Gustav Holst's one-act opera Sāvitri (1908-9) represents a turning point in his compositional style, which came at a significant time in British history. Holst combines a simpler style informed by his work with English folksong with the Wagnerian style that permeated his earlier compositions. Although influenced by a British imperialist view of the world, Sāvitri renders Hindu-Indian culture in positive terms without relying on the purely exotic, offers a perspective on gender relationships that does not depend solely on convention, and presents the commoner as the British ideal rather than romanticizing the aristocracy. The result is an opera subtle in its complexity, approaching the profound themes of love, death, and spirituality with emotional restraint and self-control.

Um termo de acoplamento quadri-fermiônico emerge naturalmente após usar a relação entre torção e matéria, conforme resultados obtidos previamente por Perez e Rovelli. O coeficiente desse acoplamento possui uma relação direta com o parâmetro de Barbero-Immirzi (BI), presente na ação de Holst.

Para o caso massivo, é possível descrever uma fase inflacionária com w =−1 ou w = 1 para um Universo jovem. Estudamos também o acoplamento entre gravitação, férmions e torção com um fluido de spin (fluido de Weyssenhoff). Mostramos uma ação equivalente em termos da interação quadri-fermiônica, um termo apenas de interação entre o tensor de spin, mais um termo de interação entre férmions e o tensor de spin, todos eles em função do parâmetro (BI). O termo de interação entre o fluido de spin e a corrente fermiônica representa um novo ponto de partida para a descrição de soluções cosmológicas. / In this work we present the Einstein-Cartan theory by means of Holst action with Dirac fields description minimally coupled to curvature and torsion. The coupling term four-fermion emerges after using the relationship between the torsion and source of matter, previously calculated by Perez and Rovelli. The coupling constant is related to the Barbero-Immirzi (BI) parameter, which emerges from the Holst action. We investigate cosmological solutions in the standard Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model. Whe show in the massless case that the equation of state describes a perfect fluid with p = wρ, with w = 1. For the massive case, is possible to describe an inflationary phase with w = 1 for early universe. We study also the coupling between fermions and gravitation with torsion in the presence of spin fluid (Weyssenhofffluid),andweshowtheequivalentactionwithfour-fermioninteraction,atermof self-interaction of the spin fluid and a interaction term between fermionic field and spin fluid.

Master of Music / Department of Music / Frank C. Tracz / This document was submitted to the Graduate School of Kansas State University as a partial requirement for the Master’s of Music Education degree. It contains the historical, theoretical, performance, and rehearsal consideration, for each of the three pieces that were performed on the Graduate Student Conducting Recital on Wednesday, March 12, 2010. Selections performed on the recital included in the document’s analysis portion include First Suite in E Flat by Gustav Holst, Japanese Overture by Ney Rosauro, and Inferno by Daniel Bukvich. The analysis format for this report is based on the Blocker/Miles Unit Study technique found in the Teaching Music through Performance in Band series, as well as the Tracz concept of macro-micro score analysis. The performances of the Kansas State University Wind Ensemble served as the basis for the technical, musical, and stylistic evaluations and analysis.

From Verantwoording: By die ondersoek na die rol wat die aktualiteit in die poësie van A. Roland Holst speel, wou ons veral nagaan of die gedigte waarin elemente van die aktualiteit aanwesig is, in wese van sy orige werk verskil. Hoofstuk II, “Teen die Wereld” gaan veral sover dit die inhoud betref, op hierdie vraag in. In die derde en vierde hoofstukke is na aanleiding van ‘n aantal verteenwoordigende gedigte getrag om meer in besonderhede, en ook wat die vorm aangaan, die saak van nader te beskou, en die resultate van die ondersoek is in die Slotbeskouing saamgevat.

No primeiro capítulo é apresentada a evolução das bandas militares inglesas até o início do século XX, período da composição da peça. O segundo capítulo mostra a relação do compositor com as bandas militares e como esta composição influenciou todo o repertório de Banda Sinfônica. A análise musical é o tema do terceiro capítulo, que traz a discussão sobre o termo chaconne, além de análises temática, formal, harmônica, de texturas e rítmica. No quarto capítulo são apresentadas questões interpretativas que dizem respeito a edições da partitura, ajustes e soluções para diferentes possibilidades de numerário instrumental, bem como sugestões metronômicas, questões expressivas e disposição dos naipes da banda para a interpretação da obra estudada. O presente estudo poderá também servir de modelo sugestivo ao regente de Banda Sinfônica no preparo interpretativo de obras para esta formação / Abstract: This study's main objective is to present interpretive aspects concerning to the preparation, by the conductor, of the First Suite in Eb op. 28 No. 1 by Gustav Holst, through a process that includes: historical background of either work and composer, musical analysis and interpretive proposals. The first chapter presents the evolution of British military bands until early twentieth century, when the piece was composed. The second chapter shows the composer's relationship with military bands and how this composition has influenced the whole Symphonic Band repertoire. Musical analysis is the theme of the third chapter, which brings up a discussion about the term chaconne, it also presents thematic, formal, harmonic, textural and rhythmic analysis. The fourth chapter presents interpretive issues concerning score editions, adjustments and solutions for different possibilities in instrumental settings, as well as metronome suggestions, expressive issues and band seating arrangements. This study may also provide suggested model for the Symphonic Band conductor for preparation of works for this medium / Mestrado / Praticas Interpretativas / Mestre em Música
