Harmonic organization in Les mamelles de Tirésias by Francis PouleneKipling, Diane January 1995 (has links)
The opera bouffe Les mamelles de Tiresias (1944) by Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) stands at the crossroad between the composer's formative and mature works. The opera exhibits a number of harmonic features characteristics of Poulenc's eclectic, idiosyncratic style. This thesis attempts to address the lack of attention given this work in particular and Poulenc's output in general. / The thesis consists of two volumes. Volume I contains the introduction, three chapters and the conclusion. Volume 2 contains musical examples, analytical graphs and reproductions of Act 1, Scenes 1 and 2, and Act 2, Scenes 7 and 8 from the piano-vocal score of Les mamelles de Tiresias. / The first chapter of Volume 1 reviews two Ph.D. dissertations that examine Poulenc's harmonic language; and summarizes the more recent analyses by Vivan Wood, Pamela Poulin and Keith Daniels. Figures (the musical examples) for Chapter 1 are given in Volume 2. / Chapter 2 of Volume 1 examines the large-scale harmonic organization in pivotal scenes that are representative of the musical language in the opera. / Chapter 3 of Volume I extends Warren Werner's and Richard Bobbitt's approach to show how local events and large-scale harmonic motions can be viewed as leitmotives that symbolize key events in the drama. Figures (the musical examples) and Graphs (the analytical graphs) for Chapter 3 are given in Volume 2. / The conclusion reviews there observations of the study and makes some general remarks about Poulenc's harmonic language.

The Elements of Jazz Harmony and AnalysisMahoney, J. Jeffrey 08 1900 (has links)
This study develops a method for analyzing jazz piano music, primarily focusing on the era 1935-1950. The method is based on axiomatic concepts of jazz harmony, such as the circle of fifths and root position harmonies. 7-10 motion between root and chordal seventh seems to be the driving force in jazz motion. The concept of tritone substitution leads to the idea of a harmonic level, i.e., a harmony's distance from the tonic. With this method in hand, various works of music are analyzed, illustrating that all harmonic motion can be labelled into one of three categories. The ultimate goal of this analytic method is to illustrate the fundamental harmonic line which serves as the harmonic framework from which the jazz composer builds.

Dissonance Treatment in Fuging Tunes by Daniel Read from The American Singing Book and The Columbian HarmonistSims, Scott G. 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis treats Daniel Read's music analytically to establish style characteristics. Read's fuging tunes are examined for metric placement and structural occurrence of dissonance, and dissonance as text painting. Read's comments on dissonance are extracted from his tunebook introductions. A historical chapter includes the English origins of the fuging tune and its American heyday. The creative life of Daniel Read is discussed. This thesis contributes to knowledge of Read's role in the development of the New England Psalmody idiom. Specifically, this work illustrates the importance of understanding and analyzing Read's use of dissonance as a style determinant, showing that Read's dissonance treatment is an immediate and central characteristic of his compositional practice.

Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Este trabalho tem por finalidade avaliar determinados aspectos que nortearam algumas das principais especulações realizadas no campo da harmonia na música do século XX. Dentre os objetivos estiveram presentes: apontar as premissas e estratégias que fizeram parte de cada novo território harmônico, bem como explorar a idéia do uso de "matrizes harmônicas" como princípio composicional. Aliado a isso, ressaltamos também as relações entre as estratégias composicionais, via manipulação de alturas, e suas resultantes enquanto timbre e sonoridade. Para tanto, foram escolhidos compositores que em algum momento fizeram do timbre harmônico e da matéria sonora mais um elemento caracterizante dentro do processo composicional. Dentre os compositores figuraram: Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, Edgard Varèse, Pierre Schaeffer, Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez e Flo Menezes. No caso de Varèse, justificamos sua significativa presença no trabalho por julgarmos sua relação com a matéria sonora, seu próprio material composicional, precursora na música do século XX. Por este motivo, fez-se necessário uma análise de Intégrales visando uma maior aproximação do seu idioma composicional e de suas estratégias para a escrita do timbre. Paralelamente aos estudos, tivemos como resultado uma série de obras compostas pelo autor onde a utilização de "matrizes harmônicas" passou a ser um aspecto relevante para o processo composicional, uma espécie de guia da sonoridade. / Abstract: This study has the goal of evaluating certain aspects that guided some of the main speculations in harmony in twentieth-century music. Among its objectives are: to point out the premisses and strategies that took part in each new harmonic territory, as well as to explore the use of harmonic matrixes as a compositional principle. At the same time we underline how compositional strategies relate by means of pitch manipulation, and their results in timbre and sonority. To achieve this, we chose composers that in some point made use of harmonic timbre and sound matter as a distinctive element in the compositional process. Among them stand: Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, Edgard Varèse, Pierre Schaeffer, Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez. In Varèse's case, we justify his significant appearance by judging his relation to sound matter, and his own composition material, as pioneering in twentieth-century music. For this reason, an analysis of Intégrales became necessary, aiming at a closer approach to his musical idiom and his strategies for the writing of timbre. Besides the studies, we had as a result a series of works composed by the author in which the use of harmonic matrixes became a relevant feature in the compositional process, a sort of a guide to sonority. / Mestrado / Mestre em Música
