Literature on the appropriation of hip hop culture outside of the United States maintains that hip hop engenders local interpretations no longer reliant on African-American origins, and this research project is an attempt to determine the extent to which this is the case in a specific local context. My thesis is an effort to move beyond the rhetoric of much of what constitutes the debates surrounding globalisation, by employing a research strategy combining theoretical analysis and direct engagement with the Berlin hip hop scene. My project not only aims to uncover the meanings young people in Berlin give to their hip hop practices, but intends to do so within a framework that does not ignore the discursive spaces in which these young people are operating. This is particularly relevant because of the complex ways in which race and ethnicity are related to German national identity. Furthermore, this thesis is concerned with the ways in which the spaces and places collectively known as Berlin shape the cultural practices found there. While hip hop belongs to global culture, it is also the case that the city of Berlin plays a significant role in determining how hip hop is understood and reproduced by young people there.

The faculty of judgment, whether aesthetic, political, or moral, held a central position in the life of eighteenth-century England. This dissertation reveals the political ideologies underlying the aesthetic judgments (made by composers, audiences, and characters) in a repertoire of masque settings of William Congreve's libretto, The Judgment of Paris from 1701 to 1742. / Chapter One provides an introduction to English political history in the early to mid-eighteenth century, in particular the Parliamentary strife which existed between the Whig and Tory parties, and documents the influence of politics on cultural production and aesthetic ideology. Chapter Two outlines the events surrounding the "The Prize Musick" competition including the circumstances of its inception, sponsors, competitors, and outcome. This chapter also discusses Congreve's ties to the Whig party and the structure and content of his libretto. Chapter Three analyses and compares the settings of the original extant settings from the competition by Daniel Purcell, John Weldon, and John Eccles with emphasis on their relative strengths of orchestration, harmonic structure, and motivic content. In Chapter Four new settings of Congreve's libretto, dating from the 1740s, by Giuseppe Sammartini and Thomas Arne are analysed and compared, both to each other and to the earlier "Prize" settings. This chapter also discusses the rise of other dramatic works based on similar "judgment" or "choice" plots such as Handel's The Choice of Hercules. Finally, Chapter Five outlines the historical function of music and aesthetic judgment in maintaining an orderly society and the role of The Judgment of Paris settings in fulfilling this function.

Amakwaya refers to the tradition and performance practice of choirs in South Africa that emerged from the mission-schools in the nineteenth century and is manifest today in the annual competitions held by various Teachers' Associations or company-sponsored events like the National Choir Festival. This choral practice, combining Western music styles with African tradition, bears the marks - both social and aesthetic - of colonial and missionary influences, and is closely linked to the emerging black middle class, their process of negotiating identity, and their later quest for a national culture. Many aspects of contemporary amakwaya performance practice, it is argued, including the recent interest of many members of the amakwaya community in opera, can be understood through an analysis of the social dimensions of these choirs. Particular attention is given to the role played by competitions and the sectionalised repertoire. The criticisms made in this regard flow from an understanding of the social meaning and aesthetic thrust of the tradition, from the author's practical involvement with the choirs, and from extensive discussions with choristers and conductors. The first part of the thesis is concerned with identifying the role played by European values such as those of education and progress, in the self-understanding of the emerging missioneducated black South African elite in the second half of the nineteenth century. An initial tendency towards uncritical imitation and attempts at assimilation ended in the experience of rejection by the settler community and isolation. It was followed, in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, by a complex negotiation between traditional and modern values. With political, social and economic mobility restricted in white South Africa, the black middle class turned towards artistic expression such as choral singing in order to define and express a distinctively African concept of civilisation. In this process, amakwaya performance developed into a powerful means whereby class identity and consciousness could be constructed and communicated. The second part looks into the framework of amakwaya, and at the mission schools and colleges they attended and the competitions they organise. As a result of the practice of hymn singing, participation in a choir soon became an important part of the leisure time activities of the early mission converts. This formative phase of amakwaya is illustrated in a case study of one of the most influential schools in Natal, Adams College, near Amanzimtoti, where the first black South African School of Music was established. In order to promote the values important to the missionaries as well as their converts - discipline, progress, and success - competitions were encouraged at the mission stations. These became models for the competitions which today are the main feature of amakwaya practice. The voices of various members of the community are used to present a critical evaluation of the positive and negative aspects of present-day competitions. The last part of the thesis concentrates on amakwaya repertoire, particularly as it is represented at important choral competitions such as the National Choir Festival. This part also attempts to facilitate an understanding of the genesis, structure and aesthetic of the sectionalised repertoire, which consists of neo-traditional songs, Western compositions, and choral works composed by mission-educated musicians. Strict adherence to the sectionalised repertoire is a unique feature of amakwaya performance practice to the present day. / Thesis (Ph.D.-Music)-University of Natal, 2002.

The analysis of Arne's six keyboard concertos uses the 1981 Oxford University Press edition of the musical scores. This edition relies totally a set of separate printed on parts that was published by Harrison & Company of London in 1793, and is the earliest known extant material for the concertos; the autograph MSS scores of Arne's concertos are not extant. The analysis first deals with Arne's general structural process, then examines the formal structure of the works in more detail, with particular attention given to the utilization of ritornello format and the influence from the Torelli-Vivaldi tradition. A discussion of the concertos' residual Baroque characteristics as well as several galant traits is included. Considerable attention is given to Arne's excellence in melodic writing, as well as to his fondness for the interval of an octave and to a particular rhythmic kernel. Also included is an analysis of a discarded movement from Concerto No. 1.The analysis of Arne's four symphonies uses the 1973 Oxford University Press edition of the musical scores. This edition relies totally on the set of printed parts from the 1767 John Johnston [London] edition, and is the earliest known extant material for the symphonies; the autograph MSS scores of Arne's symphonies are likewise lost or destroyed. As with the concertos, the analysis of the symphonies first looks at Arne's general structural procedures, then treats individual musical forms, with significant attention given to sonata form. An examination of Arne's remnant Baroque characteristics is included. As with the concertos, a substantial portion of the analysis is given to Arne's melodic writing.A short biography of Arne is included. This chapter discusses other instrumental works of Arne, as well as his more important vocal works. / School of Music

The present study is an attempt to enlarge upon the proposition that the age of Frescobaldi was, like all others, an age of transition, in his case the transition from Renaissance to Baroque. His position within this change is central, both in time and importance. In our first two chapters, the various categories of keyboard works which he enriched will be considered, with their prehistories, his contributions, and analyses of individual pieces. In chapter I the works mainly of instrumental origin will be dealt with, and in chapter ll those of more vocal derivation. In the final chapter, the information thus gleaned will be used to demonstrate his exact position within the transition, particularly with regard to its two most important aspects, the harmonic field and the interaction of vocal and instrumental elements.

Em meio a essas tensões, tendo São Paulo como foco principal das atenções do, então, Governo, encontrava-se a figura do compositor Villa-Lobos em busca de um espaço para seus projetos musicais. O primeiro Projeto que lhe foi concedido, por intermédio do interventor do Estado de São Paulo, João Alberto Lins de Barros, intitulado Excursão Artística Villa-Lobos, marcou no ano de 1931, uma nova etapa na vida de Villa-Lobos, voltado, também, para a educação musical. A Excursão proporcionou uma vivência artística única para diversas cidades interioranas, por meio de uma série de concertos de cunho didático, nos quais Villa-Lobos se apresentava com outros notáveis artistas e fazia, continuamente, sua preleção musical. Será analisado o aspecto político, cultural e administrativo deste importante evento, por meio de uma abordagem histórica com base em três fontes: a primeira, o livro de Antônio Chechim Filho, na qual foram coletadas diversas informações básicas dos respectivos eventos; a segunda fonte, o acervo do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, que foi fundamental para comparar com os fatos relatados por Chechim; a terceira fonte foi estabelecida a partir dos dados obtidos em alguns trabalhos biográficos sobre Villa-Lobos, nos quais se destacam os respectivos trabalhos de Flávia Camargo Toni, Manuel Negwer e Paulo Renato Guérios / The decade of 1930 was marred by many clashes from New State policy, established by Getúlio Vargas. Amid these tensions, and São Paulo as its main focus of attention of the then current Government, was the figure of the composer Villa-Lobos in search for a space for your music projects. The first project that has been granted, by means of the intervenor in the State of São Paulo, João Alberto Lins de Barros, entitled Excursão Artística Villa-Lobos, scored in the year 1931, a new stage in the life of Villa-Lobos, directed, too, for music education. The tour provided a unique artistic experience to several cities outside the capital cities, through a series of concerts of didactic nature, in which, Villa-Lobos, performed with other notable artists and, continually, making their musical lectures. Will be analyzed the political, cultural and administrative aspect of this important event, by means of a historical approach based on three sources: the first, the book of Antonio Chechim Filho, in which was collected several basic information of their events; the second source, the collection of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, was key to compare with the facts reported by Chechim; the third source was established, from data obtained in some biographical work about Villa-Lobos, in which the respective works of Flávia Camargo Toni, Manuel Negwer and Paulo Renato Guérios

Foram escolhidas cinco compositoras: Maria Helena Rosas Fernandes (1933), Joey de Oliveira (1936), Marisa Rezende (1944), Vânia Dantas Leite (1945) e Denise Garcia (1955). A partir da metodologia da história oral, baseada principalmente em coleta de dados, entrevistas e análise de documentos primários, juntamente com a metodologia de pesquisa de história de conteúdo, caracterizada pela pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentalmente, foram elaboradas as trajetórias de cada compositora, enfocando a composição musical em suas vidas. Trabalhamos com alguns conceitos específicos para realização das análises e da reconstrução do campo, tais como: campo e dominação masculina desenvolvidos por Pierre Bourdieu e de geração por Karl Mannhein. Procuramos compreender a maneira como essas mulheres se tomam compositoras dado uma realidade caracterizada pela quase ausência feminina nesse campo, apesar das inúmeras conquistas da mulher durante o século XX, no Brasil e no mundo / Abstract: This research aims to analyze woman inclusion in the Brazilian classical music composition field in the second half of the twentieth century, through the case investigation. Five composers were chosen: Maria Helena Rosas Fernandes (1933), Joey de Oliveira (1936), Marisa Rezende (1944), Vânia Dantas Leite (1945) and Denise Garcia (1955). From the oral history methodology, based primary in data collection, interviews and analysis of primary documentation, together with the content history research methodology, based in bibliographic research, the biographies of each composers were elaborated, focusing the musical composition in their lives. We worked with some specific concepts for the realization of the analysis and the field re-construction, such as Field and Male Domination developed by Pierre Bourdieu and Generation by Karl Mannhein. We try to understand the way this women became composers inside a reality characterized by an almost female absence in this field, spite the incalculable woman conquests through the twentieth century, in Brazil and the World / Mestrado / Musica / Mestre em Música
