Abstract:

<p> 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.

This document represents the investigative research on the solo piano music of Joaquin Rodrigo, a repertoire that dates from 1923 to 1987.

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.

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

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.

This thesis examines the function of music within different theories of nationalism and the appropriation of folk music within the genre of min’ge.

Through the years, min’ge has become more useful to promoting the goals of the state than representing the musical traditions of the many di

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 so

Magister Philosophiae - MPhil<br>The Arabic language is a means by which the culture, beliefs and myths of Arabic speaking communities in the world can be understood.

Abstract:

Este trabalho ocupa-se da intervenção de Heitor Villa-Lobos no domínio da educação musical no Brasil da primeira metade do século XX. Visa a compreensão dos ideais e realizações do compositor, na transformação do seu país nesse domínio. A contextualização histórica, social e política, com particular destaque para a ideologia nacionalista vigente, de que encontramos marcas nos escritos e nas canções patrióticas de Villa-Lobos, contribui para entender melhor os seus objetivos, justificações e os resultados alcançados. Destacam-se na biografia de Villa-Lobos, as viagens que fez pelo Brasil, a re

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 prof
