Textens kraft till förändring: En studie om hur sångtexten påverkar den musikaliska gestaltningen i körsång.Hellberg, Martin January 2023 (has links)
Som kördirigent börjar man nästan alltid en repetition med att lära körsångarna att sjunga rätt noter, men sångtexten är minst lika viktig. Det kan berätta så mycket mer om styckets helhet än om kören måste börja repetera musiken direkt. Det märks tydligt om en kör har en vilja och förståelse för vad som sjungs oavsett ambitionsnivå. Vad är det då som behövs för att inte sångtexten ska uppfattas som meningslös? Syftet med detta konstnärliga examensarbete var att som kördirigent undersöka och analysera på vilka sätt hanteringen av sångtext påverkar den musikaliska gestaltningen i körsång. Studien utfördes genom intervjuer med fyra sakkunniga informanter och avslutades med två konstnärliga projekt. Resultatet från intervjuerna gav en likhet för både generella och specifika frågor, men alla informanter hade olika åsikter för vilken metod de ansåg var bäst för hur man arbetar med sångtext. Sammanfattningsvis finns det flera unika tillvägagångssätt att tolka en sångtext vilket gör att den musikaliska gestaltningen påverkas mest av den individuella kördirigentens förmåga att förmedla sångtext, både verbalt och icke-verbalt. Hanteringen av sångtext kan även påverkas av yttre faktorer, exempelvis tidsbrist. / <p>Den konstnärliga delen av mitt examensarbete var att leda och dirigera Radiokören och KMH Vokalensemble under två olika projekt. </p><p>Mitt projekt med Radiokören bestod av två repetitioner under två dagar. Första repetitionen skedde den 16/5-23 kl. 09.30-12.30 och den andra repetitionen 17/5-23 kl. 14.00-17.00. Båda repetitionerna ägde rum på studio 2, Sveriges Radio, Oxenstiernsgatan 20, Stockholm. </p><p>Repertoar: Un soir de neige - Francis Poulenc.</p><p>Mitt projekt med KMH vokalensemble bestod av repetitioner samt en avslutande examenskonsert den 25/5-23 kl. 12.30 i Kungasalen på Kungl. Musikhögskolan, Stockholm. I detta examensarbete hör även dokumentation i form av en ljudinspelning från min del av examenskonserten.</p><p>Repertoar: Deus in adjutorium - Benjamin Britten, Laudibus in Sanctis - William Byrd.</p><p>Medverkande: Radiokören, KMH Vokalensemble.</p>

An Analytical Study of the Suite for Violin and Piano (1935), Op. 6, by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)Lee, Hanjun 12 1900 (has links)
The Suite for Violin and Piano, Op. 6 is one of the least-known compositions by Benjamin Britten. It has been considered unfavorably by critics and scholars due to its puzzling mixture of tonal and post-tonal elements. However, this dissertation argues that the suite is composed with a clear tonal framework, and its unique mixed tonal-post-tonal language justifies an in-depth analysis. This analytical study utilizes a linear progression technique - the voice leading produced by passing tones and neighbor notes around focal pitches - to identify tonal areas of the suite.

Previous issue date: 2017-07-31 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / O presente trabalho investiga o estatuto do intérprete de violão. Partindo da hipótese de que o intérprete contribui para a construção de sentido em uma realização musical, constatou-se a insuficiência de um instrumental teórico que possibilitasse a averiguação de sua relevância enquanto instância participativa do fazer musical. A perspectiva de uma abordagem enunciativa mostrou-se oportuna para os propósitos deste trabalho, além de contribuir para a construção de uma cientificidade na área musical. A dissertação foi desenvolvida em quatro capítulos. O primeiro trata das principais designações atribuídas à atividade do intérprete e das consequências teóricas de cada assunção. No segundo, é traçado um paralelo entre linguística e música, apresentando a afinidade de problemáticas presentes em ambas as áreas, ao mesmo tempo em que desenha paulatinamente o panorama enunciativo sobre essas questões. No terceiro, foram apresentados os princípios da teoria enunciativa, basicamente: as categorias de pessoa, tempo e espaço; os mecanismos de instauração dessas categorias no enunciado; além dos conceitos de dialogismo, uso linguístico e contrato veridictório. Foram apontadas algumas possibilidades de transposição desses princípios e sua aplicação mostrou-se, assim, exequível na área musical. Por fim, no quarto capítulo, foram analisados, dentro de uma perspectiva enunciativa, dois enunciados musicais em vídeo de diferentes intérpretes —Paul Galbraith e Kazuhito Yamashita—tocando a mesma obra, Nocturnal op. 70 de Benjamin Britten. Concluiu-se que é possível atribuir um estatuto ao intérprete de violão por meio de uma abordagem enunciativa. As marcas da enunciação no enunciado nos permitiram depreender como se deu a construção de sentido, as estratégias discursivas, a imagem que o enunciador construiu de si mesmo, além da intencionalidade marcada, atribuindo assim um lugar central ao intérprete na construção do sentido musical. / This work investigates the status of the guitar performer. Starting from the hypothesis that the performer contributes to the construction of meaning in a musical performance, we have come across the insufficiency of the theoretical tools to ascertain his/her relevance as a participating instance in music making. The perspective of an enunciative approach has proven to be opportune for the purposes of this investigation, also contributing to the establishment of a more specific perspective in the music field. This Master’s thesis is divided into four chapters. The first one deals with the most prominent designations attributed to the performer’s activity and the theoretical consequences of each assumption. On the second one, a parallel is drawn between linguistics and music, presenting the kinship between the issues in both areas, at the same time progressively sketching an overview of the enunciation aspects related to them. On the third chapter, the principles of the enunciation theory were presented, in short: the categories of person, time, and space; the mechanism for the establishment of these categories on text/speech; as well as the concepts of dialogism, linguistic usage, and veridictory contract. Some possibilities of transposition of these principles were presented and thus their application has proven viable in the music domain. Finally, on the fourth chapter, two performances were analyzed from an enunciative perspective: videos of two different interpreters — Paul Galbraith and Kazuhito Yamashita — playing the same piece, Benjamin Britten’s Nocturnal op. 70. Our investigation and its application to concrete texts led us to conclude that a status can be attributed to the guitar performer through an enunciative approach. The enunciation marks inscribed on the text allowed us to capture the process of the construction of meaning, the discursive strategies, the image that the enunciator created for him/herself, as well as the intentionality outlined on the text, thus assigning a central role to the performer in the construction of musical meaning.

Arvo Pärt and Three Types of His Tintinnabuli TechniqueKongwattananon, Oranit 05 1900 (has links)
Arvo Pärt, an Estonian composer, was born in 1935. Most of the works at the beginning of his career were for piano in the neo-classical style. After that, he turned his interest to serial music and continued creating works with serial techniques throughout the 1960s. After his "self-imposed silence" period (during the years 1968-1976), Pärt emerged with a new musical style, which he called tintinnabuli. Although, this technique was influenced by music from the medieval period, the texture and function of its musical style cannot be described easily in terms of any single musical technique of the past. This study explores the evolution of Arvo Pärt's tintinnabuli technique in its first decade 1976-1985, which is divided into three different types. It provides musical examples from the scores of selected works, Für Alina, Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten, Cantate Domino canticum novum, Missa Sillabica, Stabat Mater and Es sang vor langen Jahren, and their analyses with supporting interpretative sketches. The goal of this thesis is to provide the reader a basis for understanding and recognizing the different types of Pärt's tintinnabuli technique.

A critical edition, with introduction and commentary, of the libretto texts of Montagu Slater and Benjamin Britten's Peter GrimesGreenhalgh, Michael John January 2013 (has links)
A definitive text of the libretto of Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes is here presented. The process by which it was created is revealed in detail. All the extant versions are collated and significant differences between them displayed. For the first time the scenarios written by Britten and his partner Peter Pears and the first surviving draft versions of scenes by the librettist Montagu Slater are published in full. Additions to the draft and final libretto texts and revisions throughout this process by Slater, Britten, producer Eric Crozier and, in the final scene, poet Ronald Duncan, are clarified and a critique provided. Marked differences in stage directions between the libretto texts and music scores are shown and versions selected or created which offer the best indicative detail for performance practice. The edited text is similarly enriched by the inclusion of performance indicators from various sources added by Britten, Pears and the work's first conductor, Reginald Goodall. The edition is introduced by three 'Perspectives' sections which consider (1) Britten's relationship with Slater and working practice with librettists; (2) the relationship of the work to its original source, George Crabbe's poem The Borough, the difference in the portrait and treatment of the character Peter Grimes and the reasons for the difference; and (3) the particular contribution and features of Slater's writing. Thereafter follow an account of the rationale, principles and practice of the edition and introductions to every scene in which the use of source material, the evolution of the text, the plot development and performance issues of the scene, the presentation of characters and the set are delineated, the latter with reference to photographs of the original set hitherto unpublished.

Drama and Characterization in Opera Settings of "A Midsummer Nightʼs Dream" by Britten and SiegmeisterAllen, Debra K. (Debra Kaye) 08 1900 (has links)
Although Shakespeare deliberately downplays characterization in his moonlit dream fantasy, both Britten and Siegmeister exploit this dramatic element as the basis of their opera settings of the play. Through the operas, the shallow characters take on new dimensions, creating musical experiences existing quite independently of Shakespeare, while at the same time retaining the atmosphere of a dream-fantasy. Placing emphases upon varying aspects of the play, the two composers create entirely different revelations from the Bard's dream. This paper presents a study of the way in which drama and characterization are treated in the operas, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Night of the Moonspell.
