This study explored undergraduate music majors' strategies in two-part dictation. Sixty volunteers answered a questionnaire on their musical background, learning styles, and dictation methods. They then took part in three dictation sessions. Two sessions directed attention to rhythm first or pitch first, and one session was a non-directed control dictation. Treatments were counterbalanced across 6 groups (n = 10). Dependent measures were pitch and rhythm accuracy scores on dictations. Analysis of variance showed no order effects. A repeated measures MANOVA (pitch and rhythm by 3 conditions) showed a significant effect for condition ($p < .0001$). Higher rhythm accuracy resulted from the rhythm-first condition, compared to the non-directed ($p < .05$) and pitch-first ($p < .0001$) conditions. Pitch accuracy was not affected by condition. Accuracy was unrelated to any of the covariates examined (instrumental information, years of theory and counterpoint study, keyboard skill, learning style and private strategy). Results suggest that in polyphonic dictation, attending to rhythm first and pitch afterwards may be an effective way of maximizing rhythmic accuracy.

Para a fundamentação da pesquisa, são considerados primariamente aspectos relacionados à periodicidade motívica em tratados e exemplos musicais do séc. XIII, limitando-se à compreensão do termo como apresentado nos tratados práticos do séc. XVI, propiciando assim, materiais e indícios que apontam as variadas etapas do desenvolvimento e realização do cânone. Ao longo da exposição do estudo, uma série de comentários de excertos diretamente ligados às fontes primárias são apresentados, resultando em uma contribuição teórica às questões terminológicas e conceituais concernentes à sua história. / Based from three axes of polyphony’s knowledge (theoretical, practical and speculative), this work presents the 'concept of the canon’s protoforms', which consists of five matrices or forms-based synthesizing the varied manifestations of the canon during the 13th-16th centuries. In order to support the research, they are considered primarily aspects related to motivic periodicity in treatises and musical examples in 13th century, being limited on understanding of the term as presented in practical treatises in 16th-century, thus providing materials and evidences that link the various stages of development and realization of the canon. Throughout the study’s exposition, a series of excerpts and comments directly related to the primary sources are presented, resulting in a theoretical contribution to the terminological and conceptual issues concerning they history.

Flera studier har gjorts kring hur musik påverkar människor. Bullerjahn och Güldenring genomförde en studie där en egenskapad scen musiklades på flera olika sätt, Cohen gjorde liknande studier men kopplade det till psykologi. Resultaten de fick fram var att musik påverkade tittaren på det sättet som musiken var tänkt att göra.För att få svar på hur musik påverkar en filmscen skapades problemformuleringen: Hur påverkas upplevelsen samt förståelsen av en films dödsscen när den musikläggs på två olika sätt; empathetic eller anempathetic musikläggning utöver filmens originalljudeffekter?För att få svar på frågeställningen så genomfördes ett antal intervjuer där respondenterna fick se samma självmordsscen tre gånger men musiklagd på tre olika sätt. Enbart ljudeffekter, empathetic eller anempathetic.Ett antal filmscener analyserades och musik skapades för att återskapa både empathetic och anempathetic musik som användes i studien. Nio respondenter intervjuades och utifrån deras svar kom resultatet att musik inte påverkade deras uppfattning eller förståelse av scenen nämnvärt.För att få fram ett mer rättvisande resultat hade fler intervjuer behövt genomföras. Skapandet av en egen scen hade antagligen hjälpt studien då man hade haft full kontroll över flera delar som t.ex. längd och handling.

In this project I aimed to deepen my insight into musical craftsmanship, form conclusions about counterpoint, harmony and melody (both written and improvisational) and how these can intertwine in order to create a larger coherent musical work. Whilst working on the project I used a wide plethora of jazz and classical techniques to create programmatic music molded after the great Swedish novel Doktor Glas. The music was written for a small orchestra with musicians with backgrounds in jazz, classical and folk music, and was performed live at KMH on the 12th of April 2022.

Constructed in his self-acknowledge hometown of Richland Center, Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright was to work on the A.D. German Warehouse twice during his lifetime. Initially constructed between 1917 and 1921, financial woes on the part of the owner led to a shuttered building. In 1934 Wright worked on an adaptive reuse, but the plans were never to be implemented and German lost the building for good. A careful study of the history of the structure, foregoing todays computers for Wrights triangles, and an analysis of the frieze led me to my own adaptive reuse. The musical characteristics of harmony and countperpoint found powerful expression in the pairings of vertical and horizontal, light and dark, and new and old. These relational tensions resonated with the internal structure of the transformational geometry and created a powerful resolution between the enclosing massive forms of the original Warehouse and my new design. / Master of Architecture
