Orientador(a): Marcos Fernandes Pupo Nogueira / Banca: Luiz Fiaminghi / Banca: Maurício De Bonis / Resumo: O presente trabalho propõe uma abordagem teórica/analítica do conceito e aspectos estruturais de um procedimento explorado por compositores no período barroco conhecido por polifonia latente. Neste período, diversos compositores buscaram expressar uma textura polifônica em uma linha melódica única. Primeiramente, este trabalho consiste em comparar os aspectos estruturais da melodia e polifonia com os da polifonia latente, e em segundo lugar, expor, qualificar e determinar os métodos e estratégias composicionais empregados nas obras analisadas e, assim explicitar aquilo que está latente pela ocultação da multiplicidade de partes em uma linha melódica única, resultando em uma textura polifônica latente. Para o cumprimento dos objetivos propostos adotamos diferentes estudos teóricos, analíticos e históricos, dos quais destacamos Albert Bregman (1994), Alexander Ringer (2001), Allen Forte e Steven Gilbert (1982), Arnold Schoenberg (2001), Ernst Kurth (1991), e Walter Piston (1947), estes autores, entre outros, fundamentaram o desenvolvimento do trabalho e a análise das peças, Presto da Fantasia VII em Mib maior para violino desacompanhado de Telemann, e Allemande da Partita em Lá menor para flauta desacompanhada - BWV 1013 de Bach. Verificamos que a aparente melodia que se apresenta na polifonia latente possui características melódicas e polifônicas diferentes, devido a múltiplas continuidades e unidades que a caracteriza. E que, a organização vertical e horizontal explicita na...

In this period, several composers sought to express a polyphonic texture in a single melodic line. First, this work consists of comparing the structural aspects of melody and polyphony with those of latent polyphony, and secondly, exposing, qualifying and determining the compositional methods and strategies employed in the analyzed works and thus explaining what is hidden by the occultation of the multiplicity of parts in a single melodic line, resulting in a latent polyphonic texture. In order to fulfill the proposed objectives, we adopted different theoretical, analytical and historical studies, such as Albert Bregman (1994), Alexander Ringer (2001), Allen Forte and Steven Gilbert (1982), Arnold Schoenberg (2001), Ernst Kurth, and Walter Piston (1947), these authors, among others, founded the development of the work and the analysis of the pieces, Presto of Fantasia VII in Mib major for unaccompanied violin by Telemann, and Allemande of Partita in A minor for unaccompanied flute - BWV 1013 by Bach. We verified that the apparent melody that displays in the latent polyphony has different melodic and polyphonic characteristics, due to the multiple continuities and units that characterizes it. And that, the explicit vertical and horizontal organization in polyphony is condensed into a single... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

In 1960-63 populations of the song sparrow (Melospiza melodia (Wilson)) were studied on some of the islands along the Pacific Coast of southern British Columbia. The general problem was to find the factors that might be responsible for the regulation of numbers of any small passerine species. A more specific problem was to explain the extremely high population density of the song sparrows on Mandarte Island compared with densities elsewhere. Most individuals on Mandarte Island were colour marked, and changes in population density and behaviour were observed throughout the breeding season and at intervals during the rest of the year. Environmental conditions on Mandarte Island were compared with those on other islands in the area. All islands were alike in having similar weather and few predators; they differed in the kind of vegetation. The high density of the Mandarte Island population seems to have been a result of the simplicity of the habitat, which favours song sparrows and not their potential competitors, and of the adaptability of song sparrows in utilizing common feeding grounds in undefended areas outside their usual habitat. The critical period in the regulation of numbers was the autumnal territorialism, when increased territorial activities resulted in heavy losses and emigration of the young to areas with lower densities. / Science, Faculty of / Zoology, Department of / Graduate

Trata-se de investigar o caráter ambivalente da música na teoria de Jean-Jacques Rousseau. O filósofo defende, ao mesmo tempo, os traços naturais da sinfonia, que lhe concedem o acento enérgico responsável por movimentar os sentimentos do ouvinte, e os aspectos artificiais que a constituem, resultantes da moralidade necessária para que a música seja de fato expressiva. Essa conciliação entre os elementos racional (harmonia) e patético (melodia) reforça o combate do filósofo genebrino contra a teoria ramista. / The purpose of this masters thesis is to investigate the ambivalence of music in Jean-Jacques Rousseau\'s theory. The philosopher argues, at the same time, about the natural features of the symphony, which give it the energetic accent responsible for moving the feelings of the listener, and about the artificial aspects that are resulting from morality required for music to be significant indeed. This reconciliation between the rational elements (harmony) and pathetic (melody) strengthens the combat against Rameaus theory.

O presente estudo procura reconstituir o sistema de categorias da melodia tonal a partir da investigação de algumas propriedades comuns ao aparelho fonador humano e aos instrumentos musicais reais e virtuais. Analisando essas propriedades à luz da teoria Glossemática (Hjelmslev, 1975) e da fonologia prosódica (Nespor & Vogel, 1986), a investigação chegou aos seguintes resultados: (I) dado que o sistema musical e o sistema fonológico possuem categorias comuns, pode-se sustentar a existência de um parentesco genético entre expressão verbal e expressão musical; (II) os sistemas apresentam orientações opostas: no sistema fonológico das línguas naturais, a categoria dos segmentos (ou constituintes) é relativamente expandida, enquanto a categoria dos suprasegmentos (ou caracterizantes) é concentrada. Inversamente, no sistema da melodia tonal é a categoria dos suprasegmentos que é relativamente expandida, enquanto a categoria dos segmentos é concentrada, (III) o efeito de sentido característico da melodia tonal é fruto de uma configuração sintagmática de suprasegmentos(cronemas, tonemas e dinamenas) hierarquicamente organizados; (IV) outras categorias do sistema melódico (andamento, dinâmica e timbre) ocupam um papel à parte ne hieraquia melódica e são as principais responsáveis pelas marcas deixadas no enunciado pela instância intérprete do sujeito da enunciação. / This work aims to discuss the tonal melodic system of categories by investigating some of the properties that are common to both the human vocal tract and to musical instruments - real or virtual. The analysis of these properties from the standpoint of the Glossematics theory (Hjelmslev, 1975) and of the prosodic phonology (Nespor & Vogel, 1986) led us to the following results: (I) because the music system and the phonological system comprise common categories it is possible to establish a genetic kinship between verbal and musical expression; (II) both systems present opposite properties: in the phonological system of natural languages the segmental categories (or constitutives) are relatively expanded whereas the suprasegmental categories (or characterizers) are concentrated. Conversely, in the tonal melodic system the suprasegmental categories are the ones that are relatively expanded whereas the segmental categories are concentrated; (III) the characteristic meaning effect of tonal melodies comes as a result of a hierarchly structured syntagmatic configuration of suprasegments (chronemes, tonemes, dynamenes); (IV) other categories of the melodic system (tempo, dynamics, timbre) play a distinct role in the melodic hierarchy and are the main responsible for the marks left on the text by the performer instance of the enunciation subject.

Este trabalho apresenta uma reflexão acerca da natureza da entoação e de seu papel no funcionamento e no uso da linguagem, numa perspectiva interdisciplinar que traz para a discussão as contribuições de outras áreas do conhecimento que de uma maneira ou de outra se relacionam com a expressão na fala, seja por seus aspectos físicos, acústicos, seja por seus aspectos funcionais. Apresentamos evidências e argumentos que colocam a entoação como um fator primário na comunicação linguística que tem um papel fundamental na organização e transferência da informação de um sujeito a outro, tanto do ponto de vista da produção como da recepção. A tese aqui defendida é a de que a intenção comunicativa do falante o modo como este usa a linguagem enquanto ação junto a outros seres humanos é que determina a configuração melódica, precedendo a seleção e combinação dos constituintes do enunciado. Partimos da consideração da situação atual dos estudos prosódicos com respeito à entoação que encontramos descrita em Ladd (1996), Hirst e DiCristo (1998) e Fox (2000), entre outros, e apontamos alguns dos seus principais impasses e as questões epistemológicas relacionadas. Em seguida apresentamos as perspectivas de outras áreas de fora da linguística que direta ou indiretamente se reportam à entoação, seja como intenção, como é o caso da filosofia da linguagem, a sociologia, e a teoria literária, seja como melodia nas fronteiras do fazer teatral e da prática musical. Encontramos aí aproximações significativas entre as noções de estilo e gênero do discurso e a noção de intenção comunicativa que questionam a possibilidade de uma separação estanque entre o uso prático e o uso poético, musical, artístico da linguagem. Essa constatação nos levou a considerar uma grande categoria da atividade humana que denominamos práxis vocal que inclui, além da fala e do canto mais convencionais, formas intermediárias tais como narrativas orais, chamados, pregões, discursos políticos, declamações artísticas e religiosas como o recitativo e o salmodiar, entre outras. Estas formas empregam a modulação da frequência fundamental da voz de maneiras muito particulares e podem ser situadas na fronteira entre a linguagem e a música. Empreendemos, por isso, uma investigação acerca das relações, semelhanças e diferenças entre música e linguagem. Desta aproximação surgiu uma das ideias centrais desta tese, que é a relação entre estilo melódico e gênero de discurso nas manifestações orais. Percebemos que a realização de uma intenção comunicativa, seja numa fala espontânea, num discurso ou numa canção, começa com a escolha do gênero mais adequado à expressão do conteúdo desejado, e a partir dessa escolha é que fica determinado o estilo, que corresponde às regras de elaboração do discurso (linguístico, musical ou híbrido). A violação dessas regras que observamos quando há inconsistências melódicas na fala decorada, por exemplo, são decorrentes da necessidade de se criar uma melodia a partir de um texto já dado, fato que não acontece na fala espontânea. / This work presents a reflection about the nature of intonation, and about its role in how language works and it is used, within a interdisciplinary perspective that brings contributions from other areas that, in a way or another, relate to the issue of expression in speech, whether by its physical, acoustic features or by its functional aspects. We present evidences that show intonation as a primary factor in linguistic communication, having a fundamental role in organising and transferring information from one subject to another, from the point of view of production as well as perception. The main reasoning is that the communicative intention of the speaker - the way he uses languages as an action toward other human beings - determines the melodic configuration, that preceding selection and combination of the utterance contituents. Considering the recent development of investigation of prosody as it is described in Ladd (1996), Hirst e DiCristo (1998) and Fox (2000), among others, we show some of its hindrances and the epistemological issues related to them. Following that, we present perspectives brought from other areas outside linguistics that in a direct or indirect manner relate to the issues around intonation, whether as the speaker\'s intention, as we see in the field of philosophy of language, sociology and literary theory, or as a melodic elaboration in theater and musical practices. Within these new perspectives we found out striking similarities between the concepts of style and speech genre and the idea of communicative intention, that dispute a clear distinction of the practical use of language from its poetic, musical, artistic use. This remark have led us to consider a grand category of human activity that we named vocal praxis, including, besides ordinary speech and song, intermediate forms as those found in oral narratives, callings, auctioneering, political discourses and artistic declamation such as the recitative and chant. These forms employ the modulation of the fundamental frequency of the voice in very peculiar ways, and they may be situated close to the boundaries of speech and song. For that reason we endeavoured an inquiry on relationships, similarities and differences between music and language, This approximation produced one of the central ideas of this thesis, i.e. the connection of melodic style and speech genre along the continuum of vocal (oral) manifestations. We realized that the actualization of a communicative intention, whether in spontaneous speech, in a political discourse or in a song, begins with the choice of the adequate genre to the desired expression of the content; after this choice the style is determined, leading to the rules of elaboration of the particular discourse (linguistic, musical or hybrid). The violation of these rules, that we observe as melodic incoherences when someone speaks something by heart or reading aloud, are the consequence of an artificial situation that demands creating a new melody to a given text, which doesn\'t happen in spontaneous speech.

As relações entre melodia e letra são tomadas como ponto de partida para a interpretação das canções de Paulinho da Viola, um dos maiores sambistas de todos os tempos. Sua obra é analisada nos aspectos estético e sociológico, sendo vista como parte da presença histórica da arte negra na canção popular brasileira. / The relationships between melody and lyric are interpreted in Paulinho da Viola`s songs, one of the best composers of samba music. His musical work is studied on aesthetic and social aspects as part of black presence in the Brazilian popular song.

Islands are valuable research systems for evolution and conservation, but most work has focused on oceanic islands. Far less study has occurred on near-shore islands where inter-island and island-mainland dispersal is an important microevolutionary process. Further studies in near-shore systems would aid the expansion of island evolutionary theory and conservation initiatives. In this thesis, I studied populations of Song Sparrows (Melospiza melodia) on near-shore islands along the Pacific coast of North America to examine the causes and consequences of dispersal for microevolutionary and ecological processes. Within an island metapopulation, where inter-island distances ranged from 200m to 2km, male and female immigration rates were influenced by adult density and sex ratio respectively, suggesting that intrasexual territoriality influences immigration. Islands differed in immigration levels, with low immigration and high resident recruitment on more isolated islands. I next examine genetic structuring at a larger spatial scale (0-300km). I found that the scale of genetic structuring within continuously distributed populations was less than 10km, suggesting that Song Sparrows are a sedentary passerine. Regional comparisons revealed that holding geographic distance constant, larger genetic distances occur in areas located at subspecific boundaries or across water barriers. The apparent reduction in dispersal to islands had broad-scale consequences. Across Pacific Coast islands, island populations consistently had lower genetic variation than mainland populations. Small and remote island populations tended to have the lowest genetic variation. From an in situ conservation stance, populations on large, remote islands could be important contributors to intraspecific genetic diversity because of high genetic differentiation. Finally, I link genetic structuring with contemporary dispersal and show that migration rates among the Channel Islands are low, suggesting that these islands are demographically independent. The absence of shared mtDNA haplotypes between extant and extinct populations suggests that inter-island migration was historically low, potentially explaining why the two extirpated islands have not been recolonized. Collectively, my thesis results increase our understanding of the mechanisms of divergence on insular populations by examining factors affecting dispersal, the spatial scale of divergence and estimating the consequences of reduced gene flow on islands for broad-scale patterns of genetic variation, microevolution and demographic stability.

Este trabalho trata do processo de digitação para violão da Ciaccona BWV 1004 (original para violino) de Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). O objetivo foi desenvolver uma digitação de mão esquerda capaz de refletir as intenções musicais do presente autor. Para tal, foi estabelecido um modelo de análise, onde a textura musical é dividida e classificada, com base em referenciais teóricos, como: melódica, harmônica, motívica e polifônica. Ao analisar as digitações usadas em transcrições, e compará-las às desta pesquisa, concluímos que se pode ter autonomia para contestar uma digitação grafada, pois ela reflete nada mais que as decisões do seu autor, sejam musicais ou técnicas. A partir disto, podemos deduzir que elas se alteram conforme as nossas próprias decisões. / This work deals with the process of elaborating guitar fingerings for J. S. Bach’s Ciaccona BWV 1004 (original for violin). The aim was to develop a left hand fingering able to reflect the musical intentions of the present author. To this end, a model of analysis was established, in which the musical texture is divided and classified, based on theoretical references, into the following categories: melodic, harmonic, motivic and polyphonic. By analyzing the fingering used on transcriptions, and comparing it with the results of this research, we conclude that we can question a suggested fingering, because it reflects nothing more than the decisions of its author, whether musical or technical. From this we can deduce that they change according to our own decisions.
