From introduction: The decision to use the term "Wind Band" in connection with this work was made after much careful deliberation. The English word "Band" is derived from the French "bande" meaning a group of players. It was first applied in this context in England when the Twenty-four Violins at the Court of Charles II (in emulation of "Le Vingt-quatre Violons du Roi at the Court of Louis XIV of France) were known in England as "The King's Band "Band" is a title generally given at the present time to any of instrumentalists, and indeed, many of the World's most famous conductors have been known to refer to any large symphony orchestra as "The Band" and the dressing-room of every Symphony or Concert orchestra in the British Isles is invariably called "The Band-Room"

O Capítulo 1 expõe uma breve contextualização, dados biográficos do compositor e catálogo de suas peças para violão solo e outras formações. No Capítulo 2, são apresentadas análises musicais das peças escolhidas, ressaltando principalmente aspectos formais, texturais, motívicos, harmônicos e rítmicos. Por fim, o Capítulo 3 apresenta análises de aspectos interpretativos e técnicos, elementos integrantes da concepção interpretativa que se formou a partir das análises prévias e do contato do autor com o repertório. Também neste capítulo são expostos aspectos idiomáticos das obras analisadas, que constatam a estreita relação entre o contexto musical e a concepção técnico-instrumental do compositor / Abstract: This study aimed to build an interpretative conception of representative works for solo guitar by Maurício Orosco (1973-), from a set of analysis from different viewpoints - musical, interpretative, technical and idiomatic. Chapter 1 sets a brief contextualization, the composer's biographical data and catalogs of his pieces for solo guitar and other formations. At Chapter 2, there are presented musical analysis of the selected pieces, mainly emphasizing formal, textural, motivic, harmonic and rhythmic aspects. Finally, Chapter 3 presents analysis of interpretative and technical aspects, integral elements of the work's interpretative conception built from the previous analysis and the author's contact with the repertoire.

O trabalho estuda possibilidades expressivas do canto e sua relação com a pedagogia da voz. O eixo que direciona o trabalho é a constituição da pesquisadora enquanto cantora e professora de canto e a (im)possível relação dialógica entre essas duas posições. Partindo de uma retrospectiva das referencias musicais da pesquisadora, a discussão do arcabouço bibliográfico e teórico contrapõe-se à problematização empreendida no segundo capítulo quanto à performance. Desse modo, intenta-se ressaltar os efeitos do entendimento da performance sob a perspectiva conceitual de Zumthor, o que resultou na ressignificação da experiência da pesquisadora como cantora e professora. A vivência da preparação vocal de um grupo de 11 cantores indicia tais efeitos. As considerações que fecham o trabalho partem da certeza de que não há respostas prontas, porém reelaboram algumas das idéias que podem permitir uma continuidade nas investigações, apontando para a indissociabilidade entre corpo e voz / Abstract: The present dissertation investigates the singer's body on stage. The work studies expressive possibilities in singing, and their connection with vocal pedagogy. The axis which orients the work is the researcher's constitution as a singer and teacher, and the (im)possible dialogical relationship between these two. Starting from a retrospective of the researcher's musical references, the discussion of the theoretical and bibliographic structures are collated with the performance as problematized in the second chapter. Thus, this study intends to stress an understanding of performance according to Zumthor's perspective, which resulted in a re-signification of the researcher's experience as a singer and teacher. An experience with the vocal coaching of a group of 11 singers, indicate such effects. The final considerations which close the work, though implying there are no ready answers, elaborate some ideas which might allow continuity for this research, pointing to the indivisibility between body and voice / Mestrado / Artes Cenicas / Mestra em Artes

Tendo tomado por base a diversidade de materiais, procedimentos e noções expostas e discutidas na obra teórica do compositor em questão, apresentamos aqui análises das seguintes peças suas: "Danse de la fureur, pour les sept trompettes" e "Liturgie de cristal" (1941); Neumes rythmiques (1949); "Yamanaka-cadenza" (1962) e La Fauvette des jardins (1970). Concluímos, por fim, que Messiaen emprega seu repertório técnico concernente à rítmica de maneira altamente contextual, de modo que decisões composicionais não previstas em seus procedimentos e nem sempre dadas no domínio da rítmica, propriamente, são cruciais para os resultados rítmicos obtidos pelo compositor / Abstract: This dissertation aims at observing, in the singular contexts of different pieces by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), the specific employment of his technical repertoire concerning the rhythmical domain and the articulation of such repertoire with other compositional aspects of the pieces studied (e. g. pitch management and formal constitution). Having taken as a base the diversity of materials, procedures and concepts exposed and discussed in Messiaen's theoretical work, analysis of the following of his works are here presented: "Danse de la fureur, pour les sept trompettes" and "Liturgie de cristal" (1941); Neumes rythmiques (1949); "Yamanaka-cadenza" (1962) and La Fauvette des jardins (1970). By the end of this dissertation, we will have verified that Messiaen employs his technical repertoire concerning the rhythmical domain in a highly contextual manner, in such a way that compositional decisions which were unforeseen in his procedures and not always immediately related to the rhythmic domain are crucial to the rhythmical results obtained by the composer / Mestrado / Processos Criativos / Mestre em Música

The phenomena that we collectively refer to as “play” form a significant part of life at numerous levels. According to the play scholar, Johan Huizinga, play has not only been part of all human societies, it is also at the root of the development of numerous cultural activities, including structured games and sports, certain judicial and legal activities, war, and numerous forms of art. Despite its importance, play, with its various manifestations, is often relegated to being a children’s activity or an occasion of pure waste, and is a surprisingly marginalized topic in academic scholarship. In part to remedy this deficit, my aim in this thesis is to explore the comparatively new phenomenon of video games as a particular form of play. While there are undoubtedly many philosophical approaches that can respond to different aspects of the “problem” of video games, I propose that Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s philosophy of “difference” and “becoming” is particularly useful. On the one hand, Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy provides a viable framework through which to determine the limitations of the current prominent theories in the field of video game studies, which include “narratology”, “ludology”, and the more recent “hybrid approach”. On the other hand, their philosophy enables one to extend the creative and transformative potential that is inherent to a philosophical “problem”, in this case the “problem” of video games. By adapting selected Deleuzian and Deleuzoguattarian philosophical concepts, including “assemblage”, “percept”, “affect”, “transversal becoming”, and “becoming-imperceptible”, I aim to establish a philosophical framework through which different forms of play, and different video games, can be analyzed in terms of their capacity to generate “difference” and “becoming”. More specifically, I argue that video games can be understood as particular kinds of “play assemblages” that can potentially open the player to “transversal becomings”. The video games that I analyze as play assemblages that can generate “transversal becomings” are Thatgamecompany’s Flower (2009) and Journey (2012). Importantly, “transversal becomings”, understood in this instance as the “becoming-other” of human individuals, have the potential to contribute to the individual’s capacity for creative thought and action. Therefore, I argue that video games, far from being activities of pure waste, can potentially open the player to various forms of “becoming-other”, which can, in turn, increase the player’s capacity to think differently, to become different and to create differences. Ultimately, I aim to promote the value of play and video games on the one hand, and the value of Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy on the other hand, for the aim of extending the questioning power of life, and increasing our capacity to effectively respond to a continuously changing world of problems.

The thesis presents annotated transcriptions and detailed analyses of four improvised solos by jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman, a leading figure within the free jazz movement. The four solos, all of which were recorded in 1959, are: "Ramblin', " "Lonely Woman," "Congeniality," and "Free." -The focus of the analyses is upon Coleman's techniques for creating melodic continuity and development. Introductory chapters survey Coleman's career and examine his original theoretical system, "Harmolodics. " The thesis concludes with an annotated bibliography and discography.
