Chambers, Kateri. "The evolution of grace: tracing the development of petite graces ornamentation." Thesis, Boston University, 2008. https://hdl.handle.net/2144/30649.
Full textThis dissertation examines the evolution of French vocal ornamentation. Ornaments (agrements or petites graces) were often marked by composers with the use of a symbol instead of being fully notated. Prior to the codification of this stenographic system, the gestural shapes they would come to represent were used. The admixture of shorthand agrement signs and full notation for ornamental gestures was due in part to the unwritten tradition of improvisation, transition from Renaissance to Baroque musical styles, and the inchoate state of printing. This dissertation traces the development of the petite grace system: The primary focus is secular vocal music from 1570 to 1702. Particular attention is given to airs de cours, vaudevilles, airs and chansons for boire and danser, and the contrasting airs serieux. To provide a wider overview of contemporary ornamentation and performance practices in France, sacred and secular vocal music 1527-1594, compositions by related foreign composers 1528-1702, general music and vocal treatises 1603-1736, and instrumental treatises and front matter 1583-1720 are surveyed. This chronological examination of the nascent petites graces yields a cursory look over a wide range of material. The first precursor melodic shapes appear in France by 1528, descriptions appear in 1603, and the first signed agrements in 1615. This dissertation provides a compendium of material; pinpoints the emergence of signs, descriptions, and agrement musical appearances outside treatises; and summarizes the trends of each petite grace.

Full textThis essay studies the funnel-beaker ceramic in connection with the megalith graves in South Scandinavia. In my work I have described the nature of ceramics and looked on the crockery types and ornamentation and then discussed the use of the material in a ritual perspective. In the first part I have focused on the critical aspects you have to think about when you do a study like this one. In the second part of this essay I have done a case study, with the ceramic material, in three passages graves in the area of Falbygden, Western Sweden and studied the ceramic material and the nature of it in South Scandinavia as well. Then in the third I discussed the potential use, there is two, of the ceramic material in general of South Scandinavia and looked at it in a ritual perspective.

Full textA cultura material indígena constitui um dos mais fortes ícones culturais de nosso país. Hoje a sua relevância torna-se mais evidente diante de um mundo globalizado e efêmero que, cada vez mais, busca em referências de tradições locais, âncoras simbólicas e originalidade estética. No campo do design, verificamos a recorrência de trabalhos baseados em fazeres regionais ou no artesanato de tradições locais. Essa dissertação, então, procura trazer uma reflexão sobre o relacionamento do design com a iconografia indígena em nosso país, abordando para tanto, as formas como se operam os cruzamentos entre o sistema estético hegemônico com sistemas estéticos ditos populares como o indígena, ou seja, as diferentes formas como cada um deles se apropria dos elementos estéticos do outro. Sob o ponto de vista do design, nos interessa investigar a apropriação que o design faz desta iconografia assim como a intervenção do designer junto a comunidades indígenas. Esta dissertação traz como estudo de caso a ornamentação corporal dos índios Kayapó. Entre os diferentes índios relativamente isolados que habitam hoje a região da Amazônia Legal, a ornamentação corporal dos índios Kayapó se destaca por sua relevante expressão estética, por sua beleza e refinamento. Assim como expressa de maneira muito formal e sintética a compreensão que estes índios possuem de sua cosmologia, estrutura social, da relação com a natureza e da construção da identidade e da alteridade.
The indigenous iconography is one of the most powerful cultural icons from our country. Its relevance becomes more and more evident within a globalized and ephemeral world, which searchs in local traditions symbolic references and original aesthetics. In the design field we notice the increasing presence of works based on regional motives and local traditional handicrafts. This dissertation proposes a reflexion about the relation between design and the indigenous iconography in our country, broaching the differents forms that the hegemonic aesthetic system encounter the popular ones, as the indigenous. In other words, the differents forms that each of them appropriates the aesthetics elements of the other. In the design s field we are interested in investigate the design s appropriation of the indigenous iconography as well as, the designer s intervention into indigenous communities. This dissertation brings as case study, the body ornamentation of Kayapó Indians. Among the different relatively isolated Indians, who inhabit the region of the Legal Amazon nowadays, the kayapó Indians detach themselves for their meaningful aesthetic expression, beauty and refinment. Their ornamentation reflects in a formal and very synthetic way the understanding of their cosmology, social structure, relationship with nature and the construction of identity.

Full textStarting from a journey through the city of São Paulo, the research identifies the architectural ornament. It aims at deepening the ongoing academic debate on the continuance of ornament as a constituent element of architecture and at helping intensify and broaden the approaches to its examination. Throughout the discussion, held out of the articulation of selected propounded concepts, the research tries to identify manners of presentation of the architectural ornament under different circumstances in space and culture. It is assumed that the meaning associated to the ornamental object exceeds the sole scope of aesthetics, and it demands knowledge from other subject areas in an articulated way. After that city journey, other ones - this time conceptual journeys - are taken, in which the ornamental object arises differently in history, time, society and the architectural designing. This path leads to no point of arrival: this inquiry intends to supply additional supportive elements for further research.

Full textThe present article aimed to make cuts from library research in historical secondary data in order to elaborate a chronological line in ornamentation, since pre-history to the late 1990s. To achieve the specific purpose, it was necessary to make cuts in world history, in visual communications, clothing and adornment in order to make it possible to elaborate the interfaces of all obtained data, knowing how each topic influenced the use of materials, techniques and also use of ornaments by each individual. The ornaments worldwide characterize the different groups and cultures and this is a significant study factor that can be very broad in its various aspects. Thus, it is known that the garment later seen as fashionable, establishes a relationship between the person and the object; the individuals consume garment by the need for the use of clothing, and it may be attributed to it a social visual differentiation. In parallel to garment, there are the ornaments, detected in human life from the very beginning that have gone through the entire history of humanity until their arrival in the present times, in a condition to be requirements as necessary as the garment itself

Full textDarwin’s seminal theory of evolution by means of natural selection, first published 157 years ago, has been in constant refinement ever since. The production and maintenance of extravagant ornaments is widely suggested to evolve by conspecific preference providing information on individual intrinsic quality in sexual contexts or on individual social quality in non-reproductive contexts. The king penguin is a monomorphic bird species and an outstanding model to study ornament evolution. My results show that those ornaments are partly condition-dependent, and reliable traits that may be used to assess the quality of a potential sexual partner, implying that their evolution and maintenance is partly determined by sexual selection. On the other hand, some traits remained condition-independent in their production, suggesting that the cost associated with their expression was deferred over time and the evolution of those ornaments likely shaped by non-sexual social selection

Diss., Temple University Libraries, 2010. http://cdm16002.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p245801coll10/id/87092.
Full textD.M.A.
A two-fold analysis of the vocal ornamentation in Handel's aria, "He was despised" from Messiah, was conducted employing objective and subjective forms of listening practice associated with the analysis of recordings methodology. It is this author's hypothesis that prosody, born of the semiotic processes of rhythm, pitch and accent, and which is also reflective of the subjective understanding of the performer, will be present during the moment of an ornament--if it is present at all in any performance. Ornamentation is shown to be an entry into the world of subjectivity in Baroque vocal performance practice as well as a window into the oral tradition and the primacy of the singer's expressiveness that relates back to the Italian school to which Handel subscribed. The method of study in this monograph consists of examining scholarly writings, scores, notations and most importantly, applying listening practice to 38 different renditions of "He was despised," executed by female altos or by countertenors, under the direction of various conductors, dating from 1927 through 2006. The first of two listening practices is an analysis of recordings to identify and review the nature of the non-notated sung ornaments found in the recordings. The author develops a system of defining and categorizing the types and units of non-notated, aurally observed vocal ornaments executed in each performance. In the second phase of this study, the author incorporates a postmodern philosophical approach and notes her own subjective experiences during the analysis of recordings. This phase examines the idea that prosodic elements are associated with the subjective experience of emotional meaning, elucidation of text, and illumination of subtext in this aria from Handel's Messiah. Results include noteworthy findings about the interplay of the singer's subjectivity with ornamentation in affecting the listener's subjective reaction to the performance (e.g., narrator's viewpoint, beautifying versus emphasizing subtext). In conclusion, the author explores the relationship between a performer's prosodic and non-prosodic executions of ornamentation and proposes specific recommendations to singers who wish to execute ornamentation in a manner that is both historically informed as well as prosodically expressive of subtext.
