2	Potentialité de mutation du tango rioplatense : bornes du tango porteño et réseaux d’interconnexion avec le tango nomade / Potentiality of transformation of the tango rIoplatense : Borders of the tango porteño and nets of interconnection with the tango nomade Marsili, Andrea 13 January 2012 (has links) Cette thèse prétend décoder le langage musical du tango rioplatense et étudier scientifiquement sa potentialité de mutation. Ainsi, l’œuvre de tango « porteño » sera analysée parallèlement à la proposition de tango « nómade » d’Astor Piazzolla. Ce travail analytique est focalisé sur les paramètres, les éléments compositionnels, les aspects idiomatiques de la performance et les outils d’arrangement caractéristiques, en comparaison permanente avec l’usage chez Piazzolla. L'objectif est de dissocier les éléments qui conforment et qui créent les structures si particulières du tango traditionnel et d’analyser profondément leurs constitutions, ainsi que leurs relations avec d’autres composants, pour ensuite observer leurs applications chez Piazzolla. La première partie de cette étude analyse les modalités de performance, les niveaux de précision dans la représentation graphique et l’œuvre de tango porteño et de Piazzolla. Les quatre parties suivantes se penchent sur les paramètres rythmiques, mélodiques, harmoniques, formels et orchestraux. Chaque partie est divisée en deux sections, la première analyse systématiquement le fonctionnement des paramètres dans le tango porteño, et la deuxième étudie les mêmes paramètres chez Piazzolla. / This thesis claims to decode the musical language of the tango rioplatense and to study scientifically its potentiality of transformation. Therefore, the tango "porteño" will be analyzed at the same time as the "nomadic" proposition of Astor Piazzolla. This analytical work is focused on the tango musical parameters, the compositional elements, the idiomatic aspects of the performance and the typical tools of arrangement, in permanent comparison with Piazzolla’s application.The first part of this study analyzes the modalities of performance, the levels of precision in the graphic representation of the tango porteño and Piazzolla’s. The following four sections bend over the rhythmic, melodic, harmonics, formal and orchestral parameters. Every part is divided into two sections, the first analysis systematically the functioning of the parameters in the tango porteño, and the second studies the same parameters on Piazzolla’s music.

3	L’expansion du tango d’Astor Piazzolla. Conjugaison du populaire et du savant à travers l’articulation avec le jazz, la musique baroque et la musique savante moderne / The expansion of Astor Piazzolla’s tango. Association of popular and art music through the blending with jazz, baroque and modern music Fontes Saboga Cardoso, Thomas 05 July 2017 (has links) La présente thèse se propose de comprendre la production musicale d’Astor Piazzolla, notamment la façon particulière dont le compositeur réalise le dialogue entre musique populaire urbaine et musique savante. Pour ce faire, nous avons repéré quatre courants musicaux principaux dont il a été possible de tracer les origines dans son œuvre : le tango, base structurelle de sa musique, le jazz, la musique baroque et la musique savante moderne. Après avoir montré leur présence dans la première partie, nous procédons à l’analyse de l’articulation particulière de ces éléments dans la deuxième. Certains traits du tango semblent privilégiés dans ce métissage, en constituant des éléments de base repérables principalement par des gestes mélodiques, des modèles d’accompagnement et des timbres caractéristiques très fréquemment employés, qui assurent aussi bien la cohésion et l’unité musicale que l’identité du genre urbain argentin. Cette fusion musicale utilise à de nombreuses reprises des caractéristiques communes des musiques métissées comme stratégie de réussite de l’alliage musical ; on constate dans certains passages un subtil et soigneux dosage des ingrédients musicaux utilisés. Le discours du compositeur, analysé au dernier chapitre, nous a permis en outre de dégager trois aspects de ce rapport entre populaire et savant : la recherche d’une identité, en produisant une musique qui représente la ville de Buenos Aires et l’Argentine ; un rapport aux avant-gardes modernistes, en cherchant à exprimer l’ère de son temps et à symboliser la nouveauté à travers une musique moderne ; la recherche d’une légitimité, apparue notamment sous l’expression de l’« élévation » du tango. / The aim of the present thesis is to understand the musical production of Piazzolla, especially the particular dialogue between popular and art music in his work. To do so, we located four main musical streams which origins were possible to trace: the tango, structural basis of his music, the jazz, the baroque music and the modern art music. Having shown their presence in the first part, we proceed to the analysis of the particular articulation of these elements in the second one. Certain features of the tango seem favored in this junction, constituting the basic elements mainly through the presence of melodic gestures, accompaniment models and characteristic timbres very frequently used, which assure the cohesion and musical unity as well as the identity of the Argentine urban genre. On numerous occasions, his fusion employs common characteristics of the several music crossed as a strategy for reaching the musical jointure; we also noticed in certain passages a subtle and careful dosage of the musical ingredients used. The speech of the composer analyzed in the last chapter still allowed us to identify three aspects of this relationship between popular and art music: the search for an identity, by producing a music which represents the city of Buenos Aires and Argentina; a relationship with the modernist avant-gardes, in an attempt to express the present time and to symbolize the novelty through a modern music; and the quest for legitimacy, appeared notably under the expression of the "rise" of the tango.

4	Culturally Identifying the Performance Practices of Astor Piazzolla's Second Quinteto Link, Kacey Quin 01 January 2009 (has links) Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) captivated Argentine and international audiences with his innovative works in a nuevo tango style and his bandoneón performances. Piazzolla?s success culminated during the 1980s with his second Quinteto, which performed remarkable concerts in venues such as the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and the Central Park Bandshell in New York, in addition to the performances at the Montreal and Montreux Jazz Festivals. His music also grew popular with a plethora of internationally acclaimed classical and jazz artists as well as with Argentine musicians themselves. However, Piazzolla?s music poses a challenge today, because nuevo tango represents a synthesis of the composer?s musical and cultural backgrounds, conjoining the tango legacy of Buenos Aires, the jazz idioms that he absorbed in New York, and the international traditions of classical music. Many musicians, specifically those from the United States, perform and study nuevo tango without having sufficient prerequisite knowledge of these practices, causing the genre to lose its cultural substance. By considering the fusion of tango, jazz, and classical genres and incorporating a cross-cultural analysis, this thesis aims to illuminate the basis of Piazzolla?s performance practices. It seeks to identify the yeites (tango instrumental techniques) that define nuevo tango and to suggest ways that the modern performer can incorporate these stylistic features to produce culturally informed interpretations of Piazzolla?s works. This study focuses on the practices of Piazzolla?s second Quinteto, at the pinnacle of his career, and emphasizes a gestural analysis of the yeites to produce a well-grounded concept of nuevo tango sound. This study concludes that, even though Piazzolla?s compositions represented a fusion of genres, the performance practices (and specifically the gestures) of the second Quinteto are primarily associated with the tango traditions of previous eras. Such gestures embody Piazzolla?s music and thus allow contemporary performers to recreate the evocative and persuasive characteristics of nuevo tango practices today.
5	Le manoir de Kerazan et ses propriétaires : Architecture, décor inérieur et collections / Kerazan's manor and its owner : architecture, interior design and collections. Gayet, Gwenn 29 January 2014 (has links) Le domaine de Kerazan, ensemble encore méconnu, fut légué à l’Institut de France par Joseph-Georges Astor en 1929. Situé en plein cœur du Pays Bigouden, sur la route de Pont-l'Abbé à Loctudy, le manoir de Kerazan est aujourd'hui l’un des fleurons de l’art de vivre au XIXe siècle, en sud Finistère. S’étalant du XVIe siècle à 1934, toute une collection d’arts décoratifs imprègne le manoir : toiles de maîtres régionaux, meubles bretons ou encore faïence de Quimper font vivre ce bâtiment comme ils font vivre le passé. Cet ensemble éclectique fut composé par une famille de trois collectionneurs : Joseph Astor II, Maire de Quimper de 1870 à 1886, conseiller général (de 1877 à 1895) et premier Sénateur républicain du Finistère, élu en 1890, et qui le restera jusqu’à son décès, en 1901. Son fils, Joseph-Georges Astor, docteur en droit, compléta la collection familiale tout au long de sa vie, avant de léguer - sous certaines conditions - l’ensemble de la collection à l’Institut de France. Dernier membre de cette famille de collectionneurs, beau-frère de Joseph Astor II et oncle de Joseph-Georges Astor, Georges Arnoult fut élu Député de la seconde circonscription de Quimper de 1876 à 1885. Le manoir et son domaine, connurent de très amples modifications, depuis la fin du XVe siècle à nos jours, et c’est ce que nous allons aborder ici, par le prisme de différentes disciplines, à savoir : histoire politique, histoire sociale et histoire des arts.Ce fut donc sous l’action de plusieurs familles et collectionneurs que le manoir fut modifié : tant dans son architecture, que dans ses décors intérieurs. Enfin, nous analyserons, l’histoire du goût au travers de l’exemple de la constitution de la collection de Kerazan. Peintures, mobiliers et objets quotidiens demeurés en l’état méritent-ils l’appellation de « collection bretonne » ? Quels étaient les objectifs de cette collection, quelles impulsions peuvent en être dégagées, et quels processus avons-nous pu déceler ? Ces derniers peuvent-ils être comparés à d’autres collections ? / The domain of Kerazan, still an underestimated set, was bequeathed to the Institute of France by Joseph-Georges Astor in 1929. Placed right in the heart of the Bigouden County, between Pont-l'Abbé and Loctudy, the manor house of Kerazan is today one of the jewels of the lifestyle in the XIXth century, in South Finistère. Spreading out from the XVIth century to 1934, a whole collection of decorative arts fills the manor house: paintings of regional masters, Breton furniture or still earthenware of Quimper make this building live as they make the past live. This eclectic set was made by a family of three collectors: Joseph Astor II, Mayor of Quimper from 1870 to 1886, member of the “General Council” (from 1877 to 1895) and first republican Senator of Finistère, elected in 1890 until he died in 1901. His son, Joseph-Georges Astor, Doctor of Law, continued the family collection throughout his life, before bequeathing - under certain conditions - the whole collection to the Institute of France.Last member of this family of collectors, brother-in-law of Joseph Astor II and uncle of Joseph-Georges Astor, Georges Arnoult was elected Member of Parliament of the second district of Quimper from 1876 to 1885.The manor house and its domain, have known very important modifications, since the end of the XVth century up to nowadays, and that is what we are going to study here, thanks to various subjects, that is to say : political history, social history and art history.Thus, the manor house was changed thanks to several families’ and several collectors’ actions in its architecture and also in its internal decoration. Finally, we will analyze, the history of taste through the example of the constitution of the collection of Kerazan. Do paintings, furniture and daily objects deserve the name of " Breton collection "?What were the goals of this collection, which trends can be observed, and which processes could we identify ? Can the latter be compared with other collections ?

6	Too foul and dishonoring to be overlooked : newspaper responses to controversial English stars in the Northeastern United States, 1820-1870 Smith, Tamara Leanne 30 September 2010 (has links) In the nineteenth century, theatre and newspapers were the dominant expressions of popular culture in the northeastern United States, and together formed a crucial discursive node in the ongoing negotiation of American national identity. Focusing on the five decades between 1820 and 1870, during which touring stars from Great Britain enjoyed their most lucrative years of popularity on United States stages, this dissertation examines three instances in which English performers entered into this nationalizing forum and became flashpoints for journalists seeking to define the nature and bounds of American citizenship and culture. In 1821, Edmund Kean’s refusal to perform in Boston caused a scandal that revealed a widespread fixation among social elites with delineating the ethnic and economic limits of citizenship in a republican nation. In 1849, an ongoing rivalry between the English tragedian William Charles Macready and his American competitor Edwin Forrest culminated in the deadly Astor Place riot. By configuring the actors as champions in a struggle between bourgeois authority and working-class populism, the New York press inserted these local events into international patterns of economic conflict and revolutionary violence. Nearly twenty years later, the arrival of the Lydia Thompson Burlesque Troupe in 1868 drew rhetoric that reflected the popular press’ growing preoccupation with gender, particularly the question of woman suffrage and the preservation of the United States’ international reputation as a powerfully masculine nation in the wake of the Civil War. Three distinct cultural currents pervade each of these case studies: the new nation’s anxieties about its former colonizer’s cultural influence, competing political and cultural ideologies within the United States, and the changing perspectives and agendas of the ascendant popular press. Exploring the points where these forces intersect, this dissertation aims to contribute to an understanding of how popular culture helped shape an emerging sense of American national identity. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that in the mid-nineteenth century northeastern United States, popular theatre, newspapers, and audiences all contributed to a single media formation in which controversial English performers became a rhetorical antipode against which “American” identity could be defined. / text Actors Acting Alabama claims Anglophobia Astor Place Riot Audience Audiences Bowery Boys Burlesque Citizenship Class Controversy Democratic Party Kean, Edmund Forrest, Edwin England Femininity Feminism Gender Great Britain Rynders, Isaiah Jewish American identity Jews United States Identity Journalism Thompson, Lydia Masculinity Media Media formations Melodrama Walsh, Mike Noah, Mordecai National Advocate National identity Nationalism New York New York Herald New York Tribune Newspapers Nineteenth century Northeastern United States Logan, Olive Performance Popular culture Popular press Mass print media Republican Party Revolution, 1848-1849 Rhetoric Scandal Shakespeare Spirit of the Times Suffrage Nativism Theatre Touring stars Whig Party Macready, William Charles Richard III (play) Merchant of Venice Shylock
