The Choral Music of Ola Gjeilo: a New Vision of the Choral Instrument in the 21St CenturySchmidt, Brian A., 1980- 05 1900 (has links)
The choral music of Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo (pronounced “yay-loh”) is gaining international acclaim and is widely performed and commissioned by prominent high school, university, and professional choirs. It represents a philosophical approach and vision of the choral instrument for which the conductor must have a clear understanding in order to prepare a meaningful performance. in particular, his music merges diverse musical influences, which results in a product of unique character among choral compositions in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Gjeilo draws inspiration from a text but then uses its sonic qualities (the sounds of vowels and consonants) to create an atmosphere of sound instead of following the traditions in choral and vocal music of using musical mechanisms (melody, rhythm, and harmony) to reinforce the text poetically. This study provides an overview of Gjeilo’s background, in Chapter 1, and discusses its influence on his compositional philosophy. Chapter 2 contains musical examples from selected works, which are used to illuminate unique attributes found in Gjeilo’s music. Chapter 3 presents important implications to consider aiding choral conductors in their preparation of future performances of Gjeilo’s music.

Infraded Surface Plasmon Polaritons On Semiconductor, Semimetal And Conducting PolymerShahzad, Monas 01 January 2012 (has links)
Conductors with IR (infrared) plasma frequencies are potentially useful hosts of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with subwavelength mode confinement for sensing applications. The underlying aim of this work is to identify such conductors that also have sharp SPP excitation resonances for biosensor applications at infrared (3-11 m) wavelengths, where biological analytes are strongly differentiated by their IR absorption spectra. In this work, various materials were investigated such as a heavily doped semiconductor, a semimetal, a conducting polymer and its composite. Heavily doped silicon was investigated by tuning its plasma frequency to the infrared region by heavily doping. The measured complex permittivity spectra for p-type silicon with a carrier concentration of 6 1019 and 6 1020 cm -3 show that these materials support SPPs beyond 11 and 6 m wavelengths, respectively. SPP generation was observed in angular reflection spectra of doped-silicon gratings. Photon-to-plasmon coupling resonances, a necessary condition for sensing, were demonstrated near 10 m wavelength for the heaviest doped, and the observed resonances were confirmed theoretically using analytic calculations. The permittivity spectra were also used to calculate SPP mode heights above the silicon surface and SPP propagation lengths. Reasonable merit criteria applied to these quantities suggest that only the heaviest doped material has sensor potential, and then mainly within the wavelength range of 6 to 10 m. iv The semimetal bismuth (Bi) has an infrared plasmon frequency less than the infrared plasma frequency of noble metals such as gold and silver, which is one order of magnitude lower than their plasma frequencies. The excitation of IR surface plasmons on Bi lamellar gratings in the wavelength range of 3.4 µm to 10.6 µm was observed. Distinct SPP resonances were observed although the usual condition for bound SPP is not satisfied in this wavelength range because the real part of the permittivity is positive. The excitation of these resonances agrees theoretically with the electromagnetic surface waves called surface polaritons (SPs). The measured permittivity spectra were used to calculate the SP mode heights above the bismuth surface and SP propagation length, which satisfied our criteria for sensors. A conducting polymer and its composite with graphite were also investigated since their plasma frequency may lie in the infrared region. Polyaniline was chemically synthesized and doped with various acids to prepare its salt form. A composite material of polyaniline with colloidal and nano-graphite was also prepared. Optical constants were measured in the long wave infrared region (LWIR) and were used to calculate SPP propagation length and penetration depth. SPP resonance spectra were calculated and suggested that polyaniline and its composite can be used as a host with sufficient mode confinement for IR sensor application.
