O Presente trabalho é o estudo das funcionalidades de um descritor e sua aplicabilidade em análise musical tendo como ponto de partida a obra a Ladainha de Nossa Senhora de Faustino Xavier do Prado. Utilizaremos os intervalos melódicos existentes na Ladainha como padrões para verificar similaridades nos contextos; Brasil, Itália e Portugal. Utilizaremos como ferramenta de busca de padrões o software MelodicMatch e desenvolveremos um software para tratar os resultados obtidos organizando-os em uma proposta metodológica que estará descrita na própria aplicação. / The present work is the study of the features of a descriptor and its use in musical analysis taking as its starting point the work of the Ladainha de Nossa Senhora - Faustino Xavier del Prado. We will use existing melodic intervals in the Ladainha as standards for checking similarities in the contexts; Brazil, Italy and Portugal. We will use as standards search tool MelodicMatch the software and develop software to handle the results organizing them into a methodology that will be described in the application itself.

Esta pesquisa pretende demonstrar as principais transformações da música das escolas de samba do Rio de Janeiro através da transcrição, catalogação e análise de suas estruturas melódicas, harmônicas e formais mais recorrentes. Entre as estruturas analisadas estão as que considerei como características do samba-enredo, as quais são compartilhadas por um grande número de compositores das mais diversas épocas e tendências estilísticas. A partir do seu estudo detalhado, passou-se a reflexões mais amplas relativas à presença do formulismo no processo de composição dos sambistas, o qual pode estar ligado tanto ao modelo oral de pensamento e comportamento ainda existente nas escolas de samba quanto ao fato de o samba-enredo estar inserido em uma lógica capitalista que abarca desde a indústria cultural da qual ele faz parte (gravação de discos, transmissão em rádio e TV) até o próprio modo de escolha das obras que são apresentadas no carnaval. / This research intends to demonstrate the main transformations of the music of the samba schools of Rio de Janeiro through the transcription, cataloging and analysis of its most recurrent melodic, harmonic and formal structures. The analyzed structures include those that I considered as characteristics of samba-enredo, which are used by a large number of composers from diverse epochs and stylistic tendencies. From their detailed study, I examine the presence of formularity in the composition process of the sambistas, which may be related both to the oral model of thinking and behavior that still exists in the samba schools and to the fact that samba-enredo is embedded in a capitalist logic that ranges from the cultural industry it takes part in (disc recording, radio and TV broadcasting) to the way of choosing the works that are presented in the carnival.

Após breves exposições sobre Almeida Prado e sobre a obra sinfônica de Bruckner, bem como a apresentação da fundamentação teórica, o estudo se centraliza nos gestos empregados por Almeida Prado ao longo da peça. Na medida em que as análises vão sendo efetuadas, a integração das três vertentes analíticas é constantemente buscada, na intenção de que os resultados alcançados possam proporcionar uma visão o mais integral possível de cada gesto presente. A edição digitalizada da obra, baseada no manuscrito de Almeida Prado e a composição de uma obra com base neste estudo fazem parte do trabalho / Abstract: The purpose of this research on Arcos Sonoros da Catedral Anton Bruckner - meditação sinfônica (1996) by the composer Almeida Prado is to present a reflection that is guided by three types of analysis: ¿ Structural: investigating materials and compositional techniques. ¿ Semiotic: understanding and interpreting expressive meanings present in the musical text. ¿ Comparative analysis: identifying similarities and approaches between this work of Almeida Prado and Bruckner symphonies. After a brief presentation about Almeida Prado and Bruckner¿s symphonies, as well as a review of the related literature, the research focuses on the gestures used by Almeida Prado throughout the work. The integration of the three analytical lines is constantly done so that the achieved results may provide wide view of each gesture present in the piece.

Iniciamos o presente trabalho pelo estudo dos princípios norteadores dessa ideia e, de maneira breve, expomos o modelo científico conhecido na época para o estudo do timbre, proposto por Hermann von Helmholtz em 1863. Também examinamos a ideia de Klangfarbenmelodie através dos próprios escritos de Arnold Schoenberg e de outros autores, contextualizando nosso estudo dos pontos de vista histórico e científico. Em seguida, analisamos a obra Farben op. 16 n. 3, também de Arnold Schoenberg, com respeito a sua orquestração e organização formal, utilizando uma abordagem analítica baseada na Teoria Elementar dos Conjuntos. No último capítulo analisamos as composições de autoria própria à luz dos pressupostos trazidos pelo aspecto analítico desenvolvido durante a pesquisa / Abstract: This dissertation aimed to study the model of organization of timbres, Klangfarbenmelodie, proposed by the German composer Arnold Schoenberg in 1911 upon the publication of his book Harmonielehre and apply freely some results of this study of timbre organization in music composition. We begin by studying the guiding principles of this idea and briefly expose the scientific model known at the time for the study of timbre, presented by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1863. We also examine the idea of Klangfarbenmelodie through Schoeberg's own writings and other authors, contextualizing the research from a scientific and historical point of view. Then we analyze the work Farben op. 16 no. 3, also by Arnold Schoenberg, with respect to its orchestration and formal organization, using an analytical approach based on set theory. In the last chapter we analyze the compositions of authorship in the light of the assumptions brought by the analytical aspect of the research / Mestrado / Processos Criativos / Mestre em Música

Though Poulenc marks choral compositions with metronomic indications, there are problems concerning tempo. The purpose of this paper is to determine guidelines for dealing with choral tempo. Chapter II relates biographical information pertinent to the study. Style Is examined In Chapter III, determining aspects that call tempo marks into question and influence tempo determination. In Chapter IV, the manner in which Poulenc uses tempo indications in the choral works is analysed and the relationship between form and tempo examined. Chapter V records Information bearing upon tempo from Poulenc's collaboration with conductors, as well as examining recordings of Poulenc's music in which he played or with which he expressed approval. Guidelines for determining tempo are stated in Chapter VI.

The author of the thesis wants to examine the applicability of the concept of galant style as presented by Robert Gjerdingen in his treatise Music in the Galant Style (2007). As a musical material which he wants to analyze by using the mentioned concept he chooses three extant sepolcros by a schoolmaster from Bakov nad Jizerou Jiří Ignác Linek (1725-1791). Further, he deals with a thesis by Eva Tomandlová (1934- 2010) written in the late 1950's that had these sepolcros as its subject. Thus, at presenting Gjerdingen's approach and its specific possibilities, the author can make use of comparison with a method which can be considered an exemplar of the prevailing analytical tradition.

Support the process of data generation, the research proposes and describes in detail an educational activity implemented by two consecutive empirical studies, involving students from a public school and a private. During the empirical research, the researcher asked the participants to reflect about their musical tastes and the relationship between media influence and the formation of their cultural identities. In addition, young participants had the opportunity to discuss issues relating to cultural diversity and the way young people relate to different languages and technologies in their cultural practices and during reading, listening, written composition and oral production activities. The empirical results indicate that the production of podcast is a promising alternative to incorporate educational work with music in the classroom. The data show that this type of activity provides for interesting use of digital technologies in teaching practices, new opportunities for stimulating reading and text production spaces, besides instigating reflections on aesthetic criteria of artistic appreciation and provide experiences and exchanges between cultural diversity that constitutes the context of the classroom / Doutorado / Linguagem e Tecnologia / Doutor em Linguística Aplicada

Cette thèse explore les rapports entre la formalisation mathématique, ses implications dans les pratiques compositionnelles et ses répercussions sur l’interprétation analytique. Elle se base sur l’étude de Semi-Simple Variations pour piano (1956) de Milton Babbitt, de Nomos Alpha pour violoncelle (1965-1966) de Iannis Xenakis (1921/22-2001), et d’une sélection de textes théoriques publiés par les compositeurs autour de ces deux œuvres.L’argumentaire est divisé en trois parties. La première étudie les textes théoriques afin d’en dégager les éléments formalisés (ou résultant de la formalisation) ainsi que les indices permettant d’en retracer les implications dans les pratiques compositionnelles. Ces éléments sont précisés dans la deuxième partie via la reconstitution des traces laissées par les composantes formalisées dans les textes musicaux (« modèles théoriques »). Ce travail est mené sur les deux œuvres proposées à l’analyse puis élargi à d’autres œuvres. Les modèles théoriques de deux d’entre elles étaient jusque-là restés inédits : Three Compositions for Piano de Babbitt (1947-1948) ; et Akrata de Xenakis pour 16 vents (1964-1965). La troisième partie soumet Semi-Simple Variations et Nomos Alpha à deux analyses : la première étudie les modèles théoriques, directement liés aux univers formels, alors que la seconde examine les surfaces sonores et comment elles articulent et/ou contredisent les éléments dégagés au niveau des modèles. Tout en soulignant le rôle fondamental, quoique très différent, joué par la formalisation dans les univers compositionnels de Babbitt et de Xenakis, la distance séparant les modèles théoriques des surfaces sonores amènent à considérer l’apport des premiers dans l’interprétation analytique comme étant de nature avant tout heuristique. En tant que traces de la pensée du compositeur, les modèles théoriques peuvent néanmoins suggérer de nouvelles pistes et méritent d’être intégrés à des recherches futures. / This thesis explores the links between mathematical formalization, its implications in compositional practices, and its repercussions on the analytical interpretation. It is based on the study of Milton Babbitt’s Semi-Simple Variations for piano (1956), on Iannis Xenakis’ Nomos Alpha for violoncello (1965-1966), and on a selection of theoretical texts published by the composers around these two works. The argumentation is divided in three parts. The first studies the theoretical texts with the aim of extracting from them the components that are formalized (or result form formalization) as well as the indices pointing towards their implications in the compositional practices. These are then put into sharper view in the second part, through the reconstruction of the traces left by these components in the musical texts (“theoretical models”). This reconstruction is first conducted on the two main works considered before other works are considered. The theoretical models of two of them had until now remained unknown: Three Compositions for Piano by Babbitt (1947-1948) ; and Akrata for 16 winds (1964-1965) by Xenakis. The third part submits Semi-Simple Variations and Nomos Alpha to two analyses: one is aimed at the theoretical models, directly linked to the formal universes, the second examines the musical surfaces and at the way they articulate and/or contradict the elements observed in the models. While underlining the fundamental - though very different - role played by mathematical formalization in Babbitt’s and Xenakis’ compositional universes, the distance that separates the theoretical models from the musical surfaces brings one to consider the role of the former within the analytical enterprise as essentially heuristic. As traces of the composer’s thinking, the theoretical models may however suggest new approaches and deserve to be fully integrated in future research.

In spite of an increasing interest in the analysis of Renaissance music by contemporary theorists, few analyses of lute music exist. It is hoped that this thesis will serve to open a new area of analysis to scholars of Renaissance music. Chapter I deals with the background information necessary for the analysis, including Dowland's biography, lute history, technique, and notation, and the practice of modality on the lute. An overview of Dowland's music, especially the solo lute music, ends the chapter. Chapter II traces the form and development of the fantasia and surveys Dowland's seven fantasias. In Chapters III-V, the works are divided according to mode and analyzed in terms of counterpoint, dissonance, motivic development and modality. Chapter VI provides concluding remarks.

This study focuses on temporal aspects of the music of Krzysztof Penderecki and deals with these on the level of textural activity. The analyses are based on a referential idea called a "discrete sound event," defined as an occurrence of a sound or collection of sounds which, as a unit, is distinct from the surrounding texture. These sound events are then used to appraise textural activity from layer fluctuation and composite density. The pieces selected for applying these techniques are the Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima, from 1960, the Fluorescences, from 1961, and the 1965 Capriccio for oboe and strings.
