L'objectif général de cette recherche est d'élaborer un processus d'apprentissage d'accompagnement au piano jazz, dans le but de concilier mes deux instruments : le piano, de formation classique, et ma voix, entraînée au style jazz principalement. Elle fait état de mon parcours dans ma quête vers la synthèse de mes connaissances et le développement de ma personnalité artistique à travers la création jazz contemporaine. Celle-ci m'a menée vers l'étude de pianistes chanteurs modèles dont j'ai écouté et transcris la musique. Je me suis interrogée à savoir en quoi la transcription de chanteurs pianistes accompagnateurs peut influencer ma relation voix et piano à travers mes créations. Je suis allée plus loin dans ma compréhension grâce à l'étude de manuels théoriques, de cours maître/élève et de tutoriels. De là, j'ai pu déceler certains types de jeux majeurs en jazz pour l'accompagnement au piano de chanteurs. J'ai réuni ces types d'accompagnement en une typologie qui m'a servie tout au long de mon parcours de création. Dans ma pratique quotidienne, j'ai utilisé la recherche-action, qui se traduisait comme un processus itératif de développement - réflexion - correction. La relation entre mes deux instruments est devenue de plus en plus fusionnelle, créant ainsi un contrepoint polyphonique. Au fil des répétitions quotidiennes, j'ai apporté des modifications à mes créations comme le contrepoint entre la voix piano évoluait en un contrepoint polyphonique circulaire. En groupe, j'ai pu parfaire l'ensemble de mes œuvres, comptant cinq compositions et cinq arrangements originaux. Finalement, des similitudes qui unissent mes œuvres sont apparues, faisant émerger les caractéristiques de ma personnalité artistique. Cette recherche est une invitation aux vocalistes à s'auto-accompagner.

L’une des composantes de la littérature orale (chants, contes, proverbes,…) de langue bretonne est la gwerz, chanson traditionnelle à caractère souvent historique et fantastique, se transmettant principalement oralement d’une génération à l’autre.L’étude de la langue utilisée dans ces chants permet de mettre en évidence des niveaux de langues différents : si la marque dialectale du chanteur est généralement bien présente, celle de l’utilisation d’un breton standard, se rapprochant du breton littéraire par ses caractéristiques, l’est tout autant.Quelques personnes en Bretagne, principalement issues de la petite noblesse rurale, se sont adonnées au collectage de sa littérature orale (de langue bretonne), à l’instar des autres pays européens, et ceci dès le début du XIXe siècle. Mme de Saint-Prix (1789 -1869) figure parmi ces précurseurs. Les deux manuscrits inédits qui constituent l’essentiel de sa collection (Manuscrit 1 : 97 folios ; Manuscrit 2 : 45 folios), sont actuellement conservés à la bibliothèque de Landévennec / One of the major forms of oral literature in the Breton language – which includes songs, tales, proverbs and sayings- is the gwerz. This form of traditional song, passing on from one generation to another, most often evidences a historical as well as a fantastic character.Studying the language used in these songs helps highlight the existence of several standards or levels of language; indeed, while the dialectal mark of the interpreter generally makes no doubt, the presence of a form of standard Breton can also be noticed.In the early XIXth century, people in Brittany - similarly to what was taking place throughout Europe - started collecting oral literature in the Breton language. Most of the time they came from the lower rural aristocracy. Mme de Saint-Prix (1789-1869) was among these precursors. The two unpublished manuscripts which make the most part of her collection (MS 1 : 97 folios ; MS 2 : 45 folios) are currently kept in the Landevennec library / Ul lodenn eus al lennegezh dre gomz (kanaouennoù, kontadennoù, lavarennoù,…) brezhonek a zo ar gwerzioù anezhi : da lâret eo kanaouennoù hengounel savet alies a-walc’h diwar fedoù istorel ha burzhudus, ha legadet a-c’henoù a-rummad da rummad.Studiañ ar yezh a gaver implijet er gwerzioù-se a laka war-wel liveoù yezh disheñvel : ma kaver roud eus brezhoneg rannyezhel ar ganerien warni, e weler splann ivez an implij a vez graet gante eus ur yezh all, tostoc’h ouzh ur « standard lennegel ».Ken abred ha deroù an XIXvet kantved, diwar skouer ar broioù europat all, e kroge un nebeut tud e Breizh, o tont peurliesañ eus an noblañs vihan diwar ar maez, da zastum ar pezh a oa da vezañ anvet « lennegezh dre gomz » pelloc’h.

A central focus of this thesis is the word-music relationship in the devotional-song-repertory of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). Surrounding this focus is an examination of aspects of her life and work that relate to the production of her seventy-seven monophonic songs. This examination commences with a review of biographical sources, collation and discussion of parchment sources of her music, and identification of her music scribes. The theme of Hildegard’s music scribes is then developed, including their influence upon the liturgical genres in which her songs are cast and the melodic behaviour of her music. It is argued that, as a result of the rendering of her melodies on the medieval gamut, the surviving sources of her songs represent corruptions of orally produced chant. / The word-music relationship in Hildegard’s songs is then introduced. Her views on the role of music and her own role as monastic preacher form the basis of an examination of the relationship between rhetoric and her songs. This examination draws on contemporary modes of rhetorical criticism, and an approach which treats her songs as musically articulated rhetorical discourse is developed. A selection of her songs is then examined through this approach, and particular attention is given to songs which preserve unusual melodic behaviours. It is argued that her songs represent iubilatio responses to both the grammatical and rhetorical syntagms of her song texts, and melodic characteristics which suggest traces of her pre-redacted melodies are identified. / As a codicil to this study, a critique of ‘new’ and ‘unusual’ monastic practices in Germany by Anselm of Havelberg (c.1100-1158) forms a point of departure for discussion of a small number of surviving songs which surrounded the production of Hildegard’s music - the five monophonic songs comprising the Epithalamia to the Speculum virginum (c.1140), and a twelfth-century canticle setting emanating from the monastic home of her music scribes. This examination points towards a tradition of ‘new’ and ‘unusual’ musical practices in Southern Germany during the twelfth century and provides one possible context for Hildegard’s devotional-song repertory.

Cette thèse porte sur le sì.cǎk-nɛ [sìcànἐ] (chants de hochet), un genre oral tagba à l’ouest du Bur ina Faso. Considérés comme des chants typiquement féminin, ce genre est exécuté lors des différentes manifestations du calendrier rituel tagba. Il est caractérisé par un instrument du même nom et constitue une forme de thérapie pour soigner des maladies récurrentes et des comportements déviants. Sa performance est ainsi prescrite à des femmes souffrant de maux multiples. Les chanteuses du genre constituent une consoeurie dont la hiérarchie se manifeste tant dans les rites spécifiques que dans la vie de la communauté des chanteuses ou dans leurs performances L’analyse du corpus de chants recueillis lors de différents séjours sur le terrain est conçue sous plusieurs axes. D'une part, celui des perceptions et la conception du monde chez les Tagba, d'autre part, celui de la performance. Enfin, le corpus est envisagé comme un ensemble de discours littéraires donnant lieu à une étude thématique et stylistique. Nécessitant une connaissance fine du parler de la communauté étudiée, ce dernier aspect prend appui sur une description linguistique qui constitue la première partie de ce travail. Au travers de toutes ces dimensions, l'ensemble de cette thèse s’attèle à dégager les significations sociales et culturelles qui entourent le genre oral sìcànἐ d’une part, les émettrices et l’instrument d’autre part Elle démontre que le sìcànἐ est un genre oral majeur qui véhicule les idéaux de la société tagba et peut être considéré comme une marque d’identité culturelle qui renferme la mémoire collective, le patrimoine culturel de cette société / This dissertation deals with the sì.cǎk-nɛ [sìcànἐ] (rattle songs), a Tagba oral genre in the west of Burkina Faso. These songs, typically feminine, are sung during ritual celebrations in the traditional Tagba calendar. The oral genre s cànɛ also means “rattle”, accompanied by an instrument of the same name and constitutes a therapy-li e form curing women’s recurrent diseases It is prescribed for women who suffer from troubles and suspicious behaviors. The women singers are organized in a hierarchy with order and rules like in a sisterhood.The corpus songs collected during different stays in the field will be analyzed from several points of view: that of the perception and conception of the world among the Tagba people on the one hand, that of the song performance on the other. Finally, the corpus is considered to be a set of literary discourses, objects of thematic and stylistic studies. Therefore, the first part of the dissertation is devoted to the linguistic description of the Tagba language, before pursuing the study of songs. Trough all these dimensions, this dissertation analyzes the social and cultural meanings of sìcànἐ as an oral genre on the one hand and the women singers and the instrument on the other hand. It demonstrates that the sìcànἐ is a main oral genre that conveys the ideals of the Tagba society and can be considered as a mark of cultural identity

xxviii, 592 p. : ill., music / This dissertation investigates the music and liturgy of the German Benedictine convent of Kloster Preetz as reflected in three fifteenth-century manuscripts: the Buch im Chor of prioress Anna von Buchwald, an antiphoner and a gradual. Chapter II describes the convent's music and liturgy and the cantrix's responsibilities, showing that the cloister practiced an unusually elaborate liturgy. It examines Anna's account of an episcopal visitation and explains resulting reforms. Chapter III examines the musical and liturgical roles of the cloister's children. I also present evidence of a group of female "professional" singers who contributed to the music on important occasions and examine Anna's descriptions of rules governing children's lives, the training of young cantrices, and cloister entrance rites. Chapter IV presents a physical description of the convent's gradual and antiphoner and an analysis of their scripts and notation, arguing for the presence of a convent scriptorium that fostered a unique notational lineage. Chapter V discusses music for the mass in the gradual, focusing on the genres of introit trope, alleluia, and sequence. A comparative analysis suggests an early and melodically conservative transmission of tropes. An analysis of alleluia assignments suggests a likeness to the manuscript I-Rvat 181 (Erfurt) and to the liturgical predecessor of a repertoire eventually promulgated by the Bursfeld reform. I furthermore describe six previously undocumented alleluias. A comparison of the sequence repertoires of Preetz and Lübeck shows that the cloister maintained a rich and unique selection. A case study of the melody OCCIDENTANA/REX OMNIPOTENS confirms a Rhenish origin for the earliest repertoire. Four unusual late sequences are analyzed for their textual and theological complexity. The cloister's unique version of the sequence Letabundus exultet reflects the convent's Marian devotion, hints at its imperial origins, and serves as self-depiction of the nuns' devotional practices. Chapter VI describes music for the office preserved in the antiphoner. An analysis of a previously unknown office for St. Blaise suggests that it may be a lost composition of tenth-century composer Reginold of Eichstätt. An added proper office for St. Matthias bespeaks a liturgical connection to Trier, likely transmitted through the Bursfeld movement. / Committee in charge: Dr. Lori Kruckenberg, Chairperson; Dr. Anne Dhu McLucas, Member; Dr. Marc Vanscheeuwijck, Member; Dr. Lisa Wolverton, Outside Member

No. of bitstreams: 1 ElisangelaTD_DISSERT_Parcial.pdf: 274404 bytes, checksum: debab65f6f30f4a59ea58edfa99e039e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-06-10 / This study incorporates many areas of knowledge to the Linguistics field, as it centers the social historicity of Brazilian and autos potiguares on two analytical proposes: the presence of linguistic formulas - in its macrostructure - into the paradigm of discursive traditions, following Kabatek (2006), Koch and Oesterreicher (2007), besides the theory of Speech Acts, in its microstructure, proposed by Austin (1990) and Searle (1995). Under Zumthor (1993; 1997; 2000; 2005; 2010), the idea of textual variability (mouvance) was alluded, highlighting that the text is always modifying, according to the performance and reception of the language uses. Considering this theoretical framework, we focus on the trinomial linguistic formulas, orality and performance, in order to describe the dynamics of stability, variation and change, emphasizing yet how extra-linguistic social-historic cultural relations influence its composition. Such discuss is inherent more precisely to Textual Analysis in enhancing the orality tradition as a linguistic support. The text, in its turn, becomes effective as an evocation, motivated by the transmission, reception and variability from its conservation and reiteration. Naturally, a methodological support based on quali-quantitative research was chosen, based on Flick (2009), who justifies the corpus composed by Brazilian Folias de Reis chants and Bois de Reis potiguares . Thereby Language dynamics, subjacent to tradition which takes effect by the use of a common social memory, are observed from two dimensions: on the first, it evocates the sacralization (religious) in which they stand their devotion to biblical History; secondly, a dissacralization with identified and ideological values, inherent to a people culture. The chant shows, in this ludic impulse, a contextualized activity which results in the following conclusion: the changing and stability processes in textual macro and microstructures occur, at the same time, by the adjustment to the use of the text accomplishing a social-political function and an ethical-pedagogic one; supposedly, social relationships arise the tradition and it, on its turn, evocates the variability and the nomadism in the text / Este estudo incorpora diversas ?reas do conhecimento ao campo da lingu?stica, uma vez que centra a historicidade social dos autos brasileiros e potiguares, a partir de duas propostas anal?ticas: a presen?a das f?rmulas lingu?sticas, em sua macroestrutura, dentro do paradigma das tradi??es discursivas, seguindo Kabatek (2006), Koch e Oesterreicher (2007), al?m da teoria dos atos de fala, em sua microestrutura, propostos por Austin (1990) e Searle (1995). Com Zumthor (1993; 1997; 2000; 2005; 2010), aludimos ? ideia de mov?ncia textual, evidenciando que o texto sempre sofre mudan?as considerando a performance e recep??o nos usos da linguagem. A partir desse arcabou?o te?rico, centramo-nos no trin?mio f?rmulas lingu?sticas, oralidade e performance a fim de descrever as din?micas de perman?ncia, varia??o e mudan?a que se estabelecem nesses textos e evidenciamos ainda como as rela??es extralingu?sticas s?cio-hist?ricas e culturais influenciam em sua composi??o. Tal discuss?o, mais precisamente, instala-se na An?lise do Texto, ao real?armos a tradi??o da oralidade como suporte lingu?stico. O texto, por sua vez, efetiva-se como evoca??o, motivados pela transmiss?o, recep??o, e mov?ncia, a partir de sua conserva??o e reitera??o. Naturalmente, optamos por um suporte metodol?gico baseado na pesquisa quali-quantitativa, evidenciado por Flick (2009), que respalda o corpus composto por cantos de Folias de Reis brasileiras e de Bois de Reis potiguares. Desse modo, observamos as din?micas da linguagem subjacente ? tradicionalidade que se efetiva pelo uso de uma mem?ria social partilhada a partir de duas dimens?es: na primeira, evoca a sacraliza??o (religiosa), em que erige a devo??o ? hist?rica b?blica; na segunda, a dessacraliza??o com valores identit?rios e ideol?gicos, constituintes culturais de um povo. O canto demonstra, nesse impulso l?dico, uma atividade contextualizada, que resulta na seguinte conclus?o: os processos de mudan?a e perman?ncia nas macro e microestruturas textuais dos cantos ocorrem, ao mesmo tempo, pelo ajustamento ao uso do texto cumprindo uma fun??o pol?tico-social e outra ?tico-pedag?gica; em tese, s?o as rela??es sociais que avivam a tradicionalidade e esta, por sua vez, evoca a mov?ncia e o nomadismo no texto / 2020-01-01
