Com a mudança no cenário musicológico internacional no final do século XX, o desenvolvimento da teoria das tópicas musicais encontrou terreno fértil nas análises sobre expressividade e significação do discurso musical. Apesar de seu principal objeto de estudo se pautar nas obras de compositores dos séculos XVIII e XIX, as tópicas musicais têm sido utilizadas como ferramentas de análise em obras de diversos períodos da música brasileira. Entretanto, pouco se tem pesquisado sobre a sua influência nas obras luso-brasileiras do período colonial. Nesta mesma senda, sabe-se que a obra religiosa de Marcos Portugal, importante compositor da Casa Real Portuguesa durante o reinado do príncipe regente D. João VI, também carece de atenção no âmbito das investigações musicológicas. Assim, diante destas duas carências, este trabalho pretende, como objetivo geral, observar as recorrências tópicas na Missa de Réquiem em Mi bemol maior de Marcos Portugal. O contexto fúnebre em que as Missas de Réquiem são compostas possibilita a ocorrência de jogos semânticos e simbólicos entre a música, a religião e a morte. Dessa forma, observamos como as tópicas de marcha fúnebre, ombra e tempesta são apresentadas no Réquiem de Marcos Portugal e como contribuem para a construção da expressividade e sentimentos comuns diante da morte: o temor pela condenação eterna e a esperança de salvação. / The transition of the international musicology context in the late twentieth-century has made it possible for the development of Topic Theory to find a breeding ground for the analysis about musical discourse expressivity and signification. While its main object of research is based on works from eighteenth and nineteenth-century composers, musical topics have been used as analysis tools in musical works from several Brazilian music periods. Nevertheless, very little has been researched about its influences in Luso-Brazilian colonial musical works. Similarly, it is known that the religious works of Marcos Portugal, a relevant composer of the Royal House during the reign of the Regent Prince D. João VI, also requires further attention as far as musicological investigations are concerned. Thus, given these two shortcomings, the aim of this study is to look for topical recurrences in Marcos Portugal Requiem Mass in E flat major. The funeral context in which Requiem Masses are composed makes the occurrence of semantic and symbolic games between music, religion and death, possible. In this way, we have noticed how funeral march, ombra and tempesta topics are employed in Marcos Portugal Requiem and how these topics contribute to the construction of expressivity and common feelings before death: awe of the eternal damnation and hope of salvation.

Recognizing the challenges small groups have to program a major work, in 2010, Joachim Linckelmann created a chamber ensemble arrangement of Johannes Brahms's "Ein deutsches Requiem." In 1869, J.M. Reiter-Biedermann published Brahms's four-hand piano arrangement of "Ein deutsches Requiem." Brahms's arrangement serves as an excellent comparison to the chamber ensemble version by Linckelmann, since it can be assumed that Brahms chose to highlight and focus on the parts he deemed the most important. This study was a comparative analysis of the two arrangements and was completed in three stages. The first stage documented every significant change in Joachim Linckelmann's recent chamber arrangement. The second stage classified each change as either a reduction, reorganization, or elimination. The final stage of the analysis was to compare the choices made by Linckelmann to those made by Brahms. The results show that Linckelmann's choices for reduction, reorganization, and elimination closely align with those of Brahms. The only differences between the arrangements can be attributed to Linckelmann's focus on retaining the original orchestral timbre and Brahms's focus on providing the original vocal parts.

Durante décadas, el papel que la música cumple en la industria cinematográfica ha sido indiscutible, pues ambas artes han demostrado ser capaces de interrelacionarse perfectamente hasta lograr una adecuada fusión de música e imagen, por lo que resulta imposible que una prescinda de otra. Sin embargo, ¿qué sucede cuando la historia de los filmes presenta escenas violentas de forma inesperada? Es supuesto que tanto sonido como escena transmitan este concepto a su audiencia, y si bien el guion auxilia a la imagen para lograrlo, para el público resulta desconocido el reconocer cómo lo realiza la música. En consecuencia, el espectador se encuentra expuesto ante cualquier efecto que se produzca frente a las técnicas o métodos que aquello implique. De esta manera, la presente investigación pretende evaluar los casos de dos películas contemporáneas calificadas como género dramático: Requiem for a dream e Irreversible, con el fin de demostrar, a través de un análisis de la banda sonora, la manipulación del sonido hacia el público y; seguidamente, evidenciar la responsabilidad del compositor frente a este fenómeno. Es así, que se recurrirá a reconocidos investigadores y expertos en el campo de la música cinematográfica tales como Michel Chion, Philip Ball, Hanss Eisler, Theodor Adorno, entre otros. / For decades, the role that music plays in the film industry has been indisputable, as both arts have shown to be capable of being perfectly interrelated to achieve an adequate fusion of music and image, and it is impossible for one to dispense with the other. However, what happens when the story of the films presents violent scenes in unexpected ways? It is assumed that both sound and scene transmit this concept to its audience, and although the script helps the image to achieve it, it is unknown for the public to recognize how the music performs it. Consequently, the viewer is exposed to any effect that occurs against the techniques or methods that this involve. In this way, this research aims to evaluate the cases of two contemporary films classified as dramatic genre: Requiem for a dream and Irreversible, in order to demonstrate, through an analysis of the soundtrack, the manipulation of sound towards the public and; afterward, to show the responsibility of the composer in front of this phenomenon. In this way, renowned researchers and experts in the field of film music such as Michel Chion, Philip Ball, Hanss Eisler, Theodor Adorno, among others, will be used in this investigation.

Le fanzine Requiem a été le premier périodique entièrement consacré à la science-fiction et au fantastique à paraître au Québec. Durant ses cinq années d’existence sous ce nom (1974-1979), avant de se professionnaliser et de devenir la revue Solaris, il a été l’unique lieu d’échange et de publication pour les amateurs et les amatrices de littératures de l’imaginaire du Québec. Il a donc constitué un espace où ont dû cohabiter une multitude de perspectives différentes sur la science-fiction et le fantastique. Comme le fanzine a été publié en pleine deuxième vague du féminisme et que des écrivaines féministes, Esther Rochon et Élisabeth Vonarburg, ont contribué à la revue, nous nous interrogerons sur la manière dont s’intègrent ces idées féministes à ce lieu de discussion et, plus précisément, sur la façon dont les femmes y participent. Pour rendre compte de la teneur des idées féministes et de la parole des femmes dans la revue, ce mémoire propose une analyse des différents discours qu’y sont tenus. Étant donné que l’analyse du discours implique des considérations autant rhétoriques et littéraires que sociales et politiques, nous analyserons à la fois le contexte de parution de la revue, les fictions et les textes à caractère non fictionnel (articles, chroniques, critiques littéraires) qui y sont publiés, chaque fois sous l’angle du stéréotype. Celui-ci est au centre des critiques des discours féministes dans Requiem, mais aussi un des principaux enjeux de l’intégration des femmes en science-fiction et en fantastique.

The thesis focuses on the rendering of the poetics of Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva in Czech translations. The first part deals with the phenomenon of poetesses in the Russian literature and subsequently with Akhmatova's and Tsvetaeva's life, works, style and reception. The second part is focused on contrastive translatological analysis of different approaches to their poetry and detailed analysis of existing Czech translations of Akhmatova's poem Rekviem and Tsvetaeva's work Popytka revnosti. It defines the approach of all translators to translation and evaluates the quality and adequacy of individual translation solutions in relation to the author's style and intention.

Difundida por meio da educação, popularizou-se e ganhou status de instrumento profissional. Atualmente, seu uso massivo faz com que seja encarada com preconceito e descrédito. Torna-se necessário ampliar seu repertório de forma que as práticas musicais atuais sejam contempladas. Nessa perspectiva, a presente pesquisa visa colaborar com a ampliação do repertório de música contemporânea de concerto para flauta doce, concebendo uma obra para flauta doce e orquestra, utilizando-se das suas técnicas expandidas e aplicando os conceitos de exotopia, responsabilidade e acabamento do pensador e humanista russo Mikhail Bakhtin. Ao longo dos estudos, um bocal de flauta doce que se adapta ao corpo da flauta transversal foi testado, analisado e documentado em publicação de artigo e neste trabalho. Uma análise foi realizada em obras de minha autoria no intuito de visualizar a aplicação dos conceitos selecionados e sua possível aplicação na concepção musical. A obra Requíem para os pássaros mortos em abril foi concebida sob a ótica dos conceitos de exotopia, responsabilidade e acabamento, tendo como fio condutor o número 9 que, na numerologia Pitagórica, é tido como o número dos iniciados. A obra está estruturada em 9 partes, e utiliza-se da obra literária espírita Pássaros mortos em abril para nomear cada uma delas, o que se configura como um movimento cronoexotópico. A obra busca, ainda, em outras obras importantes, motivos para sua enunciação. Essa rememoração, além de tornar a obra uma reenunciação responsável, por meio da apreensão analítica e apreciação/acabamento, mostra um trânsito de ir ao lugar do outro e o retorno ao lugar do eu único e insubstituível. Conclui-se, então, que o texto musical dialógico Requíem para os pássaros mortos em abril apresenta características exotópicas responsáveis e acabamento analítico/apreciativo em sua concepção. Considera-se um texto dialógico na perspectiva bakhtiniana, pois as vozes do autor-criador; autorhomem, autor-pesquisador e autor pesquisado, constituem um diálogo que traz em seu bojo ainda, as vozes de autores outros. / The recorder disappeared from the music scene and, was later, brought back to life. Disseminated through education, it became popular and gained the status of professional instrument. Currently, its massive usage causes its reception to be filled with prejudice and discredit. It is necessary to broaden its repertoire so that the current musical practices are contemplated. In this perspective, this research aims to collaborate to the expansion of the repertoire of contemporary music for recorders, conceiving a piece for recorder and orchestra, using its expanded techniques and applying the concepts of exotopy, responsibility and finishing process of the Russian thinker and humanist Mikhail Bakhtin. Throughout the studies, a mouthpiece of the recorder which fits the body of the flute has been tested, analyzed and documented in an article publication and in this work. An analysis was performed in the works of my own in order to view the application of the selected concepts and their possible application in musical conception. The work Requiem for the birds killed in April was conceived under the perspective of the concepts of exotopy, responsibility and finishing process, having as thread the number 9 that, in Pythagorean numerology, is considered the number of the initiates. The piece is divided into 9 parts, and uses the spiritist literary work Birds killed in April to name each of them, which is configured as a cronoexotopic movement. The piece also takes elements from other important works as a motive for its enunciation. This recollection, besides turning the piece into a responsible re-enunciation, through analytical apprehension and appreciation/finish process, shows a transit of going to the place of the other and returning to the place of the unique and irreplaceable I. Then it is concluded that the dialogical musical text Requiem for the birds killed in April presents characteristics which are exotopical and responsible, and analytical/appreciative finishing process in its conception. It is considered a dialogic text under Bakhtin's perspective, because the voices of the author-creator, author-man, author-researcher and author researched, make up a dialogue that brings with it also, the voices of other authors.

Requiem for Netted Fish is an intermedia composition for sixteen-voice SATB choir, harp, six dancers, slide projections, and lighting. The text, taken from the poetry of Anna Akhmatova and Carolyn Forche, presents a universal, womanly rage against human repression and destruction. The poetry finds aural interpretation in sound, and visual interpretation in movement and lighting. Poetic inspiration contributes to the integration of elements in the work, as does the impulse-exchange method of coordinating mediums, which allows the dancers control of the timing of events. The resultant interdependent relationships necessary for performance contribute to the integration of the composition. The duration of this intermedia work is approximately fifteen minutes.

Hymnus Paradisi (1938), a large-scale choral and orchestral work, is well-known as an elegiac masterpiece written by Herbert Howells in response to the sudden loss of his young son in 1935. The composition of this work, as noted by the composer himself and those close to him, successfully served as a means of working through his grief during the difficult years that followed Michael's death. In this dissertation, I provide linear analyses for Howells' Hymnus Paradisi as well as its predecessor, Howells' Requiem (1932), which was adapted and greatly expanded in the creation of Hymnus Paradisi. These analyses and accompanying explanations are intended to provide insight into the intricate contrapuntal style in which Howells writes, showing that an often complex musical surface is underpinned by traditional linear and harmonic patterns on the deeper structural levels. In addition to examining the middleground and background structural levels within each movement, I also demonstrate how Howells creates large-scale musical continuity and shapes the overall composition through the use of large-scale linear connections, shown through the meta-Ursatz (an Ursatz which extends across multiple movements creating multi-movement unity). Finally, in my interpretation of these analyses, I discuss specific motives in Hymnus Paradisi which, I hypothesize, musically represent the crisis of Michael's death. These motives are initially introduced in the "Preludio," composed out on multiple structural levels as Hymnus Paradisi unfolds, and, finally, I argue, are transformed as a representation of the process of healing, and ultimately, catharsis.

The thesis speculates on the possible influence of Mozart's Requiem on Cherubini's Requiem in D Minor, concluding that Cherubini's setting of the Sequence ("Dies irae") was indeed influenced by Mozart's setting of this liturgical text both on the micro and macro levels.
