This investigation examines the evolution of harmonic practice in the guitar misic of the Mexican composer, Manuel M. Ponce (1882-1948). Ponces harmonic practice evolved from a simple romantic style influenced by Mexican folksong to a more complex idiom influenced by Impressionistic harmony. This study explores the change in Ponce t s harmonic practice in two ways. First, general features of Ponce's harmonic vocabulary are surveyed in excerpts from various guitar works written over a twenty year period. Second, a work from Ponce's mature style--Theme Varie et Finale-is examined in detail. Chapter III gives a survey of harmonic materials in this work, while Chapter IV reveals aspects of its structural coherence.

Several late eighteenth-century keyboard composers indicated that some of their works were written specifically for the clavichord, as opposed to the harpsichord or pianoforte. This demand was indicated by a composer's commentary, remarks made by a contemporary, or by Bebung and Tragen der Tone indications in the music. The thesis examines selected works of C.P.E. Bach, Johann Eckard, Nathanael Gruner, Johann Hassler, Christian Neefe, F.S. Sander, and Daniel Tt*rk, and discusses elements of the music that seem particularly suited to clavichord performance. These elements are Bebung, Tragen der TOne, finely nuanced dynamic indications, certain types of melodic writing, and a thin textural composition.

This dissertation provides insight into the compositional characteristics of Paul Lansky's instrumental works as demonstrated in Hop (1993). As well, this document intends to make Hop more approachable to performers through a structural, harmonic, and rhythmic analysis. This dissertation presents a brief overview of Lansky's biographical information, discusses background information about Marimolin (the ensemble that premiered the piece), and provides an analysis of Hop. Hop is analyzed with regard to form, harmony, and rhythm. The analysis was conducted through a tonal approach, and harmonies are identified with a lead sheet analysis. Personal interviews with Paul Lansky and marimbist Nancy Zeltsman provided significant insight into Lansky's influences, musical characteristics, as well as other elements pertaining to Hop.

The impact of training on virtual team effectiveness was assessed in five areas: communication, planning tasks and setting goals, solving problems and making decisions, resolving conflict, and responding to customer requirements. A 12-page survey was developed exploring all aspects of virtual teams. 180 surveys were distributed, 52 were returned representing 43 companies. Training led to higher effectiveness in planning tasks and setting goals, solving problems and making decisions, and conflict resolution, but not in communication and responding to customer requirements. Training may not solve all the problems that virtual teams will encounter; however, training will make the challenges easier to handle.

Orientadora: Lúcia Helena Oliveira Silva / Banca: Maria de Fátima Cunha / Banca: Wilton Carlos Lima da Silva / Resumo: Nesse trabalho analisaremos a atuação de duas cantoras e compositoras de grande talento no cenário musical, antes monopolizado pelos homens, Dolores Duran e Maysa, ambas com uma linguagem poética na qual o amor era comumente retratado enquanto fossa, ilusão e dor em canções que, cheias de sentimentos e emoções, expressavam o sentimento de perda, as desesperanças, os desencontros e a solidão, ou seja, o sentimento real de seus amores. As letras aqui analisadas são entendidas como expressão de vivências pessoais e das percepções das duas compositoras, das tensões e possibilidades de uma nova forma de feminilidade no período retratado, no qual as mulheres puderam ultrapassar as limitações de seu papel social circunscrito ao espaço doméstico e à submissão. Iremos abordar, através das letras das compositoras, o tema do amor e dor, as relações amorosas, na visão feminina, pouco divulgado na época, pois a maioria das canções eram compostas por homens. Assim, apontaremos uma desnaturalização do papel da mulher vigente no período. Também iremos abordar às intensas transformações econômicas, culturais e sociais ocorridas na década de 1950, que é reconhecida como "Anos Dourados". Houve uma sucessiva mudança de hábitos, pois as cidades começaram a crescer, tanto territorial como populacionalmente, em um processo crescente de "modernização" através da popularização do cinema norteamericano e da entrada da televisão. Iremos discutir como a mulher está vivenciando as mudanças do período, tanto na economia como na sociedade e também pensar como a mulher tem sido retratada nos meios midiáticos (revista, rádio e a musica), a partir de duas matrizes (a mulher do lar e a leviana) e como certos produtos refletiam essa dicotomia / Abstract: In this paper we will analyze the performance of two great female singers and composers in the musical scene, previously monopolized by the men, Dolores Duran and Maysa, both with a poetic language in which the love was normally portrayed as depression, illusion and pain in songs that, full of feelings and emotions, expressed the feeling of loss, hopelessness, mismatch and loneliness, that is, the real feeling of their loves. Here, the lyrics analyzed are understood as expressions of personal experiences and perceptions of the two female composers, from the tensions and possibilities of a new form of femininity in the portrayed period where the women were able to overcome the limitations of their social role limited to domestic space and submission. We will discuss, through the lyrics of the composers, the themes of love and pain, love relationships, in the feminine view, little publicized at the season, because most of the songs were composed by men. Thus, we will point out a denaturation of the role of women in the period under consideration. We will also address the intense economic, cultural, and social transformations that occurred in the 1950s, known as "Golden Years". There was a successive change in habits because the cities began to grow, both territorially and populationally, in a growing process of "modernization" through the popularization of American cinema and television entry. We will discuss how the woman is experiencing the changes of the period, both in the economy and in society, and also to think about how women have been portrayed in the media (magazine, radio and music), from two matrices (the home woman and the reckless woman) and how especific products reflected this dichotomy / Mestre

Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston's legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston's playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston's career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston's playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston's ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers' inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing. Much of this repertoire remains unexplored and unrecorded yet is suitable for intermediate to advanced level clarinet players.

This thesis presents a study of Andrejs Jurjāns' significant symphonic works as informed by a native musicologist, Professor Jānis Torgāns, and illuminates Jurjāns' role within the cosmopolitan framework of nationalism in music.

Through studying the poetry and its context, the lives of the poets and composers, and the musical choices which emerged from these combined influences, students of the "Millennial" generation may experience a deeper connection to art song and its role in defining and reflecting national character. Not yet a part of the traditional canon of American art song, the songs of African-American composers are of particular value in this regard, offering teachers, students, and recitalists less frequently-performed repertoire to explore. Representing a broad spectrum of literary and cultural influences, these songs are just as diverse, multi-faceted, and full of variety as any other body of art song repertoire and richly contribute to the past and present life of the genre. Going beyond the music and the words can only reinforce the study of technique and enrich the studio experience, while at the same time providing a multicultural learning environment which more accurately reflects the America in which these same students will become the singers and voice teachers of tomorrow.
