Utilizando exemplos escolhidos entre as Pavanas e Galhardas do autor, a dissertação constituí-se de reflexões sobre performance histórica e dos passos necessários a serem tomados por qualquer intérprete interessado em executar esta música. Um quase manual de interpretação se delineia nestas páginas - a técnica do alaúde é descrita baseada em tratados e manuscritos da época do autor, com comentários necessários para a melhor compreensão do intérprete moderno. Num terreno mais próximo à chamada "nova musicologia", a obra do autor é apresentada e discutida: Dowland é um profundo conhecedor das artes da retórica e sua música é um poderoso ~eio de manipulação do ouvinte. conclusão se dá em aspectos práticos de interpretação: as Pavanas e Galhardas são descritas a partir do tratado de dança do século XVI de Thoinot Arbeau. O conhecimento do universo das danças da corte elizabetana enriquece a interpretação com significados além da dança propriamente dita. A retórica e a ornamentação são elementos fundamentais para a boa interpretação da música de Dowland e são amplamente discutidos nos dois últimos capítulos da dissertação / Abstract: Not informed. / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes

O presente trabalho investiga as seis peças religiosas de A Pilgrimes Solace (1612), último livro de ayres de John Dowland (1563-1626): In this trembling shadow, If that a sinners sighes, Thou mightie God, When Davids life by Saul, When the poor cripple e Where sinne sore wounding. Para isto, usamos uma abordagem intertextual a fim de situar esta coleção no cenário da Inglaterra dos sécs. XVI-XVII, comparando-a com outras coleções de ayres e canções polifônicas inglesas que misturam os gêneros religioso e secular. Buscamos entender quais foram os eventos que circundaram a publicação desta coleção; as possíveis conexões entre os textos dessas seis peças com o culto da salmodia neste país; as características musicais em comuns ou diferentes de outras peças da mesma época; as relações entre as canções desta coleção e seu título, assim como com o prefácio ao leitor e as relações de patronagem envolvidas nesta publicação. Diante desta perspectiva, a abordagem musicológica deste trabalho é aquela da nova musicologia, proposta por Vicent Duckles, Joseph Kerman e Jean Nattiez. Sugere-se, assim, uma perspectiva que leva em conta a inter-relação entre aspectos históricos, filosóficos, sociais e retórico-musicais. A conexão entre essas áreas foi utilizada para a análise da obra escolhida e contribuiu para situar esta coleção neste período, de modo que ela pudesse ser investigada através de materiais extramusicais: manuais de cortesania, tratados médicos, diários, livros de salmos, livros de teoria musical, entre outros. Em suma, através dessa abordagem descrevemos o cenário em que as coleções de ayres estavam inseridas, a relação entre música e devoção e a função da música nesta sociedade. Com isto, percebemos que A Pilgrimes Solace é uma mistura não só de gêneros, mas também de estilos musicais, de ambientes (canções relacionadas à privacidade ou a celebrações públicas) e de funções, já que essa coleção aborda tanto aspectos da música relacionada à função religiosa quanto à recreação do espírito. Em relação às peças religiosas, através da análise retórico-musical, foi possível perceber o lamento como elemento principal representado pela música, assim como os aspectos que se relacionam à jornada do eu-lírico nestas canções: dores, angústias, arrependimento verdadeiro, fé em Deus, paciência ao esperar o conforto divino e a remissão de seus pecados. Por fim, através das análises comparativas com obras de autores como William Byrd, Thomas Campion e John Milton, entre outros, inferimos que Dowland tende a usar lugares-comuns para representar este tipo de texto, convergindo com o estilo musical destes compositores. Contudo, ele infringe com mais frequência as regras do contraponto quando o poema exige, carrega suas peças com cromatismos e se preocupa em criar uma imagem musical mais contundente das situações que as personagens enfrentam. / This research intends to investigate the six religious songs of John Dowland\'s A Pilgrimes Solace, his last book of airs (1612): In this trembling shadow, If that a sinners sighes, Thou mighty God, When Davids life by Saul, When the poore cripple e Where sinne sore wounding. To this end, we approach this dissertation through an intertextual method in order to place this collection in the England scenario during 16th and 17th centuries, comparing it to other ayres collections and polyphonic English songs which mix religious and secular music genres. Therefore, we seek to understand which events surrounded the publication of this collection, the possible connections between the texts of these six songs and the psalm singing cult in this country, the musical characteristics in common or not with other contemporaneous works and the relation between the songs of this collection and its title and preface to the reader as well as the patronage\'s relations evolved in this publication. Regarding this perspective, the musicological approach is that from the new musicology proposed by Vicent Duckles, Joseph Kerman e Jean Nattiez, suggesting, thus, an interrelation among historical, philosophical, social, and musical-rhetoric aspects. Therefore, the connection between these areas were chosen for the analysis of this collection and contributed to place it in this period of time, investigating it through extramusical aspects: conducting books, medical treatise, diaries, book of psalms, books of contemporaneous musical theory, among others. To summarize, through this approach we described the scenario in which the ayres collections were inserted, the relation between music and devotion, and the function of music in that society. Having said that, we perceived that A Pilgrimes Solace is a mix not only of musical genre, but also of musical style, environment (songs related to privacy or public celebrations) and function, since this collection deals with religious function as well as recreational purposes. Regarding the religious songs, through the musical-rhetoric analysis, we could perceive the lament as the main element to be represented through music as well as the aspects related to the versifier\'s journey in these songs: sorrows, moans, true repentance, faith in God, patience to wait for his comfort and redemption of sins. Finally, through the comparative analysis with William Byrd, Thomas Campion e John Milton, we inferred that John Dowland tend to use common places to represent this type of text, converging with the musical style of those composers; however, Dowland frequently brakes the counterpoint rules when the poem demands, fills his pieces with cromatism and creates an image of the situation in which the characters are facing.

This document is the result of the research done in preparation for the two thesis-recitals given in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Performance. The recitals and the document are devoted to selected art song composers from Great Britain, the United States, and Canada. The purpose of the research was to obtain a historical and stylistic understanding of the repertoire to be performed in the thesis-recitals. The methodology used for the elaboration of this document included review of relevant literature, score analysis, listening to recordings by major performers, and the preparation for performance itself. The first chapter is focused on the fact that Great Britains most distinguished composers have been influenced by musical practices from the European continent. John Dowland, Henry Purcell, Benjamin Britten, and the composers from the so-called British Musical Renaissance are taken into account. The second chapter is dedicated to three major figures in art song composition in the United States: Charles Griffes, Samuel Barber, and Ned Rorem. The chapter highlights the fact that these composers share two important features: their styles have roots in musical practices of continental Europe and today they are considered among the most truly American voices. The third chapter focuses on Jean Coulthard, Violet Archer, and R. Murray Schafer as examples of how Canadian composers have used the European artistic heritage in the process of creating their own styles. The document concludes that, in addition to creativity and personal artistic values, two other factors seem to have been important in allowing this group of composers to become models of the national voice of their own countries: a strong awareness of musical and literary heritage and an open acceptance of foreign influences.

This thesis offers a wide spectrum of information for potential interpreters of renaissance lute music on the guitar with a special view on compositions by John Dowland. First it is focused on the development of vocal music and its influence on the creation and evolution of instrumental music during the renaissance period, including works for the lute. The vita and a short view on the whole musical work of John Dowland introduce to the reader this very special person, whose two fantasies for solo lute - Fantasie No.1 and Farwell - are the main subject of this thesis. Transcriptions of both these compositions into modern notation are the most important part of the extra attachments. The thesis includes also necessary information about tablature, the way of dealing with lute techniques on the guitar and other aspects concerning the interpretation of lute music on the guitar.

In spite of an increasing interest in the analysis of Renaissance music by contemporary theorists, few analyses of lute music exist. It is hoped that this thesis will serve to open a new area of analysis to scholars of Renaissance music. Chapter I deals with the background information necessary for the analysis, including Dowland's biography, lute history, technique, and notation, and the practice of modality on the lute. An overview of Dowland's music, especially the solo lute music, ends the chapter. Chapter II traces the form and development of the fantasia and surveys Dowland's seven fantasias. In Chapters III-V, the works are divided according to mode and analyzed in terms of counterpoint, dissonance, motivic development and modality. Chapter VI provides concluding remarks.
