223	General Process in the Creation of Estruendos and Principal Structural Elements of the Composition Cuellar Camargo, Lucio Edilberto 05 1900 (has links) My composition, Estruendos, is a work for large symphonic orchestra, guitar and computer-generated and processed sounds on CD. The work lasts 23 minutes and 45 seconds. My dissertation is composed of two parts: Part One comprises the analysis and Part Two comprises the score. Part One gives a brief background of my compositional dialect and aesthetics. It also includes a discussion of the compositional process and general overview of Estruendos. In addition, it illustrates the primary role the placement of sonic events in time and timbral structure play in the pathos of Estruendos. Estruendos musical composition
224	Impressionistic keys : Composing idiomatic music for the guitar using impressionistic key features Frode, Cim January 2022 (has links) This master thesis has two main objectives, the first is to develop a list of impressionistic key features and the second is to apply those key features when writing idiomatic music for the guitar. The composers of the impressionist era tried to capture the sense of an emotion through the musical language, something this master thesis investigates further. During the process of gathering information about impressionistic key features, I found important building blocks that made me aware of the impressionistic musical language. The four methods I used were arranging and analyzing sheet music, interviews with composers, literature studies and video interpretation. When I found enough material, I started to write music using the impressionistic key features. It resulted in three impressionistic sounding pieces. The pieces are presented with sheet music and an audio recording. As a reader and musician, one can gain knowledge about the impressionistic sound, how to write idiomatic music for the guitar and methods how one can intertwine these two subjects. The discussion part of the thesis addresses problems I struggled with during the process and how I could move away from these difficulties using composing methods and utilizing the impressionistic key features in a creative manor.

225	Komposition med hjälp av melodier : Metodiska hjälpmedel för att komponera Nilsson, Oskar January 2021 (has links) In this thesis, I have investigated how to work creatively with melodies in the process of composing music. The starting point of the project was to transcribe phrases from different solos and to be assigned with newly composed ones from musicians around me. The melodies were applied to different composing methods. The methods were there to have a way of making music of the melodies and to put them in a context. The purpose of the work was to investigate how the use of these melodies and melody-based methods were affecting my composing. How could I create new musical possibilities in my composing by working like this? How could I in the process use the knowledge to develop harmonic possibilities and concepts on my main instrument? The work resulted in four newly composed pieces and concepts in how to improvise with melodies. I made the conclusions that the combination of variation, patience and a non-valuable working environment was a fruitful way to stay inspirated and creative. / <p>Medverkande musiker:</p><p>Joanné Nugas - sång</p><p>Malte Bergman Byström - bas</p><p>Noa Svensson - trummor</p><p>Björn Eriksson - piano</p><p>Oskar Nilsson - gitarr</p><p>Ebba Åsman - trombon</p><p>Björn-Atle Anfinsen - trumpet</p> Composition Jazz Guitar Melodies Harmonisation Improvisation Creativity Inspiration Music Musik
226	Drawing From the Source : Gaining improvisational language through transcription Ingólfsson, Bjarni January 2022 (has links) In this thesis transcriptions of solos from selected musicians are explored as a way to deepen my connection with improvisation and my instrument. It is about a number of different philosophies towards transcribing and working with transcriptions, as well as my reflections on ways to utilize transcriptions in a way that I can absorb the concepts and language from solos without regurgitating it in my own playing, but rather attempting to utilize it to explore ways to expand my playing and conception of improvisational language as well as my own instrument.

227	The Identification of Resonant Frequencies Emitted by Violins and Flat Top Guitars. Vlcek, Robert John 19 August 2009 (has links) (PDF) This research identifies the resonant frequencies emitted by 2 types of stringed instruments, violins and guitars, in a definitive way that provides measured data for results. A resonance testing apparatus designed to support the instruments for testing, produce forced vibrations of precise period and amplitude to excite an instrument, and acquire measured data was used to perform the testing for this research. The output of this research presents a tabulation of the resonant frequencies and their amplitude that correlates the resonant frequencies below 1000 Hz pictorially to a location on the top plate of the instrument that represents the most significant displacement. The outcome of this research supports the viability of this method with opportunities for further research to focus on improved construction techniques, areas of a completed system that can be manipulated to improve tonal quality, or methods of manipulation that have previously not been explored.

228	Turn It Up to Eleven: A Study of Guitar Hero and RockBand: Why People Play Them and How Marketers Can Use This Information Hemingway, Timothy J. 21 April 2010 (has links) (PDF) This thesis seeks to first understand why individuals play Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Several motivational factors are looked at including fantasy, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and the desire to play a real instrument. In addition to the motivation factors, the communication theories of uses and gratifications and deficient self-regulation are used to define the gamers who play Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Once the paper defines a theoretical framework, a survey is used to test the variables. The significant findings are then discussed and suggestions are made as to how these games can more effectively be used as marketing tools for guitar manufacturers and music companies.

229	Transcribing from the Baroque Guitar to the Classical Guitar: A Critical Edition of François Campion's (c1685-1747) Sonatina in D Major Torres, Héctor Alfonso 08 1900 (has links) The main purpose of this dissertation is to offer a modern transcription and critical edition of François Campion's Sonatina in D Major, found in his Piéces de Guitare du S.r Campion from 1748. Since it is not a common practice for the modern classical guitarist to study the baroque guitar and all its idiosyncrasies, this transcription from French tablature into modern notation will make this piece accessible to all classical guitar players. Using his sonatina as an example, this dissertation covers the process of transcribing baroque guitar French tablature while emphasizing a practical performance approach that suits the classical guitar. This approach includes examining tuning differences, suggested transposed notes, ornamental interpretation, and the overall differences in performance practice between both instruments. Not much is known about Campion's life (c1685-1747), but his importance as a musician in France during the early eighteenth century is evidenced by his publications and his accounts as a theorbo and baroque guitar player for the orchestra of the opera company L'Académie Royale de Musique, for which he was employed from 1703 until 1719. Unfortunately, while this music is fairly known and usually performed by early music specialists, it is ignored by modern guitarists, mainly because of the lack of modern transcriptions. This sonatina serves as an original critical edition adaptation for the classical guitar. baroque guitar classical guitar guitar François Campion Campion sonatina critical edition French tablature tablature modern notation staff notation tuning interpretation performance practice Music -- 18th century.

230	Exploring the Hidden Resources of the Classical Guitar : An Inquiry into Techniques to Enhance the Range and the Chordal Possibilities of the Instrument for Compositional Purposes. / Utforskning av de dolda resurserna hos den klassiska gitarren : En undersökning av tekniker för att öka instrumentets omfång och ackordsmöjligheter för kompositionsändamål. Persson, Carl Federico January 2023 (has links) In this paper, the limitations of the six-string classical guitar in terms of chordal possibilities and range are discussed, and ways are presented to overcome those limitations. The study describes some of the problems and limitations that the author experiences when composing for the instrument he plays. Moreover, some solutions that partly overcome these issues are presented and discussed. The presented solutions are drawn from the literature as well as developed through personal insights. In addition, conclusions regarding the practical usage of the presented solutions are drawn from the personal experiences of the author when incorporating them in two short compositions composed for this specific study. classical guitar chord voicings range composition Music Musik
