Il existe aujourd’hui dans les Pyrénées centrales françaises (65) une tradition de polyphonie chorale connue sous le terme générique de “chant montagnard“. Cette spécialité, étroitement liée à l’identité pyrénéenne, s’est maintenue dans des Sociétés plus que centenaires dont les membres ont adopté, en particulier à partir des années 1900, une posture d’orientation régionaliste à travers la promotion d’un répertoire local, en français ou en langue d’Oc. Les chanteurs de ces sociétés se présentent au public en “costume bigourdan“, inspiré du costume d’apparat des guides de haute montagne, et font ainsi référence à leur insertion dans une géographie essentiellement pastorale. Mais il se trouve que l’origine de ces Sociétés qui se réclament de leur insertion locale doit être attribuée à une impulsion venue d’ailleurs, un vaste mouvement culturel européen dont la déclinaison nationale française a produit une forme particulière, l’Orphéon. Après la Révolution française, la dissolution des maîtrises religieuses qui couvraient l’ensemble du territoire de la France provoque ce que d’aucuns décriront comme la “ruine de l’art musical“, créant une pénurie d’artistes chanteurs dans les théâtres nationaux. L’Orphéon est une réponse laïque à cette situation de carence. L’Orphéon est d’abord, à partir de 1833, un organe municipal de la ville de Paris. Réunissant les voix des enfants des écoles à celles de travailleurs adultes, ouvriers et artisans, son inventeur, Wilhem, fait entendre devant le tout Paris émerveillé des ensembles de plusieurs centaines de chanteurs qui interprètent sans accompagnement instrumental des arrangements d’œuvres du grand répertoire. En quelques années, des sociétés chorales inspirées par ce modèle se multiplient sur tout le territoire français et au-delà.Dans l’esprit de leurs initiateurs, influencés par les théories de Saint-Simon, ces sociétés chorales d’amateurs devaient permettre, en formant leurs membres à l’harmonie musicale, de les préparer à l’harmonie sociale d’un nouveau monde, industriel et démocratique.L’observation de ces Sociétés de Chanteurs Montagnards bigourdans, expression d’une tradition polyphonique locale originale mais issues en même temps d’une dynamique orphéonique nationale, permet d’alimenter la réflexion autour de notions parfois convenues qu’on exprime souvent en termes d’oppositions figées, telles que savant-populaire, oral-écrit, ouvrier-pastoral, tradition-invention, centre-périphérie, local-global, etc. / There is today in the middle of the French Pyrenees (65) a tradition of choral polyphony known under the generic term of “mountain singing”. This specialty, closely related to the Pyrenean identity is maintained in more than centenarians companies whose members, especially from the early 1900s, have adopted a posture of regionalist orientation through the promotion of a local musical repertoire, in french or language of Oc. The singers of these companies present to the public in a "bigourdan suit", inspired by the pageantry of high mountain guide costume, and so refer to their insertion in a mainly pastoral geography. But it happens that the origin of these companies who claim their local integration should be attributed to an impulse from elsewhere, from a wide European cultural movement including the French national version wich has produced a particular form, the « Orphéon ».After the French Revolution, the dissolution of the religious choirs covering the whole territory of France causes what to some will describe as the "ruin of musical art“, causing a shortage of lyric singers in the national theatres. The Orphéon is a secular response to this situation of deficiency. The Orphéon is first, from 1833, a municipal organ of the city of Paris. Bringing together the voices of children in the schools to those of adult workers and craftsmen, its inventor, Wilhem, gave to hear to all of Paris amazed ensembles of hundreds of singers together who performed without instrumental accompaniment arrangements of works of the great repertoire. In a few years, choral societies inspired by this model are multiplying throughout the french territory and beyond.In the mind of their initiators, influenced by the theories of Saint-Simon, these amateur choral societies were to allow, by training their members in musical harmony, to prepare them for social harmony for a new, industrial and democratic world. The observation of these companies of Bigorre mountain singers, expression of an original local polyphonic tradition and, at the same time, from a national orpheonic dynamic, can provide food for thought around too common concepts that are often expressed in terms of frozen oppositions like scholar-popular, oral-written, pastoral- worker, tradition-invention, center-periphery, local-global, etc.

When the Taiwanese composer, Tai-Hsiang Li received the National Cultural Award in 2013, he said, “My blood is full of music. If you take out the music from my life, I am nothing!” Tai-Hsiang Li brought contemporary music to Taiwan, combining folk music with the modern orchestra, and raising the quality of Taiwanese popular music. He almost single-handedly infused Taiwanese culture into classical, modern, popular, film, and television advertising music. His arrangements of folk music have shown the Taiwanese the beauty of their own music and inspired countless younger musicians. The music critic Chung-Heng Yang declared, “Without Tai-Hsiang Li, the music history of Taiwan will not be complete.” After the composer’s death in 2014, his life story was made public by various media, but many of the information disseminated were not accurate. Musicians have difficulties performing his works because of his constant revisions to his scores. For this thesis, I have personally interviewed the composer’s family and the Hakka singer Yu-Wei Hsieh. I investigated documents, collected Hakka mountain songs and three different editions of his Hakka-style suite Mountain and Farmland. I also investigated journal articles, newspaper articles, and read the books about the composer. In addition to presenting an updated biography of Tai-Hsiang Li’s life, I also prepare a critical performance edition of the Mountain and Farmland. It is my desire that more musicians will find interest in performing Mountain and Farmland as well as scholars doing research on Hakka music and works by Tai-Hsiang Li.

A method for tuning the spring rate and damping rate of a mountain bike suspension based on a data-driven procedure is presented. The design and development of a custom data acquisition system, known as the MTB~DAQ, capable of measuring acceleration data at the front and rear axles of a bike are discussed. These data are input into a model that is used to calculate the vertical acceleration and pitching angular acceleration response of the bike and rider. All geometric and dynamic properties of the bike and rider system are measured and built into the model. The model is tested and validated using image processing techniques. A genetic algorithm is implemented with the model and used to calculate the best spring rate and damping rate of the mountain bike suspension such that the vertical and pitching accelerations of the bike and rider are minimized for a given trail. Testing is done on a variety of different courses and the performance of the bike when tuned to the results of the genetic algorithm is discussed. While more fine tuning of the model is possible, the results show that the genetic algorithm and model accurately predict the best suspension settings for each course necessary to minimize the vertical and pitching accelerations of the bike and rider.

This thesis deals with the determination of vitamin C in different varieties of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) and mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia). The theoretical part describes the botanical characteristics of both plants, the extension in the CZ and in the world, methods of reproduction, the content of meaningful health substances and the importance of both plants in food-processing industry. Attention is paid to vitamin C, which is in their fruits in high quantity. Conclusion of the theoretical part discusses various methods of determination of vitamin C. The aim of the experimental part was to comparison of the vitamin C content in different varieties cornelian cherry and mountain ash. The chosen method for the determination of vitamin C by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was first tested on standards. Selected validation parameters of this method was then determined. Validated method was used to determine the content of vitamin C in nine varieties cornelian cherry and six varieties of the mountain ash. For comparison were also tested some samples of the determination of total vitamin C after reducing dehydroascorbic acid by using dithiothreitol (DTT).
