Riccardo Formosa has been identified as being an important and widely recognised young Australian composer. Formosa's possession of a sophisticated composition technique is central to his approach to composition and to his reputation among contemporary composers. Vertigo: Riccardo Formosa's Composition Technique aims to define the composition technique employed by Formosa. It does so by analysing the works from a number of clearly defined perspectives. The study proceeds firstly through a description of the works as a whole and their relationship to the composer’s personal history. Secondly, the note-to-note operations Formosa has employed are reassembled through a detailed examination of the scores. Thirdly, an assessment is made of the function of the various techniques within the musical texture. Lastly, a number of comparisons are made between Formosa’s work and the work of his compositional models. The study concludes that Formosa’s works show evidence of a composition technique operating effectively on different levels. The note-to-note processes, simple in themselves, are multiplied to form a complex counterpoint. On both the note-to-note level and the relationship between larger sections of the works, the controlling factor was found to be one of ‘binary expression’ in the form of symmetry or complementarity, a compositional aesthetic also held by Formosa's teacher.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Odete_tasca.pdf: 1034676 bytes, checksum: 3f0a97aa63b7eba17e118ca90565f20b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-03-14 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / ABSTRACT: This article presents an analysis of the trilogy The Mill on the Po (1957), by Riccardo Bacchelli, a piece of work that portrays the complex story of a family of millers, which is seen in three successive generations. The novels include events of a whole century of history: from the period of Napoleon s defeat in Russia (1812) until the First World War (1918), and it depicts the banditry and the first social conflicts that occurred in the context of the struggle for Resurgence and Unification of Italy. In the perspective of the comparative studies and based upon reflections of writers such as Coutinho and Carvalhal (1994), Georg Lukacs (2011), Celia Fernández Prieto (2003), among others, a confrontation between the three novels that form the Bacchellian trilogy is established to compare the discourse of fiction with the discourse of History. This is done to acknowledge how the History of Italy dialogues with the fiction presented in the novel. It is also the objective of this research,through the use of some specific fragments of the novel, to analyze the poetic literary discourse in the rereading of the story, making sure the way the first one fictionalizes the official story and toshow how the popular masses begin to realize that they are the engine history. About the history of Italy s constitution, the novel also portrays the search for a national identity in this context. We notice, therefore, how Bacchelli s writing poeticizes the History through the use of a polysemic and metaphorical language, emphasizing also the question of religious discourse, making the reader notice, beyond the historical episode, a religious vision in the narrative, originated from popular traditions and legends. After some analysis of the characters relationship through life adversities, it is possible to comprehend that the human beings in Bacchelli s vision are temporal and historical beings. They are subjects of the flow of History and its irresistible force, but at the same time, through the matter that the History offers them, they have to build up their lives and confront their eternal destiny, for what they are also responsible. There is, consequently, a representation of human life in Bacchelli s writing between the material events of the human existence and the direction that is set beyond History / RESUMO: Este trabalho apresenta uma leitura da trilogia Il mulino del Po (1957), de Riccardo Bacchelli, obra que retrata a complexa história de uma família de moleiros, vista em três gerações sucessivas, abrangendo um século de história: o período que vai desde a derrota de Napoleão na Rússia (1812) até a Primeira Guerra Mundial (1918). Retrata o banditismo e os primeiros conflitos sociais que se deram no contexto da luta pelo Ressurgimento e Unificação da Itália. Na perspectiva dos estudos comparados, a partir das reflexões de Coutinho e Carvalhal (1994), Georg Lukács (2011), Celia Fernández Prieto (2003), entre outros, estabelecese um confronto entre os três romances que compõem a trilogia bacchelliana, a fim de comparar o discurso da ficção com o discurso da história, para verificar como a história da Itália dialoga com a ficção no romance. É objetivo também dessa pesquisa, a partir de fragmentos do romance, analisar a poeticidade do discurso literário na releitura da história, verificando de que modo aquele ficcionaliza a história oficial e mostra como as massas populares começam a se dar conta de que elas são o motor da história. Ao tratar da história da constituição da Itália, a obra também retrata a busca por uma identidade nacional neste contexto. Percebese, portanto, que Bacchelli trata os eventos históricos a partir de uma linguagem polissêmica e metafórica, dando ênfase também à questão do discurso religioso, fazendo com que o leitor perceba, além do episódio histórico, uma visão religiosa na narrativa, originada de tradições e lendas populares. Após algumas análises sobre a relação das personagens com as adversidades da vida, percebese que os seres humanos, na visão de Bacchelli, como seres temporais e históricos, estão sujeitos ao fluxo da história e à sua força irresistível, mas ao mesmo tempo, por meio da matéria que a história lhes oferece, eles têm que construir suas vidas e confrontarse com seus destinos eternos, dos quais também são responsáveis. Temse, portanto, uma representação da vida humana entre os acontecimentos materiais da existência e o sentido que se coloca para além da história.

La thèse se propose de vérifier la présence du saxophone dans le répertoire français et italien pour orchestre de la première moitié du XXème siècle, avec le but de confirmer la possibilité d’intégrer le saxophone à l’orchestre de façon permanente.Le choix d’étudier le répertoire pour saxophone dans l’orchestre en France et en Italie des premières décennies du XXème siècle a été fait car cet instrument, créé par Adolphe Sax, facteur d’instrument d’origine belge, a sa première diffusion sur le territoire français pendant la seconde moitié du XIXème siècle, avant de « s’expatrier » dans d’autres pays. C’est à la France donc de vanter les premières compositions pour le saxophone, et c’est au XXème siècle que cette production augmente considérablement. La France, avec son goût pour la couleur du timbre des instruments, influence l’Italie d’une façon particulière, pays où cet instrument est déjà présent au milieu du XIXème siècle, aussi grâce aux appréciations de Gioachino Rossini (qui à l’époque est à Paris), qui poussent le Lycée Musical de Bologna à acheter les produits de la maison Sax. La thèse est subdivisée en trois parties : la première, d’empreinte théorique, dédiée à la présence du saxophone dans les traités d’instrumentation et d’orchestration français et italiens, ainsi que d’autres pays des XIXe et XXe siècle ; la seconde, de caractère illustratif, dans laquelle on analyse les partitions de trois compositeurs français (Ravel, Honegger et Ibert) ; la troisième, toujours de nature illustratif, dédiée à l’étude des compositions de deux auteurs italiens (Marinuzzi et Zandonai). / The thesis’ purpose is to examine the presence of the saxophone in the French and Italian repertoire for orchestra in the first half of the 20th century, and aims at confirming its possible, permanent inclusion in the orchestra. The decision of investigating the repertory of the saxophone in the orchestra in France and Italy in the first decades of the 20th century was made because this instrument, created by the inventor of plenty of other musical instruments, Adolphe Sax (born in Belgium), spreads out for the first time in France during the second half of the 19th century and then ‘expatriates’ to other countries. It is France that can boast the first compositions for this instrument and it is in the 20th century that its production grows excessively. France, with its taste for the color of the instruments’ timbre, influences especially Italy, where the instrument is already present in the first half of the 19th century, thanks to Gioachino Rossini’s appreciations (who was in Paris at that time), pushing the Liceo Musicale in Bologna to buy the maison Sax’s products. My thesis is divided into three parts: the first, with a theoretical purpose, is dedicated to the presence of the saxophone in instrumentation and orchestration treatises published in France, Italy and other countries in the 19th and in the 20th century. In the second part, of explicative kind, the scores of three French composers (Ravel, Honegger and Ibert) are analyzed. Finally, the third section, of explicative kind as well, is dedicated to the study of some compositions by two Italian authors (Marinuzzi and Zandonai).

[pt] A Escola de Gênova sobre a Interpretação Jurídica, para alguns, ou o Realismo Jurídico Genovês, para outros, é corrente teórica italiana que lança luz sobre uma série de problemas que envolvem a interpretação jurídica; especialmente, aqueles vinculados ao caráter discricionário do intérprete ao interpretar um documento normativo. Este trabalho faz uma reconstrução dos problemas jurídicos interpretativos mais consistentes que geraram as preocupações da Escola, e apresenta as principais reflexões dos autores a ela vinculados. Seus principais fundamentos são: a postura ceticista frente à interpretação jurídica e as decorrências analíticas: separação entre texto e norma e necessidade de despolitização dos juízes. Apresenta-se, neste trabalho, os argumentos principais que marcam um bloco de posições dos autores da Escola, que subsistem às críticas e que marcam o pensamento genovês. São estes: a criação de um modelo meta-teórico e metajusrisprudencial de análise do direito; o clareamento das discussões entre o formalismo jurídico e o ceticismo interpretativo; as críticas ao objetivismo moral; a separação analítica entre texto e norma; a reflexão crítica sobre o modelo tradicional de separação dos poderes e as noções e os conceitos de sistema, decisão, ponderação e discricionariedade como limitações da politização do judiciário. / [en] The Genoa School on Legal Interpretation, for some, or Genoese Legal Realism, for others, is an Italian theoretical current that sheds light on a series of problems involving legal interpretation; especially those linked to the interpreter s discretion when interpreting a normative document. This work reconstructs the most consistent interpretive legal problems that generated the School s concerns, and presents the main reflections of the authors linked to it. Its main foundations are: the skeptical attitude towards legal interpretation and the analytical consequences: separation between text and norm and the need for depoliticization of the judges. In this work, the main arguments that mark a block of positions of the authors of the School, that remain with criticisms and that mark the Genoese thought are presented. These are: the creation of a meta-theoretical and meta-jurisprudential model of law analysis; the clarification of the discussions between legal formalism and interpretive skepticism; criticisms of moral objectivism; the analytical separation between text and standard; critical reflection on the traditional model of separation of powers and the notions and concepts of system, decision, weighting and discretion as limitations of the politicization of the judiciary.

Il lavoro di tesi si svilupperà intorno ai seguenti temi: I. ricostruzione storica dei servizi educativi, dei servizi sociali, con riferimento al quadro legislativo; II. analisi dell’attuale differenziazione delle comunità per minori attraverso la lettura del monitoraggio effettuato dall’Istituto degli Innocenti di Firenze (2009); III. rilettura pedagogica dello strumento di comunità attraverso la valenza formativa del dispositivo; IV. ricerca di un “modello base”: una mappa di possibili principi per consentire una risposta unitaria e convincente all’allontanamento dei minori. / The purpose of this research project is to underline the sense of educative communities for younger people today as a tool suitable for the reception, taking into account all the legislative evolutions in Italy. In this thesis work the attention will be focused on the following topics: I. historical reconstruction of educative services and social services, with a reference to the legislative scenario; II. analysis of the current educative communities differentiation through the analysis of the monitoring realised by the “Institutes of the Innocents” in Florence (2009); III. pedagogical re-reading of the community framework thought the “device”’s formative merit; IV. research on a “base model”: a map of possible principles for a persuasive answer to the younger removals.

As lirico-spinto soprano commonly indicates a soprano with a heavier voice than lyric soprano and a lighter voice than dramatic soprano, there are many problems in the assessment of the voice type. Lirico-spinto soprano is characterized differently by various scholars and sources offer contrasting and insufficient definitions. It is commonly understood as a pushed voice, as many interpret spingere as ‘to push.' This dissertation shows that the meaning of spingere does not mean pushed in this context, but extended, thus making the voice type a hybrid of lyric soprano voice type that has qualities of extended temperament, timbre, color, and volume. This dissertation indicates that the lack of published anthologies on lirico-spinto soprano arias is a significant reason for the insufficient understanding of the lirico-spinto soprano voice. The post-Verdi Italian group of composers, giovane scuola, composed operas that required lirico-spinto soprano voices. These giovane scuola composers include Alfredo Catalani (1854 –1893), Umberto Giordano (1867 –1948), Pietro Mascagni (1863 –1945), Giacomo Puccini (1858 –1924), and Riccardo Zandonai (1883 –1944). Descriptions of the soprano voices that premiered these roles are included in this document to determine the suitability of the lirico-spinto soprano voice for each role.
