Para tal, desenvolvemos uma distinção de abordagens composicionais na música do Século XX, e também estudamos o mecanismo de construção de escalas adotando, principalmente, o estudo da Psicoacústica (i.e. Modelo de Dissonância Sensorial), que propiciou o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta computacional tanto de análise de sons e Sistemas de Afinação, quanto de criação sonora. Os estudos serviram de base para o desenvolvimento de Processos Criativos com comentários de acordo com os objetivos de pesquisa / Abstract: On the present research, Tuning Systems were studied in order to investigate its application in Creative Processes. For such, we created a distinction of compositional approaches in the music of the 20th Century, and we also studied mechanisms of scale development by mainly adopting Psychoacoustics (i.e. Roughness Model), which enabled the development of a computational tool for the analysis of sounds and Tuning Systems, as well as musical creation. The studies have been applied in Creative Processes with comments and discussions over the research¿s objectives / Mestrado / Mestre em Música

Santos dedicou boa parte de seu tempo confeccionando e produzindo trilhas cinematográficas, sendo essas produções seus primeiros trabalhos de grande impacto lançados no Brasil, serão analisadas sob aspectos composicionais as seguintes películas: Seara Vermelha (1964), de Alberto d'Aversa (1920-1969); O Santo Módico (1964), de Sacha Gordine (1910-1968) e Robert Mazoyer (1929-1999); Ganga Zumba (1964) e A Grande Cidade (1966), de Carlos Diegues (1940-); Os Fuzis (1964), de Ruy Guerra (1931-); e O Beijo (1964), de Flávio Tambellini (1925-1976). Tais trilhas apontam todo um direcionamento estético seguido por Moacir ao longo de sua carreira, sem contar as inúmeras melodias e temas nascidos por essa época e que iriam figurar em grande parte de sua produção de música instrumental e de canção lançadas posteriormente. Sendo assim, poderemos compreender de maneira mais completa a dimensão total de sua obra composicional, estudando e percebendo como suas referências imagéticas assimiladas dos filmes refletiram em seus processos composicionais / Abstract: This project aims to discuss the compositional processes used by Moacir Santos (1926-2006) in the conception of his work from the various film scorings that he composed, mostly in the sixties. Santos devoted much of his time composing and producing film scorings, and these productions are his first major impact works launched in Brazil, the following films will be analyzed under those compositional aspects: Seara Vermelha (1964), by Alberto d'Aversa (1920-1969); O Santo Módico (1964), by Sacha Gordine (1910-1968) and Robert Mazoyer (1929-1999); Ganga Zumba (1964) and A Grande Cidade, by Carlos Diegues (1940-); Os Fuzis (1964), by Ruy Guerra (1931-); and O Beijo (1964) by Flávio Tambellini (1925-1976). These scores show an entire aesthetic direction followed by Moacir throughout his career, and the countless themes and melodies "born" at this time and that would appear in most of his instrumental music and songs released after that. Thus, we can understand better the full scope of his compositional work, studying and realizing how the imagetic references assimilated in the films reflected his compositional process / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestre em Música

O intuito é evidenciar quais ferramentas foram necessárias ao compositor para que fosse possível aplicar seus conceitos musicais sobre o repertório percussivo. Para tanto a atual pesquisa foi conduzida sobre a análise de sua primeira obra composta exclusivamente para percussão, Persephassa, de 1969. Antes de abordar tal composição é traçado um percurso sobre as composições e formalizações musicais realizadas pelo compositor até então, portanto o foco é direcionado sobre as décadas de 50 e 60. Período esse na qual Xenakis iniciou sua pesquisa sobre a aplicação de sistemas e processos indeterministas na estruturação musical, o que foi chamado de música estocástica. Assim como também são expostos seus conceitos elaborados dentro da música simbólica. Ao longo de sua carreira Xenakis seguiu com novas formalizações e propostas sobre o pensamento da linguagem musical. Ao comparar os métodos e técnicas composicionais aplicadas em Persephassa, com os processos elaborados pelo compositor ao longo das décadas de 50 e 60, ramificações de suas formalizações prévias são encontrados nos processos composicionais elaborados para lidar com a escrita para percussão. A pesquisa aqui apresentada visa expor as influências de seus processos elaborados e formalizados durante o período que antecede a composição de Persephassa, na composição da mesma / Abstract: This dissertation intends to expose the writing and compositional thought over the percussion repertoire of Iannis Xenakis. It intends to clarify which tools where necessary to the composer so it could be made possible to apply his musical concepts over the percussion repertoire. The presente research was conducted over the analysis of his first work written exclusively for percussion, Persephassa, from 1969. Before approaching such composition, the path that precedes it is exposed under the perspective of the composer previous works and his musical formalizations, thus the focus is directed over the 50's and the 60's. Period in which Xenakis began his research on the application of indeterministic systems and processes applied in music structures, what was called stochastic music. As also his concepts on symbolic music are exposed. Over his career Xenakis proposed new formalizations and approaches over the musical language. Comparing the methods and techniques applied in Persephassa, with the processes developed by the composer during the decades of the 50' and the 60's, ramifications of his previous formalizations are found on the compositional processes developed for composing his percussion music. The research here presented intends to expose the influences of his previous processes developed and formalized during the period that proceeds the composition of Persephassa, over its own composition / Mestrado / Processos Criativos / Mestre em Música

Na primeira parte são discutidas algumas das abordagens teóricas acerca deste conceito, enfatizando-se as concepções relacionadas à semiótica peirceana e a determinados autores da filosofia da linguagem. Neste ponto, o objetivo é observar de que maneira a metáfora pode ser compreendida como operação semiótica de significação, que pode ser estendida a sistemas semióticos outros, para além da linguagem verbal. Na segunda parte da pesquisa, procura-se observar as implicações desta operação metafórica para a compreensão de processos de criação musical, notadamente relacionadas a praticas composicionais do século XX. Para tanto, são analisados aspectos dos processos criativos na música eletroacústica de Luc Ferrari - particularmente relacionados à questão da referencialidade na música acusmática; e na música instrumental de Tristan Murail - enfatizando-se a exploração de modelos na música espectral / Abstract: This works proposes the study of twentieth century music compositional processes in the light of the semiotic concept of metaphor. In the first part, some theoretical approaches on metaphor are discussed, notably the conceptions related to peircean semiotics and to some authors of philosophy of language. In this point, the objective is to observe how metaphor can be understood as a semiotic operation of meaning, which can be extended to different semiotic systems, beyond verbal language. In the second part of the research, we intend to observe the implications of metaphoric operation within processes of twentieth century compositional practices. Therefore, some aspects of the creative processes are analyzed; first in the electroacoustic music of Luc Ferrari (1929 - 2005) - mainly those related to the question of reference in acousmatic music; and also in the instrumental music of Tristan Murail - emphasizing the exploration of models in spectral music / Mestrado / Processos Criativos / Mestre em Música

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

Étude sur la collaboration et la participation active d’un saxophoniste-chercheur avec plusieurs compositeurs dans la création musicale mixte. Les musiques mixtes combinent un performeur jouant d’un instrument acoustique qui interagit avec des outils électroniques et informatiques, se faisant entendre par des hauts-parleurs. Nous comprenons la participation comme des multiples échanges humains intégrant l’écoute, l’instrument acoustique, l’électronique et les dernières technologies numériques dans la musique. Notre méthodologie s’est nourrie des sciences cognitives, de la systémique, de la recherche-action intégrale et systémique, de la cybernétique de second ordre, de l’opérationnel et de l’émergence contextuelle. Notre démarche propose une réflexion autour de quelques bouleversements de l’écoute musicale au XXe siècle et l’étude des musiques mixtes contemporaines sous le biais de l’approche multi-échelle. Nous faisons partie de notre objet d’étude tout en le modifiant dans un processus dynamique. Quelles connaissances musicales émergent de ces échanges de compétences et peuvent en être élargies grâce à cette rétroaction (feedback) multiple, en boucle créative ? Ces questions, avec nos sources de première main et l’inclusion du compositeur en tant qu’interprète ont fait émerger notre concept d’interprétation musicale participative. Nous proposons que l’analyse de nos propres collaborations peut apporter une connaissance originale sur les pièces musicales mixtes en question et développer une sorte de plasticité dans le faire musical. Comme démonstration, des morceaux ont été créées pendant nos recherches et sont analysées sous cette approche. / This research is about the collaboration of a saxophonist-researcher with several composers in electro acoustic music with saxophones. Mixed music combines a performer playing acoustic instruments (traditional or not) interacting with digital and electronics means of all sort of operations, time scales and technical configurations, diffused by loudspeakers. We understand participation in our case as human exchanges in musical digital environments, and as the creation of new links that didn’t exist before. Our research proposes a reflection on listening approaches through the XXst century and studying mixed music through the multi scale approach. The saxophonist gives a contribution, that enhance a creative perspective for each musical piece that influence the composers’ work. Which techniques and which musical knowledge can be exchanged and enlarged thanks to this multiple feedback ? The work on first sources, the competence exchanges between musicians during the many steps of their process of collaborative work construct what we call participatory interpretation in new music. In some aspects we get close to the integral and systemic action-research, since we take part in our study objet, and we modify it in a dynamic process. We propose that the analysis of the musical pieces from our collaborations can bring forth an original knowledge about them and enhance musical creativity. Participatory interpretation optimizes the musical results and explore new mixed “composable” spaces. As a demonstration, some pieces are though analyzed under this participatory perspective. Our research leads to a conclusion towards the idea of plasticity in music making.

This paper uses the concept of mimesis to clarify the debate concerning the representation of reality in music. Specifically, this study defines the audio reality effect and the three main practices of realism as a way of understanding mimetic practices in multiple artistic media, in particular regarding the multimedia works of the "Landscape series." After addressing the historical debates concerning mimesis, this study develops a framework for the understanding of mimesis in sound by addressing the writings of Weiss, Baudrillard, Barthes, Deleuze, and Prendergast and by examining mimetic practices in 19th-century European painting and multimedia performance works. The audio reality effect is proposed as a meaningful translation of Roland Barthes' literary reality effect to the sonic realm. The main trends of realist practice are applied to electroacoustic music and soundscape composition using the works and writings of Emmerson, Truax, Wishart, Risset, Riddell, Smalley, Murray Schafer, Fischman, Young, and Field. Lastly, this study mimetically analyzes "2 seconds / b minor / wave" by Michael Pisaro and Taku Sugimoto and the works of the "Landscape series" in order to demonstrate the relevance of mimesis for understanding current musical practice.

In comparing oratorio traits across history, three aspects of oratorio were found to be particularly applicable to the creation of "Deborah: A Chamber Oratorio in One Act." These aspects were: the selection of topic and the creation or adaptation of text; the differences between recitative and aria, in form and function; and the level of stylistic diversity within a given work.

The composition 161 Glass is a 17-minute musical work with percussion, wind and brass instruments in which the intersection of mid-century architecture, and the art and culture of a dynamic city are inextricably linked. Through this paper, I explore the process of composing a musical work in relationship to the significance of site specific context. The paper begins by defining the concept of site specific art works; then reviews the discourse of the intersection of art, music and architecture. I then delve into the cultural and geographic context surrounding this project from the modern era through the present, and how those perspectives apply to the building and my piece. I reveal how the composition relates the musical ideas to the site. Finally, I describe the collaborative process between myself, the musicians and the Dallas Contemporary staff.

The repertoire for trombone and percussion has grown in popularity since the later 1980s. There are currently more than 110 pieces written for the ensemble. This project follows the commissioning and collaboration of Dr. Blake Tyson, Professor of Percussion at the University of Central Arkansas and well known percussion composer, in the creation of a new piece for trombone and percussion. The project also created a survey of works for trombone and percussion duet that includes 32 works. The survey includes details such as specific percussion instrumentation range, tessitura, grade level, publisher, and a description of each piece.
