Adam von Fulda, German musician, composer and teacher, completed his important treatise on music in 1490. While representing a conservative, northern tradition in late-medieval music theory, it also shows some evidence of humanist influence. The treatise is divided into four books which discuss the origins and uses of music, the theory of plainchant, mensuration and notation of rhythm, and proportions, respectively. Thus, throughout this informative work, Adam mixes the practical with the speculative. Although his style of explaining technical matters is clear and succinct, he also engages the reader's interest with his polemical and rhetorical digressions. This dissertation presents a detailed commentary upon Book II of the treatise, on musica plana (plainchant), accompanied by a translation from the Latin. The first two chapters of the dissertation are concerned with the biographical information available on Adam von Fulda, as well as with the format and transmission of the treatise. Three chapters of the dissertation serve as the commentary. Chapter III discusses Adam's treatment of the practical aspects of singing plainchant, including his discussions of the Guidonian hand, the gamut, the naming of pitches, hexachords and mutation (material covered in Chapters 1 to 6 of the treatise's second book). Chapter IV of the dissertation considers the subject of musical intervals as covered by Adam, and the ten rules of composition provided in his Chapters 7 to 12. These rules are perhaps the most interesting and unusual part of Book II, as they go beyond the stated subject of plainchant. Written composition, not just improvised counterpoint, is treated in a manner that anticipates later humanist regard for music as an art. Finally, Chapter V examines Adam's treatment of the modes of plainchant (discussed in his Chapters 13 to 17). A conclusion summarizes Adam's impact on later theorists and the importance of the treatise.

Este trabalho analisa o aspecto lírico-religioso de três canções marianas, recolhidas do Cancioneiro Popular do imigrante italiano na Região de Colonização Italiana e se propõe revelar, sob o aspecto das metáforas e das metonímias, a representação de Maria. Para tanto, este estudo dialoga com temas imprescindíveis para a obtenção de resultados, como História, Cultura, Identidade, Regionalidade, Mariologia, Metáforas, Metonímias (a Teoria de Metáforas Conceituais) e música. Assim sendo, a dissertação está estruturada sobre quatro capítulos que norteiam a análise e a interpretação. A saber: o Primeiro Capítulo entrelaça a História e a Cultura, procurando fazer uma revisão de aspectos relevantes da história da imigração italiana na RCI na Região Nordeste do Estado, focando a importância da religião e ou da fé desde os primórdios desse processo. A partir disso, há a análise sobre Região, Identidade e Religiosidade. O Segundo Capítulo destaca o Cancioneiro Popular e assim, o aspecto da Tradição Oral Popular. Aprofunda o aspecto da cultura popular expressada com o canto e traz em evidência a caracterização do Canto Mariano (origens, ritualismo e devoção do imigrante italiano). Demonstra, ainda, aspectos da devoção mariana, tão presente e viva junto ao imigrante, pois Maria é descrita como sendo a mãe que está sempre presente e junto aos seus filhos (povo). O Terceiro Capítulo, por sua vez, concentra a análise dos aspectos da Teoria da Metáfora Conceitual, da Simbologia e, também, da interpretação e pesquisa sobre as Virtudes, objetivando a análise da figura da mulher idealizada , ou ainda, da representação da mãe - Maria (Madonna). Por fim, no Quarto Capítulo, tem-se a Metodologia e a Análise das canções marianas, ou seja, a análise do corpus das canções: Beléssa di Maria; Maria Consolatrice; O Bèla mia Speransa, que motivam este estudo. Esta parte segue o método da análise semântica com base em George Lakoff (e colaboradores) que permeiam o estudo das metáforas conceituais. Há, também, a posição etnográfica, onde é destacada a pesquisa de campo realizada para conhecer opiniões e perspectivas do povo, indo além da análise do pesquisador. Após isso, é feita a síntese com os resultados obtidos pela pesquisa/estudo. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-28T17:29:23Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Lauro Edson da Cas.pdf: 660533 bytes, checksum: 67162060ee2c9127d36245efbaca0ad2 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-28T17:29:23Z (GMT).

To do that, this study takes into consideration imprescindible issues such as History, Culture, Identity, Religiosity, and Mariology, Metaphors, Metonymies (Conceptual Metaphor Theory) and music. This dissertation is structured upon four chapters as follows: the first chapter links History and Culture, trying to revise some relevant points of the history of the Italian immigration on the RCI in the Northeast Region of our state, focusing on the importance of religion and/or faith since the beginning of that process. Therefore, there is the analysis about the Region, Identity and Religiosity. The second chapter highlights the Cancioneiro Popular and then, the Popular Oral Tradition. Also, it deepens the aspect of popular culture expressed by the songs and brings into evidence the characterization of the Marian Songs (origins, ritualism and devotion of the Italian immigrant). Moreover, it shows some aspects of the Marian devotion, so present and alive within the immigrant, because Mary is described as the mother who is always with her children (the people). The third chapter, in turn, focus on the analysis of aspects of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory , of the Symbolism, and also of the interpretation and research regarding the Virtues, aiming at analyzing the idealized woman´s portrait , or still, the representation of the mother Mary (Madonna). At last, presented in the fourth chapter are the Methodology and the Analysis of the Marian Songs, that is, the analysis of the corpus of songs: Beléssa di Mary, Mary Consolatrice and O Bela mia Speransa that motivate the study. This part follows the method of semantic analysis, based on George Lakoff (and collaborators) that permeates the study of the conceptual metaphors. There is the ethnographic position as well, where is emphasized the field work carried out to know opinions and perspectives of the people, going beyond the researcher´s analysis. After that, the synthesis is done with the obtained results by the research/study.

La thèse exploite, pour la première fois, d’exceptionnels manuscrits de l’office cistercien. Comprenant la liturgie cistercienne d’origine messine copiée vers 1136/1140, ces documents ont servi, quelques années plus tard, de brouillons à la réforme liturgique et musicale de Bernard de Clairvaux. Ils ont été partiellement biffés et grattés de façon à correspondre aux nouvelles normes cisterciennes.<p>La principale liasse d’épreuves bernardines, constituée des quelque 185 folios de l’antiphonaire 12A-B de Westmalle, constitue le socle de la thèse et la matière du tableau liturgique général présenté dans l’annexe 3. Cette table distingue les pièces de première main de celles écrites par les correcteurs bernardins. Les autres épreuves, l’antiphonaire 6 de Tamié (Savoie) et les fragments de la Fille-Dieu (Suisse), ont été reproduites dans l’annexe 2. Avec les folios de Westmalle 12A-B, elles sont les seules à conserver une part importante des mélodies originelles, à révéler les corrections et les procédures bernardines. Les analyses codicologique et paléographique des documents, mises en relation avec les données historiques, ont permis de dégager deux phases de corrections et de situer l’achèvement de la réforme bernardine, vraisemblablement à Hautcrêt vers 1143.<p>Le répertoire de l’hymnaire a été revu (chapitre IV) et celui de la messe, réexaminé à la lumière des reliquats du premier graduel cistercien, jusqu’ici inexploités. Ces bribes intactes ont été confrontées aux équivalents de la deuxième réforme et ouvrent (chapitre III) l’étude comparative des chants de l’office du premier et du deuxième Cîteaux (chapitres VII à X). <p>Au fil de l’analyse, des échantillons tirés du graduel ou de l’antiphonaire sont présentés dans les tableaux synoptiques rassemblés dans l’annexe 1. Chacun d’entre eux comprend, quand c’est possible, la première version cistercienne originelle reconstituée, la version bernardine et, selon les besoins, un panel plus ou moins important de référents grégoriens (décrits au chapitre VI), destinés à replacer chaque liturgie cistercienne dans son contexte culturel et à en établir les sources. <p>Ce travail tend à modifier l’image de la réforme bernardine, censée avoir appauvri la tradition grégorienne par l’application stricte des règles musicales. Elle montre que de nombreuses pièces introduites par les correcteurs sont issues de la tradition clunisienne et parfois spécifiquement de la tradition de l’abbaye de Molesme d’où sont issus les pères fondateurs de Cîteaux. Les reliquats de la liturgie molesmienne notée, reproduits en fac-similé (annexes 2) et inconnus jusqu’ici, ont permis d’établir l’existence d’une chaîne de tradition musicale reliant Molesme aux monastères de sa tradition (Montier-la-Celle et Marmoutier) ;et de faire ressortir les liens qui unissent la tradition des premiers moines blancs à de nombreuses corrections bernardines. L’examen du bréviaire Paris 3241, sorti de l’anonymat en 2007 et exploité ici pour la première fois, a en particulier permis de conclure au transfert de pièces et formulaires entiers de la tradition molesmienne vers le deuxième Cîteaux. <p>Bien plus que la théorie musicale, réputée si importante, mais en réalité modérément appliquée, ce sont la raison pratique, le souci de l’authenticité et de la bonne articulation du texte latin, l’esthétique et la culture mélodique du terroir bourguignon qui ont guidé les choix des réformateurs bernardins. La liturgie messine, adoptée à Cîteaux entre 1108 et 1143, était porteuse de variantes dialectales que les Bernardins ont abandonnées pour se réapproprier leur patrimoine ancestral, marqué par des segments musicaux expressifs et des idiomes caractéristiques du domaine latin. <p>L’interprétation musicale de spécimens du premier et du deuxième Cîteaux, mis en regard, illustre ce basculement culturel de l’ensemble liturgique « est » vers celui de l’« ouest ». La pochette musicale comprend aussi quelques unica et emprunts traditionnels ciblés qui illustrent la richesse de l’esthétique du deuxième Cîteaux.<p> / Doctorat en Langues et lettres / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Au Yémen, et spécialement à Sanaa et dans les régions avoisinantes, la zaffah est à la fois une cérémonie collective et un rite de passage, dont l'organisation marque la célébration et la reconnaissance par la communauté du changement de statut de l'un de ses membres (mariage, mise au monde d'un enfant, obtention d'un diplôme...). Animée et interprétée par des spécialistes, la zaffah maintient dans la mémoire du groupe un répertoire de poésies chantées, dont la forme et le contenu véhiculent des traditions très anciennes, tout en s'adaptant aux mutations sociales et culturelles les plus récentes. / In Yemen, and especially in Sanaa and in the neighbouring regions, zaffah is both a collective ceremony and a rite of passage. Its organization marks the celebration and the recognition by the community of a change of status (marriage, birth, graduation…) of one of its members. Led and interpreted by specialists, zaffah maintains in the memory of the group a repertory of sung poetry, whose shape and contents transmit very old traditions, while adapting to the most recent social and cultural transformations.

The lecture recital was given on November 20, 1979. The final movement of Widor's Symphonie Gothique, opus 70, the first movement of Widor's Symphonie Romane, opus 73, and the first movement of Dupré's Symphonie-Passion, opus 23 were performed following a lecture on Gregorian Chant in the organ symphonies of Widor and Dupré. The lecture included a brief historical discussion of the decline of organ literature following the French Classical School, the development of the Modern French Organ School beginning with the establishment of the organ department at the Paris Conservatory, the revival of plainsong and the establishment of the School of Solesmes, and the influence of César Franck and the organ symphony. The main body of the lecture included biographical sketches of Widor and Dupré, a discussion of the general characteristics of their organ symphonies, with the emphasis upon those movements specifically employing the use of Gregorian chant.

Cette étude porte sur la naissance et l'évolution de la musique religieuse vocale en usage dans les missions amérindiennes de la Nouvelle-France au cours de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle. Condition essentielle à l'éclosion d'un premier répertoire vocal catéchétique, la conquête des langues amérindiennes par les missionnaires de diverses compagnies — jésuites, capucins, récollets, ursulines — y est par conséquent longuement traitée. La diffusion du cantique spirituel en langues amérindiennes, résultat d'une première maîtrise des idiomes locaux, fait ensuite l'objet d'une analyse détaillée. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2013
