In the art of song composition, American composer Samuel Barber was the perfect storm. Barber spent years studying under superb instruction and became adept as a pianist, singer, composer, and in literature and languages. The songs that Barber composed during those years of instruction, many of which have been posthumously published, are waypoints on his journey to compositional maturity. These early songs display his natural inclinations, his self-determination, his growth through trial and error, and the slow flowering of a musical vision, meticulously cultivated by the educational opportunities provided to him by his family and his many devoted mentors. Using existing well-known and recently uncovered biographical data, as well as both published and unpublished song juvenilia and mature songs, this dissertation examines the importance of Barber's earliest musical and academic training in relationship to his development as a song composer.

Samuel Barber's Capricorn Concerto for flute, oboe and trumpet with strings is an important though seldom performed work. The concerto is teeming with performance choices that are indicative of both historical and contemporary influences. At present, there are limited resources available to performers regarding Capricorn. The first section of this study presents an historical and contextual examination of Capricorn both in terms of Barber's own compositional output and that of his influences and contemporaries. The second section includes a performance analysis of the work, while the third section includes an analysis of existing recordings. Implications for the performer are outlined in last section. The guide provides performers with pertinent background, analytical and performance information in order to facilitate informed, high-level performance.

Foi estudado o comportamento bioquímico energético de populações domiciliadas de Panstrongylus megistus de quatro regiões geográficas brasileiras (Região Tropical Atlântica, Região Floresta de Inclusão, Região do Agreste e Região da Caatinga), através dos seguintes parâmetros do metabolismo energético: Proteinas, Glicose, Deidrogenase láctica, Creatino-quinase e respectivas isoenzimas. Os espécimens foram mantidos em jejum de O a 90 dias. Foram observadas diferenças de metabolismo energético entre populações de duas regiões: Tropical Atlântica (Grupo I) Floresta de Inclusão (Grupo II) / The population\'s behaviour of Panstrongylus megistus, which is domiciliated in four different geographycal brazilian regions (\"Tropical Altântica\" system and \"Inclusão\" Forest, and \"Agreste\" and \"Caatinga\" regions, was studied by different bioenergetic metabolism parameters: Proteins, Glucose, Lactate dehydrogenase, Creatine Kinase and their respective isoenzymes. These specimens were kept from 0 to 90 days fasting. During this time, it was observed many differences in the energetic metabolism of the vectors of Chagas\' disease in the \"Tropical Atlântica\" system (Grupo I) \"Inclusão\" Forest (Grupo 11)

Samuel Barber is one of the most important American composers in the twentieth century. He wrote 103 solo songs. Among these works, Knoxville: Summer of 1915, op. 24 is unique because its scale is larger than other vocal works and because it is the only piece Barber wrote for soprano and orchestra. Since the premier in 1948, this masterwork is considered the most ¡§American¡¨ piece of Barber¡¦s works, for that he successfully sketches the atmosphere described in the lyrics, that is, American country life during the 1910s. The main issue of this short thesis is to reveal reasons that make the work well-known for its ¡§most American¡¨ nature. The musical education of the composer, the short biography of the poet, and the compositional background of Knoxville: Summer of 1915, op. 24 are mentioned. Through the analyses of lyrics, tempo and melody, the discussion focuses on how Barber translates the picture of American country life during the 1910s into musical notes.

I denna textmässigt beskrivande del av mitt arbete med Knoxville: Summer of 1915 (opus 24), ett verk för sopran och orkester med musik av Samuel Barber och text av James Agee, har jag främst fokuserat på de delar i instuderingen av verket som haft mest betydelse för mig personligen, både som sångerska och som konstnär. Det som har haft avgörande betydelse för mig är verkets unika uppbyggnad, men även mina personliga känslor och egna livserfarenheter, som hjälpt till att forma min uppfattning om verket som helhet. De delar som belyses i uppsatsen är framförallt textens innebörd, verkets kulturella sammanhang och olika sätt som musik och sång kan samverka för att understryka och lyfta fram känslotillstånd och underliggande betydelser i ord. / <p>Bilaga: 1 CD</p>
