Claudio Monteverdi's (1567-1643) ninth book of madrigals, the Madrigali e Canzonette, was published posthumously in 1651. These accompanied madrigals are for two or three voices, and some of them were previously published in his earlier books of madrigals, though the majority were unpublished. One of the types of analyses that helps to provide a plausible rationale for many of Monteverdi's melodic and harmonic decisions within those madrigals is musico-rhetorical analysis. Analyzing a madrigal rhetorically involves attempting to identify the musical techniques that coincide with rhetorical devices in a certain text setting. Rhetorical analysis of the first eight madrigals of Claudio Monteverdi's Madrigali e Canzonnette elucidates the composer's decisions concerning both pitch content and harmonic structure, and casts new light upon his expressive intent vis-à-vis his texts.

Le présent mémoire consiste en une étude des possibilités qu'offr l'intermédialité dans la nouvelle littéraire, plus précisément l'apport de la musique dans le texte nouvellier. Il se divise en deux volets, soit un recueil de nouvelles, intitulé Préludes, et un essai, Entendre pour mieux lire. Étude des relations musique / texte dans le recueil de nouvelles L'art de la fugue de Guillaume Corbeil. Dans un premier temps, le recueil de nouvelles Préludes explore les possibilités offertes par la musique tant sur le plan thématique que sur les formes que peut prendre le texte narratif bref. En tout, neuf nouvelles sont coiffées d'un intertitre musical indiquant une contrainte à respecter, tout comme le musicien doit tenir compte des indications de tempo ou de nuances inscrites à même sa partition. Préludes met en scène des personnages en équilibre entre l'immobilité et le prochain pas à franchir, telle une métaphore du musicien qui cherche à entendre la mélodie dès que la dernière ligne de sa partition est lue et avant même quelle ne soit jouée. Dans un deuxième temps, l'essai vise à relever les traits propres à la forme musicale de la fugue dans deux nouvelles tirées du recueil de Guillaume Corbeil, L'art de la fugue. Par le biais d'une méthode alliant outils musicaux et littéraires, je cherche à cerner les caractéristiques propres au genre nouvellier, lesquelles seraient susceptibles de favoriser l'intermédialité musique / texte. Tout en tenant compte des limites de chaque art, le traitement des motifs, la superpositon de voix et la structure des nouvelles sont ici analysés. Enfin, un bref retour sur les défis d'écriture que j'ai dû relever est effectué.

In this MA-thesis, I investigate the usage of musical terminology in the study of modern, post-metric poetry. I present the theoretical field «musico-literary studies», and point to some examples of inconsistent vocabulary in the critical debate on musicalized poetry. I also examine the effectiveness of the musical analogy in the analysis of poetic texts, and put this to the test in three textual analyses: «Some soldier wrote» by Ursula Andkjær Olsen, «Absentia animi» by Gunnar Ekelöf and Solaris korrigert by Øyvind Rimbereid. The thesis concludes that the musical analogy and the use of a musical vocabulary should be used with some care. Although it can often highlight interesting compositional and even thematic aspects of poetic texts, the analogy only becomes fully functional when the text is structured by the same principles as the musical form in question.

For this, some issues that permeate the main theme have been described, including: the contemporary musician labor market, the various Pianist possibilities of action and competencies/skills, the objectives of higher education in music and some specific information about course in question, such as: history of the institution, physical space, Political Pedagogical Project, faculty evaluation to enter the course and graduate's profile. In addition to the literature was carried out field research, with questionnaires and observation of some subjects in order to see how the musical education of these students happens in practice throughout the course. This step included the participation of teachers and students of Bachelor of Music Qualification in Instrument - Piano EMAC/UFG. It was found that the labor market for the pianist is increasingly expanded, since these professionals can come to work in different ways and many different contexts to be in as a performer and/or as a teacher. In addition, it was observed that the course in question is also aware of demand in this market, however some changes in the performance of the student and the teacher will be necessary for the proposal of the Pedagogical Project politico does occur. / Esta dissertação de mestrado tem por objetivo verificar como ocorre a formação do pianista no curso de Bacharelado em Música Habilitação em Instrumento – Piano, da Escola de Música e Artes Cênicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás (EMAC/UFG), tendo em vista as demandas do mercado de trabalho atual. Para isso, alguns assuntos que permeiam o tema principal foram explanados, entre eles: o mercado de trabalho do músico contemporâneo, as diversas possibilidades de atuação do pianista e suas competências/habilidades, os objetivos do ensino superior em música e algumas informações específicas sobre o curso em questão, tais como: história da instituição, espaço físico, Projeto Político Pedagógico, corpo docente, avaliação para ingressar no curso e perfil do egresso. Além do levantamento bibliográfico foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, com a aplicação de questionários e a observação de algumas disciplinas, com o intuito de verificar como a formação musical destes alunos acontece na prática ao longo do curso. Tal etapa contou com a participação de professores e alunos do curso de Bacharelado em Música Habilitação em Instrumento - Piano da EMAC/UFG. Foi possível constatar que o mercado de trabalho para o pianista está cada vez mais expandido, já que este profissional pode vir a atuar de diversas maneiras e nos mais diversos contextos, seja como performer e/ou como professor. Além disso, observou-se que o curso em questão também está atento a demanda deste mercado, entretanto, algumas mudanças na atuação do aluno e do professor serão necessárias para que a proposta do Projeto Político Pedagógico ocorra de fato.

Alors que les bibliothèques d’écrivains et d’artistes plasticiens ont déjà fait l’objet de publications théoriques et méthodologiques d’envergure (cf. notamment :D’Iorio et Ferrer, 2001 ;Levaillant, Gamboni et Bouiller, 2010 ;Belin, Mayaux et Verdure-Mary, 2018) soutenues par nombre d’études monographiques, les bibliothèques littéraires de compositeurs ne peuvent encore se prévaloir d’une telle attention. Ainsi, en écartant la question des liens entre textes et musique dans les œuvres, déjà abondamment étudiée, et à la suite des recherches menées à propos des écrits de compositeurs, la présente thèse entend contribuer à l’élargissement des études musico-littéraires, en interrogeant les bibliothèques littéraires des compositeurs, comprises comme « ensembles de textes », pour elles-mêmes et comme ensembles construits. Cette thèse se compose de deux parties. La première partie présente, en premier lieu, un état de l’art des recherches relatives aux bibliothèques de compositeurs, en se concentrant avant tout sur le champ français et le statut de ce type d’archives dans les fonds musicaux. En second lieu, s’ensuit une révision des notions théoriques établies dans le cadre des études sur les bibliothèques d’écrivains et de peintres, à la lumière de notre objet d’étude. S’y pose également la question des limites à donner à la « bibliothèque littéraire » du compositeur, par rapport à ce que pourrait comprendre sa « bibliothèque musicale ». La seconde partie de la thèse est consacrée à l’étude des bibliothèques de Vincent d’Indy (1851-1931), Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) et Francis Poulenc (1899-1963), l’objectif étant de préciser les voies par lesquelles ces compositeurs ont enrichi leur capital culturel, en s’aventurant au-delà de la sphère musicale. Y sont abordées, d’une part, les questions de reconstitution et d’inventorisation de ces bibliothèques, d’autre part, celles des pratiques de lecture et des dynamiques intellectuelles et créatrices que ces bibliothèques mettent en œuvre. Les inventaires des bibliothèques de d’Indy, Ravel et Poulenc sont disponibles en annexe. / Doctorat en Langues, lettres et traductologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

L’objectif de ce mémoire est de comprendre comment une certaine vision du monde, basée sur des croyances théologiques, a contribué à la composition du concerto pour violon Offertorium de Sofia Gubaïdulina. C’est par le biais de cette œuvre qu’est explorée l’idée du dialogue musicothéologique, en proposant des façons par lesquelles la pièce musicale en question peut servir de porteuse ou d’interprète d’une pensée théologique. Afin d’appuyer cette idée, la démarche intertextuelle employée par Heidi Epstein est utilisée. Cette méthode permet de faciliter non seulement le travail interdisciplinaire, mais aussi la lecture théologique de l’œuvre musicale. Le premier chapitre explore les sources, les questions et la problématique qui entoure le dialogue musicothéologique. La conclusion tirée est que l’étude d’Offertorium nécessite une approche équilibrée. Nous entendons par cela, une approche qui prend en ligne de compte la réflexion théologique autant que la recherche musicologique tout en respectant les contributions théologiques que l’œuvre musicale peut apporter en soi. Dans le deuxième chapitre, une analyse thématique d’Offertorium a été tentée ainsi qu’une étude du discours théologique et spirituel de la compositrice. Il a été conclu que l’arrière-plan russe orthodoxe de Gubaidulina a beaucoup influencé sa vision du monde et son approche artistique. Le concerto est porteur d’idées et de symboles liturgiques ou théologiques de l’Orthodoxie dans sa structure et dans sa construction thématique. Le troisième chapitre explore les parallèles entre la pensée de Gubaidulina et les écritures de plusieurs théologiens russes orthodoxes du 20e siècle. La conclusion de ce chapitre démontre que, même s’il est improbable que la compositrice connaisse bien ces auteurs, sa compréhension théologique et spirituelle sort du climat religieux de l’Église Orthodoxe. Cette idée explique les complémentarités et les similarités entre son discours, son œuvre et les propos des théologiens discutés. Le quatrième chapitre évalue la validité d’Offertorium comme moyen d’expression théologique ainsi que de générateur de réflexion théologique. La conclusion de la recherche est qu’Offertorium peut bel et bien être un espace théologique. Ce qui veut dire que des idées théologiques peuvent être communiquées par le biais de l’expérience sonore que ce soit par la mélodie ou l’ambiance générale. Également, cela implique que la musique devient un partenaire égal, quoique différent des méthodes de réflexion traditionnelles au sein de la conversation théologique. / This paper explores the musico-theological dialogue through the study of Sofia Gubaidulina's violin concerto, Offertorium. Its aim is to understand how theological belief and worldview have influenced and contributed to Offertorium's composition, and in consequence, how the concerto serves as an interpretive conductor of theological thought. To support this idea, the intertextual method developed by Heidi Epstein is employed, which aids not only the interdisciplinary approach, but also a theological analysis of a musical work. Chapter One explores the sources, questions and problematic concerning musico-theological dialogues. It concludes that for studying Offertorium, a balanced approach was in order, one that took into consideration theological reflection as much as musicological research, and that respected the music's theological contributions in its own right. Chapter Two attempts an analysis of Offertorium and a study of the composer's discourse on matters of theology, religion and spirituality. It is concluded that Gubaidulina's background in Russian Orthodoxy has deeply influenced her worldview and artistic approach. Many Orthodox theological and liturgical themes and symbols are present structurally or thematically in the concerto. Chapter Three explores the parallels between the composer's ideas and the writings of several contemporary Russian Orthodox theologians. It concludes that while it is improbable that Gubaidulina is familiar with these writers, hers is a worldview that has emerged from the experience of a Russian Orthodox climate which explains the similarities and complementarities between her work and the work of the discussed authors. Chapter Four evaluates the validity of Offertorium as a means of theological expression, but also as the producer of original theological thought. It concludes that both are possible, rendering Offertorium its own theological ground. The conclusion of the study is that a musical work such as Offertorium can be a “theological ground”. This entails that theological ideas in this case are communicated through experience (experiencing sound, melody and musical ambiance) and not through traditional means of textbook or sermon. This also insinuates that music can be an equal, albeit entirely different, player in the theological dialogue.

Croisant deux sphères artistiques dont les relations ont été quelque peu ignorées et dont les antagonismes ont été parfois fantasmés, cette étude se propose d’analyser les résonances croisées, fécondes et réciproques existant entre le rock et la littérature. Ouvrant un champ de recherche quasiment vierge, elle est confrontée à l’instabilité d’un mot insaisissable (le rock) qui est peut-être en cela une métaphore de l’imaginaire contemporain. Critique et vecteur du spectacle, bruit apparemment informe dont il est difficile de parler, le rock résonne dans les productions littéraires comme il est influencé par elles. A l’aune de cette problématique, nous avons cherché à manifester un espace littéraire à l’écoute du rock, espace hétérogène constitué par des rock-fictions ou fictions du rock, la critique rock, les écrits des artistes, une poésie électrique ou encore des oeuvres littéraires sans cesse citées par les musiques populaires. Outre une cartographie de cet espace, nous avons observé la manière dont les textes fantasment leur proximité, leur appartenance ou leur rejet du rock et, ou, du littéraire, dans autant d’échos et de distorsions poétiques, esthétiques et axiologiques. Dès lors, eu égard à la disparité formelle du rock et à sa volatilité sémantique, cette analyse dépasse nécessairement les bornes d’une réflexion musico-littéraire. La métaphore de l’écoute qui l'a guidé ne vise donc pas (simplement) à réconcilier amateurs ou littératures des musiques savantes et des musiques populaires, mais elle est le modèle d’une posture d’écoute qui conjugue aussi bien la distraction face aux résonances (littéraires) du rock que l’attention face aux dissonances du réel / Intertwining two artistic spheres of which the relations have been quite ignored and their antagonisms have sometimes been the object of fantasies, this study proposes to analyze the intertwined, fruitful and mutual resonances, between rock and literature. In fact, by opening a field of research almost inexistent, it is confronted to the instability of an elusive word (rock) which can be thus considered as a metaphor of the contemporary imaginary. Critic and medium of the spectacle, noise seemly inform about which it is hard to talk, rock resonates in literary productions as it is influenced by it. In regard of this problematic, the aim of this study is to reveal a literary space listening to rock, an heterogeneous space composed by rock-fictions or fictions of rock, rock criticism, artists’ writing, an electrical poetry or even literary works constantly quoted by popular music. Beside a cartography of this literary space, we observed the way the texts fantasized their proximity, their belonging or their reject of rock and, or, the literary field, through as many echo as poetic, esthetic and axiological distortions. From that point, in regard of the formal disparity of rock and of its semantic volatility, this work goes inevitably beyond the limits of a musical-literary analysis. The metaphor of the listening which has guided this study does not (simply) point to the reconciliation between lovers or literatures of academic music and popular music, but it stands as the model of a listening posture which combines the distractions in front of the (literary) resonances as well as the attention to the dissonances of the real

The present work is intended to ascertain the most important stylistic developments of one major composer, Binchois, and several lesser composers: Grenon, Fontaine, Vide, Joye, Constans, Morton and Hayne. All of these musicians were employed by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy (1420-1467), when he was one of the richest, most powerful and most respected of all the sovereigns of Europe.

A investigação, de caráter qualitativo (PIRES, 2010; GONZÁLEZ REY, 2005; MELUCCI, 2005), teve por objetivo geral compreender as práticas músico-educativas engendradas nos Festivais de Coros do Rio Grande do Sul, que foram realizados durante o período 1963-1978, na cidade de Porto Alegre, capital do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Como objetivos específicos a pesquisa buscou: 1) analisar a constituição e a organização dos Festivais de Coros; 2) examinar como eram mobilizados os atores sociais para os/dos Festivais de Coros, as estratégias de envolvimento utilizadas, as redes de cooperação e interdependência que permitiam a realização dos eventos e as tramas que envolveram os atores sociais naquele contexto específico; 3) interpretar a participação de coros, regentes e plateia e as exigências colocadas para os participantes dos Festivais; 4) analisar quais eram as concepções sobre cantar em coro, que aprendizagens e que formações musicais ocorreram nos/a partir da participação nos eventos e quais foram as contribuições dos Festivais de Coros. Como procedimento investigativo trabalhei a partir da história oral, com a qual pude combinar fontes escritas (artigos de jornais da época, programas musicais, cartas) com fontes orais (pré-entrevistas e entrevistas). Para a compreensão das redes estabelecidas pelos participantes dos Festivais de Coros, empreguei o conceito de configurações ou figurações de Norbert Elias (1997; 2008). Pelo conteúdo dos Festivais analisados, foram úteis as visões teóricas que focam o canto coral como movimento sociopolítico ou nacionalista (CHINALI, 2009; GILIOLI, 2008; SILVA, 2001, 2012; SANTOS, 2012; SOUZA 1991, 1999, 2007). Estudos sobre festivais de arte também ajudaram a iluminar o campo empírico (FLÉCHET, 2011, 2013; GOETSCHEL; HIDIROGLOU, 2013). Práticas músico-educativas foram se constituindo e sendo propaladas a partir da ação dos agentes participantes dos Festivais. A partir de uma comissão organizadora foi institucionalizada a Associação dos Festivais de Coros do Rio Grande do Sul, que passou a mobilizar atores internos (coros, regentes, imprensa e público) e externos (autoridades, governos, patrocinadores e apoiadores). Examinar o que era exigido e que dinâmica movia regentes, coros e público a participar dos Festivais de Coros, ajuda a compreender as aprendizagens geradas e impulsionadas pelo contexto. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram as formações musicais de cantores, regentes e público ocorridas a partir de concepções sobre cantar em coro e do habitus (ELIAS, 1997) gerado na e pela participação nos Festivais, além de outras contribuições impulsionadas por aqueles eventos. / This research, of qualitative frame (PIRES, 2010; GONZÁLEZ REY, 2005; MELUCCI, 2005), had as objective to understand the music-educational practices taken place in the Rio Grande do Sul Choir Festivals, held during the period 1963-1978 in the city of Porto Alegre, capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Specific objectives of this research were: 1) To analyze the constitution of the Choir Festivals; 2) To exam how social actors were mobilized for the/from the Choir Festivals, as well as the engagement strategies used in it, the cooperation networks and interdependence which allowed the events to take place and the wefts which involved social actors in that specific context; 3) To interpret the participation of choirs, conductors and public, as well as the demands requested to the participants of the Festivals; 4) To analyze which were the conceptions about choral singing, which apprenticeships and musical formations occurred in the/from the participation in the events, and which were the contributions left by the Choir Festivals. As a research procedure I worked with oral history, with which I could combine written resources (newspaper articles of that period, musical programs and letters) with oral resources (pre-interviews and interviews). To understand the networks established by the participants of the Choir Festivals I used the concept of configuration or figuration by Norbert Elias (1997; 2008). Through the content of the analyzed Festivals, it were useful the theoretical visions that focus choral singing as a sociopolitical or nationalistic movement (CHINALI, 2009; GILIOLI, 2008; SILVA, 2001, 2012; SANTOS, 2012; SOUZA 1991, 1999, 2007). Studies about art festivals also helped to throw light over the empirical field (FLÉCHET, 2011, 2013; GOETSCHEL; HIDIROGLOU, 2013). Musiceducational practices were constituted and propelled from the action of the participants agents of the Festivals. An organized committee was the start to institutionalize the Rio Grande do Sul Choir Association, which began to mobilize internal actors (choirs, conductor, press and public), and external actors (authorities, governments, sponsors and supporters). To examine what was requested and what dynamics moved conductors, choirs and public to participate in the Choir Festivals, helped to understand the apprenticeships generated and driven by the context. The results of the research show the music formation of singers, conductors and public generated from conceptions of choral singing and the habitus (ELIAS, 1997) generated in the/by the participation in the Festivals, as well as other contributions driven by those events.
