Tendo em vista a peculiaridade e a abrangência da noção de abertura no pensamento Berio - que contrasta com outras concepções e converge na revisitação criativa de discursos previamente construídos -, propõe-se, aqui, a investigação analítica de um conjunto de obras de diversos períodos de sua trajetória. As noções de latência e ressonância - consideradas numa amplitude que permeia a poética beriana e manifesta-se em diversos níveis de sua elaboração - delineiam um percurso: a construção de enunciados carregados de potenciais que ainda não se encontram plenamente desenvolvidos (latência); a ampliação e o prolongamento de aspectos estruturais selecionados (ressonância); e o desdobramento de suas relações no interior do processo composicional - seja no percurso de uma mesma obra, seja no processo de uma nova composição que reconfigure estes potenciais - (abertura). Ao longo do trabalho, são abordadas as seguintes obras: Sequenza VII (1969); Erdenklavier (1969); Linea (1973); Chemins IV (1975); Sequenza IX (1980); Lied (1983); Ricorrenze (1985-87); Psy (1989); Leaf (1990); Récit [Chemins VII] (1996-2001) / Abstract: This work consists on a step of a study devoted to the compositional thinking of Luciano Berio (1925-2003) and to the ways in which this thought articulates the problem of the intrinsic openness of musical language. Given the uniqueness and the wide range of the concept of openness in Berio's thought - which contrasts with other conceptions and converges in the creative revisitation of previously constructed musical discourses -, it is proposed here the analytic investigation of a collection of works from various periods of his trajectory. The notions of latency and resonance - considered in an amplitude that pervades Berio's poetics and manifests itself on different levels of its development - outline a path: the construction of statements loaded with potentials which are not yet fully developed (latency), the expansion and continuation of selected structural aspects (resonance), and the unrolling of their relations within the compositional process - whether in the course of a same work, whether in the process of a new composition which reconfigures such potentials - (openness). Throughout this work, we approach the following works: Sequenza VII (1969); Erdenklavier (1969); Linea (1973); Chemins IV (1975); Sequenza IX (1980); Lied (1983); Ricorrenze (1985-87); Psy (1989); Leaf (1990); Récit [Chemins VII] (1996-2001) / Mestrado / Processos Criativos / Mestre em Música

Esta pesquisa procura, por meio da reconstrução de sua trajetória - com base em narrativas - e da análise de sua obra, apontar para os fatores que determinam a importância do sambista para aqueles que fazem uso de seu nome e do termo 'samba paulista', problematizando este uso / Abstract: There are currently, in the city of São Paulo, musicians and researchers that, making use of the term 'paulista samba' to describe a musical genre or culture, often cite the work and life of Geraldo Filme (1927-1995), considered by then as one of the most important artists to black and popular culture in the country, and they are responsible for the charge that the recording industry would not have given due importance to his work. This research, by reconstructing his life - based on narratives - and analyzing his work, point to the factors that determine the importance of this men for those who make use of his name and of the term 'paulista samba', questioning this use / Mestrado / Antropologia Social / Mestra em Antropologia Social

As attention on the music of Mieczysław Weinberg (1919-1996) has increased in the years after his death, so has the need for an analytical study of his musical style and language. This thesis surveys Weinberg’s changing style through a genre that spans almost his entire output: the string quartet. His close friendship and artistic affinity with Shostakovich helps make his music accessible to a wider audience, though closer examination reveals Weinberg’s individuality and a quite distinct language from that of his mentor. In support of this contention, a wide range of analytical approaches is deployed in this dissertation, along with a pragmatic methodology for presenting a holistic overview of Weinberg’s quartets. Weinberg’s quartet cycle occupies an important place in twentieth-century music, with parallels to Shostakovich, Bartók, and other Soviet composers, including Myaskovsky, Shebalin, Levitin, and Boris Chaykovsky; correspondences and distinctiveness are explored in the second chapter. The third chapter surveys Weinberg’s musical narratives, with recourse to theories from Kofi Agawu, Boris Asafiev, and Jacques Derrida. Form is the focus of the fourth chapter, where ideas from Mark Aranovsky, and James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy are deployed to highlight Weinberg’s problematising of traditional forms in his music. Chapter five explores Weinberg’s multi-faceted approach to harmony, with concepts expanded from Lev Mazel, Yury Kholopov, and the neo-Riemannian school of analysis. The picture that emerges is of Weinberg’s individuality and distinctive voice, manifested in a controlled experimentalism and a tendency towards extended lyricism. His affinity with better-known composers may prove an approachable entry-point for wider audiences, but many of the most striking elements in his quartet cycle are of his own invention. His quartets stand as an important contextual dimension for understanding Shostakovich’s cycle, and also for appreciating the broader repertoire of Soviet chamber music. As his centenary approaches, engagement with Weinberg’s music continues to increase: this thesis provides contexts and analysis-based conclusions to complement this ongoing revival.

Cette thèse s’intéresse à une période stylistique particulière du compositeur Frédéric Chopin. Les années 1840 manifestent une évolution importante dans son langage musical et correspondent à un tournant esthétique marqué par un contexte historique et biographique difficile. Tout au long de ce travail, nous allons tenter d’ériger une définition transversale du « dernier style » de Chopin, en recherchant les éléments caractéristiques récurrents de cette période. Dans ce but, un corpus de vingt-deux œuvres musicales sera analysé selon plusieurs niveaux (traditionnel et formel, sémiotique, narratif et thymique) afin de saisir tous les enjeux de la dernière période du compositeur polonais. / This thesis focuses on a particular stylistic period of Frederic Chopin. The 1840s show an important evolution of Chopin’s musical language and correspond to an aesthetic turning point, characterized by a difficult historical and biographical context. All along our research, we will try to build a transversal definition of Chopin’s last style by highlighting the recurrent characteristics of this period. In this purpose, a corpus of twenty-two works will be analyzed through several levels (traditional and formal, semiotic, narrative and thymic), to grasp all the issues of the last period of the polish composer.

De nos jours, nombreux compositeurs s’inspirent de la science comme point de départ pour la création, bien qu’il n’est pas possible une normalisation de facto des pratiques détectables. Quelles dispositions cognitives et implications formelles minimales participeraient d’un passage transférentiel quelconque d’un modèle de la science vers un modèle musical pendant les pratiques créatives d’un compositeur ? Compte tenu de la question précédente, quelle approche analytique et méthodologique le musicologue envisageant à étudier les œuvres issues de ces pratiques compositionnelles devrait-il adopter ? La première partie de la thèse vise à construire le cadre théorique et analytique pour répondre ces deux questions. À cet égard, le discours invoque la Théorie des Modeles des mathématiques, la linguistique cognitive pour discuter les questions liées à la métaphore, et la notion de « métamodèle » des études en informatique et cognition.Étant données les questions de recherche, la thèse touche l’œuvre de auteurs espagnols en tant que cas d’étude pour ainsi tester ses postulats méthodologiques : d’une part, le castillan Alberto Posadas (Valladolid, 1967) ; d’autre part, le catalan Hèctor Parra (Barcelone, 1976). Le premier compositeur s’inspire notamment des mathématiques pour écrire sa musique : la thèse analyse la manière dont Posadas se sert de la géométrie fractale pour composer. Le deuxième compositeur emprunte des modèles de la physique et de la biologie : la thèse met l’accent sur ses pratiques créatives inspirées par les théories abiogénétiques de Cairns-Smith. L’analyse génétique de la musique est l’outil méthodologique employé à cette fin. / It is a fact that some composers find inspiration in science, but this fact is not at all normalized. What minimal cognitive dispositions and formal implications take part in any transferring from a scientific model to a musical one during composers’ creative practices? Given the previous question, what methodological and analytical stands should the musicologist take in order to efficiently address the study of musical works originating from those practices? The goal of this thesis is to develop the methodological and analytical frame in order to answer both questions. For that purpose, the discussion summons mathematical Model Theory, conceptual metaphor from cognitive linguistics and the term “metamodel” from computer and cognition studies.Those issues also lead to the three analysis of the work of two Spanish composers to test the theoretical proposition: Alberto Posadas (Valladolid, 1967) and Hèctor Parra (Barcelona, 1976). The first finds often his inspiration in mathematics: the dissertation analyses the way he uses fractal geometry to compose. The second one borrows inspiration from physics and biology: the thesis focuses on his creative practices linked to Cairns-Smith’s abiogenetic theories. Genetic analysis of music is the main methodological tool used for this purpose.

Dubuisson (fl.1666-c.1685) is the sole French viol player-composer between Nicolas Hotman (1613-1663) and Le Sieur de Sainte-Colombe (d.c.1700) whose works are extant. His four suites from a Library of Congress manuscript (1666) are the oldest dated French music for the bass viol; his approximately 125 pieces are contained in five manuscript sources. This thesis brings together, for the first time, all the music from the five sources for study and analysis. Together with the few biographical details, this material is used to assess his position within the French viol school. Brief histories of the viol and the suite in France precede a discussion of Dubuisson's contributions to the evolution of the genre.

Jazz improvisation provides a case context for examining information in music; entropy provides a means for representing music for retrieval. Entropy measures are shown to distinguish between different improvisations on the same theme, thus demonstrating their potential for representing jazz information for analysis and retrieval. The calculated entropy measures are calibrated against human representation by means of a case study of an advanced jazz improvisation course, in which synonyms for "entropy" are frequently used by the instructor. The data sets are examined for insights in music information retrieval, music information behavior, and music representation.

The rapid growth of the Internet and the advancements of the Web technologies have made it possible for users to have access to large amounts of on-line music data, including music acoustic signals, lyrics, style/mood labels, and user-assigned tags. The progress has made music listening more fun, but has raised an issue of how to organize this data, and more generally, how computer programs can assist users in their music experience. An important subject in computer-aided music listening is music retrieval, i.e., the issue of efficiently helping users in locating the music they are looking for. Traditionally, songs were organized in a hierarchical structure such as genre->artist->album->track, to facilitate the users’ navigation. However, the intentions of the users are often hard to be captured in such a simply organized structure. The users may want to listen to music of a particular mood, style or topic; and/or any songs similar to some given music samples. This motivated us to work on user-centric music retrieval system to improve users’ satisfaction with the system. The traditional music information retrieval research was mainly concerned with classification, clustering, identification, and similarity search of acoustic data of music by way of feature extraction algorithms and machine learning techniques. More recently the music information retrieval research has focused on utilizing other types of data, such as lyrics, user access patterns, and user-defined tags, and on targeting non-genre categories for classification, such as mood labels and styles. This dissertation focused on investigating and developing effective data mining techniques for (1) organizing and annotating music data with styles, moods and user-assigned tags; (2) performing effective analysis of music data with features from diverse information sources; and (3) recommending music songs to the users utilizing both content features and user access patterns.
