Do repertório para percussão vinculada à noção de Processo Gradual, conceito criado por Reich (1968), extraíram-se Modelos para Processos Criativos em Percussão (MPCP). O estudo pormenorizado desses modelos permitiu a articulação de nuances, detalhes e diferenças existentes nos processos graduais aplicados à percussão, aqui representada pelo instrumento africano Djembê. O processamento computacional permitiu identificar, organizar, controlar e expandir as diferenças presentes nas estruturas sonoras através da criação de uma Taxonomia de Gestos Musicais Interpretativos (TGMI). Analisou-se o espectrograma para medir as frequências características e as durações das ressonâncias do Djembê. Tais medições, relacionadas às características físicas e geométricas do instrumento e com a parametrização da TGMI, nortearam o desenvolvimento de processos de interação musical. Adotaram-se, ainda, outros dois componentes na metodologia de pesquisa: 1) Modelagem sonora pré-composicional em que amostras sonoras do Djembê foram gravadas, analisadas e relacionadas às possibilidades de controle por computador - procedimento realizado em tempo diferido. O processo de análise foi conduzido à aplicação sistemática dos MPCP em Estudos Recursivos para Improvisação em Tempo Real; 2) Oficinas de criação em que foram relacionados ciclos musicais aplicados ao Djembê e manipulados pela improvisação via programação em Pure Data (PD), em tempo real. Ao final, concluiu-se que o conceito de Processo Gradual de Reich, relacionado aos instrumentos de percussão, foi ampliado com a TGMI desenvolvida durante a pesquisa. O processamento computacional vinculado a recursividade permitiram a manipulação de nuances sonoras encontradas nas oficinas, que produziram novos modelos timbrístico texturais no contexto da performance musical mediada por processos tecnológicos / Abstract: This Thesis presents a research on creative processes focusing composition and improvisation with percussion instruments and technology. It is a study on an application of Music Gradual Processes and recursive structures to musical improvisation. More specifically, it studies works composed for percussion based on the notion of Gradual Process, a concept created by Reich (1968), and extract from them Models for Creative Processes in Percussion (MPCP). The detailed study of these models brought up the possibility of articulating the nuances, details, variations on gradual processes applied to percussion. Further, we apply these models in compositional studies for the African percussion instrument - Djembe. The recursive models enabled to organize, control and expand the variation sound structures through the development of a methodology for a Taxonomy of Interpretive Musical Gestures (TGMI) of the Djembe. We analyzed the spectrogram to measure characteristic frequencies and durations of resonances produced by the Djembe. Such quantitative measures, which are related to the physical and geometrical characteristics of this instrument, enabled musical interaction in real time. In addition to this quantitative analysis, research methodology was based on two other components: 1) Workshops where the Djembe sound samples were recorded, analyzed and related to control via digital technology - procedure performed off-line; 2) Workshops in which they were created music cycles applied to African percussion instruments and manipulated through improvisation, used to generate melodic textural profiles programmatically in Pure Data (PD), a procedure performed in real time. Then the analysis was conducted to a systematic development of recursive MPCP Studies for Improvisation in real time. The Thesis conclusion point out to: Reich's Gradual Process concept, related exclusively with percussion instruments, has been expanded with the TGMI and computer processing enabled creation of new models for timbre and textural improvisation and for studying musical performance mediated by digital technology / Doutorado / Processos Criativos / Doutor em Música

The choice was to take on music as a guiding axis for the work to be developed. During the process, fourth grade students from an elementary state school in Campinas (SP) participated in this research, indicated by its managing team. The main objective of the research was to investigate how can music contribute to the development of specific knowledge about written language, in fourth grade students from elementary school, which presented important literacy lags, in order to enhance their literacy process. Considering this, the following specific objectives were outlined: (i) to meet the kind of work that students experience at school, regarding written language; (ii) to identify, through actions that students participating in the research have in the classroom, their difficulties regarding the appropriation of written language; (iii) to promote experiences with literacy activities involving music; (iv) to examine, in the light of historical-cultural theory, the interpsychological and intrapsychological processes that can highlight changes in students. For this, the methodological procedures used were: registering field observations of participants in classrooms; recorded interviews with faculty and coordination; recorded interviews of conversations with students; documentary analysis of students' written production through their notebooks. All procedures were performed before the beginning and after the period in which all intervention meetings occurred ? in sum, twenty-two meetings were held with seven students who attended the fourth grade of elementary school, during the second semester of 2016, recorded by video camera recorders and followed by literal transcription. This research was based on the theoretical framework of Vygotsky's cultural-historical dialogue with the discursive perspective of literacy. The data analysis was done by thematic nuclei created from the similarity from which the empirical material was presented to each other. Two cores were created: music as an educational resource, which involved exploiting specific aspects of language; and music as language, which involved exploring the discourse aspect of the song. The research presented a favorable scenario to the educational field by reflecting how teachers work with written language, aiming student?s development, expanding their language skills and contributing on discussions of teachers? formation and pedagogical practices of literacy. It is concluded that music as a form of language and mediating instrument can be a strong ally to engage students with written culture, approaching children of the literate world and promoting, with this approach, a greater understanding of its process. / O presente estudo ? uma pesquisa participante do tipo interven??o, que conta com alunos de ciclo de alfabetiza??o conclu?do, sem, no entanto, estarem alfabetizados. A m?sica foi assumida como eixo norteador do trabalho. Participaram alunos do 4? ano do Ensino Fundamental, indicados pela equipe gestora de uma escola estadual do munic?pio de Campinas (SP). O objetivo principal ? investigar de que maneira a m?sica pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos espec?ficos sobre a linguagem escrita em alunos do 4? ano do Ensino Fundamental que apresentavam defasagens importantes no processo de alfabetiza??o, visando potencializ?-lo. Para tal, delinearam-se os seguintes objetivos espec?ficos: (i) conhecer o tipo de trabalho vivenciado pelos alunos na escola em rela??o ? linguagem escrita; (ii) identificar, por meio das a??es que os alunos participantes da pesquisa t?m em sala de aula, suas dificuldades em rela??o ? apropria??o da linguagem escrita; (iii) promover experi?ncias com atividades de alfabetiza??o que envolvam a m?sica; (iv) analisar, ? luz da teoria hist?rico-cultural, os processos interpsicol?gicos e intrapsicol?gicos que evidenciam movimentos de mudan?as nos alunos. Os procedimentos metodol?gicos utilizados foram: registro em di?rio de campo das observa??es participantes nas salas de aula; audiograva??o de entrevistas com coordena??o e corpo docente; audiograva??o de conversas com discentes envolvidos; an?lise documental de cadernos de produ??o escrita dos alunos. Os procedimentos realizaram-se antes do in?cio e ap?s o per?odo em que os encontros de interven??o ocorreram ? ao todo 22 encontros com sete alunos de 4? ano durante o segundo semestre de 2016, registrados por videograva??o e seguidos de transcri??o literal. Teve como base o referencial te?rico hist?rico-cultural de Vigotski em di?logo com a perspectiva discursiva de alfabetiza??o. A an?lise de dados foi feita por n?cleos tem?ticos criados a partir da similaridade que o material emp?rico apresentava entre si. Dois n?cleos foram criados: a m?sica como recurso pedag?gico, que envolveu a explora??o de aspectos espec?ficos da l?ngua; e a m?sica como linguagem, que envolveu a explora??o do aspecto discursivo da can??o. A pesquisa apresentou, para o campo educacional, cen?rio favor?vel ? reflex?o de um trabalho com a linguagem escrita, visando o desenvolvimento dos alunos, a amplia??o de suas compet?ncias lingu?sticas e a contribui??o para discuss?es sobre forma??o de professores e pr?ticas pedag?gicas de alfabetiza??o. Concluiu-se que a m?sica, como linguagem e recurso mediador, pode ser aliada no envolvimento dos alunos com a cultura escrita, aproximando-os do mundo letrado e promovendo sua compreens?o.

Prägnanz is a single movement composition for orchestra. This composition reflects the influence of minimalist composers such as Phillip Glass and Steve Reich. The structure of the piece is generated by a rhythmic motive that is transformed through a large-scale additive process. This overarching process is periodically interrupted by contrasting episodes, creating a form similar to a rondo. Several themes and gestures are explored, including a phasing rhythmic motive. The harmonic language is static, almost monolithic, in order to accentuate the gradual motion of the piece towards its goal. The title comes from Gestalt psychology; the Law of Prägnanz describes how the mind perceives simplicity within the complexity of reality. This tendency is mirrored in the piece through the focus on the central motivic transformation in spite of the complexity of contrasting themes, orchestrations, and gestures.

It is not just about achieving an advanced age, but also how will the life in this period look like. Even in this time it is possible to influence the quality of life to a certain extent by positive thinking and own activity. This thesis aims to ascertain an impact of active making music to a quality of life in an advanced age. It is focused on life style, life events, family life, social contacts and value system of seniors, which actively make music. The thesis is based on qualitative research, in which a narrative and semi-controlled interview was taken in natural environment of the respondents. All interviews were recorded on a voice recorder with consent of every respondent. Complete interviews are saved in mp3 files on an enclosed CD. Written transcriptions of the interviews are attached as a further annex of this thesis. These were kept in colloquial form of the language for the sake of authenticity, however, due to its length were shortened. During interviews an observation of an exterior, behavior and expression of respondent and his surroundings took place. Gathered data were evaluated by means of analysis of individual cases, comparison of these cases along with simple enumeration method. As emerged from the research, active making music influences positively the quality of life in advanced age. It prevents social isolation, creates and consolidates friendly relations and dilutes inter-generation differences. It supports will and persistence. It helps the seniors keeping their mental freshness. Music enriches emotional life and gives the life a further dimension.
