Compositor inato e intuitivo, João do Vale, determinado a se fazer ouvir e ser conhecido como tal, acabou conseguindo conquistar o interesse dos compositores e cantores da Música Popular Brasileira e o gosto do público desse gênero de música. Com a insurgência da ditadura militar em 1964, a essencialidade do caráter de denúncia de suas canções levou um grupo de intelectuais e artistas do Rio de Janeiro, que decidiu articular ações artístico-culturais de protesto e resistência ao autoritarismo instalado, a interessar-se pelas mesmas. Como decorrência desses procedimentos, surgiu o Show Opinião, do qual João do Vale foi um dos principais personagens ao lado de Zé Kéti, Nara Leão e depois Maria Bethânia. Neste show, que durou quase um ano (dezembro de 1964 a agosto de 1965), João do Vale, interpretando algumas de suas principais canções, com destaque para Carcará, consagrou-se como um dos grandes compositores da nossa MPB. Detendo-nos num conjunto das suas mais significativas canções, percebemos um intricado vínculo entre as mesmas e o contexto social nordestino e brasileiro de um modo geral. Trata-se, na verdade, de uma profunda inter-relação entre o compositor, sua obra musical e seu meio sócio-cultural, sendo este o lugar por excelência da motivação criadora e da recepção. Desse modo, podemos constatar que o cancioneiro de João do Vale é obra musical que se fez uma autêntica voz de denúncia, de defesa e de resistência contra as injustiças sociais vividas pelo povo daquele lugar. / João do Vale, an illiterate simple black man from a numerous family, originally from Pedreiras a small and poor village in Maranhão (a Northeastern state in Brazil) while still in adolescence but already outraged at the poverty situation and the injustice he faced, after wondering throughout the Northeast of Brazil, since 1953 has settled down in Rio de Janeiro one of the greatest shelters for the emigrants from that place. As an innate and intuitive composer, João do Vale, determined to be heard and recognized as such, ended up by gaining the interest of the composers and singers of Brazilian Popular Music as well as the public who appreciates this genre of music. With the uprising of the military dictatorship in 1964, the essence of the social criticism nature in his songs led a group of intellectuals and artists from Rio de Janeiro - who decided to articulate artistic and cultural actions protesting against and resisting to the instituted authoritarianism - to become interested in them. Show Opinião arose out of this process and it lasted almost a year (from December, 1964 to August, 1965). João do Vale, who was one of its main characters, together with Zé Kéti, Nara Leão and later on Maria Bethânia, by performing a few of his main songs - highlighting Carcará became one of the best Brazilian popular music composers. Considering a set of his most significant songs, we notice an intricate link between them and the social environment of the Northeastern man and the Brazilian man in general. In fact, it is a question of a deep inter-relationship among the composer, its musical work and its socio-cultural environment, being the latter by excellence the origin of his creative motivation and receptivity. Therefore, we can ascertain that João do Vale s songbook is a musical work which made itself an authentic voice of social criticism, of defense against and of resistance to the social injustice suffered by the people.

The AIDS Quilt Songbook was a musical response to the shame surrounding the outbreak of the HIV virus and was one of the first art song publications to deal with the topic of HIV and AIDS. This DMA thesis documents the significance and history of the AIDS Quilt Songbook, traces the progression of the project up until December 1, 2008, and documents the work, experiences, and words of the composers who have been inspired to contribute to the AIDS Quilt Songbook Project. In 1981, the medical and popular press reported the first cases of a quickly spreading virus among homosexual males. This virus is currently diagnosed as HIV and AIDS. Lack of funding consumed the early years of what grew to become a national pandemic. The artistic community was one of the major catalysts for funding and education. Cleave Jones and other gay rights activists developed the NAMES Project as a memoriam for those lost to the pandemic. The AIDS Quilt Songbook was created to parallel the AIDS Quilt as "a never-ending work whose meaning and spirit is renewed and redefined with every addition." This concept of additions has continued the expansion of the AIDS Quilt Songbook Project from 1993 to the additions premiered on December 1, 2008 (World AIDS Day) at The Court Theater in Chicago, Illinois, entitled the "Chicago AIDS Quilt Songbook: A Benefit for Season of Concern." The AIDS Quilt Songbook project has sixty-seven documented additions, but only eighteen of the sixty-seven additions are collected. This thesis examines the events, compositions and experiences of the composers: Chris DeBlasio, Ricky Ian Gordon, Daniel Kallman, Cary John Franklin, and Evan Kuchar, who submitted compositions to the AIDS Quilt Songbook between 1991 and 2008. The compositions examined are: Walt Whitman in 1989 by DeBlasio, I Never Knew by Gordon, When I am dead, my dearest by Kallman, As Imperceptibly as Grief by Franklin, and Death Spiral by Kuchar.

María Grever (1885-1951) overcame racism and gender bias during a pivotal era in American music history to become the first commercially successful Mexican female composer and more specifically, a pioneer of popular music during the first half of the 20th century. Though named the "Madonna of song," her legacy is largely overshadowed by other compositional giants of the era, such as the Gershwin brothers, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. Grever's music is sophisticated, heartfelt, and worthy of attention. Her colorful, genuine music adds distinctiveness and variety to recital programs. Grever's songs offer a high level of musical integrity and socio-cultural value. Incorporating her compositions into a singer's vocal repertoire is an excellent way to broaden the scope of styles and languages while maintaining the highest standards of musical study. The following document considers the importance of performing and studying Grever's music by analyzing nine songs representing three compositional periods. I evaluated the songs considering pedagogical benefit, performance value, and significance to her overall oeuvre.

In the first few decades of the seventeenth century countless songbooks were published in Italy, more than 300 of which included the notation system for guitar accompaniment known as alfabeto. This early repertoire for the five-course Spanish guitar was printed mostly in Naples, Rome, and Florence, and was a pivotal precursor to our modern tonal musical understanding. The very nature of both the instrument and its characteristic dance-song accompaniment style led composers to create block harmonies in diatonic progressions long before such concepts bore any semblance to a functioning theory. This paper uses the 1620 publication Arie a una voce by Roman composer Stefano Landi as a case study through which to examine the important roles that both alfabeto and the guitar played in the development of monody. The ongoing debates over the practicality, authorship, and interpretation of alfabeto notation are all addressed in reference to the six pieces marked “per la chitara Spag.” found near the end of Landi's first songbook. This will provide an understanding of the alfabeto notation system as well as the role of the guitar in the rise of monody, provide more specific answers concerning the viability of accompanying these specific songs on the guitar, and provide a means for constructing an informed interpretation and recording of these examples of a long-overlooked repertoire.

Syftet med den här studien är att analysera vilka initiala och operationella normer som har använts vid översättningar till tyska av sångboksuppslag till visor skrivna av Astrid Lindgren. Modellerna som har använts är hämtade från Franzon (2009), Franzon (2016) och van Meerbergen (2010). Frågeställningarna berör musikalisk rytm, retoriska stilmedel inom texterna samt interaktionsgraden i text och bild med läsaren. Syftet är även att se hur aktiva respektive passiva huvudpersonerna i böckerna är. Resultaten visar att översättningarna av beskrivande visor med långa verser tenderar att bli kortare och mycket förändrade i jämförelse med översättningarna av visor med korta verser och en mindre beskrivande natur. Interaktionsgraden med läsaren är för det mesta låg i både text och bild i käll- och måltexterna. Huvudpersonerna i de tyska översättningarna är även mer aktiva i det tyska översättningarna än i de svenska originalen. / The aim of this study is to analyse which initial and operational norms that were used in the German translation of pages from a songbook written by Astrid Lindgren. The models that are used are taken from Franzon (2009), Franzon (2016) and van Meerbergen (2010). The research questions concern musical rhythm, rhetorical methods within the text, the interaction level between images and text and the reader. The purpose is also to see how active or passive the main characters in the books are portrayed. The results show that translations of describing songs with long verses tend to become shorter and very changed compared to translations of songs with short verses and with a less describing nature. The interaction level with the reader is mostly low in both source and target texts and images. The main characters are also more active in the German translations than in the Swedish originals.

The theme of my thesis is the patriotic pedagogue Josef Věnceslav Soukup (1819-1882) whose life was full of feverish activity in the educational system. Moreover he was a prolific author of textbooks (one of his famous is The Technological Natural History) and musical works - we can mention his Wreath of fine songs which includes the song Wayfarer that is known for today. In music he paid attention to carols and Christmas songs and plays as well (the most famous is The Young Shephers of Bethlehem). J. V. Soukup excelled in almost every field, not only in pedagogy and music but also in drawing (he even taught Mikoláš Aleš, the well-known Czech painter), chemistry, technology and cultivation of plants. Moreover he contributed to many pedagogical magazines. The beginnins of his teacher's career were not easy, he strained for an appropriate position and during that time he had hardly anything to eat. He gave private lessons for food and played in pubs with the band of musicians to earn some money. However, as really hardworking and diligent student he got stipendium and thus he had not have any financial problems since that time. He knew K. S. Amerling (a great pedagogue who participated in the efforts of a higher girls' education) whose lectures he attended and was influenced by his philosophy. Josef Věnceslav...
