Syncopation : unifying music theory and perceptionSong, Chunyang January 2014 (has links)
Syncopation is a fundamental feature of rhythm in music. However, the relationship between theory and perception is currently not well understood. This thesis is concerned with characterising this relationship and identifying areas where the theory is incomplete. We start with a review of relevant musicological background and theory. Next, we use psychophysical data to characterise the perception of syncopation for simple rhythms. We then analyse the predictions of current theory using this data and identify strengths and weaknesses in the theory. We then introduce further psychophysical data which characterises the perception of syncopation for simple rhythms at different tempi. This leads to revised theory and a new model of syncopation that is tempo-dependent.

A sincronização em dois ritmos da canção: uma observação experimental acerca da fala cantada / The Entrainment in two rhythms of the song: an experimental observation about sung speechSantos, Cássio Augusto Alves de Andrade 02 July 2012 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta um estudo acerca da fala cantada com o português brasileiro inserido no contexto da canção popular. Utilizando como base o processo de sincronização entre os pares de quatro duplas de cantores, elaboramos um experimento fatorial com dois fatores, denominados Ritmo da Canção e Ponto de Observação de Sincronização. Com o fator Ritmo da Canção, buscamos observar se a fala cantada inserida no contexto sincopado, no caso o da bossa-nova, é mais difícil de ser realizada quando comparada a mesma inserida no contexto não sincopado, aqui o do rock. Com o fator Ponto de Observação de Sincronização buscamos observar se os sujeitos têm a mesma capacidade de sincronização em inícios e em finais de frases. Ambos os cálculos foram realizados através das medidas das lags, diferença temporal entre os Pontos de Observação de Sincronização dos cantores de uma mesma dupla, ou seja, ora separamos as lags por canções (fator Ritmo da Canção), ora separamos por ponto (fator Ponto de Observação de Sincronização). Em paralelo, e de forma a complementar o estudo fonético-acústico, observamos o desenvolvimento métrico-acentual das canções, comparando os acentos lingüísticos e os musicais das canções utilizadas. O conjunto de resultados obtidos por meio de cálculos estatísticos e as observações métricoacentuais indicam que os cantores apresentam maior facilidade em realizar a tarefa pedida cantar o mais sincrônico possível no contexto no qual o ritmo de acompanhamento das canções não era sincopado, assim como indica maior facilidade em sincronizar nos finais de sentenças. / This paper presents a study about the Brazilian Portuguese placed in the context of the song. Using as a base the entrainment process between pairs of four pairs of singers, we designed a factorial experiment with two factors, called Rhythm of the Song and Entrainment Observation Point. With the factor Rhythm of the Song, we observe whether the speech into the context of singing bossa-nova is more difficult to achieve when compared to the same inserted in the context of rock. With the factor Entrainment Observation Point we seek to observe whether individuals have the same ability to sync at the beginning and end of sentences. Both calculations were performed by measuring the lag, time difference between entrainment observation points of the singers of the same pair, i.e., separated the lag by songs (factor Rhythm of the Song), and separated by Entrainment Observation Point (factor Entrainment Observation Point). In parallel, and to complement the acousticphonetic study, we observed the development of accentual metric-songs comparing the linguistic and musical accents of the songs used. The set of results obtained by statistical calculation and accentual-metric observations indicates that the singers have it easier to perform the requested task - to sing as synchronous as possible - in the context in which the rhythm accompaniment of songs was not syncopated, so ease as indicated to sync at the end of sentences.

Urban Rhythms of Washington DCMoshier, Zachary Stephen 11 July 2016 (has links)
How can architecture serve as a catalyst to strengthen a transitioning neighborhood without displacing or replacing the local community?
Cities bear the weight of continual change. Across the United States, urban communities wrestle the boundary between the desires of gentrification and concerns for maintaining cultural identity. These ethos are expressed in both the social and physical fabric of the neighborhood. What buildings do we save? What goes away? Can something new introduce value yet inherently belong to the neighborhood? While these questions hold relevance in any city, each city holds a unique DNA. Why does Washington DC feel different than Chicago, New York, or Philadelphia? How does the architecture manifest this genetic code?
I began to seek an architectural program where I could explore these questions. As a trained jazz drummer, I desired to create a place that could become a laboratory for jazz music and performance, while simultaneously serving the artist, student, patron and neighborhood. The streets of DC have a rhythm, a genetic code. How can this code be studied and interpreted through the lens of jazz music? Architecture is rhythmic. Users become improvisational dialogue within the form of architecture. My thesis developed these questions and concepts to create a physical home for the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. (currently headquartered in Washington DC). The chosen site is located in the city's transitioning Greater U Street neighborhood. / Master of Architecture

Analysis and Categorization of Selected Musical Elements within Forty-three Solo Jazz Vocal "Standards" with Pedagogical Application to Repertoire Selection and the Teaching of Jazz Concepts in the Jazz Voice LessonBuchholz, Timothy C. 03 May 2010 (has links)
While the concept of teaching jazz style to vocal students is not a new one, previous materials written on the subject have not addressed two important aspects of this process. One is the concept of selecting jazz vocal solo repertoire that is both musically and vocally purposeful and appropriate for the student. The other is how to teach stylistic concepts that will apply to both current repertoire as well as songs the student will learn in the future. This doctoral essay provides both a categorized list of solo jazz vocal repertoire as well as strategies for introducing stylistic elements of jazz into the private-lesson setting. Through a systematic analysis of jazz vocal standards, a list of repertoire selections was categorized by rhythmic style, melodic range, melodic harmony, melodic rhythm, and harmonic content. In addition, the stylistic need to add syncopations to swing songs with non-syncopated melodies was addressed. Suggestions are included on how to implement this categorized list in the music selection process for students. Furthermore, this essay provides jazz voice teachers with strategies to efficiently incorporate important aspects of jazz styles such as rhythmic feel, song form, improvisation, and harmony into the lesson setting. By showing connections between these concepts and the literature that is being taught, students can become more competent and confident within the vocal and stylistic elements of the jazz idiom.
