A palavra ofertada: uma análise retórica e formal dos hinos gregos e da tradição hínica grega e indiana / The word as an offering: a rhetorical and stylistic study of the Greek hymns and of the Greek and Indian hymnic tradition

Macedo, José Marcos Mariani de 06 December 2007 (has links)
O objetivo do trabalho é analisar alguns elementos retóricos e estilísticos de certos hinos gregos de várias épocas. Partindo deles, são estudos também alguns hinos da tradição indiana mais antiga, contidos no Rig Veda, a fim de sugerir traços comuns a essas duas tradições hínicas indo-européias e as suas respectivas especificidades. A tese procura apontar, com base na leitura de hinos paradigmáticos, as estratégias formais dos poetas para louvar a divindade. A preocupação básica é com as estruturas dos hinos, com os expedientes de que se vale o poeta para expressar seu louvor. São descritos os meios com que, no hino grego, a divindade é atraída para perto e como, em certos poemas, essa convenção é quebrada para alcançar efeitos literários. Estudam-se pares contrastantes que estruturam a composição de determinados hinos e também como esse mesmo contraste, em outros casos, é deliberadamente borrado em benefício do louvor. Quanto aos hinos rigvédicos, sugere-se uma forma peculiar a partir do qual se estruturam, a saber, a partir do seu centro. Conclui-se que, em ambas as tradições - a grega e a indiana - o hino é uma oferenda que instaura entre deus e devoto uma relação de reciprocidade na qual ele próprio, hino, atua como objeto de troca - um objeto de troca digno da estima divina, que chama atenção sobre si mesmo à força da sua elaboração estilística e retórica. / This work aims at analyzing some rhetorical and stylistic features of some Greek hymns from various periods. Taking them as a starting point, some hymns from the Rig Veda will be studied as well, in order to assess certain common characteristics of both hymnic traditions and their peculiarities. Based on the close reading of the hymns, the author tries to show the poet\'s formal strategy to praise the deity. The structure of each hymn is a main concern, as are the devices used by the poet to give voice to his praise. As for the Greek hymns, it will be described how the poet persuades the deity to come near and how he builds his work based on contrasting pairs. As for the Rigvedic hymns, it is suggested that some of them are organized around its middle section. The conclusion to be drawn is that in both traditions - in the Greek and the Indian one - the hymn is an offering that creates a bond of reciprocity between deity and his worshipper. The hymn itself is valued in the exchange by means of its stylistic and rhetorical quality.

Sacred Sound at the Symphony: A Conductor's Guide to Faith Traditions in Choral-Orchestral Repertoire

Bott, Robert (Conductor) 05 1900 (has links)
Since most historical composers of Western art music were European Christians (or resided in areas that were primarily populated by Christians), a vast majority of the sacred choral-orchestral repertoire is based on major figures and themes from the most prominent denominations, including Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism. As a corollary this is also the case for analytical, pedagogical, and exegetical literature related to the topic. However, in the late nineteenth century some composers began to look to other faith traditions for inspiration, which resulted in compositions based on texts that are less-familiar to Western audience members and performers. Despite the fact that many of these pieces are innovative and well-written, few, if any, have entered the standard repertoire. Because of this they are under-represented in both performance and extant music literature. The purpose of this study is to examine three compositions from this marginalized category in order to produce a guide that provides salient information on the religious/cultural background and musical aspects of each work. This guide will serve as a resource for conductors to facilitate an understanding of and connection with the text, allow informed programming decisions, and promote approaches that are appropriate and respectful to the religious source material. The pieces selected for investigation are Gustav Holst's Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda, Op. 26: First Group, Lili Boulanger's Vielle Prière Bouddhique (Old Buddhist Prayer), and Robert Cundick's The Redeemer.
