Full textMy thesis is based on the analysis of musical instruments in canadian works such as paintings, drawings, etchings. . . I have previously listed more than three hundred of the latter from the great eastern canadian museums (national gallery of canada, fine arts museum of montreal, museum of quebec, royal ontario museum. . . ). This inventory is not exhaustive but significant enough to layout the different chapters and set off the process of analysis. On the methodological point of view, the study of the different kinds of representations and the specific character of the chosen iconographic theme (the musical instrument), extend the area of my investigations. The iconology remains the principal way of my intervention but is frequently linked with the historical or sociological study, with the musical, ethnological or philosophical reference. The use of several methods of working in different specialized fields is a good way to circumvent the polysemic meaning of the subject which is concerned. One of the basic hypotheses is that the musical instruments, as figured in paintings, reveal something about the cultural reality. The canadian specification expresses itself principally with the instruments of the three first chapters: the instrument used in merrymaking: the fiddler's violin; -the instruments played outdoors: the military brittain wind-band and the indians' music; -the woman pianist. The three last chapters discuss a more universal subject. They are about the musical instrument in the portrait, the symbolism of the mythological lyre and of religious instruments and about still-life. The musical instruments which are played on in the first scenes become progressively silent. About this music, the representation takes over from which is represented

Full textThe concept of place is integral to country music, a genre conventionally associated with geographic regions, rural landscapes, and community values. While country music literature has defined the genre’s connection to place in relation to the geography of its origins and prominent scenes, there has been a growing scholarly interest in the place-themed songs that proliferate the genre. The tradition of place songs finds its roots in early hillbilly recordings, songs of the singing cowboy, Kentucky bluegrass, and western swing, where songwriters expressed nostalgia for the seemingly simpler places and times of their childhood. These narratives do not just describe the landscape and culture of geographic regions, but rather, they also define the relationship between individuals and their surrounding environment and community, unveiling elements of the artist’s character, values, and beliefs. Focusing on the music of Canadian alt-country artist Corb Lund, this dissertation seeks to define this relationship between country singer-songwriter and place, and interrogate how he (like many other country artists) uses place songs to explore more fully his ties to his Albertan origins. More specifically, it is interested in how place-based narratives contribute to the construction of an artist’s identity, what Simon Frith (1996) calls the artistic persona. As both Richard Peterson (1997) and Pamela Fox (2009) have noted, country artists tend to refer to their origins as an act of “authentic sincerity, ” constructing personalized (often autobiographical) conceptions of place. For a study of this nature, it was important to consider the multiple layers of signification surrounding a singer-songwriter including genre, levels of artistic identity, and geographic-cultural (“geo-cultural”) association. Cultural geographic and ecomusicological discourse offers a rich understanding of the ways in which individuals respond to place and the intimate connection between the “sense of self” and the “sense of place” (Tuan 1974; Cantrill 1993; Solomon 2000). The concept “geo-cultural” identity, drawn from the political sciences (Talukder 2013), is invoked to describe this connection and define the geographic-cultural elements of an artist’s identity. Through an interrogation of Lund’s music, this dissertation explores how the singer-songwriter describes life, work, and socio-cultural issues in his native Alberta, creating diverse conceptions of place, all while constructing his uniquely Albertan “geo-cultural” identity.

Full textThis research offers a socio-discursive insight on the Montréal rap scene, by looking into the practices, representations, experiences and trajectories of female rappers in Montréal, through the prism of gender. Grounded in the field of sociolinguistics – and even more so in urban sociolinguistics for the originality of its questionings – and anchored to the theoretical and epistemological frameworks that envisage gender as a coproduced social relation (“rapport social”) and subjectivities as permeated by social relations, but never completely determined by them, this study is based on a fieldwork among female Montréal rappers, which took place in 2011. Based on a discursive corpus, interpreted using both discourse analysis and thematic analysis, it engages an interpretation of the phenomena and of the processes as territorialized. The practices, experiences and representations of the female rappers will be analyzed in a context marked by their scarcity. Beside the actualization of gender relations and formation processes, I find that the sociolinguistic features of Montréal’s social space, and what is referred to as “québéquicity”, also impact the practices and the experiences of the rappers. Thus, the rappers compose their practices and their trajectories while being constantly positioned in a unique, dynamic, and bound to be ambivalent place inside the “matrix of domination”, shaped by the interweaving of gender, language, perspectives on rap music, and the heritage of an ideology of the French-Canadian “francophonie”, that notably actualizes the contemporary concept of “québéquicity”

Full textThe three parts of this doctoral dissertation combine to support the hypothesis that musical signs were used in the transmission of Christian hymns during the 5th – 10th centuries. In the first part, a papyrological corpus provides evidence of three types of musical indications: hirmoi, which were used as musical models for liturgical canon strophes, modal signs from the octoechos system and un-identified interlinear symbols. In the second part, several hirmoi identified in the papyri are located in hirmologia from the 10th – 13th centuries – liturgical books containing paleo-byzantine and medio-byzantine musical notations. The different versions of the melodies are compared and then transcribed into modern notation. In the final part, the strophe texts and unidentified symbols from the papyri are superimposed on the musical transcriptions in order to analyze and interpret the functions of the symbols

Full textThe end of the 19th century in Montreal is a time of great intellectual and cultural development, which sees the birth of new artistic currents such as impressionism and symbolism. These currents appear in many different arts of the time. Many artistic associations are created during this period, and the École littéraire de Montréal is one of the most important among them. One of the most famous members of the École is poet Émile Nelligan, who produced a great amount of work between 1896 and 1899. Through his connections with the other members of the École littéraire de Montréal, Nelligan was in contact with the cultural and artistic changes of the time, and many of his poems include references to arts other than literature, such as painting and music. Our aim is to study how the artistic currents of the time, particularly in painting and in music, appear in Nelligan’s poetry. We base our study on the approach of literary analysis by Gérard Dessons, which is based on the analysis of different literary elements and techniques that make up the poem in order to derive its meaning. We wish to bring a greater understanding of the artistic trends present in turn-of-the-century Montreal and how Nelligan uses literary techniques to incorporate the principal techniques and ideas of those artistic currents in his work. We also wish to show the transdisciplinary nature of Nelligan’s work and his great sensibility to the relationships between the arts, even if he practiced only literature during his lifetime.

Full textLa présente thèse explore les relations esthétiques entre la poésie et la musique. Elle examine les éléments qui unissent et qui différencient les deux formes d’art, en mettant l’accent sur les caractéristiques que la poésie contemporaine et la musique électroacoustique ont en commun. Pour tenter d’expliquer la façon dont les caractéristiques de la poésie peuvent servir d’outil de composition musicale, ce document s’appuie sur des recherches récentes et plus anciennes concernant la musique et le récit, l’esthétique des musiques électroacoustiques, la psychoacoustique, la poétique, la sémiologie, la linguistique ainsi que l’histoire de la poésie et de la musique. Cette approche globale présente une analogie entre le son environnemental et le mot poétique, communicateur d’image, de sentiment et d’histoire qui, lorsque recontextualisé en musique, peut à la fois transmettre et provoquer des émotions. En effet, dans la musique électroacoustique, le son environnemental peut détailler de manière explicite les caractéristiques d’un espace acoustique réel; cependant, grâce à la transformation créée par le traitement du signal, le son peut également passer du côté abstrait. Ce mouvement entre les sons perçus comme réels et ceux perçus comme abstraits se compare à celui observé dans la poésie contemporaine. Les deux formes d’art peuvent également exprimer un sens littéral et symbolique. La présente thèse cherche à définir la façon dont ces éléments communs, entre autres, permettent de surmonter les obstacles intercommunicationnels naturellement entraînés par les différences syntaxiques entre la poésie et la musique afin de permettre une interprétation associative de la poésie en musique. La thèse se termine par l’analyse musicale de quatre compositions, dont trois ont été créées grâce au soutien du Conseil des arts du Canada. Ces trois pièces, qui forment le noyau de mon doctorat, exemplifient la musique inspirée par la poésie et composée à partir d’enregistrements de sons environnementaux. Trois œuvres des poètes canadiens John Steffler, Don Domanski et Marilyn Dumont évoquent les différentes régions du Canada d’où les enregistrements sont tirés. Ces poèmes, variés sur le plan esthétique, utilisent un langage distinct pour décrire la diversité de l’écologie canadienne moderne. Le contenu de chaque poème, de concert avec mon propre souvenir empirique des environnements qui font l’objet des enregistrements, est la source d’inspiration principale de la musique. La quatrième pièce utilise également la poésie comme base de la composition; il s’agit toutefois d’une œuvre antérieure, moins axée sur l’exploitation du potentiel de l’enregistrement de sons environnementaux pour créer une œuvre musicale représentative d’une imagerie poétique portant sur un lieu précis. Elle est présentée à titre d’exemple de l’évolution de mes stratégies et de mes préoccupations compositionnelles.
This thesis explores aesthetic relationships between poetry and music. It looks at both the analogous and disparate traits of the two arts with a focus towards the shared qualities of contemporary poetry and electroacoustic music. In suggesting how those of the former lend themselves as a tool for the composition of the latter, the paper touches on current and past research concerning music and narrative, electroacoustic aesthetics, psychoacoustics, poetics, semiology, linguistics and the history of poetry and music. This broad approach considers environmental sound as similar to the poetic word – a communicator of image, feeling, and history that, when re-contextualized in music, has the ability to both convey and elicit emotion. Indeed, in electroacoustic music, environmental sound can explicitly detail the characteristics of a real acoustic space, however, with the transformative effects of signal processing it can also shift into the abstract. This motion between sounds perceived as real and abstract parallels motion in contemporary poetry. Both arts can also express literal and symbolic meaning. This thesis investigates how these and other shared traits overcome intercommunicative barriers that arise naturally from their syntactical differences to mediate associative interpretations of poetry in music. The thesis ends with the musical analysis of four compositions, three of which were created with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. These three pieces are the fruition of much of my doctoral work, exemplifying music inspired by poetry and composed from recordings of the Canadian environment. The regions represented in these recordings feature in the work of contemporary Canadian poets, John Steffler, Don Domanski and Marilyn Dumont. Varying in aesthetic, these poems use distinct language to depict the diversity of modern Canadian ecology. The content of each poem, in combination with my own experiential memory of the recorded environments, provides the inspiration for much of the music. The fourth piece presented also uses poetry as a foundation for composition; however, it is an earlier work that is less concerned with exploiting the potential of environmental recordings to create music representative of location-bound imagery in poetry. It has been included as an example of how my compositional strategies and concerns were refined.

Full textLa carrière du pianiste-compositeur Émiliano Renaud (1875-1932) est peu connue. Surnommé le «Paderewski canadien», il est le premier virtuose québécois à avoir établi, à l’instar du maître polonais, de nouveaux standards dans la présentation des récitals, à une époque où ces concerts affichaient surtout des programmes constitués d’extraits de pièces rarement exécutés par un seul interprète et proposés la plupart du temps, sous forme de pot-pourri. Il est également le premier musicien à avoir utilisé la nouvelle technologie de la radio à des fins pédagogiques et l’un des rares compositeurs de l’époque à avoir été édité aux États-Unis. Formé à Vienne et à Berlin auprès de virtuoses renommés, il poursuit d’abord une carrière d’enseignant au Conservatoire d’Indianapolis avant de s’installer à New York du-rant quelques années où il élabore une méthode d’apprentissage du piano. Il revient défini-tivement à Montréal en 1921 et s’implique dans de nombreuses activités musicales : récitals, composition, enseignement et édition. Notre recherche, la première sur le sujet, retrace les principaux jalons de la carrière de ce virtuose du piano au début du vingtième siècle, tout en la situant dans le contexte cul-turel et musical de l’époque. Nous souhaitons ainsi réhabiliter un musicien relégué injuste-ment dans l’oubli après son décès et qui a contribué, à sa manière, au développement de la vie musicale du Québec; tout en nous interrogeant sur la perception de la virtuosité dans la presse musicale de cette époque. Les annexes offrent quelques points de repère dont une chronologie, une liste de son répertoire ainsi qu’un inventaire de ses œuvres.
Little is known of the career of composer and pianist Émiliano Renaud (1875-1932). Called the “Canadian Paderewski”, Renaud is the first Quebec virtuoso to have set up, as his Polish master, new standards in recitals, at a time when concerts mainly offered programs made of a mixture of excerpts rarely played by a single interpreter. Émiliano Renaud is also the first musician to have used the new technology of the radio for pedagogical purposes, as well as one of the few composers of the time to have had his works edited in the United States. Trained in Vienna and Berlin by renowned masters, he first pursued a teaching career at Indianapolis Music School before moving to New York for a few years, where he created a piano learning method. He moved permanently to Montreal in 1921 and was involved in numerous musical activities: giving recitals, composing, teaching and editing. This study, the first on the subject, traces the landmarks of Renaud’s career as a virtuoso at the beginning of the twentieth century. It offers a broad cultural and musical frame through which to assess the artist’s achievements. One of the main aims of this research is to rehabilitate Émiliano Renaud, undeservedly cast into oblivion after his death. This rehabilitation is all the more necessary as Renaud contributed, in his own way, to developing Quebec’s musical life. In a related way, this study also tackles the issue of the reception of the phenomenon of virtuosity by the critics at that period. Annexes provide benchmarks, including a chronology, a list of the musician’s repertoire, and an inventory of his works.
Paré, Justine. "Messe solennelle pour la famille Lebel ; suivi de L'évolution du procédé polyphonique chez Suzanne Jacob." Thèse, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/11684.
Full textMy essay and my novel echo and dialogue with one another, thus mirroring the subject of my research: polyphony. In L’évolution du procédé polyphonique chez Suzanne Jacob, I study three choral novels by Suzanne Jacob (L’obéissance, Rouge, mère et fils and Fugueuses) in which musical references are omnipresent and stories are told by many voices. Since I study the musical aspect of polyphony in parallel with its literary counterpart, it can be said that I also use the counterpoint at the heart of my essay. This essay is preceded by Messe solennelle pour la famille Lebel, a polyphonic novel in which, like that of Fugueuses, the musical references are implicit in the title itself and can be read like a musical score. It tells the story of four family members – two men and two women – who have to face the death of one of their own. They share a counterpoint narration in a story told through many voices (inspired by the four main vocal categories in music) whose structure is reminiscent of the requiem, also known as Mass for the dead.
