The dissertation researches the contemporary jazz vocalist Kurt Elling. His background, performing career and successes are explored before his artistry as a performer and pedagogue are examined in detail. A personal Skype lesson and a personal interview form part of the research material. Elling’s improvisatory art and his relationship with and opinions on scatting, and especially jazz vocalese are portrayed. To this end the author’s transcription of Elling’s vocalese based on Downtown (by Russel Ferrante) is included. Elling’s influence, creativity, spirituality and infusion of poetry into jazz are also investigated in order to show how he inspires audiences and students alike. The history of, and general descriptions of various jazz vocal styles are traced, whereafter the situation regarding the jazz vocal scene in South Africa is outlined. Local jazz vocal teaching in particular, and associated problems are discussed, and recommendations made. The author utilises her background as an accomplished performer and teacher to infuse these discussions with personal insights. Elling’s opinions on how cultural and ethnic differences can inspire South African jazz vocalists are also delineated. / Dissertation (MMus)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / lmchunu2014 / Music / unrestricted

Dentro da família Procyonidae é uma das espécies com o repertório vocal mais extenso. N. narica e N. nelsoni são outras duas espécies do gênero Nasua. Nasua narica é nativo das Américas Central e do Norte e é conhecido por apresentar um focinho branco característico, Nasua nelsoni, espécie descrita recentemente, reside em ilhas mexicanas. Em 1960 algumas descrições qualitativas do repertório acústico desses animais tiveram início, trazendo informações importantes até a década de 80. Em 1998 foi descrito o repertório para N. narica, mas apenas em 2013 um primeiro estudo foi realizado com quatis N. nasua no Parque Ecológico do Tietê – SP, Brasil, a fim de descrever e contextualizar o repertório acústico da espécie de maneira mais detalhada. Objetivamos no presente estudo identificar as emissões vocais dos quatis e associar a contextos comportamentais exibidos em habitat natural. Além disso os parâmetros das emissões acústicas foram analisados. Um bando foi acompanhando durante suas atividades diárias de abril a setembro de 2014, no Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos, sede Teresópolis, estado do Rio de Janeiro. Em Araras, distrito de Petrópolis-RJ, outro bando foi observado oportunisticamente durante um dia. O comportamento dos quatis foi registrado em arquivos de vídeo totalizando 100 minutos de gravação. Nesta pesquisa dezoito tipos de emissões vocais são descritos, juntamente com oito categorias comportamentais distintas (agonístico, brincadeira, busca, forrageio, locomoção, intimidação, investigação e separação) as quais estão associadas. Das dezoito emissões vocais uma não se restringe a uma única categoria comportamental (o assobio de contato), sendo cada categoria composta por no mínimo um tipo de chamado. Os chamados encontrados demonstram a riqueza do repertório acústico do quati, espécie abundante nos ecossistemas brasileiros e importante para estudos de comportamento e bioacústica. Esta pesquisa pode contribuir para sustentar planos de manejo para a conservação da espécie e dos seus habitats naturais. / Coatis Nasua nasua are gregarious mammals, that live in dense rainforests of South America and use the vocalization as an important method of communication. Within the Procyonidae family is one of the species with the most extensive vocal repertoire. N. narica and N. nelsoni are two other species of the genus Nasua. Nasua narica is native to the Central and Northern Americas and is known to have a characteristic white muzzle, Nasua nelsoni is a species recently described, lies in Mexican islands. In 1960 some qualitative descriptions of the acoustic repertoire of these animals began, bringing important information to the 80s in 1998 was described the repertoire for N. narica, but only in 2013 a first study was conducted with N. nasua coatis in the Ecological Park Tietê - SP, Brazil, in order to describe and contextualize the acoustic repertoire of the specie in more detail. We aimed in this study is identify the vocal emissions of coatis in behavioral contexts displayed in natural habitat. The parameters of acoustic emissions were analyzed. A group was watched during your daily activities from April to September 2014, on the National Park of the Organ Mountains, Teresopolis headquarters, State of Rio de Janeiro. On Araras, district of Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, other group was observed opportunistically during a day. The behavior of coatis were recorded in video files totaling 100 minutes of recording. In this research eighteen types of vocal emissions are described, along with eight distinct behavioral categories (agonistic, play, search, foraging, locomotion, intimidation, research and separation) which are associated. One of the eighteen vocal emissions is not restricted to a single behavioral category (contact whistle) and each category being composed of at least one type of call. The so-called found demonstrate the richness of the acoustic repertoire of the coati, abundant species in Brazilian and important ecosystems for behavioral studies and bioacoustics. This research can contribute to support management plans for the conservation of the species and their natural habitats.

The aim with this research is to improve and apply vocal tools in duo performance with a pianist, and to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be an expressive vocalist. To answer this, the study has following research questions:  What tools are needed to become a more expressive vocalist?How can those vocal expressions be applied in collaboration with a pianist? How can such collaboration improve our joint expression in duo performance?  The result chapter presents the process of improving the vocal expressive tools through imitation, dividing expressive tools into mood and/ or feeling enhancing tools, and planning of vocal expressive tools. It is further developed with collaborative interpretations of three songs, Smile (Chaplin, 1936), A Case of You (Mitchell, 1971), and I Shall Be Released (Dylan, 1968), in order to apply the expressive tools and study the joint expressions. By using stimulated recall and open coding, the collaborative interpretations were studied to reflect over the progress.  The study concludes that awareness of how to apply expressive tools contributes to being able to express the intended expression without feeling it. In addition to being able to control one's vocal techniques it is useful for an expressive vocalist to contain aspects such as facial expressions, body movements, visible interaction between co-musician(s) and visible interaction between performer and perceiver. By becoming aware of what tools one uses where, and why one uses them, it develops the understanding of how the tools can be used to enhance the individual and joint expression in duo performance.  For the pianist's perspective on the collaborative outcome, read her study in Mellberg (2022).

This bachelor’s thesis investigates the transformation of a musical composition when its lyrics are translated from the written original language into another. It examines how creating a new composition based on the translated lyrics, aspiring to maintain the language’s natural melodic flow, impacts the character of the composition.  Utilizing diverse composition methods and techniques revolving around lyrics, I have composed a series of six compositions. This collection consists of an equal distribution of lyrics in the Swedish and the English languages, allowing for a comparative analysis of how the choice of language influences the harmonic, melodic, and emotional dimensions of each piece, despite the lyrics having the same content. The culmination of this venture was presented at my Bachelor’s recital held at the University of North Texas. / <p>When Sunny Gets Blue (musik: Marvin Fisher text: Jack Segal)</p><p>När sol går i moln (Märta Dahlsytöm)</p><p>You’re A Ten (Märta Dahlström)</p><p>Du är en tia (Märta Dahlström)</p><p>Skynda långsamt (Märta Dahlström)</p><p>Hurry Slowly (Märta Dahlström)</p><p>Ellen (Märta Dahlström)</p><p>Medverkande musiker: Märta Dahlström, sång och komposition, Isaiah Nygard, Piano Paul Briggs, Bas, Michael Rodenkirch, trummor.</p><p></p><p>Märta Dahlström Senior Recital / Examenskonsert:</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWgnq49MyIs</p>
