"While the present study will focus specifically on the evolution of tonality in Ginastera's compositional style, I begin by surveying the small body of general scholarship pertinent to Ginastera, starting with his own published comments. This critical survey serves two purposes: it provides a general overview of the scholarship to date regarding Ginastera; and it demonstrates the shortcomings of that scholarship in relation to the study of tonality's evolution in Ginastera's music--hence the rationale for the present study."--Leaves 1-2.

A pitch spelling algorithm predicts the pitch names (e.g., C♯4, B♭5 etc.) of the notes in a passage of tonal music, when given the onset-time, MIDI note number and possibly the duration and voice of each note. A new algorithm, called ps13, was compared with the algorithms of Longuet-Higgins, Cambouropoulos, Temperley and Chew and Chen by running various versions of these algorithms on a ‘clean’, score-derived test corpus, C, containing 195972 notes, equally divided between eight classical and baroque composers. The standard deviation of the accuracies achieved by each algorithm over the eight composers was used to measure style dependence (SD). The best versions of the algorithms were tested for robustness to temporal deviations by running them on a ‘noisy’ version of the test corpus, denoted by C'. A version of ps13 called PS13s1 was the most accurate of the algorithms tested, achieving note accuracies of 99.44% (SD = 0.45) on C and 99.41% (SD = 0.50) on C'. A real-time version of PS13s1 also out-performed the other real-time algorithms tested, achieving note accuracies of 99.19% (SD = 0.51) on C and 99.16% (SD = 0.53) on C'. PS13s1 was also as fast and easy to implement as any of the other algorithms. New, optimised versions of Chew and Chen’s algorithm were the least dependent on style over C. The most accurate of these achieved note accuracies of 99.15% (SD = 0.42) on C and 99.12% (SD = 0.47) on C'. It was proved that replacing the spiral array in Chew and Chen’s algorithm with the line of fifths never changes its output. A new, optimised version of Cambouropoulos’s algorithm made 8% fewer errors over C than the most accurate of the versions described by Cambouropoulos himself. This algorithm achieved note accuracies of 99.15% (SD = 0.47) on C and 99.07% (SD = 0.53) on C'. A new implementation of the most accurate of the versions described by Cambouropoulos achieved note accuracies of 99.07% (SD = 0.46) on C and 99.13% (SD = 0.39) on C', making it the least dependent on style over C'. However, Cambouropoulos’s algorithms were among the slowest of those tested. When Temperley and Sleator’s harmony and meter programs were used for pitch spelling, they were more affected by temporal deviations and tempo changes than any of the other algorithms tested. When enharmonic changes were ignored and the music was at a natural tempo, these programs achieved note accuracies of 99.27% (SD = 1.30) on C and 97.43% (SD = 1.69) on C'. A new implementation, called TPROne, of just the first preference rule in Temperley’s theory achieved note accuracies of 99.06% (SD = 0.63) on C and 99.16% (SD = 0.52) on C'. TPROne’s performance was independent of tempo and less dependent on style than that of the harmony and meter programs. Of the several versions of Longuet-Higgins’s algorithm tested, the best was the original one, implemented in his music.p program. This algorithm achieved note accuracies of 98.21% (SD = 1.79) on C and 98.25% (SD = 1.71) on C', but only when the data was processed a voice at a time. None of the attempts to take voice-leading into account in the algorithms considered in this study resulted in an increase in note accuracy and the most accurate algorithm, PS13s1, ignores voice-leading altogether. The line of fifths is used in most of the algorithms tested, including PS13s1. However, the superior accuracy achieved by PS13s1 suggests that pitch spelling accuracy can be optimised by modelling the local key as a pitch class frequency distribution instead of a point on the line of fifths, and by keeping pitch names close to the local tonic(s) on the line of fifths rather than close on the line of fifths to the pitch names of neighbouring notes.

A partir dos conceitos de imagem-movimento e imagem-tempo, concebidos por Deleuze através das teorias de representação da matéria de Bergson, o estudo propõe defender a idéia de que a narrativa encampada pela imagem pode ser lida e compreendida também como uma partitura musical sinfônica, aproveitando, para tanto, os estudos de André Parente sobre a narratividade fílmica / Abstract: The goal of present study is to establish a bridge between cinema and music concerning in particular the generating mechanisms of articulated senses in both art forms. From the concepts of image-moviment and image-time, determined by Deleuze through Bergson's representation of matter theories, this work sets to defend the idea that the narration expropriated by image can be read and equally understood as a symphonic music score, taking advantage for such analysis of Andre Parente's studies about the filming narrative / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

Sob um panorama cronológico, delineamos através de partituras o desenvolvimento de técnicas e procedimentos formais de orquestração, paralelamente à evolução de grupos instrumentais na história da música ocidental. A expansão dos limites da música sinfônica e as inovações orquestrais desenvolvidas pelos grandes compositores, tornaram-se a referência para dirigirmos as atenções aos primeiros compositores de música original para o cinema clássico, e assim nos deparamos com os primeiros filmes que retratam o sobrenatural e os mistérios desconhecidos da humanidade, especialmente por Bernard Herrmann. As artimanhas necessárias para criar uma nova sonoridade orquestral que representasse monstros e alienígenas na música de cinema ¿ além das aflições humanas, é claro ¿ se tornam, em última instância, a nossa derradeira missão: o legado de Jerry Goldsmith e os efeitos da sonoridade orquestral no cinema / Abstract: This study aimed to show defined custom orchestration effects found in Hollywood film industry soundtracks, via resources of instrumentation and orchestral tone established by Jerry Goldsmith. Under a chronological prospect, we outlined the development of techniques and formal method of orchestration through scores, at the same time with the evolution of instrumental sets in European music history. The spreading of symphonic music¿s boundaries and the technical innovation developed by the great composers became reference to us to focus to the first original music composers in the classical Hollywoodian cinema, and here we run into the first movies that depict the supernatural and the unknown mysteries of mankind, specially by Bernard Herrmann. The required tricks to creat a new orchestral sound which intended to play monsters and aliens in the music track ¿ human suffering as well ¿ turn up, as a last resort, our last mission: Jerry Goldsmith¿s legacy and the effects of the orchestral sounds on film / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestre em Música
