Stanley Friedman is a composer of many works, primarily for brass instruments, that have become part of the standard repertoire. Solus, for Trumpet Unaccompanied, for example, appears on many audition and competition lists, as do others of his works. On the other hand, Laude: Four Character Sketches for Solo Trumpet, commissioned by the International Trumpet Guild in 1980, is unfortunately not widely known among trumpet performers and educators. The intent of this study is to demonstrate, through discussion and analysis, the qualities and potential appeal of this lesser-known work and to renew interest in its performance. Among the six chapters is an overview of Laude, including an explanation of Friedman's peculiar titles for each movement: Nocturne for St. Thomas, Phantasie für Der Wiz, Berceuse for John Julius, and Rondo for Professor Nabob. Other chapters discuss the procedure for analysis of the work and probable sources for melodic material. The motivic development and form of each movement of the work are also explored. The final chapter includes recommendations for the performance of Laude and is followed by a summary and conclusion.

Cette thèse monographique, consacrée à l'oeuvre filmique du cinéaste expérimental Stan Brakhage, constitue un apport en histoire et en esthétique du cinéma. Une recherche en archives a permis l'analyse de la filmographie complète du cinéaste composée de près de quatre cent films réalisés entre 1952 et 2003, et l'étude de ses archives non-film. Cette thèse propose une synthèse de ces analyses, dans une étude stylistique de l'oeuvre filmique du cinéaste.L'étude stylistique est fondée sur des analyses esthétiques, formelles et iconographiques.Un style naturaliste a pu être identifié et défini, avec en particulier les théories du naturalisme de Worringer dans Abstraction et Einfühlung, de Kris dans Le Style rustique, et de Zola avec la méthode expérimentale, réactualisées avec les théories du modernisme dont de Greenberg, et adaptées aux formes cinématographiques avec les théories d'Eisenstein et de Brakhage. Cette thèse stylistique prétend donner une synthèse d'ensemble monographique. / This monographic thesis, dedicated to the film work of the experimental film-maker Stan Brakhage, constitutes a contribution in film history and aesthetics. A research in archives allowed the analysis of the complete filmography of the film-maker composed of about four hundred films made between 1952 and 2003, and the study of its non-film archives. This thesis provides a synthesis of these analyses, in a stylistic study of the film work of the film-maker.Stylistic study is founded on aesthetic, formalist and iconographic analyses. A naturalist style could be identified and defined, with particularly the theories of the naturalism byWorringer in Abstraction and Einfühlung, by Kris on rustic style, and by Zola with experimentalmethod, updated with the theories of modernism including by Greenberg, and adapted to filmforms with the theories of Eisenstein and Brakhage. This stylistic thesis pretends to give anoverall monographic synthesis.

This document examines the technical execution of extended techniques incorporated in the musical structure of Solus, and explores the benefits of introducing the work into the curriculum of a college level trumpet studio. Compositional style, form, technical accessibility, and pedagogical benefits are investigated in each of the four movements. An interview with the composer forms the foundation for the history of the composition as well as the genesis of some of the extended techniques and programmatic ideas.

The Mayors and Independents Movement (STAN) is in many aspects of the Czech party system a specific political entity to which has been paid insufficient attention in the academic sphere so far. Therefore, this diploma thesis comprehensively presents the origin and development of the Mayors and Independents movement in a descriptive form of a case study. Partial research questions aim to assess the degree of institutionalization of the STAN movement from the point of view of the theories of the authors Angel Panebianc or Vicky Randall and Lars Svåsand as well as the placement among the classical typologies of political parties from the point of view of internal party organization. The first part is analytical research focused on internal party processes, organizational settings, mutual relations between stakeholders, membership status and analysis of the structure of the STAN movement. The second part is devoted to the ideological and programmatic definition of the STAN movement, within which, in addition to program documents and attitudes of leading actors, the self-profile of the membership base from the data of the questionnaire survey is examined. Last but not least, the work also deals with relations with other political entities in terms of coalition potential for the formation of...
