Thesis (D.M.A.)--University of North Texas, 2002. / Accompanied by 4 recitals, recorded Mar. 8, 1999, Apr. 10, 2000, Nov. 30, 2001, amd Sept. 20, 2002. Includes bibliographical references (p. 57-59).

The scope of this study includes relevant background information on Peter Schat and his compositions and process, an explanation of the Tone Clock system and a detailed analysis of one of his compositions, the Etudes for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 39. The intent is to demonstrate how the Tone Clock naturally evolved from the practices of the Second Viennese School and how it relates to both new and existing modern music. The study is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 presents a brief introduction to Peter Schat and the Tone Clock. Chapter 2 provides a more detailed biography of Peter Schat and traces the development and evolution of his compositional techniques, ultimately culminating in the Tone Clock. Chapter 3 provides a basic explanation of the Tone Clock itself, with demonstrations of various components through musical examples and illustrations. Chapter 4 is a detailed analysis of the Etudes for Piano and Orchestra, Opus. 39. Chapter 5 summarizes the results of the study, with special attention to the impact of the Tone Clock on performance from the perspective of the performer. The analysis of the Etudes was completed by using the Tone Clock as an analytical tool, aided by the composer's original manuscript and sketches for the work. The goal of the study is to establish the value of the Tone Clock as both a compositional and analytical tool.

Por estar situada na Linguística Aplicada, devido a seu caráter interdisciplinar, e por fazer parte do grupo Linguagem, Línguas, Educação e Escola (LIGUE), a pesquisa assume a perspectiva da Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural (TASCH), que focaliza o estudo das atividades em que os sujeitos estão em interação com outros em contextos culturais determinados e historicamente dependentes. (LIBERALI, 2009). Situado sócio-historicamente no momento de internacionalização universitária atual, o material didático elaborado tem como objetivo expandir os conhecimentos em língua inglesa; e, além disso, trazer para a sala de aula a possibilidade de o aluno ter uma visão multicultural por meio da performance, da observação e do contraste de situações típicas da vida universitária em diferentes culturas dentro da atividade social programa de intercâmbio universitário. Nesse cenário, a organização argumentativa tem papel determinante no desenvolvimento da capacidade de formular e defender pontos de vista, pois o diálogo entre eles (LEITÃO, 2011) confronta os indivíduos com múltiplas perspectivas acerca de um tópico, possibilitando-lhes, portanto, exame, compreensão e apropriação de uma multiplicidade de posições sobre um mesmo tema. A Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração -PCCOL, (MAGALHÃES,\2007) foi adotada como metodologia por permitir que todos os seus sujeitos tenham participação ativa na construção do conhecimento, criando, modificando e ampliando as possibilidades de trabalho. Na análise e discussão dos dados, foram considerados conceitos inerentes à TASCH, aspectos enunciativos, discursivos e linguístico-discursivos, conforme proposto em Liberali (2009), além de consonância com as vozes teóricas escolhidas. O resultado mostra o papel do material didático, elaborado pela professora-pesquisadora, na conscientização do aluno como sujeito que faz escolhas. / This research aims at developing didactic material and using them in an English language extension course classroom at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). As situated within the Applied Linguistics field, due to its interdisciplinary nature, and as part of the Language, Languages, School and Teaching-Learning (LIGUE) study group, this research assumes the perspective of the Socio-Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (SCHAT), which focuses on the study of activities in which the subjects interact with others in determined and historically dependent cultural contexts. (LIBERALI, 2009). Sociohistorically situated in the current moment of university internationalization, the especially designed didactic material has the purpose of improving students’ English language skills; and, in addition, bringing to the classroom the opportunity for the student to have a multicultural point of view by observing, contrasting and performing ordinary university-life situations in different cultures within the social activity University Exchange Program. In this scenario, the argumentative arrangement has an important role in developing the ability to formulate and support points of view, once the dialogue among them (LEITÃO, 2011) exposes individuals to different perspectives regarding a given topic, enabling them, therefore, to exam, comprehend, and appropriate a multiplicity of perspectives concerning the same theme. The Critical Collaboration Research Methodology (PCCOL) (MAGALHÃES, 2007) was adopted in this study once it allows every subject to have an active role in building knowledge, by creating, modifying, and broadening working possibilities. When analyzing and discussing the data, some concepts inherent to SCHAT, enunciative, discursive, and linguistic-discursive criteria proposed by Liberali (2009), were taken into consideration, in addition to conformity with the theoretical voices selected. The result shows the role of didactic material, designed by the researcher, in building students’ critical thinking skills, enabling them to make choices.

Tendo como pilar teórico a Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural (TASHC) (VYGOTSKY, 1934/2007; LEONTIEV, 1977/1997; ENGESTRÖM, 1987/1999), um lócus em que reflexão, desejo e ação estão ligados ao devir de si mesmo, do outro e da sociedade por meio de práticas sociais, a pesquisa busca oferecer à universidade focal uma possibilidade de revisão do papel da língua inglesa nas áreas, a fim de adequar o objeto de ensino-aprendizagem às necessidades discentes. Este estudo está inserido na perspectiva da Linguística Aplicada (LA) por ser um estudo da linguagem em um contexto acadêmico que promove mudanças de papéis sociais. No caso do professor-pesquisador, ao adquirir uma maior consciência crítica da sua prática, poderá desconstruir ações automatizadas e reconstruí-las na certeza de que nenhuma prática acadêmica é imutável. Já os alunos, têm a oportunidade de consolidar a agentividade na aprendizagem universitária. A pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração como uma abordagem ativista e intervencionista embasa o trabalho. O material didático elaborado pela pesquisadora e a produção discente serão analisados à luz das categorias enunciativas, discursivas e linguísticas (LIBERALI, 2013). A análise e a discussão dos dados sugerem que, através do trabalho com Atividades Sociais, a universidade cria um espaço para o aluno perceber que o conhecimento vai além dos muros da Academia e o aprender é desejo de mudar realidades possíveis. A refundação de conceitos e pontos de vista diversos abre caminho para uma professorapesquisadora diferente, inacabada, em constante processo de transformação, mas consciente da sua responsabilidade social e com o desejo de transformar realidades possíveis, de fazer a diferença e promover mudanças / This Project aims at reflecting critically upon a teaching proposal at a federal university in the northeast of Brazil in the subject “English for Computer Studies by discussing the making up, implementation and evaluation of a teaching material which focuses on the participation in international academic events. Embedded in the Social- Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (SCHAT) (VYGOTSKY, 1934/2007; LEONTIEV, 1977/1997; ENGESTRÖM, 1987/1999), a locus in which reflection, desire and action are related to oneself, others and society by means of social practices. The research has the objective of providing the university with a possibility to revise the role of the English language in different courses so as to link the teaching/learning object to learners’ needs. This research is under the perspective of Applied Linguistics (LA) for this is a study of language in the Academic realm that promotes changes in the social roles. Regarding the teacher/researcher, having a critical view of his academic practice can help him/her deconstruct automatized actions to reconstruct them later bearing in mind that no academic practice is changeless. As for the students, they have the opportunity to strengthen the agentivity in the academic context. The project is based on the Critical Collaborative Research (CCR). The didactic material designed by the researcher as well as students’ production have been analysed according to enunciative, discursive and linguistic categories (LIBERALI, 2013). Data analysis suggested that working on Social activities the university helps students understand that learning can take place beyond the classroom walls. Learning is connected to the desire to transform possible realities. The refunding of concepts and points of view opens the way to a new teacher, a professional in an unceasing process of transformation but still aware of her social responsibility and eager to transform reality and promote changes

Dutch composer Peter Schat’s (1935-2003) pursuit of a compositional system that could generate and preserve intervallic relationships, while allowing the composer as much flexibility as possible to manipulate musical material, led him to develop the tone-clock system. Fundamentally comprised of the twelve possible trichords, the tone clock permits each to generate a complete twelve-tone series through the “steering” principle, a concept traced to Boulez’s technique of pitch-class set multiplication. This study serves as an overview of Schat’s tone-clock system and focuses primarily on the effects of the steering function in “Genen” (2000). Furthermore, I expand on the tone-clock system by combining transformational theory with Julian Hook’s uniform triadic transformations and my proposed STEER and STEERS functions, which express the procedures of the steering principle as a mathematical formula. Using a series of transformational networks, I illustrate the unifying effect steering has on different structural levels in “Genen,” a post-tonal composition.
