Après la Révolution culturelle, toute une génération de compositeurs de Chine continentale a émergé sur la scène internationale. Ce mouvement est indissociable de la mondialisation artistique, puisque beaucoup de ces compositeurs se sont dispersés dans le monde pour se construire hors de leur contexte culturel d’origine. C’est à Chen Zhen, un plasticien chinois de la même génération, que nous avons emprunté les trois concepts de « résidence, résonance et résistance », pour éclairer leurs trajectoires. 1 Résidence Comment relier par cette notion des compositeurs qui vivent aux États-Unis, en Europe, et même … en Chine ? Ce n’est pas dans la géographie qu’il faut chercher un ancrage commun, mais plutôt dans l’histoire. Dix années de Révolution culturelle, suivies de dix années d’ouverture, ont façonné très fortement cette génération.2 Résonance Dans la délicate alchimie à opérer entre techniques occidentales et traditions musicales chinoises, on repère une sorte de circulation entre différentes couches de mémoire. L’étude des œuvres permet de voir combien les influences s’enchevêtrent.3 Résistance On note chez nombre de compositeurs chinois une volonté de se démarquer de la musique contemporaine occidentale : univers incontournable pour être reconnu, elle semble avoir opéré à la manière d’une sorte de « surmoi ». On peut y voir la résurgence de l’idéal esthétique chinois ancien du naturel (ziran), mais aussi un accommodement aux lois du marché. / After the Cultural Revolution, a whole generation of Chinese composers arrived on the international music scene. It is not possible to dissociate this movement from the artistic globalisation, since almost all of these composers are spread out over the different continents and are working outside of their original cultural context. To clarify the paths taken by these composers, we shall use the categories (“residence, resonance and resistance”) elaborated by Chen Zhen, a Chinese visual artist of the same generation1. ResidenceHow can we possibly group together under this term composers living in the United States, Europe and even … in China? We cannot look to geography to find a common basis but rather to history. Ten years of the Cultural Revolution followed by another ten where China had opened to the West have had a very strong impact on this generation of composers.2. ResonanceIn the delicate alchemy that takes place between Western technique and Chinese musical tradition, we can see a certain inter-penetration of different layers of memory. Studying the works of these composers, we can see how much these influences become entangled.3. ResistanceWe can notice with many of these Chinese composers a growing tendency to take distance from Western contemporary music, a world essential to be part of, if one wants recognition, acting as a kind of Super-Ego. We can see this phenomenon like the resurgence of very old Chinese aesthetic concept, the ideal of the “natural” (ziran) or like a compromise with the market power.

A presente pesquisa traça um percurso referencial artístico que culminou num gênero de performance digital denominado electropera. Este gênero híbrido é formado pelo encontro, numa mesma arena, da performance art, da música contemporânea assistida por tecnologias eletrônicas digitais e das mídias visuais manipuladas (cinema found footage e vídeo arte). A pesquisa parte da abordagem da performance na música com preocupações analíticas acerca da construção da persona no performer musical; caminha para os desdobramentos sonoros nas vanguardas e alcança os movimentos de música experimental resultantes da contracultura dos anos 60; analisa as concepções estéticas de alguns compositores referenciais que saíram dos limites restritivos da escrita musical e optaram pela inserção de múltiplas linguagens em suas obras e lança um olhar analítico sobre novo papel das mulheres como performers e conceptoras de trabalhos musicais no universo da multimídia. A síntese de toda essa genealogia conceitual, histórica e auto-referencial culminou com a produção e a análise crítica e processual de um trabalho pessoal, a electropera Ópio. / This research traces the referential path which culminated in a gender of digital performance entitled electropera. This hybrid gender is constituted by the encounter, in a same arena, of performance art, contemporary music assisted by digital electronic technologies and the manipulation of visual medias such as found footage and video art. This study analytically approaches performance in music by focusing on the elaboration of a persona by the musical performer. Including the sonorous developments on the avant-garde movements through the resulting experimental music derived from the sixties counter-culture and the conceptual aesthetics of some chosen composers which transgressed the restrictive boundaries of musical composition by encompassing multiple art forms. Allowing an analytical glimpse on the new role of women as performers and creators of musical works in the multimedia universe. The synthesis of this conceptual historicized and self-referential genealogy culminated in the production, critical and process analyses of an authorial work, the electropera Ópio.

Ce travail propose d'observer l’effet de différentes structures musicales, extraites du courant musical minimaliste, sur la perception auditive temporelle d'adolescents musiciens et non-musiciens. Pour entreprendre cette recherche, nous avons dû d'abord définir notre conception du temps musical ainsi que son impact supposé sur la perception auditive.Une fois le corpus d’œuvres minimalistes sélectionné, une analyse musicale des extraits sonores retenus pour l’élaboration de deux expérimentations a été réalisée. Elle est destinée à justifier le choix de ces extraits et à définir les procédés d'écriture mis en œuvre, susceptibles d'altérer la perception de la durée chez les sujets. Deux expériences, une tâche de catégorisation libre et une tâche d’évaluation de durées, sont présentées sous la forme de protocoles expérimentaux, permettant d’exposer le déroulement de chacune, de commenter les résultats obtenus et d’expliquer les méthodes de calcul afin de formuler une interprétation des résultats.D’après les résultats observés, seulement certains procédés d’écriture utilisés par les compositeurs minimalistes semblent avoir un effet sur la perception des structures musicales et sur l’estimation de leur durée. Ces résultats sont valables pour les deux groupes de sujets, ce qui prouve que l’expérience musicale antérieure n’a pas d’effet majeur sur la perception de la durée dans un contexte musical. / This work proposes to observe the effect of various musical structures, extracted from the minimalist musical current, on temporal auditive perception of musician and non-musician adolescents. In order to undertake this research, we had to first define our conception of musical time as well as its supposed impact on auditive perception. Once the minimalist musical work corpus was selected, a musical analysis of the sound excerpts chosen for the elaboration of two experiments was done. It was destined to justify the selection of these excerpts and to define the writing processes at work, liable to distort duration perception of the subjects. Two experiments, a free categorization task and a duration evaluation task, are presented as experimental protocols in order to show their progression, to comment the obtained results and to explain the computing methods allowing to formulate an interpretation of the results. According to the results, only some writing processes used by minimalist composers seem to have an effect on perception of musical structures and their duration estimation. The results are valid for both subject groups, which proves that previous musical experience does not have a major effect on duration perception in musical context.

This thesis addresses critical strategies that have been used, or might be used, to approach Pärt's tintinnabuli music. It has three main objectives: to question prevalent narratives drawn around the tintinnabuli concept, to suggest interpretative frameworks that could yield fresh insights into that concept's 'meaning', and to introduce new and neglected materials to anglophone Pärt discourse. In studying the mediating role of the tintinnabuli scholar, I also confront some of the ethical challenges associated with research on living composers. This project places special emphasis on localised narratives of production and influence in Pärt's music, and draws extensively on Estonian primary source material. A major hermeneutic guide has been the composer's 1994 description of seeking 'the appropriate system for the gesture', and this idea figures in each of the four main chapters. Chapter 1 describes and questions existing knowledge around tintinnabuli, approaching this task through a study of "Wenn Bach Bienen Gezüchtet Hätte ...", a work chosen for its critically fertile 'cusp' status. Chapter 2 concentrates on Pärt's explorations of 'Soviet serialism' from 1960-3, engaging with withdrawn and film scores in addition to the well-known "Nekrolog". I discuss this music in terms of a complex freedom-constraint interplay, and suggest links to the tintinnabuli style. Taking "Sarah Was Ninety Years Old" as a case study, Chapter 3 turns to listener-oriented frameworks of musical meaning. I offer an experiential reading of the piece that places tintinnabuli in dialogue with body-based theories of cognition. Lastly, Chapter 4 addresses texted tintinnabuli. I build up a reading of "Miserere" in terms of 'musical rhetoric', comparing Pärt's compositional strategies to those used by Josquin des Prez in the 1503 motet "Miserere Mei, Deus". I also consider the implications of music-rhetorical analogy for wider understandings of the 'tintinnabuli' concept.

O trabalho investiga o processo de construção das performances das obras para piano solo da compositora carioca Marisa Rezende (1944), considerando a interação entre intérprete e compositora. Até o momento, a obra pianística de Marisa Rezende é constituída pelas obras Ressonâncias (1983), Contrastes (2001) e Miragem (2011). Através da documentação de seu processo de construção da performance das obras, das mensagens eletrônicas trocadas com Marisa Rezende, e do material documentado em áudio e vídeo proveniente do trabalho presencial realizado com a compositora, o autor avalia o impacto que essa interação ocasionou em suas decisões interpretativas. / This work investigates the process of creating an interpretation of the works for solo piano by Brazilian composer Marisa Rezende (Rio de Janeiro, 1944). At the present time, Rezende’s works for solo piano comprise Ressonâncias (1983), Contrastes (2001), and Miragem (2011). This investigation considers the contributions of the interaction between the performer and the composer. By documenting the process of creating an interpretation for these works prior to working jointly with the composer, and the interactions with Rezende through electronic messages and an audio/video recording of a working session with the composer, the author assesses the impact of those interactions on his interpretative decisions.

Falando especificamente do saxofone, as técnicas estendidas têm estado presentes em muitas obras compostas para o instrumento, fazendo com que as pessoas envolvidas neste processo de realização musical sejam levadas a se deparar com constantes e novas possibilidades de composição e interpretação. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo traçar, através das técnicas estendidas, um panorama estético e propor discussões sobre alguns processos composicionais presentes nas obras de concerto contemporâneas para saxofone. Analisando a utilização destas sonoridades em obras específicas juntamente com as necessidades relacionadas à execução geradas por tais sonoridades, procuramos partir da percepção e compreensão das rupturas ocorridas nos processos criativos, culminando na necessidade de expansão das técnicas composicionais e performáticas por parte de intérpretes e compositores. Como parte importante do trabalho, nos propomos também à composição de uma música em que se façam presentes os elementos tratados no desenvolvimento da pesquisa, de modo a servir como material final para a experiência prática nos assuntos aqui tratados. / Within the possibilities of sound procedures and materials used in the process of contemporary musical composition, the use of extended techniques has been a remarkable and transformative element of aural and visual perceptions of this music. Speaking specifically of the saxophone, extended techniques have been present in many compositions for the instrument, so that people involved in the process of making music are brought to find new possibilities for creation and interpretation. The present paper aims to trace, through extended techniques, an aesthetic overview and to propose discussions on some compositional processes present in works of contemporary concert music for saxophone. Analyzing the use of these sounds in specific works together with the needs related to the implementation generated by such sounds, we depart from the perception and understanding of the ruptures occurred in creative processes, culminating in the need for expansion of compositional techniques and by performance by players and composers. As an important part of the work, we propose also the composition of a song where the elements developed across research can be included to serve as final material for practical experience subject.

A broad contextualization is presented in which we approached the composer s history, its main compositional characteristics, its aesthetic influences, the inter-relations between subjectivity and music making in her work, her gendered position in music and the importance of personal collaborations on the developing of her cello work. Musical analysis is preceded by the context of the piece, its situation on the cello repertoire, its influences and main characteristics. Due to the predominant use of natural harmonics a transcription of the original score is displayed. Musical analysis is then presented through the approach of formal and structural aspects. Research on the pitch, rhythmic, texture, timbral, gestures, instrumental and visual (metaphorical) dimensions of the piece is presented. Relations are established between the Sept Papillons building and Saariaho´s compositional processes. Technical and interpretative aspects of Sept Papillons performance and practice are addressed in dialogue with texts by performers and musicologists that work with her works and also through five interviews with cellists who have been played Sept Papillons in high level performances and recordings. It is observed the place of the body in music performance, on the sophisticated coordination on instrumental actions necessary for the performance. It is seen that Saariaho expands both the cello technique and the cello writing. Our work is justified by the contributions made to the field of knowledge on Kaija Saariaho, on analysis and performance of the contemporary repertoire, and on cello technique and cello music. / Esta dissertação apresenta uma análise musical e aborda alguns aspectos interpretativos da peça Sept Papillons (2000) para violoncelo solo, da compositora finlandesa Kaija Saariaho (1952). É apresentada uma ampla contextualização da compositora na qual abordamos sua trajetória, suas principais características composicionais, suas influências estéticas, as inter-relações entre subjetividade e fazer musical em sua obra, sua condição de gênero na música e a importância de colaborações pessoais no desenvolvimento de sua obra para violoncelo. A análise musical é precedida pela contextualização da peça, sua localização no repertório violoncelístico, suas influências e principais características. Por conta do predominante uso de harmônicos naturais uma transcrição da partitura original é apresentada. A análise musical é então realizada através da abordagem de aspectos formais e estruturais da investigação da dimensão das alturas, das dimensões rítmica, textural, tímbrica, gestual, instrumental e imagética (metafórica). São estabelecidas relações entre a construção de Sept Papillons e os processos composicionais de Saariaho. Aspectos técnicos e interpretativos da performance de Sept Papillons são abordados, em diálogo com textos de intérpretes e musicólogos (as) que trabalham com as obras da compositora e também através de cinco entrevistas realizadas com intérpretes que já apresentaram Sept Papillons em performances e gravações de alta qualidade. É observado o lugar do corpo na performance, na coordenação de sofisticadas ações instrumentais necessárias e também de que forma Saariaho expande a técnica e a escrita violoncelística. Nosso trabalho se justifica pelas contribuições oferecidas ao campo de conhecimento sobre Kaija Saariaho, sobre análise e performance do repertório contemporâneo e sobre técnica e interpretação do violoncelo.
