Partindo de análises de fonogramas do disco, verificou-se que o grupo produziu uma linguagem híbrida, operando com elementos musicais regionais, principalmente aqueles identificados com a cultura sertaneja nordestina, articulados a procedimentos de outros gêneros e estilos associados a repertórios cosmopolitas. A investigação partiu de duas hipóteses: a possibilidade do ideário nacional-popular dos anos 60 ter balizado as escolhas estéticas dos músicos, orientando-os na retomada de tradições musicais brasileiras; e a de que a ruptura com o jazz, expressa nos discursos dos músicos, é relativa, uma vez que há sinais evidentes de procedimentos típicos do gênero norte-americano na construção da sonoridade característica do quarteto. O projeto artístico que orientou a produção do referido LP refletiu, na opinião dos próprios músicos, a preocupação com o "nacionalismo musical" e a busca de uma sonoridade "tipicamente brasileira". Tudo isso se traduziu em aspectos de arranjo, instrumentação e improvisação que se remetem às tradições musicais populares. A proposta do Quarteto Novo estava inserida num contexto de grande efervescência política e cultural impulsionada por artistas e intelectuais sintonizados com o que Ridenti definiu como "brasilidade revolucionária", uma construção simbólica que se constituiu numa maneira específica de auto-compreensão do Brasil naqueles anos, com forte conotação utópica. A brasilidade revolucionária serviu de parâmetro para a mobilização de uma geração de intelectuais e artistas que protagonizou uma das mais importantes experiências de arte engajada da história brasileira. Nessa conjuntura, a idealização de um autêntico "homem do povo", com raízes rurais, sertanejas, orientou boa parte da produção artística daqueles anos, da qual o disco Quarteto Novo pode ser considerado um exemplo significativo / Abstract: The object of this work is the musical production of the Brazilian group Quarteto Novo recorded on the homonymous LP released by Odeon in 1967. Based on analysis of phonograms disk has been found that the group produced a hybrid language, working with regional musical elements, especially those identified with the Brazilian Northeastern culture, articulated to techniques from other genres and styles. The investigation started with two assumptions: the possibility of national-popular ideology of the 60 Tues christened the aesthetic choices of the musicians, guiding them in the recovery of Brazilian musical traditions; and that the idea of rupture with jazz, expressed in the speeches of their own musicians, is relative, since there is very clear signs of typical procedures of jazz in the sonority of the Quarteto Novo. The aesthetic project that guides the production of that LP reflected, in the opinion of the musicians themselves, the concern with the "musical nationalism" and the search for a sound "typically Brazilian". All this has translated into aspects of arrangement, instrumentation and improvisation which refer to the popular music traditions. The proposal of the Quarteto Novo was embedded in a context of great political and cultural ferment stimulated by artists and intellectuals in tune with what Ridenti defined as "revolutionary Brazilianness," a symbolic construction that was a specific way of self-understanding of Brazil in those years, with a strong utopian connotation. The "revolutionary Brazilianness" served as a parameter to mobilize a generation of intellectuals and artists who starred in one of the most important experiences of activist art of Brazilian history. At this conjuncture, the idealization of a real "man of the people" with rural roots oriented much of the artistic production of those years, of which the disc Quarteto Novo is one of the most significant examples / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestre em Música

This study examines Liszt's use of the style hongrois in his Swiss book of Années de pèlerinage to reference certain sentiments he had experienced. The event that brought Liszt to Switzerland is discussed in Chapter 1 in order to establish an understanding of the personal difficulties facing Liszt during the period when the Swiss book took shape. Based on Jonathan Bellman's research of the style hongrois, Chapter 2 examines the Swiss pieces that exhibit musical gestures characteristic of this style. Bellman also introduced a second, metaphoric meaning of the style hongrois, which is discussed in Chapter 3 along with Liszt's accounts from his book Des Bohémien as well as the literary quotations that are included in the Swiss book. Together, the biographical facts, the accounts from Des Bohémien, and the literary quotations show that Liszt was using the style hongrois to substantiate the autobiographical significance of the Swiss book.

The connection of music and verse evident in the work of American poet, Carl Sandburg, is a topic that has received inadequate attention. Much preexisting research has focused on Sandburg's work with The American Songbag anthology; however little has been written about music composers' settings of his verse. The relevance of Sandburg's work as a poet has faded in today's society; the rural prairie subject matter and his poetic style are deemed archaic in an ever-evolving mechanistic society. Philip Wharton, a native of Sandburg's Midwest prairie, composes to create an evocative and image-laden world for the hearers of his music. This is what creates a semblance between both artists' works. This paper makes a connection between the work of the 20th century prairie poet and a current, 21st century American composer's musical setting of Sandburg's verse. Both artists are connected not only geographically, but also in their approach to an accessible art form for their audience. Negating current compositional trends and using text from Sandburg's poetry collections, Chicago Poems and Cornhuskers, Wharton melds the text into his evocative, imagistic musical language in his song cycle, The Prairie Sings. Using examples from the five movements of the cycle, I show the dependent relationship of verse and music. An in-depth analysis of the connection of poetry and music in each of the five movements of the cycle is contained in the paper. An additional connection in the dynamic interplay of the vocal line and piano accompaniment, the two "narrators" of the cycle, is also discussed. The resulting research points to an aspect of a creation of a regional American "sound, " reminiscent of trends of nationalism in the 19th and 20th century in art, literature and music.

Colombian composer Jaime León (1921-2015) is known for his art songs. Most of the current scholarly literature about León defines him as a nationalist composer even though a majority of his songs do not appear to have nationalist traits. This document examines a representative selection of León's songs divided into three categories: songs influenced by the bambuco (the Colombian genre most present in his songs); songs whose text refers to Colombian culture; and songs without Colombian elements present in their text or music. After examination of these songs, my conclusion is that León, rather than being nationalist, was a cosmopolitan composer who used national elements as rhetorical tools in an isolated and experimental way.

The study explores the theme of protest as encoded in selected Kalanga music. In particular, the study focuses on the analysis of songs sung by Kalanga musicians such as Chase Skuza, Ndux Junior and Batshele Brothers, Ndolwane Super Sounds and Tornado Heroes within the period 2000-2013.The selected period is generally considered to be a crisis period in Zimbabwe. Further, the study also relies on views from key respondents obtained through semi structured interviews and questionnaires. The research adopts the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework and the hegemony theory to help identify the discourses as encoded in the theme of protest in Kalanga music. The two frameworks are engaged because they challenge critical thinkers to move away from seeing language as immaterial to acknowledging and believing that words are meaningful in specific political, social and historical contexts. The study establishes that Kalanga music is protest art that speaks on behalf of the people by pointing out the injustices and malpractices that take place in society. The selected music demonstrates the battles that are ongoing that the musicians are protesting against. The study notes that protest music raises the consciousness of the citizens on the wayward behaviour of individuals and institutions. The protest themes identified include; corruption, poor governance and poor leadership, unfulfilled promises, lack of unity, repressive and oppressive laws, a skewed representation of the nation’s history, deployment of Shona teachers in Matabeleland, decrying moral decadence, protest against jealousy and envy and protest against xenophobia. Findings of the study also demonstrate that music goes beyond simply reflecting and describing situations but it also becomes an avenue through which discursive spaces are opened. The study also shows that Kalanga music provides alternative platforms for the articulation of matters generally considered taboo within Zimbabwean spaces, Kalanga music has a potential to contribute to national cohesion and national growth using its constructive criticism of the political, social and economic state of Zimbabwe. The study has clearly enunciated that protest music assists in the interrogation of a society’s moral compass and in turn question some convictions. Kalanga songs are not merely frivolous components of various sects of Zimbabwean culture, or passing sources of insignificant entertainment. Instead, they and their singers are critical contributors to the shaping of those eras, playing irreplaceable roles as they spur collective mindsets of protest across many social aggregates through their appeal to the desires, the morals, the lamentations, the angers and the passions of the Kalanga people. / Linguistics and Modern Languages / Ph.

The career of Osvaldo Lacerda (1927-2011) spanned a critical time in the development of Brazilian nationalist music. Though he was an outspoken nationalist composer, he was also influenced by European trends and training. Even within his nationalist compositions, evidence of a shift in style that mirrors the European movements of Modernism and Postmodernism is found in his works. Among his thirty-six chamber works, three are wind quintets, written between 1962 and 1997. Although all three works warrant extended discussion, Variações e Fuga para quinteto de sopros is particularly valuable for studying Lacerda's musical language. It was originally written in 1962. However, Lacerda made significant revisions in 1994, completely rewriting and expanding it. Through comparing the 1962 and 1994 versions of Variações e Fuga and analyzing the significant differences between the two, this document aims show that even with his strong stance as a Brazilian nationalist composer, Lacerda was clearly influenced by the movements of the broader music world. Examples from his other two woodwind quintets, Quinteto de sopro and Suíte pra cinco, written in 1988 and 1997 respectively, help to support the idea that this change in his musical language was not an anomaly, but rather a true evolution of style impacted by his own culture and that of the classical music world around him.

Mario Lavista (b.1943) is widely acknowledged as one of Mexico's foremost living composers. Having acquired his music education in his native Mexico and in Europe alike, he is similar to numerous other Latin composers who were building a career in the latter half of the twentieth century. During this time, composers were relying on international aspects of avant-garde techniques, and using nationalistic Latin rhythms and melodies less. Lavista embraced internationalism, and aimed to compose works devoid of identifiable elements of nationalism. This document argues that the absence of nationalistic elements in Lavista's music has affected his notoriety outside of Mexico. The role of nationalism is assessed through a brief examination of influential Mexican composers and educators prior to 1950, followed by a discussion of education and composition in the latter half of the twentieth century. These aspects are investigated with regard to Lavista's education and resulting compositional style. A theoretical analysis of Cinco Danzas Breves para quinteto de alientos (1994) serves as a representative example of Lavista's compositional style and influence. This document aims to highlight and increase exposure of Mexican composers outside of Latin America who do not compose nationalistic music.
