Le Sinawi, évolution et artistisation : études analytiques des caractéristiques musicales / Sinawi, evolution and artistisation : analytical studies of musical characteristics

Shon, Eun-Kyung 31 May 2012 (has links)
La tradition se balance entre la continuité de l’ancien et l’évolution, le changement. C’est le cas du sinawi, une des musiques instrumentales populaires de la Corée. Cette musique complexe, improvisée et hétérophonique, interprétée par un ensemble instrumental qui était utilisée lors des rituels chamaniques comme accompagnement du chant et de la danse des chamanes, est devenu au fil du temps une musique purement instrumentale de scène et artistique représentant la tradition populaire du pays. Dans cette thèse, l’auteur propose particulièrement une étude analytique des caractéristiques musicales (phrases musicales, forme) des divers sinawi à partir de ses transcriptions pour percevoir comment le sinawi parle, exprime la vie du peuple puis comment celui-ci évolue dans le temps et pour observer ainsi son évolution et son artistisation jusqu’à nos jours où il est présenté comme une musique purement instrumentale de scène. Cette musique qui est à l’origine des musiques populaires coréennes les plus connues comme le sanjo ou le p’ansori est aujourd’hui influencée de retour par ces genres. Aussi, les analyses permettent de constater que l’improvisation et l’hétérophonie qui qualifiaient cette musique complexe sont remplacées par la simplicité et la structure. / The tradition emerges from a balance between the continuity and the evolution, the change of the old. This is the case of sinawi, one of the Korean traditional instrumental music. This complex, improvised and heterophonic music played by an instrumental ensemble was used in shamanic rituals as accompaniment of song and dance of shamans. Over time, it became an artistic instrumental music representing the popular tradition of the country. Throughout this thesis, the author proposes the analytical studies of various sinawi’s musical characteristics (e.g., musical phrases, form) from her own transcriptions. This study characterizes how the sinawi speaks, expresses the life of the people and how it has been changing over time. The author also presents sinawi’s evolution and its artistisation process to the present day where it is performed on stage as a pure instrumental music. The sinawi, which is at the origin of the Korean popular music, the best known as sanjo or p'ansori, is now influenced back by these genres. Also, the analysis reveals that the improvisation and the heterophony that rated this complex music are replaced by the structure and the simplicity.

Shaping popular culture : radio broadcasting, mass entertainment and the work of the BBC Variety Department, 1933-1967

Dibbs, Martin G. R. January 2012 (has links)
This thesis examines the extent to which the BBC was able to shape the output of popular culture on radio in Britain, according to its own system of beliefs, between the years 1933 and 1967. This research will show that from the outset, the BBC was an institution with a mission to inform, educate and entertain the nation. While it was not opposed to entertainment, its focus was didactic and supported a mission to improve its audience both culturally and intellectually. This policy was not always welcomed by the audience but, with the exception of the war years, persisted into mid 1950s. The Variety Department was formed in 1933 to produce all forms of light entertainment and this research will examine how its policies shaped the production of popular culture over the period concerned. This study looks not only at the workings of the Variety Department but also the topics of Americanisation and vulgarity, the two areas in which the BBC had particular sensitivities. It analyses the BBC's strategies to counteract the American effect on popular music and spoken-word programmes and how it provided its own particularly British form of entertainment in order to produce programmes it considered suitable for British audiences. It also investigates programme censorship imposed by the BBC to mitigate vulgarity in programmes, so as to produce those it considered suitable for its audiences. This thesis will contend that for over 40 years the BBC Variety Department produced popular entertainment programmes on radio which became an integral part of people's daily lives until, within a few years radio was superseded by television as the nation's principal provider of domestic entertainment. There has been no discrete study of the BBC Variety Department and it is intended that this research will add to the existing scholarship in BBC history and contribute to the analysis of radio's place in domestic popular culture in the period examined.

Heavy South: Identity, Performance, and Heavy Music in the Southern Metal Scene

Mcdowell, Michael A. 30 June 2016 (has links)
The Southern Metal scene depends heavily on the performance of a Southern Identity. While considerable research has been done on other musical genres and scenes from the American South (country music, blues, gospel music), less attention has been given to the extreme metal scene of Southern Metal. Using scholarship of Nadine Hubbs, Philip Auslander, Jefferey C. Alexander, and Keith Kahn Harris, among others, I analyze two films, Slow Southern Steel (2010) and NOLA: Life, Death, and Heavy Blues from the Bayou (2014), and one song, Down’s “Eyes of the South” as cultural productions of this Southern Metal scene. In this project, I define the musical elements and scene ethos of Southern Metal as they relate to a wider, more mainstream American audience and describe how these identities and cultural forms are produced, negotiated, and embodied.

A holistic approach to consumption analysis in the popular music market

Scheckter, Jonathan January 2006 (has links)
This thesis seeks to gain a holistic understanding of consumption issues in the popular music market, such that it needs to account for the influence of 1) technological factors, 2) institutional factors, 3) cultural factors, and 4) an ontological aspect; as these are identified to be the most prominent aspects in the literature on the market. While there is a bourgeoning literature on the market, there has been little formal attempt to link such issues in a comprehensive fashion. The methodology applied provides a critique of the literature on specific consumption theories which have apparent pertinence to the music market. Each of the sociological, psychological, and economic theories (neoclassical and radical) is found to be too generalized to provide such an understanding, in that many issues concerning the music market would need to be eschewed if these theories were to be applied in an orthodox fashion. Moreover, the theories tend to point towards each other for the possibility of a credible, holistic consumption analysis. The most useful and all-encompassing consumption theory reviewed is the systems of provision approach advanced by Fine and Leopold (1993), in that the approach aims to be sensitive to the difference between commodities in terms of the economic and social processes and structures by which they become commodities, and thus it can allow one to consider adequately the four requirements identified above for a holistic understanding of the market. This approach is then applied to the western music market with the aim of 1) testing the approach identified, and 2) making a specific comment of the market. The market is found to be characterized historically by three distinct periods, each with distinct systems of provision (i.e. each with the four factors identified above relating to each other in a certain manner). It is proposed that preference formations in the final period identified have been institutionalized to a large extent, and there is a low probability of change occurring. The systems of provision approach is argued to be beneficial in highlighting which aspects of the existing consumption theories are relevant to the market at a point in time, and to what extent. Thus the richness of the approach stems from its ability to gain a holistic understanding, and to identify theoretical discussion topics, such as those concerning political economy. The approach is then applied to the South African music market, using the same historical methodology, in conjunction with current empirical evidence from the market. Doing this allows one to test the generality of the systems of provision approach, and to attempt to make a comment on the South African market. The techniques for obtaining empirical evidence are argued to be sound, but resource constraints prevented the research from reflecting a holistic view of the market. Nonetheless, a rich perspective is provided from interviews with prominent agents in the market, and thus the chapter is argued to provide the beginning of an understanding of preference formations in the South African music market, in which little research has been conducted (Stella, 2005).

De la naissance du « Miami sound » : logiques de transnationalisation et de territorialisation de l’industrie musicale latino / “Miami Sound” : Transnationalization and Territorialization of the Latin American Music Industry

Bénistant, Alix 16 November 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur l’émergence d’une industrie musicale à Miami, spécialisée dans la production, la promotion et la distribution de la musique dite latino. Elle montre comment la ville floridienne s’est progressivement établie, à partir du début des années 1980, en un lieu central d’élaboration d’une catégorie musicale réifiée, co-construite par les industries culturelles, les médias et les musiciens. Cette recherche en sciences de l’information et de la communication s’inscrit dans une démarche au croisement de l’économie politique critique de la communication, de la socioéconomie des industries culturelles et des Latino studies. Elle a pour objectif de décrypter les mécanismes à l’œuvre dans la création de nouvelles formes musicales au sein d’environnements politiques et économiques spécifiques, la réappropriation et intégration de ces nouvelles esthétiques dans le circuit des industries culturelles, et, enfin, leur exploitation transmédiatique à des échelles multiples. / This thesis focuses on the emergence of a Miami music industry specializing in the Latin music production, promotion and distribution. It shows how the Floridian city has progressively been established as a central location for a reified musical category, co-constructed by cultural industries, media and musicians in the early 1980s. This research in information and communication sciences is at the crossroads of critical political economy and Latino studies approaches. It aims at describing the mechanisms that are at work in the creation of new musical forms, within specific political and economic contexts; the re-appropriation and integration of these new aesthetics in the cultural industries processes; and their transmedia exploitation on multiple scales.

La Guardia Vieja : el vals criollo y la formación de la ciudadanía en las clases populares : estrategias de representación y de negociación en la consolidación del vals popular limeño (1885-­‐1930) / Strategies of representation and negotiation in the making of citizenship among Lima's popular classes : the Guardia Vieja and the consolidation of popular Creole waltz (1885--1930) / La Guardia Vieja : le vals criollo et la formation de la citoyenneté dans les classes populaires : stratégies de représentation et de négociation dans la consolitation du vals populaire de Lima (1885-­‐1930)

Rohner, Fred 06 December 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse analyse les formes d’autoreprésentation et de négociation mises en oeuvre dans le domaine musical par les classes populaires liméniennes afin de dépasser leur marginalité dans la société péruvienne de la fin du XIX ème siècle et du début du XXème. Tout au long de cette thèse l’analyse tend à démontrer comment la consolidation du vals criollo liménien, dans ce secteur précis de la population, obéit à un ensemble de stratégies destinées à présenter une nouvelle image du sujet populaire comme faisant partie des secteurs civilisés de la nation. Pour ce faire, on examine enpremier lieu l’espace occupé par le vals et celui de cette génération nommée Guardia vieja dans l’espace culturel liménien. Afin de comprendre le processus d’intégration du vals comme élément du capital sonore des liméniens de classe populaire on analyse les différents espaces musicaux qui ont permis le passage de ce genre musical des salons des élites aux demeures des artisans et des ouvriers. Enfin on analyse les modalités selon lesquelles ces sujets ont créé cette nouvelle représentation d’eux-mêmes à travers l’adoption et l’appropriation d’un ensemble de codes, d’objets musicaux et d’images sonores qui les montraient comme patriotes, modernes et lettrés / This dissertation examines the practices of self-representation and denial deployed by Lima’s popular classes to challenge, from the musical sphere, their marginal place in late 19th and early 20th-century Peruvian society. It demonstrates how the consolidation of the "vals criollo" allowed this social group to project a new image of the "popularsubject", now integrated into the civilized body of the Nation. For this purpose, I examine the role of the waltz and the generation of musicians known as "la Guarda Vieja" in Lima's cultural universe. To understand the process of inclusion of the waltz in the musical capital of the popular classes in Lima, I study the different musical spaces that allowed the migration of this genre from the elite's salons to the homes of the working class. Finally, the dissertation explores the ways in which these individuals created that new representation of themselves through the adoption and appropriation ofa code, musical objects and images that depicted them as patriots, modern and learned subjects / Esta tesis analiza las formas de autorepresentación y de negociación que pusieron en práctica las clases populares limeñas desde el ámbito musical para remontar el lugar marginal que ocupaban en la sociedad peruana entre fines del siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del siglo XX. A lo largo de este trabajo se demuestra cómo la consolidación del vals criollo limeño entre este sector de la población obedeció a un conjunto de estrategias destinadas a presentar una nueva imagen del sujeto popular que lo mostrara como parte del cuerpo civilizado de la nación. Para ello se examina en primer lugar cuál es el lugar del vals y de aquella generación denominada la Guardia Vieja en el universo cultural limeño. Con la finalidad de comprender el proceso de ingreso del vals como parte del capital sonoro de los limeños de las clases populares se analizan los distintos espacios musicales que permitieron el tránsito de este género musical desde los salones de las élites hasta llegar a las habitaciones del artesano y del obrero. Finalmente se analizan los modos en que estos sujetos crearon esa nueva representación de sí mismos a través de la adopción y de la apropiación de un conjunto de códigos, de objetos musicales y de imágenes sonoras que los mostrasen como patriotas, como modernos y como letrados

La musique populaire brésilienne : miroir de la société / Brazilian popular music : a mirror of the society

Dreyfus, Dominique 15 December 2011 (has links)
Ce travail a pour objet d’étudier l’articulation entre musique populaire et société brésiliennes. L’hypothèse posée étant que la première est un reflet de la seconde. S’agissant d’une thèse sur publications, il se compose de deux parties : un mémorandum et un corpus. Les quatre chapitres du mémorandum introduisent et développent ma thèse. Après une étude préliminaire de concepts abordés dans la thèse, tels que "musique populaire" ou "miroir de la société" ainsi que les cheminements qui ont permis à la musique populaire d’acquérir une légitimité qu’elle n’a pas toujours eu, le deuxième chapitre étudie le processus de formation de la musique brésilienne, ses origines, son évolution. Pour cela, j’étudie tout d’abord les sources (littéraires, iconographiques) qui ont permis de connaître et comprendre cette histoire. J’y expose les différentes catégories musicales qui en résultent. Poursuivant l’interrogation sur la pertinence du sujet, j’étudie dans le troisième chapitre quelques genres exemplaires de la musique populaire brésilienne. Enfin, à travers la présentation et le commentaire du corpus, je vérifie que les publications présentées répondent bien thèse défendue. La deuxième partie est constituée par treize textes – publications universitaires, articles de presse, ouvrages théoriques – publiés entre 1981 et 2011. Sélectionnés parmi un ensemble de publications diverses datant de cette période, ils ont été retenus pour leur pertinence en égard au sujet de ce travail. Ils ont été regroupés thématiquement. Un premier chapitre est constitué par deux biographies d’artistes (Luiz Gonzaga et Baden Powell) en langue portugaise et leur résumé en français. Le deuxième, de publications portant sur l’Histoire générale de la musique brésilienne ; le troisième, d’articles sur la musique du Nordeste ; et le quatrième d’articles sur la musique de Rio. / The purpose of this work is to study the relations between music and society in Brazil — with the general assumption that the former reflects the latter. Since it is defended as a thèse sur publications, it consists of two parts: a memorandum and a corpus of published books and articles. The four chapters of the memorandum introduce and develop my thesis. After preliminary study of basic concepts (like "popular music" or "mirror of society") and a brief examination of how popular music was eventually acknowledged as genuine art, the second chapter investigates the origins and the evolution of Brazilian music. One prerequisite was to list and evaluate the sources (archives, interviews, scholarly works, literature) from which we can draw information and understanding on the matter. Following this, I have tried, to classify Brazilian music in genres and sub-genres. The third chapter offers a closer study of those I consider as the major ones. The fourth of this part checks that the forthcoming selection of publications tallies, as it should with the subject of the dissertation. The second part consists of thirteen books and articles published between 1981 and 2011. I have selected them for their relevancy to the specific questions here raised, and I have rearranged them according to content, regardless of chronology. The first chapter includes the biographies of Luiz Gonzaga and Baden Powell (written in Portuguese). The second brings together various publications about the history of Brazilian music. The third deals with music in the Nordeste and the fourth with music in Rio de Janeiro.

O presente trabalho compreende, então, a descrição e análise musicais do programa desenvolvido pelo professor ao longo de seus vinte anos docentes na Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de sua trajetória de vida a fim de obter índices orientadores de seus procedimentos didáticos e escolhas estéticas. O estudo foi dimensionado a partir de duas perspectivas: a biográfica e a sócio-cultural. Assim, foi possível constatar que Gogô fez parte de uma geração marcada pelo aprendizado informal e que sistematizou seu conhecimento a partir dos métodos norte-americanos. No entanto, foi um dos poucos dessa geração que desenvolveu uma carreira docente na Universidade. É nesse trânsito entre os ambientes de produção de música popular e a Universidade que se processa a síntese do aprendizado informal e do ensino formal nos procedimentos didáticos de Gogô. Por um lado, o professor reproduz em sala de aula elementos do ensino formal, como a padronização e sistematização dos conteúdos presentes nos métodos norte-americanos. Por outro lado, há uma constante inserção de elementos da aprendizagem informal em sua metodologia, como a abordagem individual dos alunos e a promoção do conceito professor-facilitador. Verifica-se, pois, um processo de construção e desconstrução em suas aulas, subjugando os aspectos formais e padronizadores à informalidade. Dessa maneira, é possível identificar a trajetória percorrida por Gogô em suas aulas: da prática e da vivência musical ao estudo dirigido; da atuação profissional à formação acadêmica; do aprendizado informal ao ensino sistematizado / Abstract: It is under the context of formalization of popular music in higher education, that Hilton Jorge "Gogô" is featured for actively participating in this process of formalization. The present work comprises, therefore, the description and musical analysis of Gogô?s pedagogical procedures, developed during his twenty-year tenure as a professor of popular piano at UNICAMP. A study of his life trajectory was also realized in order to understand the base reference of his pedagogical procedures and aesthetic choices. This study has been designed from the stand point of two perspectives: the biographic and the socio-cultural. It was then possible to find that Gogô was part of a generation characterized by an informal process of learning which systematized its knowledge according to North-American methods. He was, however, one of the few in his generation to develop an academic career at the University. It is in this transit between the environments of popular music production and the University that the synthesis of the informal and formal learning processes found in Gogô?s pedagogical procedures is processed. On one hand, the professor reproduces in the class room elements of formal learning present in the North-American methods, such as the standardization and systematization of contents. On the other hand, there is a constant insertion of elements of informal learning in his methodology, such as the individual approach to each student and the promotion of the concept of the professor-facilitator. Therefore, it is possible to verify a process of construction and deconstruction in his classes, submitting the formal and standard aspects of the teaching to the informality, and indentify the trajectory followed by Gogô in his classes: from the practice and musical experiences to the directed study; from the professional practice to the academic training; from the informal learning to the systematized teaching / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestra em Música

A escrita coral para a Música Popular Brasileira na visão de Marcos Leite / The choral writing for Brazilian Popular Music in view of Marcos Leite

Soares, Lineu Formighieri 22 August 2018 (has links)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Soares_LineuFormighieri_M.pdf: 27154840 bytes, checksum: 5961aedae6e3a07d479915cf12b951bf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo entender a linguagem e os procedimentos técnicos e artísticos adotados pelo compositor e arranjador Marcos Leite. Para tanto foi traçado um panorama histórico do movimento coral brasileiro, a partir da década de 1960, como base para as práticas que solidificaram esse fazer musical ao longo dos anos. Para a análise da escrita vocal de Marcos Leite foram escolhidas as canções Jura, Rosa dos Ventos e The Fool on The Hill, arranjos produzidos especificamente para o Coral da Cultura Inglesa (Cobra Coral) e para o grupo vocal Garganta Profunda. Os trechos musicais foram analisados sob os aspectos técnicos de forma, estrutura e textura, bem como os procedimentos de encadeamento harmônico. Concluiu-se que, mesmo em canções com diferentes níveis de dificuldade, os elementos coloquiais característicos da linguagem popular foram mantidos. Os arranjos apresentam equilíbrio nas disposições vocais, aliando a simplicidade característica do autor com elementos criativos nos contracantos, como geradores de interesse. O estudo aponta a significância da obra de Marcos Leite e seus contemporâneos, no sentido de renovar a prática coral, e estabelecer parâmetros inovadores que influenciem os regentes e arranjadores atuais / Abstract: The goal of this research was to understand the language and technical and artistic procedures adopted by composer and arranger Marcos Leite. As such, a historical overview of the Brazilian choral movement was traced starting in the 1960s as a foundation for the practices that solidified this musical activity through the years. In order to analyze the vocal writing of Marcos Leite, the songs Jura, Rosa dos Ventos and The Fool on the Hill were chosen, with arrangements produced specifically for the Cultura Inglesa Chorus (Cobra Coral) and for the vocal group Garganta Profunda. The musical excerpts were analyzed under the technical aspects of form, structure and texture, as well as procedures of harmonic structure. It was concluded that, even in songs with varying levels of difficulty, the colloquial elements that are characteristic to popular language were maintained. The arrangements show balance in all vocal parts, allying the characteristic simplicity of the composer with creative elements in the countermelodies as interest generators. This study points the significance of the work of Marcos Leite and his contemporaries in the sense of renewing the practice of choral music and establishing innovative parameters that influence conductors and arrangers of today / Mestrado / Praticas Interpretativas / Mestre em Música
