P, Bouliane Sandria. ""Good-bye Broadway, Hello Montréal" : Traduction, appropriation et création de chansons populaires canadiennes-françaises dans les années 1920." Thesis, Université Laval, 2013. http://www.theses.ulaval.ca/2013/30019/30019.pdf.
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.

Cette thèse porte sur l’analyse du récit identitaire (découlant tant de la musique, de l’imagerie que du discours) de la communauté de métal noir québécois (MNQ). S’étant développée dans la province de Québec vers 2005, cette communauté toujours active renferme un certain nombre de groupes (dont Forteresse, Brume d’Automne et Chasse-Galerie) employant le style black metal. En provenance de l’Europe du Nord, ce style s’est constitué dans les années 1980 et traite principalement de thématiques occultes, de la valorisation des cultures préchrétiennes ou encore de nationalisme, et ce, à l’aide d’une réalisation sonore lo-fi. La particularité de la communauté de MNQ réside dans l’adaptation du style black metal au contexte québécois. Ainsi, les musiciens projettent une vision romantique d’un Québec indépendant tant à travers la musique, l’imagerie que les discours. Ce faisant, ceux-ci créent donc un récit identitaire, où les différents événements liés à l’histoire de la province sont revisités afin de mieux cadrer dans l’idéologie black metal à laquelle ils adhèrent. Pour mieux comprendre comment se structure le récit musical, ainsi que ceux découlant de l’interprétation des images des livrets et du discours des membres de la communauté, les concepts de récits phonographique, paraphonographique et communal ont été employés. La jonction de ces trois niveaux de récit (phonographique, paraphonographique et communal) permet de faire émerger le récit dit « identitaire », un concept élaboré par le philosophe Paul Ricoeur. En effet, celui-ci avance que notre identité personnelle et collective est ordonnée à travers la narration et que l’interprétation de différents événements historiques – par les membres d’une communauté donnée – forme un récit identitaire particulier. Afin de comprendre ce récit identitaire, j’ai mené 21 entretiens ethnographiques avec 25 membres de la communauté de MNQ et fait l’analyse d’un total de 48 chansons en provenance de 10 groupes. Ainsi, la jonction de ces niveaux de récit a favorisé une meilleure compréhension des éléments musicaux, visuels et discursifs spécifiques de cette communauté qui, en plus de réutiliser les codes idéologiques et esthétiques propres au black metal, puise dans les références culturelles et historiques québécoises.

This thesis refers to the analysis of the identity-based narrative (resulting from music, imagery and speech) of the Québec black metal community (MNQ). Having developed in the province of Quebec around 2005, this still active community contains several groups (including Forteresse, Brume d’Automne and Chasse-Galerie) using the black metal style. Coming from Northern Europe, this style was created in the 1980s and deals mainly with occult topics, the valorization of pre-Christian cultures or even nationalism, and this, with the help of a lo-fi sound production. The particularity of the MNQ community lies in the adaptation of the black metal style to the Québec context. Thus, musicians project a romantic vision of an independent Québec through music, imagery and speeches. In doing so, they create an identity-based narrative, where the various events related to the history of the province are revisited to better fit into the black metal ideology to which they adhere. To better understand how the musical narrative is structured, as well as those arising from the interpretation of the images of the booklets and the discourse of the members of the community, the concepts of phonographic, paraphonographic and communal narrative were used. The junction of these three levels of narrative makes it possible to reveal the « identity-based » narrative, a concept elaborated by the philosopher Paul Ricoeur. Indeed, he argues that our personal and collective identity is ordered through narrative and that the interpretation of different historical events – by the members of a given community – forms a particular identity-based narrative. To understand this identity-based narrative, I conducted 21 ethnographic interviews with members of the community and performed the analysis of 48 songs total from 10 MNQ groups. Thus, the junction of these levels of narrative has fostered a better understanding of the specific musical, visual and discursive elements of this community which, in addition to reusing the ideological and aesthetic codes specific to black metal, draws on Québec cultural and historical references.

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 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
Guillien, Mathieu. "Du minimalisme dans la musique électronique populaire." Paris 8, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA084112.
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

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 textMelancholis and the banal is an essay on the cinema of quebec. This work inspires itself from two methodological approaches: psychoanalysis and semiology of cinema, and principally sets on two authors freud and sami-ali. Melancholia inscribes a peculiar movement of the quebecquer cinema in its dialectic of the real and the imaginary. Ambivalence, negativity and narcissism describe a very specific imaginary of the lack and more precisely of the loss, of a negated loss. Melancolia can push its expressivity to the zero degree until the most extreme immobility and silence; in this way, the banal recovers this process by cancelling its subjectivity, and in its "demetaphorization", by using and other language, the litteral. This neutralization betrays the fragility of the signifier, the analysis of films cover the work of four well-know filmakers in quebec: jacques leduc, andre forcier, denys arcand, claude jutra

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 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

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

Full textA certain conception of the absurd leads to interrogations, by means of musical analysis, on the meaning of those works by Ligeti and Kurtág which, through settings of Carroll’s or Kafka’s universe, are situated in the paradoxal ambiguity of the absurd. The question of heritage is central to these Hungarian composers marked by nazism and stalinism, and the numerous references which they make to musical tradition or to Bartók form a solid substratum in their respective writings. Their particular use of series and musical machines are witness to their freedom with regard to serial thinking, and their sense of rupture and revolt are expressed through the alterations which they inflict on citations or fossilized procedures. Yet, by their work at the frontiers of music (noise or language), they elaborate viable forms which open a potential path towards a new humanism in a society which, based on the pursuit of happiness, conceals pain

Full textThe thesis investigates the central period of the madrigalian output of Franco-Flemish composer Giovanni de Macque by considering five works published by de Macque between 1581 and 1597. The analysis of this corpus is based on two notions that were current in musical literature of the era and used by Macque himself in a dedicatory letter : ariosità and artificiosità. This analytical approach highlights one of the most significant aspects of profane vocal music in late Italian Cinquecento : the merging of simplicity and erudition, of lightness and complexity, of genres and stylistic registers. The thesis follows a chronological division which underlines the different phases of Macque's stylistic evolution during the period under consideration. After a contextualizing introduction, each section explores the three following issues: poetic choices, recourse to determinate musical techniques, and musical representation of the poetic text. The edition and the French translation of the poetic texts, the transcription of two books of the corpus and the translation of the composer's correspondence are located in the appendix
La tesi verte sull'analisi del periodo centrale della produzione madrigalistica del compositore franco fiammingo Giovanni de Macque, prendendo in considerazione cinque stampe, pubblicate tra il 1581 e il 1597. Il corpus viene valutato attraverso due nozioni utilizzate nella letteratura e nella trattistica musicale coeva, e dallo stesso Macque in una sua lettera dedicatoria : l'ariosità e l'artificiosità. Questa prospettiva analitica consente di esaminare un aspetto particolarmente significativo del repertorio vocale profano italiano degli ultimi decenni del Cinquecento : l'avvicinamento della scrittura sapiente alla leggerezza, l'accostamento della complessità alla semplicità, nonché la mescolanza di generi e di registri stilistici. La tesi segue un percorso cronologico che vuole individuare le fasi successive dello sviluppo stilistico di Macque durante il periodo preso in considerazione. Un'introduzione apre ogni singola parte con lo scopo di contestualizzare l'opera. L'analisi si concentra poi su tre parametri fondamentali della scrittura madrigalistica : le scelte poetiche, il ricorso a determinate tecniche compositive, ed infine la rappresentazione musicale del testo poetico. I testi poetici e la loro traduzione in francese, la trascrizione del Secondo libro de madrigali a cinque voci e del Terzo libro de madrigali a cinque voci, e la corrispondenza del compositore tradotta in francese sono riuniti in un volume di appendici

The research conducted is musicological in its suject, sociological in its method, and anthropological in its definition.

The associative union of music and sacred into a third entity sacred music has a signiifed absolute and relative signifiers that are not only linked to the repertoire itself but to the way from which transform it into an expression of symbolic and mythical language, a kind of emotional cathedral.

Full textCreated in the format of an argument essay, Impressionism and Bossa Nova - A surface analysis proposes a broad mosaic in which distinct and distant fields of knowledge, which are usually considered in isolation can interact fluidly and freely link together. Using information from areas such as song theory, cultural history, cognitive psychology, musicology, art critic, neuroscience and evolutionary biology, among others, the essay is structured in three multifaceted frames, simultaneously autonomous and complementary. In the first part of the essay, topics related to the melodic and linear dimension of the music are addressed, in relation to the memory and perception of time. Compositions authored by Tom Jobim are highlighted and help to shed light on the eminently melodic character of the folk song, while revealing their own level of innovation in the past and defining its place in the tradition of Brazilian music. In the second part the essay, focus is given to the role of harmony and to a proper vertical dimension of music, a dimension that relates to the prompt impact of the instant. Apart from a long introduction regarding the change in harmonic discourse in the European music of the nineteenth century, a emphasis is given to the more direct impact of feelings and sensations, rather than on a linear and narrative conception of the musical discourse. This shift can be seen as a point of approximation not only between the music of Claude Debussy with the painting of Claude Monet (Impressionism) but also with the new style created by Tom Jobim and Joao Gilberto in Brazil (Bossa Nova). The third and last part of the essay proposes a new focus on the rhythmic dimension of the Brazilian music, broadened in light of recent studies, and taking the music of Tom Jobim and Joâo Gilberto as the basis for comparison, thereby increasing the understanding of its relationship with the body, the language, and the idea of cultural development in the country

Full textThis thesis, in conjunction with two recitals given toward fulfillment of a doctoral degree in pedagogical studies and instrumental musical practices, addresses collective teaching of the trombone in Brazil and examines the trombone from three perspectives: historical, educational and that of musical performance. Although the topic is not new, the project offers a reflection, on the trombone and how it is taught, unexplored mainly due to the repertoire selected for this study. Indeed, to our knowledge, written musical arrangements of the Brazilian popular repertoire have, until now, not been undertaken with a view both toward public performance as well as with pedagogical aims. The chosen pieces were selected because of their content, which presents a musical vocabulary related to the regional cultures of four of the five geographic regions of Brazil: the Northeast, the Midwest, the Southwest and the South. During the course of this project, the selected pieces were arranged such that they could serve as pedagogical tools for trombone training in the context of Brazilian music. The arrangements were designed for small ensembles, in which the trombone often plays the role of soloist. Thus, beyond the concepts and techniques gained through traditional training, performing the arrangements gave the doctoral student and soloist the opportunity to present, through the language of Brazilian popular music improvisation, the outcomes of processes developed over the past two years. Scores are appended to the text of the thesis, in order to illustrate certain remarks and with the goal of supporting future research in this area. The thesis is divided into four chapters, which, although presented separately, are closely related. The first chapter provides an overview of the history of the instrument through the five centuries of its existence. The second chapter focuses on the history of Brazilian music and on the presence of the trombone in Brazil. The third chapter begins with an overview of the artistic and musical education in Brazil in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, then addresses the situation of teaching the trombone in Brazil, ultimately leading to a proposal to promote learning the trombone in the context of collective music education. Finally, the fourth chapter looks back at the musical experiences of the first part of this project, as an account of instrumental music practice, establishing links and following lines of thought with the perspective of teaching and learning the trombone.

Full textFirst of all this thesis, deals with the History of popular Breton singing and music. Secondly, it deals with a study of the different Breton movements which were more or less active from the French Revolution to the 1970's. These very years witnessed an awakering of the Breton identity, notably through music and songs which had been modernized by several artists. This "Breton wave" almost died down in the late 1970's and was followed by a decade during which much research was achieved and a new generation of musicians was forged. Thirdly, it deals with the new musical revival of the early 1990's. By then this music was widely popularized by the media, so a larger audience discovered this new music, both diverse and also hybrid in many ways. Each one of these eras has been analyzed. This bulk of research, completed by artists statements, allows the reader to grasp the main steps that characterized this popular art, which appear to be the major strengh of contemporary Breton culture
