Memoria et intervocalité dans les "Miracles de Notre Dame" de Gautier de Coinci / Memoria and Intervocality in The Miracles de Nostre Dame by Gautier de Coinci

Couderc, Claire 13 October 2012 (has links)
Les Miracles de Nostre Dame sont constitués de deux livres de miracles encadrés de plusieurs cycles de chansons de dévotion. Ils sont l’œuvre de Gautier de Coinci, un moine poète nommé supérieur du couvent de Vic-sur-Aisne en 1214. En tant que moine, Gautier de Coinci s'adonne à la lectio divina, une méditation des textes bibliques qui est une mise en œuvre des arts de la mémoire désignés sous le terme de memoria. Cette pratique nous interroge, dans une première partie, sur l'influence de ces arts de la mémoire dans les Miracles de Nostre Dame et les chansons de dévotion qui alternent avec les récits.La compositio médiévale est perçue comme l'appropriation et la valorisation d'une œuvre antérieure. En tant que poète et musicien, Gautier de Coinci fait ainsi appel à des chansons de trouvères contemporains, et plus particulièrement à Blondel de Nesle. Ce travail veut approfondir la question de savoir en quoi ces œuvres empruntées peuvent être appréhendées comme des formes particulières d'auctoritas. Cette seconde partie de l'étude a pour but d'examiner, par une analyse des liens intertextuels et intervocaux, la manière dont le compositeur des Miracles de Nostre Dame s'approprie les chansons de Blondel de Nesle.En tant qu'abbé, enfin, Gautier de Coinci compose une œuvre de dévotion dont la conversion intérieure et l'édification sont le but ultime. Cette dernière partie, prenant en compte la double approche mémorielle et intervocale du répertoire de la chanson de dévotion, montrera que le chant, dans sa composition et dans son interprétation, est une mise en pratique nécessaire de cette conversion intérieure. / The Miracles de Nostre Dame forms 2 books of miracles framed with several cycles of songs of devotion. They were written by Gautier de Coinci, a monk and a poet called Father Superior of Vic-Sur-Aisne monastery in 1214. As a monk, Gautier de Coinci devoted himself to the Lectio Divina which was a meditation on biblical texts and a demonstration of the memory arts known under the name of memoria. The first part of our study leads us to the analysis of the influence of these arts of the memory on the Miracles de Nostre Dame and on the songs of devotion which alternate with the narratives.The medieval compositio is seen as the appropriation and valorization of a former work. As a poet and a musician, Gautier de Coinci calls for songs of troubadours which are contemporary to him, particularly Blondel de Nesle. Our study aims at explaining why these works could be seen as specific forms of auctoritas. This second part develops the way the composer of the Miracles de Nostre Dame uses Blondel’s songs thanks to the analysis of the intertextual and intervocal links.Finally, as a monk, Gautier de Coinci creates a work of devotion the inner conversion and improvement of which, represent the ultimate goal. Our last part is a summary of the memorial and intervocal approach of the songs of devotion. It deals with the way singing is a significant application of the inner conversion thanks to its composition and performance.

Irländsk Folkmusikwannabe : En självstudie i att appropriera irländsk ornamentik på fiol / Irish trad music wannabe : A self-study about appropriating ornamentation in irish traditional music on fiddle

Höglund, Evelina January 2018 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att utforska mitt egna lärande i processen med att appropriera den ornamentik som är en central del i den irländska folkmusikkulturen. Syftet stärks med följande forskningsfrågor: Med vilka redskap tillägnar jag som lärling mig ornament från den irländska folkmusiktraditionen? samt I vilken utsträckning har jag approprierat irländsk ornamentik efter en period på tio veckor? Arbetet är baserat på ett sociokulturellt perspektiv med stark betoning på mästarläran. Detta ingår i bakgrundskapitlet tillsammans med relevant litteratur med inslag av tidigare forskning på området. Exempel på vad som tas upp är förklaringar om specifika ornament samt en översiktlig beskrivning av den irländska folkmusiktraditionen. Studien baseras på videoobservation av mig själv samt genom egna loggboksanteckningar. Resultatet presenteras med hjälp av olika rubriker; exempelvis olika redskap under enskilda fiollektioner, tillägnande av yrkesidentitet samt jag och min mästare. Avslutningsvis diskuteras resultatet i förhållande till litteraturen samt tidigare forskning där bland annat min etniska tillhörighet och outtalade regler vid sessions nämns. Här diskuteras även variation och improvisation samt vilka redskap som tillfört mest till min lärandeprocess. / The purpose of this thesis is to explore my own learning in the process of appropriating the kind of ornamentation that is a central part of the Irish trad music culture. The purpose is supported with these following reserch questions: Which tools do I use as an apprentice to appropriate the ornaments from the Irish traditional music culture? and To what degree have I appropriated the Irish ornamentation after a period of ten weeks? The thesis is based on a sociocultural perspective with a strong emphasism on master – apprentice teaching. This is included in the background chapter together with relevant litterature and earlier studies on this area. Explanations about specific ornaments and a brief description about the Irish trad culture are examples of what is brought up in the background chapter. The thesis is based on video observations of myself and by a written journal. The result is presented with several themes, for example different tools during individual fiddle lessons, adopting of professional identity and me and my master. In the conclution the results are discussed compared to the litterature and earlier research where my ethnical background and unspoken rules during sessions are mentioned. The discussion also include variation and improvisation together with which tools that have contributed the most to my process of learning.

Les violoneux du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean : style et répertoire des derniers de leur lignée

Lavoie, Sophie 12 1900 (has links)
La région du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean est géographiquement située dans une enclave qui a contribué à l’isolement des populations s’y étant installées. Aussi cet éloignement aurait-il favorisé la présence de certaines spécificités culturelles dans cette région, spécificités ayant été relevées au sein de plusieurs domaines tel que la génétique, la linguistique, le patrimoine culinaire, l’histoire et la musique. Cette recherche vise à documenter plus spécifiquement l’élément musical dans la région du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean par l’analyse du style et du répertoire de quatre joueurs de violon traditionnel ayant appris par transmission orale. La classification du répertoire et l’identification de différentes techniques de jeu au niveau du style permettent de relever à la fois des éléments communs et distincts chez les quatre violoneux. Outre les analyses quantitatives et qualitatives proposées au niveau du répertoire et du style, cette recherche comprend un survol de l’histoire des populations de la région avançant différentes pistes sur les origines et les influences des violoneux ayant habité ou séjourné sur le territoire depuis la traite des fourrures jusqu’à l’industrialisation, de même qu’un recensement de plus d’une centaine de violoneux du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean depuis la colonisation, et un lexique endogène de la terminologie des violoneux étudiés. / The Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region is an enclave, and this fact contributed, through the years, to the isolation of the populations established there. This isolation is a factor that would have contributed to the presence of cultural distinctiveness amongst the inhabitants of the region. This cultural specificity has been observed in many fields of research, such as genetics, linguistics, culinary traditions, history and music. This thesis documents the musical element of culture in the region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, through the analysis of style and repertoire of four fiddle players from the region. The classification of repertoire and the identification of different playing techniques, highlight both common and individual elements featured in the music of these four fiddlers. The research also contains a historical overview of the people who lived in or crossed the region, from the period of fur trading to industrialisation, and how they could have influenced the music in this region. Additionally, this research contains a census of over 100 fiddle players who have inhabited or passed through the region since colonisation, as well as a lexic explaining over 70 terms and expressions used by the fiddle players of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean.

The Dispersal of Gold : Material and Figural Traits of the Gold Foil Figures from Västra Vång / Att skingra guld

Löfving, Axel January 2020 (has links)
Gold Foil Figures or guldgubbar (henceforth GFFs) are precious metal artefacts from the Scandinavian Late Iron Age. This master's essay offers a new approach to GFFs. As opposed to the established understanding of GFFs as representational images with real or mythic referents, belonging to an aristocratic milieu, this essay instead attends to GFFs in terms of their material and Figural traits. The material for this study consists if 42 GFFs from the find site of Västra Vång, Blekinge, Sweden. A comprehensive presentation of this artefact material is a secondary aim of this essay. With the aid of a neomaterialist theoretical apparatus that draws heavily on the work of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and Wilhelm Worringer, the 42 GFFs undergo two separate analyses. In the first, the material traits expressed in the sequence of GFF production and deposition is studied in terms of a chaîne opératoire. In the second, I attend to the non-significatory expressive qualities of form and expression, or Figural traits, belonging to these 42 GFFs within the wider artistic milieu of Animal Style Ornamentation. I conclude that GFFs were as a rule artefacts made for purposes of immediate disposal, not display, as a mode of dispersing gold. Västra Vång’s GFFs offer several indications that handling between the cutting operation and deposition was minimal, such as the fresh, unworn edges. The thin, brittle foils are ill suited to display. Approaching the designs on these artefacts as various sets of Figural traits being expressed allows me to contextualise the GFFs within the wider artistic milieu of Animal Style Ornamentation. New territorial rhythms can be established only as certain elements are freed from a settled state, and made to act together with new elements, in new terrains. GFFs bring about new territorial rhythms of form and expression to gold matter, gold made to circulate as it becomes deterritorialised from a monetary function within the Roman economy. A flow of gold is extended as gold is brought to Scandinavia from continental economies. The influx of this flow of gold is not contained to an élite social stratum. Individuals in possession of minute amounts of gold returned to Scandinavia, having acquired gold as payment for involvement in military operations on the continent. This ownership of gold may have hindered their harmonious reintegration into a society based on other economic principles. The GFFs emerge as a vector of dispersing gold. The artistic expression of Figural traits is equally energised by movements of de- and reterritorialisation. Understanding that the Figural traits expressed on the GFFs from Västra Vång are part of a wider artistic milieu of Animal Style Ornamentation, alongside other systematised expressions making up parts of a collective assemblage of enunciation, makes their appearance on artefacts that were deposited immediately upon their manufacture easier to grasp. The particular procedures of miniaturisation allowed for an acceleration of the expression of variation in the conjunction of a flow of artistic expression onto a flow of gold matter. The dispersive handling of gold must be traced to both the material premises and the expressive artistic ones. Gold is not chosen because it is precious, or because of what it connotes, but because it is available, because the artisan smith is attendant to its traits as a metal matter.

Virtuosa di Musica di Camera: A Performance Edition of Sonata in F Major, Op. 1, No. 2 by Anna Bon di Venezia

Alvarado Piña, Maria Gabriela 05 1900 (has links)
The flute music of Anna Bon di Venezia (1738–ca. 1767) belongs to the group of long-overlooked compositions by women composers throughout history worthy of rediscovery. This dissertation includes a discussion of Bon's life and music, as well as the artistic, historical, and theoretical significance of her compositions. It also presents biographical research on Bon, including Michaela Krucsay's dissertation, which provides new evidence of Bon's birth date, which had been uncertain up until 2015. Bon's Sonata in F Major for flute and basso continuo is analyzed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the work. A table is provided explaining specific ornaments and articulations added to the performance edition. In addition, this dissertation includes analyses of sonatas by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788) and Johann Joachim Quantz (1697–1773) to contextualize Bon's sonatas within the standard flute repertoire. This dissertation expands the music scholarship on this distinguished composer and performer and provides a historically informed performance edition of the Sonata in F Major, op. 1, no. 2, for flute and piano, to serve as a model to modern flutists for historically informed performances of Bon's entire opus 1.

La fusion musicale : multiplicité d'influences comme point de départ d'une démarche en composition

Bengio, Patrick 05 1900 (has links)
Cette version du mémoire a été tronquée d'un élément protégé par le droit d'auteur, l'''Annexe 5a audio, K'viria de Riho''. Une version plus complète est disponible en ligne pour les membres de la communauté de l'Université de Montréal et peut aussi être consultée à la Bibliothèque de la Faculté de Musique de l'UdeM. / Ce mémoire porte sur la notion de fusion musicale à la multiplicité d'influences dans ma démarche en composition musicale. Je commencerai par définir le terme de fusion, les différents types de fusion musicale ainsi que leur relation à la tradition musicale d'un côté, et leur relation à une démarche contemporaine en composition musicale. Puis, j'analyserai quantité des styles et traditions qui forment la base de la littérature musicale dont je me sers dans la construction de mon langage personnel, autant du côté des démarches déjà existantes en fusion que du côtés des musiques relevant de traditions non-fusion. Celles qui m'ont le plus influencées sont la musique classique européenne et la musique classique du Moyen-Orient, puis, d'autres influences phares se trouvent dans les musiques classiques d'Inde, la musique vocale de Géorgie, la musique de gamelan Balinais, et dans le Hard Rock ainsi que le Rock Progressif. J'explorerai ensuite de manière plus concrète les modes musicaux, la mélodie et son enrichissement grâce à l'ornementation mélodique, et le rythme, dans lequel la métrique apparaît comme essentielle, et la polyrythmie comme toute aussi enrichissante. Ces trois paramètres – mode, mélodie et rythme - forment les trois grands piliers de mon langage musical. Je ferai des aller-retours entre l'apport des traditions, leur réinterprétation créative et l'expansion de leurs paramètres jusqu'à en dépasser les frontières, ce qui débouchera sur la possibilité et la volonté de la création d'un nouveau style musical en soi, qui dépasserait, peut-être, l'esthétique de la fusion. / This memoir discusses the concept of musical fusion with multiple influences in my compositional works. I will start by defining the term fusion, the different types of fusion as well as their relationship to musical tradition, on the one hand, and their relationship to a contemporary musical compositional endeavor. I will then analyse diverse musical styles and traditions that form the basis of the musical literature that I use in constructing my personal musical language, both in the branch of already existing fusion musics, and in the branch of non-fusion musics. The musics that most influenced me are european classical music and middle-eastern classical music, and then, other important ones include classical indian music, vocal georgian music, balinese gamelan music, Hard Rock and Progressive Rock. Afterwards I will explore in more concrete detail the musical modes, the melody and its complexification with the mechanisms of ornamentation, rhythm, within which time signatures appear to be an essential aspect, and polyrhythm to be it's important mechanism of complexification. These three parameters – mode, melody and rhythm – form the three great pillars of my musical language. I will go back-and-forth between the intakes from tradition, their creative reinterpretation and the expansion of their parameters, until we reach a point where we go beyond their frontier, at which point we will envision the possibility and the will to create a new musical style in itself, which, perhaps, goes beyond the esthetic of fusion.

Mellan människor och djur : En studie om djurens inverkan under den yngre järnåldern / Between humans and animals : A study of animal agency during the late iron age

Valtner, Minna January 2023 (has links)
This essay concerns the relationship between humans and animals during the Late Iron Age, 450-1050 AD, in the Nordic region. The archaeological and osteological material studied is animal style ornamentation and inhumation and cremation graves. The essay is based on a human-animal perspective and is inspired by Human-Animal Studies (HAS). This perspective shows how an anthropocentric worldview and human exceptionalism have come to influence the previous research regarding humans and animals. From this perspective, the animal's agency becomes central, which means that the animal acts as its own subject that mutually affects people and each other. Several parallels between the animal style ornamentation and the osteological material are also apparent both within the previous research and within my own analysis. In the previous research, a secondary view of animals abounds, and the focus is on human agency. But in the study's analysis, it becomes clear how the animal's agency is present. In both materials examined, bodies are mixed and assimilated in different and unique ways. The interpretation of the material is that people during the Late Iron Age thought "with both people and animals" and that people wanted to be influenced by animals. There was a world view were all living beings were a transversal unit, a so-called zoe. Both humans and animals were becomings initiated in a process of eternal co-creation.

A Critical Study of Three Violoncello Suites by J.S. Bach

Meacham, Marjorie 01 1900 (has links)
This thesis is a critical study of three violoncello suites of Johann 8ebastian Bach from the performer's point of view. Its purpose is to determine the comparative differences and similarities of several well known editions including the Bach Gesellschaft edition and the Pablo Casals recording. It will explain a few of the many discrepancies and provide adequate reasons for given suggestions and preferences concerning dynamics, tempi, ornamentation, bowing styles, and other elements of performance. By stating a brief historical background of the evolution of the violoncello and the development of musical form and style, it is possible to conceive Bach's ideas and intentions as he wrote the collection of six suites.

Vliv stavu a funkce imunitního systému na pohlavní výběr u ptáků / Vliv stavu a funkce imunitního systému na pohlavní výběr u ptáků

Vinkler, Michal January 2011 (has links)
Evolution is a most fascinating feature of all living things in our world. The means of organismal evolution are diverse, comprising mainly of natural and sexual selection. Both of these phenomena may contribute to evolutionary adaptations in health and disease. The questions of immunity impact on the process of sexual selection and sexual selection for increased anti-parasite resistance are wide issues of the present research in natural sciences. Their clarification requires multidisciplinarily-based investigation combining a variety of partial results into a single united paradigm. My co-workers and I have chosen several specific issues to study, in order to fill some of the important gaps of the current knowledge. We proposed the Carotenoid maintenance handicap hypothesis to point out that optimisation instead of maximisation of the carotenoid intake and ornamental display may be physiologically convenient for the individual. In Scarlet rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus) we confirmed the role of the carotenoid-based ornamental colouration in the process of sexual selection and investigated several partial aspects of the association between immunogenetics, immune function, health and the ornament expression and mate choice. In Zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) we have shown that the present way of...

Ornamentación arquitectónica: del racionalismo al art Nouveau. Concreción en la arquitectura cartagenera del eclecticismo y el modernismo

García Córdoba, Miguel 12 March 2009 (has links)
La evolución de los planteamientos arquitectónicos tras el Barroco derivó, tras un complejo periodo de análisis, en una nueva arquitectura apoyada en unos condicionantes absolutamente nuevos. Criterios revisionistas, historicistas, técnicos o simplemente apoyados en la intencionalidad estética o expresiva dieron lugar a un nuevo estilo de difícil y, desde luego, amplia definición. A finales del XIX, también como respuesta a un largo periodo de indefinición y dogmatismos, surge el Art Nouveau.La ciudad de Cartagena presenta algunas notables singularidades en este último periodo que la hacen especialmente interesante en el campo de la ornamentación y estética arquitectónica. Sus condiciones económicas, geográficas y la personalidad de algunos de los arquitectos afincados, determinaron el desarrollo de un eclecticismo y modernismo singulares que acabaron por fundirse, generando a partir de los primeros años del siglo XX, un panorama estético digno de análisis. / The evolution of architectural approaches after the Baroque period resulted, after a complex period of analysis, in a new architecture supported by some entirely new constrains. Revisionism, historicist, technical or simply based on a aesthetic or expressive intentions criteria led to a new kind of style which was difficult to define. In the late nineteenth century, partly in response to a long period of uncertainty and dogmatism, emerged the Art Nouveau.In this period, the city of Cartagena presents some remarkable peculiarities which makes especially interesting in the field of aesthetic and architectural ornamentation. Its economic and geographic conditions, together with the personality of some of the architects settled, determined the development of a unique eclecticism and modernism that eventually merged, resulting, from the early twentieth century, in an aesthetic landscape worthy of analysis.
