This research is an analysis of the range of skills and knowledge required to produce, effectively, results in the Art of Lyric Improvisation in the field of jazz singing. Lyric Improvisation is the art of retaining the primary lyrics of a song but, using improvisational inventiveness, changing every other aspect. The study focuses on the manipulation of melody, rhythm, time feel, style, range, articulation and improvisation in the performances of renowned jazz vocalists Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae. The research is based on their multiple recordings of "Sometimes I'm Happy" (Youmans/Caesar) between the years1955-1965. The method compares different elements of the individual singers' improvisations to the published notation. These elements include: syncopation of the rhythm, motific development, expanding the range of pitch, variances in timbre and articulation and spontaneous re-composition of the melody all while maintaining the original lyric. The outcomes, however, can be applied over a multitude of tunes from any American Song Book composer or jazz standard sung in historically swing styles of the past century, or with contemporary developments.

Since its publication in 1845, Prosper Mérimée’s Carmen has been adapted many times for stage and screen. This essay focuses on the novella, Bizet’s 1875 opera, Saura’s 1983 film and Paul Van Haver’s (known by his stage name Stromae) music video. Already the novella describes Carmen’s exotic aura as a strong, enigmatic presence in her laughter, singing, dancing, magic spells, and strange Gypsy dialect–qualities of otherness that Bizet effected musically in his opera. I propose a Jungian approach to Carmen (José’s anima tainted by his anxious desires) and in particular to her voice in order to explain archetypical aspects of her character in two musical numbers that would henceforth become her signature tunes: the Habanera and the Seguidilla. Both numbers are characterized by juxtapositions of transgressive chromaticism and plain diatonic, triadic tonality. Carmen’s voice, both as an object of desire and as a source of perilous power, is essential to her character and persists in Saura’s choreographic “backstage” Carmen (1983). Here, a peculiar ensemble of onscreen tape recording, diegetic humming, and metadiegetic daydreaming recalls Carmen’s vocal presence as surrogate voices of an avowedly inexperienced singer. While in Stromae’s music video, Habanera’s rebellious love-bird is transformed to Twitter’s blue bird, sitting on the shoulder of the user, casting its shadow on their life. The habanera is performed by the male-singer tuned with a rhythmic rap beat and its emblematic lyrics takes the aria into another level. In conclusion, I argue that different versions of Carmen retain and problematize her voice in spite, or rather because, of stark differences of their aural and visual settings as the ontologically ambiguous centerpiece of her character.

En esta tesis tratamos la incorporación de objetos en los cuadros. Para analizar las características de este procedimiento pictórico hemos enfocado nuestro análisis hacia la obra pictórica de Carmen Calvo, pintora valenciana con reconocimiento internacional. El estudio lo hemos dividido en cuatro apartados: El primero es una presentación de antecedentes históricos, así como de algunos autores en concreto, que por el modo de utilizarlos, hemos considerado interesante compararlos con la forma de hacer de Carmen Calvo, extrayendo así cuál es su aportación a la pintura mediante la utilización de este recurso. En el segundo apartado, realizamos un análisis de la obra de esta pintora, que está vertebrado en tres periodos: Representación y Abstracción; Presentación del objeto Representación. El tercer apartado está dedicado al análisis retórico de la utilización del objeto en la obra de Carmen Calvo. Finalmente analizamos su obre desde la empatía, la memoria y la microhistoria para poder extraer significados de sus cuadros. La tesis incluye una entrevista con Carmen Calvo como aporte documental, y una catalogación de 375 de sus cuadros, presentados en soporte informático como documento adjunto / Cucala Félix, A. (2005).
