Abstract:
OBJETIVO: Caracterizar a dinâmica vocal por meio da fonetografia em coristas de diferentes classificações vocais. MÉTODOS: Participaram 44 indivíduos, de 19 a 75 anos (média=51,9 anos) membros de um coral profissional; sendo, oito sopranos, 20 mezzo-sopranos, quatro tenores, sete barítonos e cinco baixos. Realizou-se a fonetografia, em sala acusticamente tratada. RESULTADOS: Foram obtidas as médias das freqüências mínimas e máximas, respectivamente: soprano 36st (130 Hz) e 72st (1084 Hz), mezzo-soprano 35st (124 Hz) e 68st (878 Hz); tenor 28st (85 Hz) e 65st (709 Hz), barítono 26st (74 Hz) e 59 (524 Hz) e baixo 26st (75 Hz) e 59st (513 Hz). Quanto às médias das intensidades mínimas e máximas, encontrou-se, respectivamente: soprano 64 dB e 131 dB, mezzo-soprano 75 dB e 123 dB, tenor 82 dB e 126 dB, barítono 75 dB e 121 dB e baixo 75 dB e 120 dB. Na análise estatística (Teste t de Student), observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante entre as vozes femininas: soprano apresentou maior freqüência máxima que mezzo-soprano. CONCLUSÃO: Tais achados indicam que a fonetografia permite o registro das características vocais relevantes para a classificação vocal de coristas, podendo auxiliar em uma classificação vocal adequada.

Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a highly efficient automatic test pattern generator for stuck-open (SOP) faults, called SOPRANO, in CMOS combinational circuits. The key idea of SOPRANO is to convert a CMOS circuit into an equivalent gate level circuit and SOP faults into the equivalent stuck-at faults. Then SOPRANO derives test patterns for SOP faults using a gate level test pattern generator. Several techniques to reduce the test set size are introduced in SOPRANO. Experimental results performed on eight benchmark circuits show that SOPRANO achieves high SOP fault coverage and short processing time.

Full text
Abstract:
The article examines the relation between traditional vocal music and contemporary compositional poetics in Serbian art song, created in the last two decades. The special relationship between the ?eastern? Balkans inheritance and ?western? compositional practices which characterized Serbian music throughout the 20th century is considered in a contemporary, post-modern context and within a particular genre framework. The status of the reference itself, as well as of referential relationships, are examined through examples taken from three works: Dve tuzbalice (1997) for soprano, viola and piano by Djuro Zivkovic (1975), Da su meni oci tvoje (2008) for soprano, flute and piano by Ivan Brkljacic (1977) and Rukoveti (2000) for soprano and orchestra by Isidora Zebeljan (1967).

Full text
Abstract:
Handel's music was a key source for Drury Lane entertainments from 1728 to 1745. Ballad-opera writers regularly deployed Handel tunes, generating multiple performances of his music in low-style, native works that long preceded his oratorios. The soprano Kitty Clive, the biggest star of this genre, initially performed Handel airs both in ballad operas and as additional songs. From 1737, Handel compositions helped bolster Clive's ‘high-style’ reputation, while Handel benefited from Clive's audience-drawing power. In its politics, narratives and musical forms, the design of music Handel composed for Clive shows him adhering closely to the soprano's already established star persona.

Abstract:
The HBO television series The Sopranos, produced by David Chase, achieved unprecedented critical acclaim and quickly established itself on both sides of the Atlantic as cult viewing. The fourth series, shown in the UK on Channel 4 in spring 2003, had already attracted record audiences in America and received 13 Emmy Award nominations. Not surprisingly, The Sopranos has generated several web sites and a considerable amount of literature, ranging from the usual spin-offs of television series, cds, scripts, collected reviews, and a number of more academic studies ranging from cultural studies through to explorations of the psychological aspects of the programme. At least one MA has been written dealing with the portrayal of psychotherapy in this series and in films. This is not as remarkable as it might seem given that therapy is central to the whole story. The main character, Tony Soprano (played by James Gandolfini), is the head of an Italian–American family living in New Jersey. However, like his name itself, “family” has a double meaning. Tony is also the head of a Mafia-style gang of mobsters, operating a “waste management company” and night club (The Bada Bing!). The two roles of family head are explored when Tony talks (or “sings”) to a psychiatrist (in addition to his gang-land counsellors) as a result of his anxiety attacks and depression. Thus, Tony Soprano, mobster, is presented as a troubled family man – troubled by his relationships with his wife, daughter, and son, and their futures, but also troubled by business rivalries and problems that arise from the nature of his “work” and colleagues. As one commentator writes, Tony is the subject of “profound moral ambiguity” and it is his struggle to come to terms with this that makes it possible for viewers to identify with him. It is also the focus of his sessions with the therapist, Dr Melfi (played by Lorraine Bracco).

Abstract:
Na busca da sonoridade histórica e estilisticamente embasada para a interpretação vocal da música sacra mineira da segunda metade do século XVIII e início do XIX, tornase necessário um paralelo com a música realizada em Portugal durante o século XVIII, que constate a influência desta sobre a música mineira setecentista. Neste artigo pretendemos investigar as similaridades estilísticas entre a música do compositor mineiro José Joaquim Emerico Lobo de Mesquita, particularmente no solo de soprano de sua Missa em Mi bemol, com o solo de soprano de uma Missa a cinco vozes do compositor David Perez e o primeiro movimento do moteto Care Deus si respiro, para soprano solo e cordas, de Niccolò Jommelli, compositores italianos da escola napolitana atuantes em Portugal na segunda metade do século XVIII. Temos como objetivo justificar a utilização de tratados europeus para a fundamentação dos aspectos interpretativos da música mineira.

Abstract:
Both in television shows such as The Rockford Files and The Sopranos and in the fiction of writers such as John Updike, Richard Ford, and Douglas Coupland, popular culture draws a distinction between Atlantic Coast and Pacific Coast suburbs. The differences revolve around two themes. The first concerns the roles of place and space. The second is the varying weight of history, often as manifested through families and social ties. Eastern suburbs and suburbanites are commonly depicted as embedded in place, rooted in time, and entangled in social networks. Western suburbs and suburbanites are often imagined as the opposite—isolated in space, atemporal, and free (or bereft) of social bonds.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine and empirically test the pedagogical claim that playing the piano while listening to choral singers impedes error detection ability. In a within-subjects design, participants ( N = 55 preservice teachers) either listened to four excerpts of choral hymns or played a single part (soprano/bass) on the piano while listening. They were asked to locate the errors that occurred in these excerpts. Each excerpt contained a pitch and a rhythm error, in the soprano and bass voice parts. Results of an analysis of covariance (with years of piano study as the covariate) indicated significant main effects for condition and voicing. There were more errors detected in the soprano voicing than in the bass voicing, and more errors detected in the listen condition than in the playing condition. Implications for music teacher education are discussed, including adding practice in error detection activities to methods and conducting courses.

Abstract:
Singers convey meaning via both text and music. As sopranos balance tone quality and diction, vowel intelligibility is often compromised at high pitches. This study examines how sopranos modify their vowels against an increasing fundamental, and in turn how such vowel modification affects vowel intelligibility. We examine the vowel modification process of three non-central vowels in Cantonese ([a], [ɛ] and [ɔ]) using the spectral centroid. Acoustic results suggest that overall vowel modification is conditioned by vowel height in mid-ranges and by vowel frontness in higher ranges. In a following perception task, listeners identified and discriminated vowels at pitches spanning an octave from A4 (nominally 440 Hz) to G♯5 (nominally 831 Hz). Results showed that perceptual accuracy rates of the three vowels’ match their acoustic patterns. The overall results suggest that vowels are not modified in a unified way in sopranos’ voices, implying that research on sopranos’ singing strategies should consider vocalic differences.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe the Bungong Jeumpa song that arranged by Paul Widyawan based on melodic and harmonic principles. This type of research was qualitative with an approach to analyzing the content of objectivity of generalization structures. The theory used was the theory of understanding analysis, song structure, arrangements, choir arrangement techniques, (chord progression) and contrapung. Data in this study was taken from literature studies, interviews and experiment. The results of the study obtains that the Bungong Jeumpa song has two-part of song form, namely period A which is built two phrases, namely a and x phrases and period B which is built two phrases, namely b and a phrases'. Bungong Jeumpa song is arranged based on the structure of the song including the intro, the core part of the song and coda. In arranging, Paul Widyawan is not only based on the initial chord progression, but also developing the chord become more varied and added non harmonic tones. Cadence in Bungong Jeumpa is authentic half, imperfect authentic, perfect authentic and picardie third cadences. Patternically, the movement of the tones in the four octaves of the melody moves in a non-parallel manner. Motus is between soprano and alto tends to be parallel (motus rectus), motus is between soprano and tenor tends to deviate (motus obliqus) and motus is between soprano and bass also tends to deviate (motus obliqus). Besides, Paul Widyawan adopts the contrapung (counterpoint) theory of conventional western music which the sound on cantus firmus is not always be in the soprano (keep moving). Keywords: Analysis, song structure, chord and cadence progression, motus and contrapung.

Requiem per una veu perduda (Requiem for a lost voice in Catalan) is a piece for mezzo-soprano with on-stage effects processing and recorded electroacoustic material. The electroacoustic material consists mainly of synthesised vocal sounds and the pitches for the mezzo-soprano part were defined based upon the functioning of the speech synthesis methods used. This paper outlines the basics of one of the speech synthesis methods used to compose the piece and introduces the scheme for the definition of the pitch material for the singing. The relationship between the speech synthesis methods and the pitch material establishes the structural foundations of the piece.

Abstract:
Everyone has a different kind of voice. Based on gender, voice type is divided into six parts, namely soprano, mezzo soprano, and alto for women; and tenor, baritone, and bass in men. Each type of sound has a different range and with different frequencies. This study classified the type of voice in women using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method by recording the voices of each user which would then be processed using the FFT method to obtain the appropriate sound range. This research got results with an accuracy of up to 80%.The results obtained from this study are quite appropriate and it is proven that the FFT method can be used in digital signal processing.

Twórcy tych utworów korzystają z nowych środków stylistycznych, a także eksperymentują z ukonstytuowanymi od początku istnienia telewizji schematami narracyjnymi. W artykule podjęto tematykę serialowych horrorów, które zalicza się właśnie do produkcji złożonych narracyjnie. Na przykładzie wybranych sezonów popularnych amerykańskich seriali grozy: Buffy, postrach wampirów (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 1997–2003), Żywe trupy (The Walking Dead, 2010–), American Horror Story (2011–) i Channel Zero (2016–2018) oraz serialu amerykańsko-angielskiego Dom grozy (Penny Dreadful, 2014–2016) omówiono kwestię zmian w strategiach narracyjnych tychże seriali. Szukano odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: czy współczesne seriale grozy przeszły podobną metamorfozę jak dramaty jakościowe i na czym ta zmiana polega? Czy występują postmodernistyczne kolaże, zakłócenia w warstwie temporalnej linii narracyjnych? Czy twórcy wplatają nowatorskie rozwiązania, podążając za myślą formalistów rosyjskich, w struktury narracyjne? I w końcu czy można mówić o nowym typie seriali horrorów, czy są to jedynie powielone wzorce, które wcześniej występowały w serialowym dyskursie grozy?

Abstract:
Sopront a rendszerváltoztatás előtti időszakban évtizedekig a titokzatosság és a bezártság jellemezte. Bátran állíthatjuk, hogy az elmúlt harminc év bizonyította, hogy Sopron az egyik legvendégszeretőbb és legbarátságosabb városa Magyarországnak. Akinek csak egyszer is megsimogatja arcát a soproni szél, és fülében hallja zúgni a város harangjait, annak örökre szívébe és lelkébe vésődik a város iránti szeretet, amellyel örök hűséget fogad Sopronnak. Sopron hazánk nyugati kapuja, amely „kapunak” az őrzése és védelme rendkívüli kihívások elé állították a rendészeti szakterületen dolgozó elődjeinket és teszi ezt napjaink szakembereivel is. „Civitas Fidelissima” – a leghűségesebb város. Az 1921. évi népszavazás emlékére adományozta az ország Sopron városának ezt az örökérvényű jelzőt. A hűség és a szabadság városának biztonságát ugyanúgy hűséggel, szakértelemmel és odaadással lehet biztosítani. A hűség és a szabadság városának különös rendészeti aspektusairól, a jelenkor kihívásairól és a jövőbeni tervekről beszélgetett dr. Dános Valér főszerkesztő és dr. Szabó Csaba felelős szerkesztő dr. Herczeg Zoltán r. alezredes úrral, a Soproni Rendőrkapitányság vezetőjével.

Abstract:
Previous studies have shown that, during search flight in bats, wingbeat, respiration and echolocation are synchronised in a 1:1 relationship. An efficiently integrated locomotor-respiratory system enables bats to produce intense echolocation signals at little or no cost above that required for flight. In this study, we investigated the coupling of wingbeat with echolocation in the laboratory during approach flight in soprano pipistrelles (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) using high-speed digital video at 250 and 500 frames s(−)(1). We found that soprano pipistrelles most commonly produce single or double pulses per wingbeat. Single pulses per wingbeat occurred in two alternative positions: immediately before the end of the upstroke or after the start of the downstroke. Double pulses per wingbeat were emitted in the same wingbeat positions on the upstroke and the downstroke, as in single pulses per wingbeat. We suggest that, during approach flight, the coupling of more than one echolocation signal with a single wingbeat and expiratory cycle allows echolocation to remain energetically economic. When soprano pipistrelles approached a Perspex disc target, an increase in mean repetition rate was achieved by producing an extra pulse per wingbeat. Finally, we hypothesise that the bat's approach to potentially interesting targets in the same horizontal plane as it's flight path, i.e. during flapping flight, may be characterised by the production of double pulses per wingbeat, resulting in a unique pattern of echolocation pulse intervals.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores a slice of the careers of two ‘rival’ coloratura singers – the Swedish soprano Christine Nilsson and the French soprano Caroline Miolan Carvalho – during the period 1867 to 1870, and considers the internationalisation of singing careers, women's choices and negotiation of their career paths, and fortunes made and lost. With both singers employed at the Paris Opéra from November 1868 onwards as Gounod's Faust went into rehearsal, the focus falls on the ‘Battle of the Marguerites’ in the Parisian press in spring 1869, which raised heated questions of dramatic and vocal interpretation and style, often linked to cultural stereotypes, as well as artistic legitimacy and stature. Through examination of previously overlooked archival financial and legal records, this article also reveals for the first time that Miolan Carvalho was indentured to the director of the Opéra Emile Perrin during this period.

Abstract:
Maurice Greene (1696–1755), best known for his sacred and secular vocal music on English texts, left a substantial corpus of vocal chamber music set to Italian texts that remained unpublished during his lifetime and has not been studied in detail until now. It comprises ten cantatas for soprano and continuo, one cantata and seven chamber arias for voice, violin and continuo, four chamber duets and a cycle, scored variously for soprano and bass voice with continuo, of 15 settings of Anacreontic odes translated into Italian by Paolo Rolli. Greene was the only major English composer contemporary with Handel to produce such a quantity and variety of ‘Italian’ vocal music, and these compositions, which evidence a very good knowledge of the Italian language and Italian musical style, are of a quality to match their Handelian counterparts. They are subtle, responsive to the text and in certain respects very distinctive and original.

Abstract:
Antecedentes: algunos estudios sugieren que el estado nutricional y la composición corporal pueden afectar la voz. Objetivo: comparar el estado nutricional y la composición corporal de cantantes líricos con la tesitura de la voz. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal y descriptivo en cantantes líricos sanos de ambos sexos de la ciudad de Concepción, Chile. Los cantantes se clasificaron en soprano, mezzosoprano y contralto (mujeres), y en tenor, barítono y bajo (hombres). Se determinó el IMC y la circunferencia de cintura y se realizó una evaluación de la composición corporal: masa grasa, masa muscular, masa ósea, piel y masa residual. Resultados: el 73,5 % de los cantantes presentó exceso de peso, mientras que el 47 % mostró obesidad abdominal. Las cantantes con voz más grave (contraltos) mostraron valores mayores de circunferencia de cintura y grasa corporal que las sopranos y mezzosopranos. Entre los hombres, no se encontraron diferencias en el estado nutricional o la composición corporal asociadas a la tesitura de la voz. Conclusión: los datos muestran una posible relación entre el estado nutricional y la composición corporal con la tesitura de voz en las cantantes, relación que podría ser evaluada en futuros estudios.

Abstract:
Mozart's ability to craft music closely suited to his singers took a remarkable turn with the soprano Adriana Ferrarese del Bene. This singer's career, from sporadic prominence in serious opera to notoriety as a prima donna in Viennese opera buffa in the late 1780s, was capped by her association with Mozart and Da Ponte in Così fan tutte (1790). Certain reports notwithstanding, Ferrarese seems to have been far from a great artist; her successes were modest and she never before or after attained the artistic triumph she achieved in the Mozart–Da Ponte opera. Reviews and contemporary comments suggest that her comic and dramatic skills were uneven, her vocal equipment impressive but incomplete and her performances less than inspiring. Mozart's achievement was to transform a particular set of vocal skills and limitations into something of exceptional artistic value; Fiordiligi was fashioned out of the temperament, vocal style and dramatic abilities – and limitations – of his soprano.

Abstract:
"The Parapraxis in The Bald Soprano: a Successful Speech. This paper is about Parapraxis in the Cantatrice chauve, which Ionesco associates with politics. The unconscious knowledge of the Cantatrice chauve (The Bald Soprano) is the knowledge of comedy and tragedy; it is a form of knowledge which leads man towards an empty word which can no longer be articulated in meaningful speech. The nagging antinomies of common life emerge in the background. There is an endless dialectic that crosses time and history, life and death, joy and pain. There is an unsolved conflict that the Cantatrice chauve holds together, thus repeating the trauma of separation and the breakdown of community ties. The tragedy of language is that you can only live in a subjective way. It is a communication which affirms the absence of communication, opening up the tragicomic horizon of language and disintegrating the power which underlies the language of communication. Keywords: parapraxis, speech, language, communication, knowledge, enigma. "
