, the Algiers musical case might be more telling from a cultural history of modern France point of view: it shows – surprisingly? – that in France, multiculturalism is not tied to imperialism. If one considers for a moment that Algiers, from 1862 to 1962, is not fundamentally “colonial”, admits that it has for a time shared a common destiny with the hexagone, and yields to the fact that it hosted a genuine cultural policy aimed at the promotion of diversity, one is led to wonder if Jacobinism, as is often said, is consubstantial to France

Abstract:
Du métro parisien aux festivals de musiques dites du monde les plus connus, sur les trottoirs des grandes villes et dans des salles de concert de tailles et de projections diverses, des ensembles jouant des musiques « des Andes » ont réussi à se produire en France depuis plus d’un demi-siècle. L'image d'une certaine "andinité" s'est ainsi forgée autour de ces groupes, vérifiable aussi bien dans le répertoire diffusé que dans le discours qui a accompagné la commercialisation de ces musiques. Néanmoins, l’activité de ces ensembles s'est enracinée pour l'essentiel dans l’espace géographique et social du pays qui les a hébergés : non seulement leurs musiques ont été proposées à un public composé pour l’essentiel de Français, mais en fait la plupart de ces ensembles sont nés à Paris et ont développé leurs carrières en France.En étudiant la popularisation de ces musiques à la lumière des représentations sociales associées à l'univers "andin", cette thèse propose une relecture de la problématique de l'altérité incarnée par des manifestations musicales "autres" dans la société française. Notre analyse s'appuie sur la complémentarité de trois axes d'étude : l'imaginaire construit en France autour des peuples appartenant aux aires culturelles andines, l’émergence et le succès de ces musiques entre les années 1950 et 1970, et une enquête de terrain menée à l'occasion d'une série de concerts de musiques "des Andes" proposés en Île-de-France en 2004. L'hypothèse repose sur l'idée que le bon accueil de ces musiques en France a été facilité par une prédisposition particulièrement favorable à l'univers latino-américain, dans une logique d'échanges culturels marquée par l'absence de conflits identitaires ou symboliques profonds
In the Parisian subway and in the most known World Music festivals, in the streets of big cities or in the concert halls, the "Andean Music" is played in France for more than half a century. The popularization of this music in France was associated to the construction of an "andeanity", as well in the repertory as in the discourse which accompanied their commercial distribution. Nevertheless, the activity of these ensembles was founded in the social French space: not only their "Andean" music was proposed to a French audience, but in fact most of these ensembles were born in Paris and developed their careers in France. By studying the popularization of this music in the light of the social representations of the "Andean" universe, our thesis proposes a second reading of the Otherness of the not European music in France. Our analysis if support on three axes: the social representations of the Andean cultures in France, the emergence and the success of the "Andean Music " between 1950s and 1970, and a survey research concerning the concerts proposed in Ile-de-France by the well-known ensemble Los Calchakis (2004). The hypothesis is founded on the idea that the success of this music in France was facilitated by a particularly receptive French audience to the Latin-American universe

Resumo: O Festival do Folclore de Olímpia - São Paulo (FEFOL) o maior evento do gênero no país, completou em 2011 quarenta e sete anos de existência. Em seu espaço são encontradas manifestações folclóricas ou tradicionais de todas as regiões brasileiras. A partir do pressuposto de que para alguns grupos folclóricos o FEFOL tornou-se o principal espaço de realização das suas atividades e considerando que o deslocamento dos seus locais de origem para outro espaço geográfico e social provoca transformações nas suas práticas, o presente trabalho investiga a relação entre estas manifestações e o novo contexto em que estão inseridas. A pesquisa realizada busca conhecer e compreender quais os motivos que levam os grupos a percorrer centenas de quilômetros todos os anos para participar do FEFOL, a influência do Festival do Folclore de Olímpia nesse processo e suas implicações para os ritos e para os integrantes destes grupos. O trabalho dedicou especial atenção aos grupos Batalhão de Bacamarteiros de Carmópolis (Sergipe), Terno de Congo Chambá (Minas Gerais), Terno de Congada Chapéu de Fitas (São Paulo) e o grupo Sabor Marajoara (Pará) e foram utilizadas, ao lado da bibliografia existente, entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os integrantes dos grupos e organizadores do FEFOL em épocas distintas, bem como o material audiovisual produzido em trabalho de campo e pelo próprio Festival
Abstract: Olímpia's Folklore Festival - São Paulo [Festival do Folclore de Olímpia (FEFOL)], the largest event of its kind in the country, completed forty-seven years of existence in 2011. Folkloric or traditional expressions from all regions of Brazil can be found there. Starting from the assumption that FEFOL became the main place for some folk groups to carry out their activities and considering that the displacements from their original places to another geographic and social area causes changes in their practices, this work investigates the relationship between these expressions and their new insertion context. This research intends to get to know and understand the reasons why those groups travel hundreds of miles every year to participate in the FEFOL, the Festival's influence in this process and its implications for the rites and the members of these groups. A special attention was dedicated to the groups "Batalhão de Bacamarteiros de Carmópolis" (from Sergipe), "Terno de Congo Chambá" (from Minas Gerais), "Terno de Congada Chapéu de Fitas" (from São Paulo) and the group "Sabor Marajoara" (from Pará); alongside the existing bibliography, semi-structured interviews with group members and with FEFOL's organizers at different moments were used, as well as audiovisual material produced in the field research and by the Festival

It aims at the understanding of his ideals and accomplishments regarding the transformation of his country in that matter. The historical, social and political context, of which we find evidence in his writings and patriotic songs, helps one towards a better comprehension of his objectives, reasonings and the achieved results, with special focus on the contemporary nationalistic ideology. From Villa-Lobos’ biography it is germane to highlight his travels throughout Brazil, from where he gathered folk music that later inspired the composer in the creation of his own work. In a scenario of profound political and social changes, Villa-Lobos’ is seen to be close to Getúlio Vargas’ dictatorial regime, a situation that allowed the composer to implement his music education project and that this essay refers to.

Abstract:
Investigations carried out by us in Murcia have brought to the fore the changes in children's orality as expressed in their songs. We have analyzed many children's songs transmitted through the oral tradition, which, in experiments in situ, we compiled from all the provinces of that Region and covering the entire XX century, given that the persons who enlightened us were aged from 4 to 99. Our fieldwork was not only limited to assembling the music and text of the songs, but also included the social, cultural and functional data of each song, whereby the analysis assumed an Anthropological profile. This thesis shows how children's songs have always been predetermined by the changing circumstances suffered by children throughout the entire century. The relationship between children's musical orality and the changing social and cultural climate in Murcia is possibly an indication of similar processes in other geographical areas.
En investigaciones realizadas en la Región de Murcia hemos venido verificando cambios en la oralidad infantil a través de sus canciones. Hemos analizado numerosos cantos infantiles de transmisión oral recogidos en trabajos de campo de todas las comarcas y décadas del siglo XX, pues acudimos a informantes entre 4 y 99 años. Esos trabajos no se limitaron al acopio de los elementos musicales y textuales de las canciones, sino que incluyeron datos del contexto social, cultural y funcional de cada una, por lo que el análisis entró en el campo de la Antropología musical. Esta tesis muestra cómo las canciones infantiles han venido estando sobredeterminadas por el entorno cambiante de la infancia a lo largo del siglo. La relación entre oralidad musical infantil y el mutante entorno socioeconómico de Murcia puede revelar procesos similares en otras áreas geográficas.

Abstract:
Cette thèse étudie la circulation internationale du folklore chilien pendant la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. On aborde le parcours de chanteurs et ensembles folkloriques liés à la gauche chilienne, ainsi que leurs pratiques artistiques, les espaces de diffusion musicale et les manières dont la musique folklorique est accueillie par le public général, les critiques de musique, les organisations politiques et les médias, notamment sur la presse de gauche et les maisons discographiques. L’espace géographique de cette circulation est constitué par les pays de l’Europe occidentale. La période d’étude est circonscrite par deux moments significatifs pour la circulation internationale du folklore chilien : le premier voyage en Europe de la chanteuse Violeta Parra le 1954 et la fin de l’exil des musiciens chiliens en 1988. Ce sont plus de 30 ans pendant lesquels les musiciens interagissent largement avec les divers contextes artistiques et politiques d’Europe. La première partie de la thèse aborde les activités que les musiciens chiliens ont réalisées en Europe entre l’année 1954 et le gouvernement de Salvador Allende (1970-1973), dans le contexte d’un fort regard exotique vers les musiques de l’Amérique latine. La deuxième partie s’occupe des activités artistiques ayant lieu entre les années 1968 et 1982, quand les événements politiques du Chili situent les manifestations culturelles, y compris le folklore, dans un lieu privilégié des circuits artistiques de la gauche européenne. Finalement, la troisième partie aborde les expériences artistiques développées entre les années 1978 et 1988, et analyse les répercussions que la vie en exil provoque sur la pratique du folklore chilien en Europe, notamment la mise en question de rôle de la politique
This thesis studies the international circulation of Chilean folk music’s during the second half of the 20th century. We discuss the international trajectory of singers and folk ensemble related to the Chilean Left, also their artistic practices, the space of musical circulation and the ways in which this folk music is welcomed by the general public, music critics, political organizations and media, including the left-wing press and labels. The geographical space of this circulation is constituted by the countries of Western Europe. The study period is circumscribed by two significant moments for the international circulation of Chilean folklore: the first trip to Europe of folk singer Violeta Parra in 1954 and the end of the exile of Chilean musicians in 1988. For more than 30 years, the musicians have been interacting extensively with the diverse artistic and political contexts of Europe. The first part of the thesis studies the activities that Chilean musicians performed in Europe between 1954 and the government of Salvador Allende (1970–1973), in a context of a strong exotic look towards the music of America Latin. The second part examines the artistic activities taking place between 1968 and 1982, when the political events of Chile locate the cultural manifestations, including the folklore, in a privileged place of the artistic circuits of the European left. Finally, the third part examines the artistic experiences developed between 1978 and 1988, and analyzes the repercussions that life in exile has on the practice of Chilean folklore in Europe, notably the questioning of the role of politics
