Before the Champions: Frederick Delius' Florida Suite for Orchestra

Greene, Mary E 04 May 2011 (has links)
Frederick Delius’ music never appealed to the masses, but rather found ardent support in a devoted few. This trend of select championship was predicted, if not encouraged, by the composer himself: “A few there are who love and understand. They are the ones that count. The rest are not worth bothering about.” [1] Throughout Delius’ labored career, he was fortunate to meet the very champions of his work that would guide him through the most critical points in his life. Few composers have elicited such devotion and sacrifice that Delius garnered with relatively little solicitation. The aim of this paper is to explore the life of Delius with its history of champions and to examine his early work, "Florida Suite for Orchestra," encompassing the germs of potential that his committed followers would come to recognize at the height of his powers during the first decade of the twentieth century.

The interpretation and analysis of Stravinsky's Suite Italinne¡]Violin version¡^

Kuo, Ting-chu 09 September 2005 (has links)
Abstract Igro Stravinsky composed¡§Pulcinella¡¨ballet under the suggestion of Diaghilev in 1919. In this work, most of the melodies are based on Pergolesi as well as his contemporary composers, in addition to Stravinsky' unique features, such as dissonance intervals and unusual rhythmic patterns. The baroque concerto grosso form was used as a vehicle to describe his ideal of neo-classicism. The violin version of¡§Suite Italienne¡¨was composed in 1925. It's six sections: Introduzione¡B Serenata¡B Tarantella¡B Gavotta con due Variaziono¡B Scherzino¡B and Minuetto & Finale, were all selected from the ¡§Pulcinella¡¨. The current violin version was adapted by Dushkin in 1933. Besides the violin version, there are two other versions, one for cello and the other one for orchestra . In addition to the introduction and the conclusion, the main part of this thesis is divided into three chapters. Chapter one is an overview of Stravinsky's background of music composition. The Ballet Russes's director Diaghilev and violinist Dushkin are also mentioned. Chapter two is a comparison of the two different versions between¡§Pulcinella¡¨and¡§Suite Italienne¡¨. The plot of¡§Pulcinella¡¨is also included. The last chapter is a technical analysis of violin playing as well as musical interpretation of ¡§Suite Italinne¡¨.

Paul Hindemith's Suite 1922: Influences of Jazz and Baroque Styles, and his Embryonic Compositional System

Park, Bokyung January 2013 (has links)
This document examines Paul Hindemith's piano work, Suite 1922, op. 26, (1922) a work that is seldom played and studied among pianists. My study explores two broad questions: first, how and for what purpose are traditional Baroque models and jazz idioms included in Hindemith's Suite 1922; and second, can one analyze portions of the suite according to the process and principles found in Hindemith's compositional system? While this system was not fully outlined by Hindemith until 1937, the author examines to what extent specific elements of his emerging theory are to be found throughout Suite 1922. The first two chapters are dedicated to an overview of Hindemith's life and music. Chapter III investigates the origins of the individual movements of Suite 1922 and provides a structural analysis for each. Chapter IV examines the jazz and Baroque features found in Suite 1922. In this chapter, the author identifies the main elements drawn from both styles: blues harmonies, extended triads, syncopations and rhythmic devices from jazz; and formal aspects, dance suite order and affects from the Baroque. Chapter V presents Hindemith's mature compositional system in a concise format and applies selected aspects of this innovative system to the suite. Hindemith's six levels of analysis and unifying principles are the primary tools applied to this analysis. This study provides new insights into one of Hindemith's more fascinating works to further enhance the understanding of his music for pianists, scholars, and composers alike.

Expansion of Pianism through a Reinterpretation of Bartók's Dance Suite for Solo Piano (1925)

Lee, Jenny JungYeon 05 1900 (has links)
This project offers a comprehensive performance guide to Bartók's Dance Suite for solo piano based on a renewed interpretation of the piece. The Dance Suite (Táncszvit/Tanz Suite) is a unique work in Bartók's oeuvre, presented by the composer in two versions: one for orchestra (1923) and one for solo piano (1925). There has been little research done on this piece to enhance its popularity even though it may be a piece that illuminates one of Bartók's compositional philosophies: the unity of all cultures and folk song. Pianists must interpret this piece not only through the eyes of a soloist, but also as a musician who makes careful decisions—as if one were undertaking the making of a piano reduction of an orchestral score oneself. The methods presented intend to help pianists acquire and maintain a curious and flexible mind where freedom of interpretation is concerned, and hone inquisitive minds to overcome challenges when holding the reins of an orchestra across the eighty-eight keys of the piano towards limitless expansion and development of pianism and musicianship.

Propriétés combinatoires et arithmétiques de certaines suites automatiques et substitutives

Albert, Julien 10 July 2006 (has links) (PDF)
L'objet de cette thèse est l'étude des liens existant entre la combinatoire de l'écriture d'un nombre réel en base entière ou sous la forme d'une fraction continue et le caractère algébrique ou transcendant de ce nombre réel (une conjecture de Borel prévoit que tout irrationnel algébrique est un nombre absolument normal: ses écritures en bases entières ont la même propriété que celle d'une suite aléatoire de chiffres).

Simulering av oljeflödet i Scanias växellådor

Eriksson, Joakim January 2012 (has links)
Man vill på Scania korta utvecklingstiden på sina produkter för att fortsatt kunna vara en av de främsta tillverkarna av lastbilar i världen. För att lyckas med detta måste man hitta nya hjälpmedel och vägar för att öka kunskapen och snabba på utvecklingsarbetet. Oljeflödet i växellådan är ett sådant område där man nu undersökt möjligheterna till att öka kunskaperna genom datorsimuleringar. I detta examensarbete har en modell för datorsimuleringar av oljeflödet genom axlarna i växellådan tagits fram i GT-Suite, som är ett modulbaserat simuleringsprogram i 1D. Modellen kan simulera flödet från oljepumpen, ända bak till solhjulet i planetväxeln och däremellan flödet till lager och synkar. Tanken är att den ska kunna användas vid vidareutveckling av dagens växellådor och i framtiden utvecklingen av nya växellådor. Simuleringarna har validerats mot mätningar som genomförts där flödet till solhjulet har mätts för olika varvtal och uppställningar av växellådan. Simuleringarna har kunnat efterlikna mätningarna på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Det finns goda möjligheter att simulera flödet i GT-Suite och använda programmet som referens vid förändringar och nyutveckling av växellådor. Simuleringar har även för vissa delkomponenter validerats mot CFD-simuleringar i 3D. Fördelen med CFD-simuleringar är att mer kunskap om flödet kan utvinnas även för komplicerade geometrier. Nackdelen är att komplexiteten vid simulering av hela systemet blir för stor varför mestadels delsystem måste studeras. I framtiden kommer säkerligen arbete i form av nya mätningar och simuleringar i CFD-program behövas för att ytterligare förbättra och utveckla modellen. Men redan nu har resultat från simuleringar kunnat öka kunskapen om flödet i växellådan. Detta har i sin tur kunnat hjälpa konstruktörer att lösa utmaningar man haft, samt upptäcka nya som skulle kunna lösas genom att simulera och undersöka vilka förändringar som krävs. / At Scania they want to shorten the development time on their products in order to continue being one of the top manufacturers of trucks in the world. To do this they have find new ways and new tools to increase the knowledge and speed up the development of new products. The oil flow in the gearbox is such an area in which they have examined the possibilities to increase the knowledge with the aid of computer simulations. In this thesis work a model for computer simulations of the oil flow through the shafts of the gearbox has been developed in GT-Suite, a module based simulation program in 1D. The model can simulate the flow of oil from the oil pump in the front of the gearbox, all the way back to the sun wheel in the planetary gear and in between the flow to bearings and synchronizers. The aim is to be able to use the model during further development of todays gearboxes and in the future development of new gearboxes. The simulations have been validated against measurements which have been performed in which the oil flow to the sun wheel have been measured for various speeds an configurations of the gearbox. The simulations have been able to replicate the measurements in many ways adequately. GT-Suite is well suited for simulations and to use as a reference when making adjustments to the gearbox and in the future when developing new gearboxes. The result from simulations in GT-Suite have also been validate against CFD-simulations in 3D for some specific components. The advantage of CFD-simulations is that more knowledge of the flow can be obtained even for complicated geometries. The disadvantage is that the complexity when simulating the entire system makes it almost impossible, so mostly subsystems must be studied. In the future more work in form of new measurements and simulations in CFD-programs will be necessary to further improve the model. But already now the results of simulations have been able to increase the knowledge of the oil flow in the gearbox. And this in turn have helped designers to solve some challenges they have had, but also discovered new ones that could be solved by simulations and examine what changes are required.

Suite a la chilena : para orquesta sinfónica

Valderrama García, Sergio January 2014 (has links)
Postítulo en composición musical / Expongo a continuación los principales elementos que se consideraron para el desarrollo de esta obra musical. Es decir, se da a conocer los procesos que llevaron a componer una Suite para orquesta sinfónica. En primer lugar, era necesario conceptualizar el término “Suite”, donde quede claro su importancia musical y la libertad que presenta para incluir diversos tipos de piezas, principalmente danzas. Además de estudiar la Suite, era necesario investigar que compositores nacionales han escrito Suite o Danzas folclóricas chilenas. En una búsqueda preliminar se encontraron 15 obras, la mayoría incluían, además de danzas folclóricas, canciones chilenas de raíz folclórica. Continuando con la investigación se hizo una búsqueda en el Archivo Musical de la Biblioteca Nacional, consultando por compositores nacionales. Con este estudio, se efectúa la investigación, lo que ratifica que es válido y vigente el término “Suite” del proyecto de composición. Aclarado que componer una Suite era el término correcto, nos falta determinar cuáles serán las piezas musicales que la comprenderán, para posteriormente proceder a la composición orquestal. La obra es una Suite de danzas folclóricas chilenas, motivo por el cual veremos la investigación que se hizo al respecto. El capítulo 3, se inicia con una breve reseña histórica sobre las danzas y música de raíz folclórica. Muestro la presencia de las danzas folclóricas y las influencias en su origen, de los españoles, pueblos nativos y esclavos africanos. Doy una referencia histórica, a comienzos, mediados y fines del siglo XIX. La actividad de los sellos discográficos, la radio a fines de siglo, fueron grandes promotores de la música folclórica. Surgen solistas, dúos y cuartetos, transformándola en música de espectáculo. Al inicio del siglo XX la tonada tuvo mucha fuerza, surgen grandes intérpretes y un grupo destacado de compositores de este estilo, más tarde denominado como Neofolclore. Importancia clave tuvo Margot Loyola quien popularizó el repertorio étnico e histórico chileno; también el grupo Millaray. Se debe destacar las presentaciones de Violeta Parra en la radio (1953) y Televisión (1960). Entre los años 1960 a 1973 surgió la Nueva Canción Chilena incorporando la problemática social en la letra de las canciones y danzas. Ambos movimientos (Neofolclore y Nueva Canción Chilena) fueron importantes en el rescate, difusión y desarrollo del folclore chileno. En el segundo punto del capítulo tercero se presentan las danzas tradicionales partiendo por la cueca chilena y agrupando las restantes danzas tradicionales de acuerdo a la situación geográfica: Zona Norte, Zona Centro, Zona Sur y Zona Extremo Sur. Se presentan los distintos tipos de cuecas según la zona geográfica y el estrato social. Luego se describen las principales danzas de la Zona Norte, describiendo el baile, la instrumentación y comentarios sobre la vigencia de cada uno. Se mencionan: el Huayno, el Cachimbo, el Huachitorito, la cueca nortina, el carnavalito, el trote, las Diabladas y el baile de la bandera. Sobre las festividades Religiosas de la Zona Norte se presentan: Nuestra Señora del Rosario de las Peñas, Virgen de la Tirana, San Pedro de Atacama, Virgen de la Candelaria, Virgen de Andacollo. Se indica, la instrumentación y características principales. En las danzas de la Zona Centro se presenta cada baile con sus características; se incluye: la Mazamorra, el Sombrerito, la Sajuriana, el Pequén y la Refalosa. Entre las Danzas de la Zona Sur trataremos las de Chiloé, por sus características propias, encontramos: la Cueca Chilota, el vals chilote, la Sirilla, el Costillar, la Pericona, la Trastasera, la Nave, El Chocolate. Por último presento los bailes del extremo Sur tales como: La Ranchera, el Valse, la Polka Criolla, el Paso doble, y el Chamamé. Con una directa influencia polaca, europea, española y argentina. De este modo llego al término de la investigación de danzas folclóricas chilenas. A continuación Planteo cuales fueron las danzas seleccionadas y los instrumentos que conformarán. Entonces, la agrupación instrumental de la obra es la orquesta sinfónica, en donde se dispone de distintos instrumentos que permiten efectuar variaciones de color, registro, densidades, entre otras, en sus diferentes partes y secciones. En el capítulo 6 realizo un análisis de cada pieza, en donde se incluyen una breve descripción y análisis de la danza en la cual se basa. Y por último, se presenta la obra “Suite a la Chilena” y sus partes: Trotada, Cachimbada, Sirillada, Refalada y Tres pies de cueca.
