Full textAbstract:
While emerging technologies such as interactive multimedia are increasingly being employed in computerised music instruction, understanding of participant music listening behaviours in interactive multimedia music instruction is currently very limited. With the aim of elucidating music listening behaviour, the central concern of this work is to identify and explain participant interactions with the audio components of interactive multimedia music instruction. The investigation employs a novel documentation procedure, which extends the application of digital audio recording technology, to provide a finely calibrated analysis of the audio activity of a sample of 20 undergraduate music education majors during individual sessions with two commercially-available interactive multimedia music instruction programs. Graphically-based Sound Activity Profiles, which the researcher developed specifically for the current investigation, characterise and summarise participant interactions with audio components, while an analysis of questionnaire responses and follow-up interview transcripts provides supplementary information that further explains participants' music listening behaviours. The results of the investigation show that music listening behaviours during the study sessions were highly variable. While extensive participant interaction with music examples occasionally reflected attentive music listening behaviours, many study sessions were characterised by brief, fragmentary music excerpts and lengthy periods of silence. Participants spent as little as five percent of their session time listening to music and as much as 88 percent of the session time in silence. A substantial number of the study cohort frequently interrupted the music examples they had activated. Participants' perceptions of the extent of their interaction with music examples were frequently inaccurate, as subjects often substantially overestimated the amount of session time they had spent listening to music. The study findings suggest that many interactive multimedia music instruction participants would benefit from interventions that elicit more extensive and prolonged interaction with music examples. Accordingly, recommendations include a call for research to develop and test software designs that incorporate automated monitoring of session audio activity so that dynamic on-screen information about music listening behaviour can be provided to interactive multimedia music instruction participants. Such information may encourage participants to modify inappropriate music listening behaviours.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (D.M.A.)--Boston UniversityMusic appreciation courses have become core components of humanities and education curricula, yet scholars have differed on the definitions, approaches, and goals of such courses. Researchers have investigated the efficacy of various pedagogical approaches to teaching music appreciation; some have attempted to measure appreciation and clarify its definition and goals; others have argued that a traditional approach perpetuates a hidden curriculum of social stratification. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an attentive listening-based approach on the music appreciation achievement of college, non-music majors compared to a traditional approach. In this study, indicators of music appreciation included factual knowledge, listening skills, and attitudes. Attitudes were assessed via a Music Attitude Questionnaire, and factual knowledge and listening skills were assessed via a final achievement test. Participants included intact groups of students in two separate classes of a college music appreciation class (N = 110). The researcher taught and tested one class according to a traditional approach, using the textbook Music: An Appreciation (Kamien, 2008) and taught and tested the other class according to an attentive, listening-based approach, utilizing the text Take Note: An Introduction to Music Through Listening (Wallace, in press). Gordon's Advanced Measures of Music Audiation (1989) was administered to all participants at the beginning of the semester. A researcher-designed Music Attitude Questionnaire was administered to all participants as a pretest/posttest and an identical, researcher-designed final achievement test was administered to all participants at the end of the semester. Analysis of variance on participants' final achievement test scores indicated that there was no significant difference between the classes in the areas of factual knowledge and listening skills. Data from the Music Attitude Questionnaire were first subjected to principal components analysis (PCA) followed by independent samples t-tests on participants' posttest responses to questionnaire items identified as reflecting underlying components in PCA. Results of the t-tests indicated no significant difference between the two classes. The sociological implications of music appreciation courses are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.

Full textAbstract:
The primary purpose of this study was to compare the effects of icon-based listening outlines and language-based listening outlines on the degree of liking scores and musical knowledge scores of nonmusic majors enrolled in music appreciation courses. A secondary purpose was to examine interactions between the methods of instruction and the students' age, gender, teacher, and primary language with the dependent variables of degree of liking and musical knowledge scores. One-hundred and ninety-seven university undergraduates enrolled in six intact music appreciation classes served as subjects for the twelve week study. Three instructors, each teaching two intact music appreciation classes, taught both methods. The study used a pretest/posttest two group experimental design to answer fourteen research questions. The results indicated that degree of liking scores and musical knowledge scores significantly improved between the pretests and posttests regardless of method of instruction. Results also revealed a significant interaction between method and time of test for both degree of liking and musical knowledge. Students using icon-based listening outlines showed a greater increase in degree of liking scores and musical knowledge scores from pretest to posttest than the students using language-based listening outlines; however all increases were slight. Results also revealed significant interactions among teacher, primary language, and musical knowledge scores and among teacher, method of instruction, and musical knowledge scores.

Full textAbstract:
With Hecate Nocturne, I set out to create a unified piece of substantial length. The piece features certain sounds of British Columbia---birds, animals, wind, water, machinery, and folksong; their musical depictions represent a growing interest of mine, one which was expanded significantly in this piece.The primary goal of the thesis is a close interconnection of all musical material, at all levels; that a limited pool of material could produce, through motivic development, all the components of the piece, from small to large. The secondary goal is to give the music a "sense of place" through depictions of natural sounds occurring---in this case---in British Columbia. The tertiary goal is to write musical returns, or recapitulations, that are always significantly altered from their original presentations, to give the piece a feeling of consequence or alteration. This last goal arises from the aesthetic application of some of the composer's philosophical beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
The specific problem prompting this investigation is the creation of a method of music criticism. The purposes for the investigation are three in number. First and foremost, the purpose of the investigation is to develop an unrestricted method of music criticism. The development of such a method fulfills the second reason for the investigation. Although Mortimer Adler and the Paideia Group have clearly stated the classes and pedagogy to be utilized in a Paideia curriculum, they have done little to suggest specific class content. This study resolves the content problem for one class. It is recommended that the music masterworks class be treated as a course in music criticism. Through such treatment of the class, students will meet the goals of the Paideia Group and develop the tools for societal reconstruction. Finally, the goal of establishing a method of music criticism harmonious with the educational philosophy of reconstructionism is the end to the previous two "means" purposes.

Full textAbstract:
This study develops a method for analyzing jazz piano music, primarily focusing on the era 1935-1950. The method is based on axiomatic concepts of jazz harmony, such as the circle of fifths and root position harmonies. 7-10 motion between root and chordal seventh seems to be the driving force in jazz motion. The concept of tritone substitution leads to the idea of a harmonic level, i.e., a harmony's distance from the tonic. With this method in hand, various works of music are analyzed, illustrating that all harmonic motion can be labelled into one of three categories. The ultimate goal of this analytic method is to illustrate the fundamental harmonic line which serves as the harmonic framework from which the jazz composer builds.

Full textAbstract:
Balbuzard is a musical composition of approximately twelve minutes in length, scored for solo clarinet, wind symphony and electronics. It focuses on cluster-like sound masses and explores ways of using these to give the music a clear sense of direction. To this end, tools were developed using a variety of computer applications or programming languages, such as Lisp, OpenMusic and Cubase. These tools made possible a kind of graphic composition where diagrams of different shapes were entered into a computer interface and converted into source material. The generated source material consisted of several rhythmic strata whose pitches, mainly part of diatonic, octatonic or chromatic collections, followed the contour of the entered shape. With this visual process, it was also possible to explore the creation of contrapuntal textures by entering diagrams of lines representing the path of each contrapuntal voice.**This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation). The CD requires the following system requirements: Windows MediaPlayer or RealPlayer.

Full textAbstract:
The research contained within this PhD project forms part of the Pedagogical ElectroAcoustic Resource Site project of the Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre of De Montfort University Leicester. This thesis contributes to current research in music education and musicology related to electroacoustic music. The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of teaching on the change in inexperienced listeners’ appreciation of electroacoustic music. A curriculum was developed to introduce electroacoustic music to 11 to 14 year old students (Key Stage 3). The curriculum was based on concepts distinguishing between electroacoustic music using (mainly) real-world sounds and generated sounds. The curriculum is presented in an online learning environment with an accompanying teacher’s handbook. The learning environment represents the prototype for the pedagogical ElectroAcoustic Resource Site offering online learning, blended learning and classroom-based learning. The website was developed following user-centred design; the curriculum was tested in a large-scale study including four Key Stage 3 classes within three schools in Leicester. In five lessons music using real-world sounds (soundscape and musique concrète) was introduced, which included the delivery of a listening training, independent research and creative tasks (composition or devising a role-play). The teaching design followed the methods of active, collaborative and self-regulated learning. Data was collected by using questionnaires, direct responses to listening experiences before and after the teaching, and summaries of the teaching written by the participants. Following a Qualitative Content Analysis, the results of the study show that the participants’ appreciation of electroacoustic music changed during the course of these lessons. Learning success could be established as well as a declining alienation towards electroacoustic music. The principal conclusion is that the appreciation of electroacoustic music can be enhanced through the acquiring of conceptual knowledge, especially through the enhancing of listening skills following the structured listening training as well as the broadening of vocabulary to describe the listening experience.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation develops a synoptic approach to the systematic identification and comparison of the distribution of material from the model in the Kyrie and in the Credo of six parody masses of Palestrina, Lassus and de Monte, published between 1570 and 1600. These masses are grouped in pairs and each pair is based on a different model. Knowing that the compositional approaches to parody vary from one composer to one another, the objectives of this research are as follows: (1) comparison of the parodic approach of two composers in masses based on the same model; (2) comparison of pairs of masses, considering that Palestrina and Lassus treat two of the three models; (3) comparison of the three masses of Lassus written on three different models.The synoptic approach to analysis is very interesting, because after the simultaneous identification of the motives in the model and in the mass movements (Kyrie and Credo), the entire complex of selected motives and their use in the construction of the modules become very easily detectable. The results of this research show that: (1) the model does not dictate the treatment, because the same model is treated differently by two composers; for instance, two masses of Palestrina based on different models are more alike, than those of Palestrina and Lassus based on the same model; (2) the model seems to be more attractive to the composer when it is one of his own compositions; for example, Palestrina borrows more material from his madrigal Io son ferito to build his Missa Petra Sancta, than Lassus does it in his Missa super Io son ferito ahi lasso based on the same model; (3) the style of the model does not determine the style of the mass; motifs from a non-imitative model can be treated in imitation in the mass, and (4) the sections of the Kyrie are more suited to formal development (generated by the repetitions of modules), than those of the Credo.

Full textAbstract:
Acheron, River of Woe is a large-scale piece for wind symphony accompanied by an analytical thesis. It is a single-movement programmatic piece lasting twelve minutes scored for a wind symphony consisting of three flutes (one doubling piccolo), two oboes, English horn, two bassoons, contrabassoon, E-flat clarinet, three B-flat clarinets, A clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, four saxophones, four trumpets, four horns, two trombones, bass trombone, euphonium, tuba, string bass, timpani, and three percussionists. This piece represents a journey on the River Acheron, inspired by quotations taken from several Greek poets of antiquity. The entire piece flows as one long, fluid stream of music, with different sonic currents, waves, and eddies moving through it. Modal theory governs its harmonic structure and is the foundation of the piece.

Full textAbstract:
The Ghost in the Machine is a piece of music far large wind ensemble. This piece is concerned with the interrelationship between the perception of time passing in music and the level of perceived density of musical activity. Specifically, the piece is designed according to the notion that the higher the level of musical activity within smaller intervals of time, the higher the perceived level of density. The piece consists of a large-scale density envelope that spans the length of the entire piece, wherein the level of density increases gradually towards and decreases away from the climax point. The shape of this density envelope is reflected on smaller scales that operate at various levels of the music, all of which are discussed in detail in the analysis part of the thesis. These density envelopes are used as a means of structuring the listening process over the course of the piece.

Full textAbstract:
Cachalote is a work for 17 musicians inspired by the study of social behavioral patterns in sperm whales. The distinctive series of clicks produced by these mammals, known as "codas," are their primary means of communication. These patterns manifest in Cachalote as a series of "sound objects", whose specific arrangement symbolizes communication, and underlines the musical discourse. The sound of field recordings provided further inspiration for the music's texture and orchestration. The composer's creation of an extra-musical narrative related to the lifecycle of sperm whales determines the appearance and ordering of the work's main gestures, and articulates the overall structure.

This thesis contains two volumes. The first is a written text that describes my compositional techniques in the context of an analysis of Codecs. The second volume is the score of this work. Volume one is divided into six sections: Introduction, harmony, rhythm and time, melodic materials, form, live electronics and future directions. Each section describes techniques and processes I developed throughout the compositional process.Codecs was inspired by the subversive proliferation musical materials though the use of audio codecs. I developed compositional tools based on encryption and compression in order to explore the audio codec metaphor.
Volume two is the full score of Codecs, a work for large ensemble and live electronics. It is comprised of three sections and has a duration of approximately 14 minutes. The work is scored for flute (doubling on piccolo), oboe, clarinet in Bb (doubling on bass clarinet), bassoon, horn in F, trumpet, trombone, tuba, string quintet and percussion. Electronic drum pads and captured live sounds are used to control the live electronic elements.

Liu, Lai Ying. "Description as a transmedial mode of representation and its potential in instrumental music explored through a study of musical work inspired by paintings." HKBU Institutional Repository, 2014. https://repository.hkbu.edu.hk/etd_oa/77.
Full textAbstract:
Among various forms of art, music (and instrumental music in particular) is said to be the least descriptive art form, owing to its limitation with respect to hetero- referentiality--the ability to refer to things outside itself. However, in view of the impreciseness current in the definition of musical description itself, as well as a lack of case studies in understanding the modes of representation of descriptive music, there remain some questions about the fundamental nature and the potential of music as a medium of description. These questions will be raised and explored in this dissertation. It is particularly interesting that, while description is distinguished from narration in literary studies, in the past musicologists have often treated the two categories as one; thus, I posit that this ambiguity might blur our understanding of some aspects of the medial nature of music. By looking at semiotic features of music, I study how these features operate in delivering descriptive content through the analysis of programmatic music of various types. Their roles in developing the descriptive potential of music are also explored here. Building on theoretical studies by Werner Wolf, and the concepts of semiologists such as Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce, I discuss three musical cases: Franz Liszt’s piano work, Sposalizio (inspired by Raphael’s Lo Sposalizio della Vergine), Ottorino Respighi’s Trittico Botticelliano (inspired by three of Sandro Botticelle’s paintings), as well as Sergei Rachmaninov’s The Isle of the Dead, Op. 29 (inspired by Arnold Bocklin’s Die Toteninsel). The research presented here seeks to reveal how musical signs describe the elements of the painting, as well as how they gradually acquire their own symbolic meaning that, in turn, ultimately allows them to transcend the visual images, and operate to present the inner content of the painting, as expressed by either the painter or the composer towards the pictorial artwork.

Full textAbstract:
Since 1950, wind band repertoire has experienced accelerated change and growth. There has been a shift from orchestral transcriptions, in which wind instruments frequently have been used formulaically, to original compositions for wind band that explore new timbre possibilities. This study analyzes selected band pieces composed since 1950, paying particular attention to the use of timbre. Specific developments that are discussed, in addition to the change in band instrumentation, are the new emphasis on percussion, and the exploration of new instrument combinations and their resulting timbres. This study primarily focuses on Symphony in B-flat for Band (1951) by Paul Hindemith, Music for Prague 1968 by Karel Husa, and " ... and the mountains rising nowhere" (1977) by Joseph Schwantner. These pieces represent the efforts of renowned composers whose music is considered significant in band repertoire. Hindemith's Symphony in B-flat conforms to the standard instrumentation of the period, as dictated by the American Bandmasters Association in 1945. Husa's Music for Prague 1968 reflects considerable expansion of instrumentation, and expands the role of the percussion section. Schwantner's " ... and the mountains rising nowhere" marks a deliberate nullification of the standard instrumentation for which Hindemith and Husa composed. Even though these composers have continued to make traditional use of form and harmony, their experiments have made the band's instrumentation more flexible than that of the pre-1950 era. These composers have exploited expanded percussion writing and new combinations of instruments. The transition from a pre-determined instrumentation dictated by external influences (Hindemith), through an expansion of that standard (Husa), to a music that is freed from any instrumentation limitations (Schwantner) reflects increasing composer interest in timbre as a primary compositional element. Composers continue to experiment with the instrumentation of the band, excluding traditional instruments and adding others. They have created great flexibility in the size and make-up of wind band instrumentation and generated music that places timbre in a position of high priority.

Full textAbstract:
Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) was one of the leading South American composers of the twentieth century. Born in Argentina at a time when his country was striving to achieve a national identity and culture, Ginastera was recognized for combining the techniques of Western European art music with elements of Argentine folk music. His piano sonatas, composed during both his early and late periods, serve as excellent examples of this cultural synthesis throughout the course of his career. The Sonata No. 1 for Piano Op. 22 (1954), Sonata No. 2 for Piano Op. 53 (1981), and Sonata No. 3 for Piano Op. 54 (1982) have been analyzed and discussed in recent scholarship. Theorists have identified Western techniques such as sonata-rondo form, serialism, and symmetry in his compositions. Yet, when addressing rhythm, scholars have focused primarily on highlighting the Argentine dance or Amerindian rhythm that the music exemplifies and have neglected to apply Western analytical tools for analyzing rhythm. The goal of this paper is to approach rhythm and meter in the piano sonatas from a new perspective in order to identify Ginastera's Western European musical techniques. Attention will be given to Ginastera's use of and denial of metric hierarchy and periodicity. The paper will also focus on consonant and dissonant rhythms in the piano sonatas, as well as additive and subtractive rhythms. Because any discussion of rhythm and meter in Ginastera's music cannot ignore its nationalistic origins, the paper provides an introductory chapter that discusses Argentine dance rhythms. However, the bulk of the paper aims to provide analyses from a Western art music viewpoint that illustrate Ginastera's compositional manipulation of rhythm and meter.ID: 030422756; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 70-71).

The system was designed to control audio compact discs and present coordinated graphic displays describing musical events as they were heard. Its effectiveness was examined by comparing student outcomes of two subject groups, one exposed to the interactive system in one section of a music appreciation course and another exposed to traditional materials (audio compact disc player, textbook, and writing on the board) in another section of the course. In the first part of the study (“instructional effectiveness”), outcomes were quiz scores and attitudes toward instruction; in a second part of the study; in a second part of the study (“transfer of learning”), outcomes were the quality of student-generated listening guides based on music of their own choice and attitude toward this activity. Results indicated that although there was a marked difference in the reporting of enjoyment of the instructional experience between treatment and control groups, there was no significant difference in any of the product outcomes, such as quizzes or student-generated listening guides. Additional opportunities to examine and compare the effects of the two different modes of instruction over longer periods of exposure is one of nine recommendations for further research reached as a result of this study.

Full textAbstract:
The videogame now occupies a unique territory in contemporary culture that offers a new perspective on conceptions of high and low art. While the fear that the majority of videogames 'pacify' their audience in an Adornian "culture industry" is not without justification, its reductionism can be countered by a recognition of the diversity and aesthetic potential of the medium. This has been proposed by sociologist, Graeme Kirkpatrick, although without close attention to the role of music. Videogame music often operates in similar ways to music in other mixed-media scenarios, such as film, or opera. In the same way that film music cannot be completely divorced from film, videogame music is contingent on and a crucial part of the videogame aesthetic. However, the interactive nature of the medium - its différance - has naturally led to the development of nonlinear musical systems that tailor music in real time to the game's dynamically changing dramatic action. Musical non-linearity points beyond both music and videogames (and their respective discourses) toward broader issues pertinent to contemporary musicology and critical thinking, not least to matters concerning high modernism (traditionally conceived of as resistant to mass culture). Such issues include Barthes's "death of the author", the significance of order/disorder as a formal spectrum, and postmodern conceptions and experiences of temporality. I argue that in this sense the videogame medium - and its music - warrants attention as a unique but not sui generis aesthetic experience. Precedent can be found for many of the formal ideas employed in such systems in certain aspects of avant-garde art, and especially in the aleatoric music prevalent in the 1950s and 60s. This thesis explores this paradox by considering videogames as both high and low, and, more significantly, I argue that the aesthetics of videogame music draw attention to the centrality of "play" in all cultural objects.

Full textAbstract:
Stravinsky’s opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex was based on Sophocles’ classic tragedy
Oedipus Tyrannus. Jean Cocteau wrote the libretto for Stravinsky in French, the
text was then translated into Latin. Le speaker speaking in the audience’s native
language with a detached voice is added to the opera-oratorio to narrate the events
of the story throughout. With its mixed genres, the juxtaposition of the dead
language and the vernacular, the contrast of the spoken word and the music
performance, and the intertexual references in the music, a strong dialectical
tension is created.
This study is a critical review of the narrative mode of Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex.
For a very long time, literature on Oedipus Rex has mainly focused on the
presentation of its music. However, as an opera-oratorio, Oedipus Rex is
composed to stage. This study aims at investigating the theatrical significance of
the work, for its theatrical presentation is influential and profound in 20th century
music theatre. Of particular note is the use of le speaker. The narration inserted in
between each musical episode creates a sense of ambivalence in the storytelling.
The work is therefore a bold challenge to the way stories have been told in theatre
over the past centuries.
The discussion concludes with the analysis of Julie Taymor and Seiji Ozawa’s
film version of Oedipus Rex in 1992. With Japanese elements infused in the work,
the dramatic tension between the spoken word and the music performance is
further polarised. This production is an example of how a combination of the
spoken word and the music performance pushes the Oedipus story further away
from Sophocles’ original.published_or_final_version
