THE FLUTE AND GUITAR DUO: THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EQUAL PARTNERSHIP By Lisa Marie Schroeder December 2015 The 21st century flute and guitar duo literature contains equal parts of intricate melodic and harmonic content, challenging both players with standard and contemporary techniques. In the past, beginning with the late seventeen hundreds, the repertoire for this combination consisted of simple flute melodies and sparse, accompanimental guitar parts. When did an equal partnership begin developing between the instruments and how are professional duos guiding this change? For the research of this document, a survey was drafted and sent to 104 professional flute and guitar duos around the globe, resulting in 51 duos completing and returning the questionnaire. Of the 51 duos that returned the survey, 48 duos qualified as professional and three duos were disqualified. The general consensus reached is that the flute and guitar duo has developed into an equal partnership in the last 30 years, accomplished through music with more substantial parts for both instruments, beginning with the legendary Histoire du Tango by Ástor Piazzolla. My hope is that those who read this document will understand the need for more flute and guitar music containing equal parts, thus inspiring commissions. I hope, too, that the lists of pieces revealed by seasoned flute and guitar duos (located in Appendix B and C), will be a useful tool for all flute and guitar duos, especially those starting out in the genre. This document is essential to the university flute and guitar studios and beginning duos in selecting pieces in which both performers will learn and grow as instrumentalists and chamber musicians.

abstract: The purpose of this project is to introduce Bryan Johanson's composition for two guitars, 13 Ways of Looking at 12 Strings, and present an authoritative recording appropriate for publishing. This fifty-minute piece represents a fascinating suite in thirteen movements. The author of this project performed both guitar parts, recorded them separately in a music studio, then mixed them together into one recording. This document focuses on the critical investigation and description of the piece with a brief theoretical analysis, a discussion of performance difficulties, and guitar preparation. The composer approved the use and the scope of this project. Bryan Johanson is one of the leading contemporary composers for the guitar today. 13 Ways of Looking at 12 Strings is a unique guitar dictionary that takes us from Bach to Hendrix and highlights the unique capabilities of the instrument. It utilizes encoded messages, glass slides, metal mutes, explosive "riffs," rhythmic propulsion, improvisation, percussion, fugual writing, and much more. It has a great potential to make the classical guitar attractive to wider audiences, not limited only to guitarists and musicians. The main resources employed in researching this document are existing recordings of Johanson's other compositions and documentation of his personal views and ideas. This written document uses the composer's prolific and eclectic compositional output in order to draw conclusions and trace motifs. This project is a significant and original contribution in expanding the guitar's repertoire, and it uniquely contributes to bringing forth a significant piece of music. / Dissertation/Thesis / Recording of movement 1: Toccataesque mp3 / Recording of movement 2: Bad Egg Cafe mp3 / Recording of movement 6: Strings Etouffee mp3 / Recording of movement 7: Steel Pans mp3 / Recording of movement 8: Slide Rule mp3 / Recording of movement 10: EGAD! mp3 / Recording of movement 13: Jammus Vulgaris mp3 / D.M.A. Music 2011

This association has been frequently seen in adults, adolescents, school children and preschoolers. The impact of dental caries in the quality of life of babies still unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different stages of progression of dental caries in the quality of life of babies and their families in Diamantina, Minas Gerais. A sample of 308 babies aged 1-3 years old underwent a clinical examination to assess dental caries through the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). Parents of babies were asked to answer two questionnaires: one about oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children and their families using the Brazilian Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) and another about sociodemographic characteristics and conditions of babies and their families. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS - Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS for Windows, version 20.0, SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA) and involved descriptive analysis, Kappa, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test and Poisson model regression adjusted hierarchically. The prevalence of untreated dental caries was 64.3%. Most babies with caries had caries in severe progression stage (53.5%). There was a significant difference between the stage of caries progression and OHRQoL on babies and their families. Severe stage of dental caries [OR = 2.80 95% CI (1.90-4.12)] and lower mother's age [OR = 1.69 95% CI (1:27 to 2:25) were associated with the greatest impact on quality of life. It was concluded that dental caries in more advanced stages of progression were associated with worse quality of life in babies and their families.

It is presented a bibliographical review about the subject in which is done the theoretical and methodological foundation of the whole investigative process. The analyzed universe comprises a sample of mortar to the grouting of conventional ceramic plates type II (reference sample) and five more samples to the grouting of ceramic plates type II, which were made up of the addition of unusable tire rubber powder in the respective proportion (in mass) of 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% and 20%. These mortar samples were subject to the trials of determination of the consistency index (Brazilian Standard NBR 13276:2005), water retention ( Brazilian Standard NBR 14992 Attachment B:2003), permeability in 240 minutes (Brazilian Standard NBR 14992 Attachment G:2003), absorption of water by immersion (Brazilian Standard NBR 9781:2013), resistance to compression (Brazilian Standard NBR14992 Attachment D: 2003), resistance to traction in the flexion (Brazilian Standard NBR 13279:2005), resistance of traction adherence (Brazilian Standard NBR 14081 part 4:2012) and hardened mass density (Brazilian Standard NBR 13280: 2005). It has been found out from the analyzes of the results in the trial the following situation: the reference mortar used met the established requirements in the norms of specifications corresponding to only six from the eight parameters assessed in the research; the mortar with addition of 4,0% of tire rubber powder met the established requirements corresponding to only the resistance to compression and the resistance of adherence to traction. Thus, the other kinds of mortar with addition of 8,0 %, 12,0 %, 16,0 % and 20,0 % of tire rubber powder met the requirements of specifications corresponding to only the resistance to compression and the resistance of adherence to traction. This result concludes that the adding of tire rubber powder does not grant improvement to the mortar of type II grouting to the laying of ceramic plates.

Ao extrair esse material do mineral bruto, toneladas de res?duos s?o geradas e estocadas no meio ambiente. Com isso, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o uso do res?duo de scheelita em substitui??o a areia na formula??o de argamassas de revestimento, devido ?s suas caracter?sticas favor?veis. Foram coletadas amostras do res?duo da scheelita na mina Breju?, Munic?pio de Currais Novos/RN, e ap?s sua caracteriza??o inicial, observou-se a aplica??o do res?duo grosso nas argamassas em estudo. Foram preparadas argamassas de tra?os, 1:1:6 e 1:3, ambos em volume, com percentuais de 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% e 100% de substitui??o da areia pelo res?duo grosso de scheelita. Utilizou-se o cimento Portland CP II-Z 32 e a cal hidratada CH-I, com fator ?gua/cimento entre 0,16 e 0,18 para uma consist?ncia de 260 ? 5mm. Posteriormente as argamassas foram analisadas no estado fresco atrav?s dos ensaios de consist?ncia, densidade de massa, reten??o de ?gua e teor de ar incorporado e no estado endurecido atrav?s dos ensaios de resist?ncia ? compress?o e ? tra??o na flex?o, densidade de massa, absor??o de ?gua por imers?o, absor??o de ?gua por capilaridade e m?dulo de elasticidade din?mico. Os resultados encontrados demonstram uma razo?vel melhoria nas propriedades de resist?ncia mec?nica, m?dulo de elasticidade din?mico e reten??o de ?gua das argamassas produzidas com res?duo da scheelita. No entanto, algumas propriedades como a densidade de massa, absor??o de ?gua por imers?o e por capilaridade apresentaram resultados acima do que foi encontrado para as argamassas de refer?ncia, ocasionando argamassas com maior peso, menor trabalhabilidade e maior absor??o de ?gua que as argamassas de refer?ncia. / The state of Rio Grande do Norte has a large concentration of scheelite, the main source of tungsten, an important chemical element for production in various industries. When extracting the raw mineral material, tons of residue are generated and lunges in the environment. This work aims to analyze the use of this residue as a substitute for sand in the formulation of coating mortars. Scheelite residue samples were collected in Breju? mine, Currais Novos/RN, and after its initial characterization, it was observed the application of the thick residue in the mortars in study. Were analyzed mixing mortars by 1:1:6 (cement:lime:sand) and 1:3 (cement:sand), both in volume with percentages of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the sand replaced by scheelite thick residue. It was used Portland cement CP II-Z 32 and CH-I hydrated lime with ratio water/cement between 0.18 to 0.16 and a consistency of 260 ? 5mm. Subsequently, the mortars were analyzed in the fresh state through the consistency testing, bulk density, water retention and incorporated air content and in the hardened state by the compressive strength test and tensile strength in bending, bulk density, water absorption by immersion, water absorption by capillary and dynamic modulus of elasticity. The experiments of initial characterization of the residue showed that the natural thick residue has a granulometric distribution very close to the natural sand, has a larger amount of fines and a specific mass higher than natural sand, which resulted to an improvement in mechanical resistance and dynamic modulus of elasticity. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzes indicated a pozzolanic propensity of the scheelite residue, but the minimum parameters according to NBR 12653 (2014) to be classified as pozzolanic material were not achieved. In the fresh state, the mortars have improved water retention, allowing greater retention of kneading water. The bulk density presented higher results (about 5% higher) and the incorporated air content, smaller (about 2% lower) in relation to the reference mortar, resulting in dense mortars with less workability, compensated because the natural thick residue had a higher content of fines than sand. In the hardened state, the mechanical resistances recorded higher results. The best results for mortars with 100% replacement of the natural aggregate by residue and trace of 1:3. The bulk density in the hardened state kept the bulk density pattern fresh. And the water absorption by both immersion and capillarity were predominantly larger than the reference mortar. In this way, it is possible to affirm that the residue from the extraction of the scheelite is suitable for use in the manufacture of conventional mortars.

This study’s objective was to evaluate repetitive firing cycles’ effects on the translucency, light’s absorption coefficient, and flexural strength of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics. Two zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics and one lithium disilicate glass-ceramic were tested. Blocks of all materials were sectioned into tiles with different thicknesses and subjected to up to five firing cycles using the firing schedule indicated in the manufacturer’s user instructions. Light transmission ratio (T) and absorption coefficients were determined using a spectrophotometer. Further, bars were sectioned from blocks of all materials and tested for three-point-bend flexural strength using a Universal Testing Machine (Instron), and flexural strength was calculated from load at failure. Factorial ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD tests were conducted to analyze light transmission and flexural strength, while regression was used to analyze the absorption coefficient. Weibull parameters and fractographic analysis also were investigated. The results showed that repetitive firing cycles reduced e.max® and Vita Suprinity’s® translucency, but not that of Celtra® Duo, which showed no significant difference. All materials of greater thickness exhibited less translucency, and e.max® CAD had the highest mean light transmission; however, it was not significantly different than Celtra® Duo. Repetitive firing cycles showed more absorption coefficient of light with Vita Suprinity® and e.max®, except for Celtra® Duo, which showed no difference. Vita Suprinity® showed the highest absorption coefficient; however, it was not significantly different than e.max® CAD. Repetitive firing cycles had no significant effect on flexural strength. High and low flexural strength samples for all materials showed similar characteristics with respect to crack propagation patterns, and fracture origins. In conclusion, repetitive firing cycles decreased both e.max® and Vita Suprinity’s® translucency significantly. Repetitive firing cycles increased e.max® and Vita Suprinity’s® absorption coefficient significantly, particularly at shorter wavelengths. Repetitive firing cycles did not increase flexural strength statistically significantly. Vita Suprinity® showed an inherent and more homogeneous flaw-distribution in the first two firing cycles compared to the distribution of flaws in the other two materials.

Die Sieben kleinen Stücke für zwei Celli (1988) entstanden auf Anregung zweier Studierender der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover nach Beendigung des Kompositionsstudiums bei Ulrich Leyendecker in Hamburg. Während Matthias Drude dort vor allem größere, meist einsätzige Formen geschaffen hatte (z. B. als Diplomarbeit die „Variationen für Orchester“) kehrte er mit den Miniaturen sehr bewusst wieder zu der Anregung seines ersten Lehrers Diether de la Motte (damals Hannover) zurück, in kurzen Skizzen ganz unterschiedliche Dinge auszuprobieren, insbesondere auch eine Einarbeitung in den Streichersatz. Für seinen weiteren Weg blieben diese Stücke eher eine Ausnahme.
