Survey of Eighteen North-American Piano Method Books: Repertoire Selection and CategoriesLu, Yuanyuan 22 August 2012 (has links)
Many piano teachers agree that suitable repertoire motivates their students to learn and practice their instrument. Asking students to learn different categories of repertoire might be a good approach for piano teachers to motivate and maintain their students’ musical interests. However, how do teachers evaluate what kinds of repertoire is presented in the teaching material that is available to them? The purpose of this study is to review the pieces found in North-American piano method books in order to provide an inventory of the different categories of repertoire found in each series and to calculate the proportion of piano repertoire belonging in each category. Consequently, this research will allow piano teachers to see more clearly which kinds of repertoire are in a method book and help select the most appropriate method books for their students.

Defining the Contralto Voice Through the Repertoire of Ralph Vaughan WilliamsDaniels, Sarah M. 05 1900 (has links)
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the recognition of the contralto voice type had reached its apex in England. Throughout the remainder of the century, the number and popularity of recorded contraltos has decreased alongside the rise of the mezzo-soprano voice type. Due to the contralto’s decline and the lack of repertoire composed specifically for the voice, the definition of “contralto” remains somewhat ambiguous. The large contralto repertoire of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams displays a unique sensitivity to the contralto, particularly with regards to vocal range, flexibility, tessitura, and sustainability. These works thus suggest a new perspective for the voice type. The scope of Vaughan Williams’s oeuvre examined includes each of his operatic roles for contralto and choral works featuring the contralto. Also examined will be the compositional techniques implemented within these pieces which demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the contralto voice. A workable definition of the voice type for the pedagogue and performer is included.

Baroque influences in nineteenth and twentieth century piano repertoire: a study of interpretative issues.Xu, Wen January 2008 (has links)
The exegesis investigates ways in which major piano works of the 19th and 20th centuries reflect elements of baroque tradition and considers the implications for performance. After the baroque period, from the 18th century to the present, many composers have continued to explore baroque forms, textures and expressive devices. Thus, by investigating the nature of such stylistic linkages, the performer can enter the works at a deeper structural and expressive level. / Thesis (M.Mus.) -- Elder Conservatorium of Music, 2008

Von der Wandertruppe zum ständigen TheaterPappel, Kristel 14 March 2017 (has links) (PDF)
In meinem Vortrag möchte ich zeigen, welche Entwicklungsetappen die Etablierung des Theaters in Tallinn durchgemacht hat. Interessant wäre darüber hinaus zu untersuchen, was dabei im Verhältnis zu anderen deutschsprachigen Theatern ähnlich bzw. was unterschiedlich war. Ich werde mich der Frage widmen, welche Beziehungen es zu anderen Truppen oder Theatern im Ostseeraum gab, welchem Repertoire die Vorliebe des Publikums galt und aus welchen Schichten der Tallinner Einwohner das Publikum bestand.

Characterization of the naïve kappa light chain murine immunoglobulin repertoire in spaceflightWard, Claire January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Biology / Stephen K. Chapes / Immunoglobulins are receptors expressed on the outside of a B cell that can specifically bind pathogens and toxic substances within a host. These receptors are heterodimers of two chains: heavy and light, which are encoded at separate loci. Enzymatic splicing of gene segments at heavy and light chain loci within the genomic DNA in every B cell results in a highly diversified and specific repertoire of immunoglobulins in a single host. Spaceflight is known to affect reduce splenic B cell populations and B cell progenitors within the bone marrow, potentially restricting the diversity of the immunoglobulin repertoire (Ig-Rep).
The objective of this thesis project was to characterize the impact of spaceflight on the kappa light-chain Ig-Rep of the C57BL/6 mouse. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have enabled the rapid characterization of Ig-Reps, however, standard Ig-Rep workflows often rely the amplification of immunoglobulin sequences to ensure the capture immunoglobulin sequences from rare B cell clones. Additionally, the Ig-Rep is often assessed in sorted B cell populations.
Opportunities for spaceflight experiments are limited and costly, and the exclusive amplification of immunoglobulin sequences prior to HTS results in a dataset that cannot be mined for additional information. Furthermore, due to the difficulties of tissue collection in spaceflight, HTS of sorted B cell populations is not feasible. We optimized a protocol in which the Ig-Rep was assessed from unamplified whole tissue immunoglobulin transcripts. The Ig-Rep was characterized by gene segment usage, gene segment combinations and the region in which gene segments are joined. HTS datasets of ground control animals and animals flown aboard the International Space Station were compared to explore the impact of spaceflight on the unimmunized murine Ig-Rep.

Guidelines for repertoire selection for a beginner secondary school choir : an explanatory case study / Marshell Clive LombardLombard, Marshell Clive January 2014 (has links)
This study investigated the criteria conductors use to select repertoire for beginner
secondary school choirs and is based on a qualitative research design. The research
was guided by a social constructivist worldview and is an explanatory case study. Data
were collected through interviewing five experienced and established choir conductors
who conduct secondary school choirs. Five themes crystallised through the data
analyses, which are Education, Vocal ability, Type of choir, Programme choice and
Audience preference and development. This study leads to further recommendations
about possible research on repertoire that is best suited for beginner secondary school
choirs and choir singing as experienced by the choristers and the audiences
themselves. / MA (Musicology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
