This study provides background information, International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions and pronunciations, poetic translations, and pedagogical analyses of ten Francesco Paolo Tosti songs. Included is the connection between the rhythm and meter of the poetry and its’ influence on Tosti’s setting of the text to music. In addition, a portion is devoted to an overview of pedagogy, specifically, appoggio, registers and passaggi in the lyric tenor voice, range and, as well as chiaroscuro. This document addresses potential vocal challenges presented for the lyric tenor voice within each song, as well as the benefits. In particular, suggestions for vowel modifications in the passaggi of the lyric tenor voice in relationship with the provided IPA transcription are addressed. Finally, by gathering all of the necessary information on Aprile, Non t’amo più, Luna d’estate, Preghiera, La serenata, Ideale, A vucchella, In van preghi, L’alba sepàra dalla luce l’ombra, and L’ultima canzone, this performance guide creates a concise tool for teachers and singers in the vocal studio seeking ideal performance practice suggestions.

Outfacing the Storm is a song cycle that tells the story of the spectacular failure-turned-triumph of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Expedition was an attempt to trek overland across the whole of the Antarctic continent. Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, launched from England in August of 1914 with twenty-eight men. Within weeks of entering the polar latitudes, ice ensnared the ship. The Endurance remained stuck fast until the spring breakup crushed its hull, and it sank in November of 1915. The crew struck out for civilization, and, after six months and over one thousand miles of travel by foot, by ice-drift, and by lifeboat, they returned home alive. The Expedition’s safe return was heavily credited by its crew to Shackleton himself. A man of intense character, burning passion, and unfailing determination, Shackleton put the needs of his crew ahead of all else. His individual dedication to each member of the voyage was an inspiration to each. Ernest Shackleton, however, was a private man. He hid his own concerns from all except those closest to him. During the Expedition, he feared for the well-being of the crew. In the largest sense, he feared failure. Shackleton was only ever content while at sea. “Sometimes,” he wrote to his wife, “I think I am no good at anything but being away in the wilds… I grow restless and feel any part of youth is slipping away from me and that nothing matters… I feel I am no use to anyone unless I am outfacing the storm in wild lands.” This song cycle tells the tale of the Expedition through Shackleton’s eyes. The cycle is in eleven movements—nine recounting the story, plus a prologue and epilogue. All of the text is Shackleton’s own. The nine middle movements are taken from Shackleton’s memoir about the voyage, South. The prologue and epilogue are taken, respectively, from an interview and the above letter. / Music, Butler School of / text

Doctor of Philosophy / This thesis is concerned with the realm of the interpersonal: broadly, those linguistic phenomena involved in the negotiation of social relations and the expression of personal attitudes and feelings. The initial contention is that this realm has been consistently marginalised not only within linguistic theory, but more broadly within western culture, for cultural and ideological reasons whose implications extend into the bases of classical linguistic theory. Chapter 1 spells out the grounds for this contention and is followed by two further chapters, constituting Part I: Language and Social Relations. Chapter 2 identifies and critiques the range of ways in which the interpersonal has been conventionally interpreted: as style, as formality, as politeness, as power and solidarity, as the expressive, etc. This chapter concludes with an argument for the need for a stratified model of language in order to deal adequately with these phenomena. Chapter 3 proposes such a model, based on the systemic-functional approach to language as social semiotic. The register category tenor within this model is extended to provide a model of social relations as a semiotic system. The basis for the identification of the three tenor dimensions, power, distance and affect, is the identification of three modes of deployment or realisation of the interpersonal resources of English in everyday discourse: reciprocity, proliferation and amplification. Parts II and III turn their attention to one significant issue in the negotiation of social relations: address. The focus is explicitly on Australian English, but there is considerable evidence that most if not all of the forms discussed in Part II occur in other varieties of English, especially British and American, and that some at least of the practices discussed in Part III involve the same patterns of social relations with respect to the tenor dimensions of power, distance and affect. Because most varieties of contemporary English do not have a set of options for second-person pronominal address, as is the case in many of the world's languages, English speakers use names and other nominal forms which need to be described. Part II is descriptive in orientation, providing an account of the grammar of VOCATION in English, including a detailed description of the nominal forms used. Chapter 4 investigates the identification and functions of vocatives, and includes empirical investigations of vocative position in clauses and vocative incidence in relation to speech function or speech act choices. Chapter 5 presents an account of the grammar of English name forms, organised as a paradigmatic system. This chapter incorporates an account of the processes used to produce the various name-forms used in address, including truncation, reduplication and suffixation. Chapter 6 consists of an account of non-name forms of address, organised in terms of the systemic-functional account of nominal group structure. This chapter deals with single-word non-name forms of address and the range of nominal group structures used particularly to communicate attitude, both positive and negative. Part III is ethnographic in orientation. It describes some aspects of the use of the forms described in Part II in contemporary address practice in Australia and interprets such practice using the model of social relations as semiotic system presented in Part I. The major focuses of attention is on address practice in relation to the negotiation of gender relations, with some comment on generational relations of adults with children, on class relations and on ethnic relations in nation with a diverse population officially committed to a policy of a multiculturalism. Part III functions simultaneously as a coda for this thesis, and a prologue for the kind of ethnographic study that the project was originally intended to be, but which could not be conducted in the absence of an adequate linguistically-based model of social relations and an adequate description of the resources available for address in English.

Sunflower crop has some important agronomic characteristics, as great fitomassa production, larger resistance to the drought, cold and heat than most of the cultivated species and wide adaptability to different conditions of soil and climates. Its deep root system provides absorption of nutrients of the deepest layers, ciclying great amounts of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). The area cultivated with sunflower had great expansion in the last years in Paraguay, but still does not have a recommendation for N, P and K for the producers regions. The objective of this work was to elaborate a first recommendation of fertilizers for sunflower under no-till system in Paraguay, establishing critical tenors for P and K in the soil in different textural classes, seeking to add sunflower crop as an option, inside of a system of fertilizing the soil for crops in succession, under system direct planting in Paraguay. Experiments were carried out in the departments Misiones and Itapúa in the harvest 2006/2007. For determination of the chemical attributes ten sub-samples were made, composing one soil sample per plot, collected in the depth of 0-0,10 m. Were determined the plants answer (relative productivity) to the doses of maximum economical efficiency (MEE), the critical tenor in the soil for P and K (determined by Mehlich 1 analysis method). The experimental design was random blocks with four repetitions. The treatments consisted of doses of N (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125) kg ha-1, using urea as N source, doses of P (0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200) kg ha-1 of P2O5 (triple superphosphate), doses of K (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150) kg ha-1 of K2O (potassium chloride). The elements that were not in study were supplied appropriately in each treatment. The P critical tenor for Itapúa was 14.4 mg dm-3 and for Misiones was of 15.5 mg dm-3. For K the critical tenor found for sunflower crop was 81.5 mg dm-3. These critical tenors were similar to the obtained for soybean, corn and wheat crops in the region. The fertilization recommendations were elaborated for expectation of 2000 kg ha-1 of grains. For soils with smaller tenor than 2% of organic matter are recommended 60 kg ha-1 of N, between 2 and 3% 45 kg ha-1 of N and larger than 3% 30 kg ha-1 of N. Para P fertilization in the respective classes of P fertility that are "very low", "low", "medium", "high" and "very high", they correspond the application of 90, 70, 50, 35 and 20 kg ha-1 of P205 and the recommendations K fertilization are 120, 90, 60, 45 and 30 kg ha-1 of K2O, respectively for the same classes of fertility of very low to very high. / A cultura do girassol possui características agronômicas importantes, como alta produção de fitomassa e elevada resistência à seca, frio e calor em relação a maioria das culturas anuais, além de ampla adaptabilidade às diferentes condições edafoclimáticas. Seu sistema radicular profundo proporciona absorção de nutrientes das camadas mais profundas, ciclando grandes quantidades de nitrogênio (N), fósforo (P) e potássio (K). A área cultivada com girassol teve grande expansão nos últimos anos no Paraguai, mas ainda não se tem uma recomendação de adubação em N, P e K para a cultura nas regiões produtoras. O objetivo deste trabalho foi elaborar uma primeira recomendação de fertilizantes para girassol sob sistema plantio direto no Paraguai, estabelecendo teores críticos para P e K no solo em diferentes classes texturais, visando inserir esta cultura como opção, dentro de um sistema de adubação do solo para culturas de grãos em rotação, sob sistema plantio direto no Paraguai. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos nos departamentos de Misiones e Itapúa na safra 2006/2007,. Para determinação dos atributos químicos foram efetuadas dez sub-amostras, compondo numa amostra de solo por parcela, coletadas na profundidade de 0-0,10 m. Determinou-se a resposta das plantas (rendimento relativo) às doses de máxima eficiência econômica (MEE), o teor crítico no solo para fósforo e potássio (determinado pelo método de análise Mehlich 1). O esquema experimental foi de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos constaram de doses de N (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125) kg ha-1, sendo sua fonte a uréia, doses de P (0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200) kg ha-1 de P2O5 ( superfosfato triplo), doses de K (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150) kg ha-1 de K2O (cloreto de potássio). Os elementos que não estavam em estudo foram supridos adequadamente em cada tratamento. O teor crítico de P para Itapúa foi de 14,4 mg dm-3 e para Misiones foi de 15,5 mg dm-3. Para K o teor crítico encontrado na cultura de girassol foi de 81,5 mg dm-3 . Estes teores críticos foram semelhantes aos obtidos para as culturas de soja, milho e trigo na região. As recomendações de adubação foram elaboradas para expectativa de 2000 kg ha-1 de grãos, para solos com teor menor que 2 % de matéria orgânica recomenda-se 60 kg ha-1 de N, entre 2 e 3 % 45 kg ha-1 de N e maior que 3 % 30 kg ha-1 de N. Para adubação fosfatada nas respectivas classes de fertilidade de P que são muito baixo , baixo , médio , alto e muito alto , correspondem a aplicação de 90, 70, 50, 35 e 20 kg ha-1 de P205 e as recomendações de adubação potássica são 120, 90, 60, 45 e 30 kg ha-1 de K2O, respectivamente para as mesmas classes de fertilidade de muito baixo até muito alto.
