The analysis of Arne's six keyboard concertos uses the 1981 Oxford University Press edition of the musical scores. This edition relies totally a set of separate printed on parts that was published by Harrison & Company of London in 1793, and is the earliest known extant material for the concertos; the autograph MSS scores of Arne's concertos are not extant. The analysis first deals with Arne's general structural process, then examines the formal structure of the works in more detail, with particular attention given to the utilization of ritornello format and the influence from the Torelli-Vivaldi tradition. A discussion of the concertos' residual Baroque characteristics as well as several galant traits is included. Considerable attention is given to Arne's excellence in melodic writing, as well as to his fondness for the interval of an octave and to a particular rhythmic kernel. Also included is an analysis of a discarded movement from Concerto No. 1.The analysis of Arne's four symphonies uses the 1973 Oxford University Press edition of the musical scores. This edition relies totally on the set of printed parts from the 1767 John Johnston [London] edition, and is the earliest known extant material for the symphonies; the autograph MSS scores of Arne's symphonies are likewise lost or destroyed. As with the concertos, the analysis of the symphonies first looks at Arne's general structural procedures, then treats individual musical forms, with significant attention given to sonata form. An examination of Arne's remnant Baroque characteristics is included. As with the concertos, a substantial portion of the analysis is given to Arne's melodic writing.A short biography of Arne is included. This chapter discusses other instrumental works of Arne, as well as his more important vocal works. / School of Music

The present study is an attempt to enlarge upon the proposition that the age of Frescobaldi was, like all others, an age of transition, in his case the transition from Renaissance to Baroque. His position within this change is central, both in time and importance. In our first two chapters, the various categories of keyboard works which he enriched will be considered, with their prehistories, his contributions, and analyses of individual pieces. In chapter I the works mainly of instrumental origin will be dealt with, and in chapter ll those of more vocal derivation. In the final chapter, the information thus gleaned will be used to demonstrate his exact position within the transition, particularly with regard to its two most important aspects, the harmonic field and the interaction of vocal and instrumental elements.

Em meio a essas tensões, tendo São Paulo como foco principal das atenções do, então, Governo, encontrava-se a figura do compositor Villa-Lobos em busca de um espaço para seus projetos musicais. O primeiro Projeto que lhe foi concedido, por intermédio do interventor do Estado de São Paulo, João Alberto Lins de Barros, intitulado Excursão Artística Villa-Lobos, marcou no ano de 1931, uma nova etapa na vida de Villa-Lobos, voltado, também, para a educação musical. A Excursão proporcionou uma vivência artística única para diversas cidades interioranas, por meio de uma série de concertos de cunho didático, nos quais Villa-Lobos se apresentava com outros notáveis artistas e fazia, continuamente, sua preleção musical. Será analisado o aspecto político, cultural e administrativo deste importante evento, por meio de uma abordagem histórica com base em três fontes: a primeira, o livro de Antônio Chechim Filho, na qual foram coletadas diversas informações básicas dos respectivos eventos; a segunda fonte, o acervo do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, que foi fundamental para comparar com os fatos relatados por Chechim; a terceira fonte foi estabelecida a partir dos dados obtidos em alguns trabalhos biográficos sobre Villa-Lobos, nos quais se destacam os respectivos trabalhos de Flávia Camargo Toni, Manuel Negwer e Paulo Renato Guérios / The decade of 1930 was marred by many clashes from New State policy, established by Getúlio Vargas. Amid these tensions, and São Paulo as its main focus of attention of the then current Government, was the figure of the composer Villa-Lobos in search for a space for your music projects. The first project that has been granted, by means of the intervenor in the State of São Paulo, João Alberto Lins de Barros, entitled Excursão Artística Villa-Lobos, scored in the year 1931, a new stage in the life of Villa-Lobos, directed, too, for music education. The tour provided a unique artistic experience to several cities outside the capital cities, through a series of concerts of didactic nature, in which, Villa-Lobos, performed with other notable artists and, continually, making their musical lectures. Will be analyzed the political, cultural and administrative aspect of this important event, by means of a historical approach based on three sources: the first, the book of Antonio Chechim Filho, in which was collected several basic information of their events; the second source, the collection of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, was key to compare with the facts reported by Chechim; the third source was established, from data obtained in some biographical work about Villa-Lobos, in which the respective works of Flávia Camargo Toni, Manuel Negwer and Paulo Renato Guérios

Foram escolhidas cinco compositoras: Maria Helena Rosas Fernandes (1933), Joey de Oliveira (1936), Marisa Rezende (1944), Vânia Dantas Leite (1945) e Denise Garcia (1955). A partir da metodologia da história oral, baseada principalmente em coleta de dados, entrevistas e análise de documentos primários, juntamente com a metodologia de pesquisa de história de conteúdo, caracterizada pela pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentalmente, foram elaboradas as trajetórias de cada compositora, enfocando a composição musical em suas vidas. Trabalhamos com alguns conceitos específicos para realização das análises e da reconstrução do campo, tais como: campo e dominação masculina desenvolvidos por Pierre Bourdieu e de geração por Karl Mannhein. Procuramos compreender a maneira como essas mulheres se tomam compositoras dado uma realidade caracterizada pela quase ausência feminina nesse campo, apesar das inúmeras conquistas da mulher durante o século XX, no Brasil e no mundo / Abstract: This research aims to analyze woman inclusion in the Brazilian classical music composition field in the second half of the twentieth century, through the case investigation. Five composers were chosen: Maria Helena Rosas Fernandes (1933), Joey de Oliveira (1936), Marisa Rezende (1944), Vânia Dantas Leite (1945) and Denise Garcia (1955). From the oral history methodology, based primary in data collection, interviews and analysis of primary documentation, together with the content history research methodology, based in bibliographic research, the biographies of each composers were elaborated, focusing the musical composition in their lives. We worked with some specific concepts for the realization of the analysis and the field re-construction, such as Field and Male Domination developed by Pierre Bourdieu and Generation by Karl Mannhein. We try to understand the way this women became composers inside a reality characterized by an almost female absence in this field, spite the incalculable woman conquests through the twentieth century, in Brazil and the World / Mestrado / Musica / Mestre em Música

This study aims to provide a critique of Baroque performance practice, with specific reference to the organ Preludes and Fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach. Drawing from the extensive body of literature pertaining to Bach’s keyboard music, a number of relevant issues are explored in so far as these may provide understanding of the manner in which the organ Preludes and Fugues should be performed today. These include: • The notion of Bach’s ‘generic’ keyboard works. Were the generic keyboard works as a whole intended to be performed on more than one keyboard instrument? The instrumental designations given by Bach in these works are a valuable source of information in answering this question. • The type of organ that was known to J.S. Bach and typical registration used in the Baroque, called the plenum. • Identification of the grey area that persists in the interpretation of Bach’s organ works with regard to registration, tempo, rhythm, articulation, phrasing, fingering and ornamentation. This study also engages with the current authenticity debate in musical performance as seen from the modernist and postmodernist points of view. The modernist ideal of authenticity is to “re-create” or “reconstruct” performances of Bach’s music with as much accuracy as the evidence of historical musicologists can provide. For the postmodernist, however, authenticity lies in embracing the human element of contingency in musical performance, along with a thorough grounding of such performance in historical evidence. In aligning itself with the postmodernist point of view, this study ultimately argues that we cannot learn everything there is to know about Baroque performance practice from books. Instead, in addition to historical evidence, we draw much of our understanding in this regard from our innate or tacit levels of knowing. In this regard the scholar of Bach’s organ works can draw valuable lessons from the levels of tacit knowledge of leading organ pedagogues and performers on the subject of Baroque performance practice.

Paulus Matthysz, a prominent music printer in Amsterdam during the seventeenth century, published Jacob van Eyck's Der Fluyten Lust-hof and a collection entitled 't Uitnement Kabinet. Three extant copies of Lust-hof include a tutor Vertoninge...op de Handt-fluit, presumably by Matthysz, and a tutor by Gerband van Blanckenburgh, Onderwyzinge...op deHandt-Fluyt. Their content is not correlated with Lust-hof, and they were presumably designed for inclusion in the Kabinet II. Confusion over the tutors' conception has led to published misinformation jeopardizing their historical worth. The casual generalizations regarding the two tutors can be refuted by reestablishing the interrelationship between the tutors and the two collections. This paper employs a comprehensive study into their origins in order to rectify how the tutors are referenced in the twenty-first century.

Although Magdeburg cantor Heinrich Grimm was frequently listed among prominent musical figures of the early seventeenth century such as Heinrich Schütz, Johann Hermann Schein, and Michael Praetorius in music lexica through the nineteenth century, he has almost disappeared from modern scholarship. However, a resurgence in Grimm studies has begun in recent years, especially in the areas of biographical study and compositional output. In this study, I examine the yet unexplored music-analytic perspective by investigating the stylistic characteristics of Grimm's 1631 motet, Unser Leben wehret siebenzig Jahr'. Furthermore, I compare his compositional technique to that of his contemporaries and predecessors with the goal of examining the work from both Renaissance and Baroque perspectives.

The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate and document the compositional components and innovations in the compositional style of Jean-Michel Defaye as they relate to two of his works for solo trombone, Deux Danses (1953, trombone and piano) and Fluctuations (1980, trombone solo, six trombones and two percussionists.) This document investigates the circumstances surrounding the creation of each piece as well as the compositional processes of Monsieur Defaye. Jean-Michel Defaye is an important composer for his commitment to the quality and challenge of the trombone literature he creates. The importance of Deux Danses is in the fact that it was this piece that put Defaye in the international spotlight. Solo works with chamber ensemble, such as Fluctuations, must be more seriously considered for performance if the standard solo repertoire for trombone is to be further expanded. Jazz style is an integral part of both of these important works and a necessary component to fully realize the composer's intent. Monsieur Defaye has demonstrated a commitment to composing for the instrument over the long term and has a sustained interest in participating in the further development of serious literature for all brass instruments. This study will add to the limited published material on Defaye and is intended to further the cause of research into the works of this important composer.
