Since the 1950s, composers worldwide have explored the use of the trombone in new and exciting ways, from expanding the functional range of the instrument to creating unique timbres through the use of mutes and extended techniques. Since then, many standard works in the literature have been born from this pushing of the envelope from composers like John Cage, Luciano Berio, Iannis Xenakis, and Daniel Schnyder. On the forefront of the newest crop of composers expanding the voice of the trombone is Tyler Kline (b. 1991). This project will function as a formal analysis and performer’s guide to his 2015 work render for bass or tenor trombone and fixed electronics. Through examination of this music, as well as a discussion with the composer and performances of this work, the performer will gain insight into the inspirations behind this work, Kline’s compositions on the whole, as well as performance considerations for this work. In addition to the performance guide, a recording of render, as well as several other works of Kline’s, will be produced and released as an album through New Branch Records in Lexington, KY.

The imagery in Jackson Pollock's three extant sketchbooks which date from c.1934-1939 is dependent on that of other artists, especially El Greco, Rubens and Tintoretto. By 1947 however, the painter achieved a mature synthesis, distinctly his, which influenced contemporary painting, and was seminal for the work of a number of artists of the succeeding era. This dissertation is an attempt to document the phases of Pollock's artistic style from the early 1930s through to the middle 1950s, and to investigate the forces which may have catalyzed his temperament and precipitated his late style. The early sketchbooks begun in c.1934 represent Pollock's engagement with the art of the Old Masters and the teaching techniques of Thomas Hart Benton that utilized works from the Renaissance. The third sketchbook from c.1937-1939 induced him to re-examine the work of the Old Masters in a dialectical approach which incorporated new masters with old, but remained preoccupied with the sacred imagery found in the first two books. It is a resolution of these seemingly opposing modes of representation which produced several influential paintings in the early 1940s, including Guardians of the Secret and Pasiphae. At the same time these works display structural emulations related to those of Old Master paintings that would become increasingly prominent in Pollock's art. The canvases of 1947-1950, produced in what is commonly termed the “Classic Poured Period,” appear to represent a quantum leap beyond the concerns of Old Master works and European precedents. By this point Pollock had developed a fluency and assurance in his use of color and line that seems to extend further than the studied paradigmatic repetitions of his early sketchbooks. However, despite the radically new technique his paintings still exhibit pictorial and formal infrastructures derived from Renaissance paintings which were absorbed into Pollock's new idiom with surprising ease. In 1951 Pollock enters what Francis V.O'Connor termed as ‘his fourth phase'. The Black paintings of 1951-1953 betray a further exploration and adaptation of Old Master ideas, both iconographic and aesthetic and were created in Triptychs and Diptychs, typical altarpiece formats. With these paintings Pollock's forms acquired a confident plasticity and invention derived from the sculptural practices of Michelangelo, and progressively fewer individual images are quoted verbatim. An understanding of Pollock's early preoccupation with old Master painting is essential to comprehend the formation of the aesthetics of much of his later art. Significantly the underlying infrastructure remains fixed to old Master precedents and it was precisely these models of Renaissance and Baroque art which became the medium through which his mature synthesis was achieved.

To reach this, we studied several thesis and dissertations about MMM and analysed some document´s from Osvaldo Sangiorgi´s Personal Archive APOS. These informations was complemented by documents from Acervo Histórico do Instituto Brasileiro de Edições Pedagógicas IBEP and a recorded interview done with Sangiorgi in 1988. The theorical methodologies considerations whe sustained by the following authors: Chartier (1991) who supported us on the appropriation concept comprehension; Prochasson (1998), Gomes (1998) and Alves (2003) that assisted us with the treatment with the APOS; Geertz (1989) who supported us on culture concept; Certeau (1982) who taugh us the historian work, Chevel (1990) and Julia (2001) which we discussed the concept of pertaining to school culture and the purposes of education, and Nóvoa (1992) that helped us with the teacher´s history of life. We evidenced that the impact of the book written by Morris Kline, sure made possible some openings for discution on possible corretions for the problems detected in the education of the Modern Mathematics in Brazil. Osvaldo Sangiorgi detached some positive points emerged with the Movement, between them: the mobilization of uncountable teachers in TV and in-classe courses, promoted by Grupo de Estudos do Ensino da Matemática GEEM and the student´s motivation showed on the participation in the Olimpíadas de Matemática. Considering these factors, among others, kept on spreending the Modern Mathematics until the 1980s, inserting, in this context, the application of this mathematics notions into the computer science / A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender como Osvaldo Sangiorgi apropriou-se do livro O Fracasso da Matemática Moderna , de Morris Kline, após 15 anos do Movimento da Matemática Moderna - MMM no Brasil e identificar os argumentos nos quais se baseou para diante do declarado fracasso continuar a divulgar a Matemática Moderna até a década de 80. Para tanto realizamos um estudo das teses e dissertações sobre o MMM e analisamos documentos do Arquivo Pessoal Osvaldo Sangiorgi APOS. Complementaram essas informações, documentos do Acervo Histórico do Instituto Brasileiro de Edições Pedagógicas IBEP e a gravação de uma entrevista com Osvaldo Sangiorgi realizada em 1988. As considerações teóricometodológicas foram apoiadas nos autores: Chartier (1991) que nos amparou na compreensão do conceito de apropriação; Prochasson (1998), Gomes (1998) e Alves (2003) que nos auxiliaram no tratamento com o APOS; Geertz (1989) nos amparou com o conceito de cultura; Certeau (1982) nos ensinou o trabalho do historiador; Chervel (1990) e Julia (2001) com os quais discutimos a concepção de cultura escolar e as finalidades do ensino; e Nóvoa (1992) que nos auxiliou na discussão da história da vida dos professores. Constatamos que o impacto do livro de Morris Kline, possibilitou sim uma abertura de discussões sobre possíveis correções para os problemas detectados no ensino da Matemática Moderna no Brasil. Osvaldo Sangiorgi destacou alguns pontos positivos surgidos com o Movimento, entre eles: a mobilização de inúmeros docentes nos cursos presenciais e pela TV, promovidos pelo Grupo de Estudos do Ensino da Matemática GEEM, e a motivação dos estudantes apreciada nas participações das Olimpíadas de Matemática. Por esses fatores, entre outros, continuou a divulgar a Matemática Moderna até a década de 80, inserindo, nesse contexto, uma aplicação dessa voltada a noções de informática
