Este trabalho se destina a investigar a técnica de composição conhecida como Gráfico para Fixar a Melodia das Montanhas do Brasil, utilizada pelo compositor Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) nas peças orquestrais: New York Sky-Line Melody (1939) e Sinfonia No. 6 - sobre as linhas das montanhas (1944). A hipótese lançada é de que a referida técnica não se sustenta enquanto método que responda integralmente pela construção do discurso musical de tais obras, mas simplesmente como procedimento utilizado para a elaboração de seus principais temas. / The aim of this work is to analyze the compositional technique known as Gráfico para Fixar a Melodia das Montanhas do Brasil,[where composers translate physical shapes to musical parameters, or millimetrization] used by the composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) for New York Sky-Line Melody (1939) and Symphony No. 6 - sobre as linhas das montanhas (1944).The launched hypothesis is that this technique cannot be sustained as a method that addresses the full construction of the musical discourse of such works, but simply as a procedure used for the preparation of its main themes.

São Jerônimo was constructed from a series of documents, readings, paintings, thesis that traverse between fascination for iconography linked to the saint and the immanence of the film construction. A process of translation of the process of translating. The focus of this research is the time. The time that arises from the emancipation of the movement through light and sound time in the cinematographic image and drama. This paper was based theoretically in two works by Gilles Deleuze The image-movement and The image-time. The study of the concept image-time time emancipated from movement as the original regime of imagine and sign of the modern cinema, made it possible for us to see, hear and feel the time in São Jerônimo. We also studied the Peircian semiotics, the principles of the filmic analysis, the role of the sound in the cinema, the theoretical production of Brazilian researchers on critique of movies and unpublished works about photography in the creation of films.The method used to do the reading of the film involved three stages: in the first we studied the qualities, the shapes, the codes and their materialization in the composition of the audio-visual images, observing the framing, decoupage, the movement of the camera, the montage and materialization of the rhythmical ideas and their interactions; in the second stage we investigated the audiovisual images as aesthetical objects through the image-time concept; in the third stage we analyised the disjunction between the visual and audio images of the movie.The analysis of São Jerônimo made us to come to the following conclusion: its images immobilized the visual and sound aspects. The sound tries to take the film out of the visual field framed in the screen, in a centrifugal movement, but it detains itself in several deviations, tending to the purity of sound, while the visual aspect rapidly drags us to territories of excess or shortage of light the desert and Rome in a centripetal movement that leads, however, to disconnected and decentralized places, resisting to the photo grams and the images in movement. São Jerônimo, design of a moving material that cuts the cinematographic plan and rearrange the cuts that present the time. Jerônimo, Bressane and Deleuze s intercessor / Esse trabalho destina-se a estudar a técnica composicional no cinema, pesquisando a técnica de criação do filme São Jerônimo, de Júlio Bressane, segundo um desenho do tempo. São Jerônimo foi construído a partir de uma série de documentos, leituras, pinturas, teses que transitam entre o fascínio pela iconografia ligada ao santo e a imanência do filme sendo realizado. Um processo de tradução do processo de traduzir. O foco dessa pesquisa é o tempo. O tempo que nasce da emancipação do movimento pela luz e pelo som. O tempo na imagem e no drama cinematográficos. Esse estudo orientou-se pelas obras A imagem-movimento e A imagem-tempo, de Gilles Deleuze. O estudo do conceito imagem-tempo, tempo emancipado do movimento, como o regime original das imagens e signos da modernidade do cinema, possibilitou-nos pensar as técnicas de ver, ouvir e sentir o tempo em São Jerônimo. Ancorando a pesquisa, estudamos a semiótica Peirciana, os fundamentos da análise fílmica, o papel do som no cinema, a produção teórica de pesquisadores brasileiros sobre análise e crítica de filmes, e trabalhos inéditos sobre a fotografia na criação de filmes. A análise da técnica de luteria do filme compreendeu três etapas: na primeira estudamos as qualidades, as formas, os códigos e suas materializações nas composições das imagens audiovisuais, observando os enquadramentos, as decupagens, os movimentos de câmera, as montagens e as materializações de idéias rítmicas e suas interações; na segunda etapa investigamos as imagens audiovisuais como objetos estéticos através do conceito imagem-tempo; e na terceira etapa estudamos a disjunção entre as imagens visuais e sonoras do filme. A análise de São Jerônimo nos conduziu a uma constatação: suas imagens imobilizam o visual e o sonoro. O sonoro ensaia levar o filme para fora do campo visual enquadrado na tela, num movimento centrífugo, mas se detém em diversos desvios, tendendo à pureza do próprio som; e o visual se apressa a tragar-nos para territórios fundados pelo excesso ou escassez de luz, o deserto e Roma, num movimento centrípeto, todavia para lugares desconexos e sem centros, resistindo aos fotogramas e às imagens em movimento. São Jerônimo, desenho de uma matéria movente a cortar os planos e re-encadeando os cortes a nos apresentar o tempo. Jerônimo intercessor de Bressane e de Deleuze

The Peabody Conservatory commissioned Estudios De Frontera by Alejandro Viñao in 2004. Percussionist Robert Van Sice initiated the commissioning process. Estudios De Frontera is the first composition for percussion ensemble by Viñao. Viñao's Estudios is written in two movements. The first is titled Homage to Nancarrow. As the title implies the compositional processes are directly influenced by Conlon Nancarrow. The composer states: "Homage to Nancarrow is concerned with the perceptual illusion of multiple simultaneous speeds or tempi....This movement explores the type of rhythms that create the illusion that multiple independent tempi are being heard while remaining playable by musicians." The purpose of this document is to provide a rhythmic analysis describing the techniques used by Chopin, Ligeti, and Nancarrow, and demonstrating their manifestation in the first movement of Alejandro Viñao's Estudios de Frontera. The analysis provides detailed information in regards to Nancarrow's rhythmic structures including: ostinato, hemiola, isorhythm, accelerations, and implied poly-tempo. Additionally, by seeking advice from notable performers and ensembles, the areas of greatest concern are identified, and strategies towards rehearsal and performance are recommended. The performance guide is included as an appendix to the analytic body of the paper.

The dissertation focuses on the early piano sonatas of Russian composer Nikolai Karlovich Medtner (1880–1951). It approaches them in the context of genre history, confronts them with other composers' works, and discusses them from various analytic perspectives. A special goal is to consider the pieces in the aesthetic environment of their time, and to regard them as peculiar instances of the ›sonata principle‹, an ageless conception of musical form. The study is subdivided in three large parts, the first of which presents a summary of sonata composition before Medtner, exploring lines of tradition in Western Europe and Russia. The second part concentrates on Medtner’s musical language and its stylistic features. The third and most comprehensive part provides detailed examinations of eight of Medtner’s piano sonatas, including aspects of their genesis and reception, and making use of recent methods of musical analysis. / Die Dissertation widmet sich den frühen Klaviersonaten des russischen Komponisten Nikolaj Karlovič Metner (1880–1951), die im Kontext ihrer Gattungsgeschichte und im Vergleich mit Musik anderer Urheber betrachtet werden. Ein Hauptanliegen der multiperspektivischen Analysen ist es, den Werkkorpus in ästhetische Kontexte der Entstehungszeit einzubetten und die Einzelwerke als Spezialfälle des ›Sonatenprinzips‹, eines zeitlosen Formkonzepts, darzustellen. Die Studie gliedert sich in drei Sektionen, deren erste die Entwicklungen des Sonatenkomponierens vor Metner zusammenfasst und Traditionslinien in Westeuropa und Russland nachzeichnet. Der zweite Teil ist eine Darstellung der Tonsprache Metners und ihrer stilistischen Merkmale. Der dritte und umfangreichste Teil präsentiert Detailanalysen von acht Klaviersonaten Metners und untersucht die Notentexte mit Hilfe aktueller Analysemethoden.

Das Credo aus Johann Nepomuk Davids Deutsche Messe von 1952 wird mit Blick auf das musikalische Handwerkszeug untersucht. Die Analyse zeigt einen abgezirkelten Bau der Komposition. Kontrapunktische Regeln halten David fest in einer als bindungslos empfundenen Zeit. Aus der Sicht eines „Enkelschülers“ Davids wird dies reflektiert als Fesselung einer Generation: Den Geburtsjahrgängen um 1900 wurde eine wesentliche kreative Lebensphase durch Diktatur und Krieg genommen. Die Besinnung auf alte Techniken aber wird zu einem Gefängnis der Kunstfertigkeit. Der kundige Musiktheoretiker David behindert den Komponisten David. / Das Credo from the Deutsche Messe of Johann Nepomuk David is scrutinized with regard to his compositional technique. The analysis reveals a calculated musical structure. The conventions of counterpoint trap David in a time seemingly unbound. From the view of one of David’s 'student’s students' this is expressed as a bondage of a generation: those born around 1900 were robbed of a significant part of their creative lives due to dictatorship and war. But his concentration on traditional techniques imprisoned him within his own workmanship. David’s theoretical expertise thus hinders David’s compositional ability.
