Academic literature on the topic 'Quintettes'

Estudo sobre a assimilação do jazz na cultura popular francesa dos anos de 1930 e criação de uma sociedade de entusiastas desse estilo, especialmente em torno do Le Quintette du Hot Club de France. A transcrição e análise de Tiger Rag, música dos membros da Original Dixieland Jazz Band (Nick La Rocca, Eddie Edwards, Tony Sbarbaro, Larry Shields e Harry da Costa) na interpretação do Le Quintette (LE QUINTETTE DU HOT CLUB DE FRANCE, 1934, remasterizado em 1993) revela suas práticas de performance, especialmente de seus solistas: Django Reinhardt, no violão, e Stephane Grappelli, no violino.

Análise dos aspectos estilísticos da última fase composicional de Gabriel Fauré, focando sobre aspectos harmônicos, contrapontísticos, rítmicos e formais encontrados no Primeiro Movimento do Deuxième Quintette pour Piano et Cordes Op.115.

Antoine Reicha (1770-1836), compositeur, pédagogue et théoricien, naturalise français, était originaire de Bohème. Pares avoir fait son apprentissage musical avec son oncle Joseph Reicha dans les cours princières d'Oettingen-Wallerstein en souabe et de Cologne à Bonn, où il fut l'ami et le collègue de Beethoven, il se déplaça successivement à Hambourg, Paris et Vienne pour tenter sa chance; sa première vocation fut l'art lyrique, mais sans succès. En 1808, il se retrouva à Paris, et s'y installa définitivement. Enfin il acquit une renommée européenne grâce à ses vingt-quatre quintettes pour instruments à vent. Héritier d'une tradition d'émigration de musiciens originaires de Bohème, le caractère éclectique de Reicha fut très européen : il sut adapter, au moyen de son enseignement, de ses traites théoriques, et de ses compositions, la tradition musicale d'Outre-Rhin à l'expression instrumentale française; cet esprit du fusionnement des courants germaniques et français fut bien incarné dans ses quintettes à vents, dans lesquels il sut tirer parti du Harmoniemusik allemand, de la musique de chambre viennoise et de celle parisienne. De plus, Reicha sut profiter d'une situation favorable - l'essor des instruments à vent et l'épanouissement de la virtuosité des instrumentistes à vents du début du XIXe siècle - pour promouvoir ses quintettes, qui deviendront désormais le genre principal de la musique de chambre à vents
Antoine Reicha (1770-1836), composer, teacher and theorist, a naturalized French citizen, originated from Bohemia. After studying music with his uncle Joseph Reicha in the princely courts of Oettingen-Wallerstein in Swabia and Cologne in Bonn, where he was a friend and colleague of Beethoven, he moved first to Hamburg and then to Paris and Vienna to seek his fortune : he first turned to opera, but unsuccessfully. In 1808, he was in Paris where he settled permanently. He finally secured his reputation in Europe with his twenty-four woodwind quintets. Inherited from a tradition of emigration of musicians originating from bohemia, the eclectic character of Reicha's works was very European : through his teaching, treatises and compositions, he adapted German musical tradition to the expression of French instrumental music; this blending of German and French musical currents is embodied in his quintets in which he drew on German Harmoniemusik as well as on Viennese and Parisian chamber music. Moreover, Reicha took advantage of the rapid development of wind instruments and the growing virtuosity of wind instrument players at the beginning of the 19th century to promote his quintets which thereafter became the main genre of chamber music for woodwind

Malgré la notoriété de Gabriel Fauré, le style particulier de sa musique chambre reste encore difficile à appréhender par l’analyse. La construction formelle y est un réel sujet de questionnement. Tandis que certains analystes essaient d’attester son originalité en examinant en quoi elle s’éloigne de la tradition, d’autres proposent des analyses de la dynamique caractéristique de ses thèmes, dont le développement continu aboutit à la réalisation de la grande forme. Ces dernières se sont jusqu’à présent appuyées sur un corpus limité. Cette thèse se propose d’élargir le corpus aux cinq grandes œuvres de chambre pour cordes et piano – deux Quatuors op. 15 et 45, deux Quintettes op. 89 et 115 et le Trio op. 120 et d’y cerner la « dynamique formelle ». Après l’étude des témoignages de l’époque du compositeur qui permet de mettre en relief la conception de l’originalité formelle dans son œuvre, l’analyse porte sur l’agencement interne des thèmes et sur la réalisation de la grande forme à partir de l’étude des partitions mais aussi à l’aide d’une représentation donnée par un logiciel informatique qui permet de visualiser l’enveloppe dynamique et de repérer des climax. En révélant en quoi consiste ce processus, la présente thèse contribue à mieux rendre compte du style personnel de Fauré et de la façon dont il élabore une musique qui donne l’impression d’une progression et d’un développement continus se prolongeant jusqu’à la fin de l’œuvre
Despite the notoriety of Gabriel Fauré’s musical style, the particular style of his chamber music still remains difficult to comprehend by analysis. Formal construction is a real subject of question. While some analysts try to attest to his originality by examining how it departs from tradition, others offer analyses of the dynamic characteristic of its themes, whose continuous development leads to the realization of large form. The latter have so far relied on a limited corpus of works. This thesis proposes to expand the corpus to the five large chamber works for strings and piano - two Quartets op. 15 and 45, two Quintets op. 89 and 115 and the Trio op. 120 in order to define the “formal dynamics.” After the study of testimonies from the composer's time that highlights the formal originality in his work, the subsequent analysis deals with the internal arrangement of themes and the realization of large form from the study of scores. I conduct my analysis with the help of graphic representation created by a computer software that can visualize the enveloping dynamic and identify climaxes. By revealing the contents of this process, this thesis helps to better reflect the very personal style of Fauré and the way in which he creates music that gives the impression of continuous progression and development extending to the end of the work

En 1922, le flûtiste René Le Roy eut l'idée de créer une formation chambriste dont l'effectif instrumental atypique (flûte, harpe et trio à cordes) n'est pas sans rappeler celui de la Sonate pour flûte alto et harpe de Debussy qu'il affectionnait particulièrement. Le Quintette Instrumental de Paris poursuit une intense carrière musicale jusqu'en 1940, grâce à l'investissement et à la rigueur de ses membres originels : Marcel Grandjany puis Pierre Jamet à la harpe, René Bas au violon, Pierre Grout à l'alto et Roger Boulmé au violoncelle. Le groupe est dissous durant la guerre, à la suite du départ de René Le Roy pour l'Amérique et de la mort au combat de Roger Boulmé. Le Quintette se reforme en 1944, sous l'impulsion de son harpiste dont il portera le nom. À la séparation définitive de l'ensemble en 1958, le Quintette Pierre Jamet trouve un nouvel élan en la personne de Marie-Claire Jamet, fille de Pierre Jamet, et de son mari le flûtiste Christian Lardé. Cette thèse, qui se concentre sur la première période d'activité de l'ensemble (1922-1940), se propose d'examiner la manière dont le groupement est parvenu à s'implanter et pérenniser son activité, alors même qu'il ne correspondait à aucune tradition chambriste et qu'il ne disposait d'aucun répertoire préexistant. Les interprètes sollicitèrent les compositeurs de leur temps afin d'enrichir progressivement leur répertoire. À la lumière de documents d'archives pas ou peu exploités jusqu'à maintenant, la première partie du travail s'attache à reconstituer la trajectoire musicale de l'ensemble et à mesurer la place qu'il occupe dans la vie musicale de son époque. Il jouit d'un contexte historique favorable à la pratique de la musique de chambre et suscite l'intérêt des compositeurs, séduits par le potentiel expressif de cette nouvelle combinaison instrumentale. Une deuxième partie revient sur les stratégies de carrière mises en place par l'ensemble lui-même pour promouvoir son activité en France comme à l'étranger. L'occasion nous est donnée de revenir sur la figure de l'imprésario qui, à l'instar de Marcel de Valmalète, exerce une influence de plus en plus grandissante dans la vie musicale française. Dans une période de grands bouleversements géopolitiques, l'Association Française d'Action Artistique (A.F.A.A.), qui œuvre pour la promotion de la musique française à l'étranger, favorise grandement le déploiement de la carrière du Quintette en Europe et en Amérique. À ce titre, les deux tournées américaines réalisées en 1934 et 1935 s'érigent comme un modèle de rayonnement artistique. Proche de René Le Roy et surtout de Pierre Jamet, Nadia Boulanger facilite l'introduction du Quintette dans le milieu musical new-yorkais, en endossant un rôle d'intercesseur. La programmation de concerts, également reconstituée, repose sur le principe d'alternance de pièces d'effectifs différents, tout en s'attachant à remettre à l'honneur des pages méconnues du répertoire baroque et présenter les dernières productions de compositeurs contemporains. Afin d'en mesurer les spécificités, le répertoire interprétatif du Quintette est mis en regard d'autres formations de la même époque, en particulier le Trio Cortot-Thibaud-Casals, le Trio Pasquier et le Quatuor Calvet, qui bénéficiaient également d'une grande visibilité sur les mêmes années d'exercice. Enfin, la troisième partie aborde spécifiquement l'esthétique du répertoire en quintette progressivement constitué entre 1923 et 1938, et qui comprend près d'une trentaine d'œuvres composées à l'intention du Quintette Instrumental de Paris. Un corpus plus resserré comprenant les dix quintettes les plus représentatifs de leur répertoire (Jongen, Roussel, d'Indy, Pierné, Cras, Ropartz, Schmitt, Malipiero et Françaix) font l'objet d'une analyse approfondie de l'écriture et de la gestion de l'effectif instrumental. Ce travail permet d'aborder les questions d'homogénéité sonore, d'explorations timbriques et de configuration instrumentale
In 1922, the flutist René Le Roy had the idea of creating a chamber ensemble with an atypical combination of instruments (flute, harp and string trio) which recalls Debussy's Sonate pour flute, alto et harpe that he was particularly fond of. The Quintette Instrumental de Paris had a well-filled musical career until 1940, thanks to the dedication and rigour of its founder members: Marcel Grandjany, and then Pierre Jamet on the harp, René Bas on the violin, Pierre Grout on the viola and Roger Boulmé on the cello. The ensemble was disbanded during the war, when René le Roy left for America, and Roger Boulmé was killed in action. In 1944, the harpist Pierre Jamet re- formed the quintet, which now bears his name. When the group finally split up in 1958, the Pierre Jamet Quintet was given a new lease of life by Marie-Claire Jamet, Pierre Jamet's daughter, and her husband, the flutist Christian Lardé. This thesis, which focusses on the ensemble's first period of activity (1922-1940), sets out to examine how the group managed to get established and sustain its activity, even though it did not belong to any chamber music tradition and had no pre-existing repertoire. The players turned to contemporary composers in order to gradually enrich their repertoire. The first part sets out to reconstruct the musical trajectory of the ensemble, in the light of documentary evidence scarcely used until now., and to assess its place in the musical life of its time. The ensemble benefited from a favourable historical context for the practice of chamber music, and it attracted composers who were interested in the expressive potential of this new combination of instruments. The second part looks at the career strategies implemented by the ensemble itself to promote its activities in France and abroad. This provides an opportunity to reconsider the figure of the impresario who, like Marcel de Valmalète, exerted an ever-growing influence on French musical life. In this period of great geopolitical upheaval, the Association Française d'Action Artistique (A.F.A.A.), which promoted French music abroad, greatly encouraged the Quintet's career in Europe and America. This is perfectly illustrated by the two American tours in 1934 and 1935. Nadia Boulanger, who was close to René Le Roy and more particularly to Pierre Jamet, acted as an intermediary to facilitate the Quintet's introduction into the New York musical milieu. The concert programme, which had also been restructured, was based on the principle of alternating pieces for different sized groups, endeavouring to give pride of place to little-known pages from the Baroque repertoire and to present the latest works by contemporary composers.In order to assess the particular nature of the Quintet's interpretative repertoire, it is compared with that of other groups from the same period, in particular the Trio Cortot-Thibaud-Casals, the Trio Pasquier and the Quatuor Calvet, which were also popular at the time. Finally, the third part deals specifically with the aesthetics of the quintet as it progressed between 1923 and 1938, including some thirty works composed for the Quintette Instrumental de Paris. A more restricted corpus comprising the ten quintets which best exemplify their repertoire (Jongen, Roussel, d'Indy, Pierné, Cras, Ropartz, Schmitt, Malipiero and Françaix) is the focus of an in-depth analysis of the writing and management of this particular combination of instruments. We can hereby tackle the questions of sound homogeneity, exploration of timbre and instrumental configuration

Two years in a row Quintette Coal Ltd. had a toppling failure occur on the North Wall in the Marmot Vertical Limb. The wall has an overall angle of approximately 50 degrees, and the stratigraphy, consisting of poor quality sandstone and shale, is dipping almost vertical. The July 27th bench scale toppling failure, was initiated by high pore pressures generated in tension cracks. The September 18th toppling failure was a multi-bench failure, which had been developing for over a year. Although water pressures did not initiate failure, transient water tables contributed to the overall instability. Both failures were the result of poor wall design and blasting damage. This thesis presents the background material, the mine and monitor method developed and the back analysis of the failure. The areas researched include: regional and local geology, structural geology in the Vertical Limb, mine development, the groundwater conditions encountered, the blasting practices used, the artificial support systems installed and the monitoring network established. The analysis of the failure used the Distinct Element Method developed by Peter Cundall. This method is a recognized discontinuum modelling approach, which is used to model jointed media subjected to quasi-static or dynamic loading. The method has been compared to the Limit Equilibrium Analysis proposed by Goodman and Bray in 1976, but most of the work involving UDEC (Universal Distinct Element Code) has centred around tunnel design and support requirements, rock reinforcement, fluid flow through a jointed media, dynamic loading and thermal-mechanical modelling. In this thesis the rock mass is analyzed as a series of rigid blocks, which are subjected to gravitational forces. The purpose of UDEC is not to design pit walls or better dams, but rather to be used as a tool to better understand how a jointed rock mass behaves under static and dynamic loads.

Das Quintett für zwei Trompeten, zwei Posaunen und Klavier entstand 1988-89 für ein Konzert junger Komponisten an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover. Alle teilnehmenden Komponisten folgten einer gemeinsamen, von Prof. Peter Becker erdachten Aufgabenstellung, nämlich: >„Ich folge Luft von anderem Planeten“ – Studie über die Anfangstöne des Sopranparts d-g-a des Schusssatzes des 2. Streichquartetts fis-Moll von Arnold Schönberg für eine beliebige Quintettbesetzung<. Zugrunde liegt dem vokal-instrumentalen Satz das Gedicht „Entrückung“ von Stefan George, das mit der oben zitierten Zeile beginnt. Mein Werk hat mit Schönberg wenig zu tun, am ehesten noch hinsichtlich der Technik der entwickelnden Variation. Klanglich ist es eher von der latenten Pentatonik inspiriert, die in der Tonfolge d-g-a enthalten ist. Die ungewöhnliche Besetzung meines Beitrags vereint zwei der Klangkörper, für die ich besonders gern komponiere und die mir besonders vertraut sind: Klavier und Blechbläser. Wie Schönberg (Sopransolo + Streichquartett) habe ich also eine „1 + 4“-Besetzung gewählt.

Gabriel Fauré has been neglected as composer in terms of international recognition. It is indeed true that the art of his music is not revealed at first sight: one must take time to discover the beauty and authentic meaning concealed in the depths thereof. While it is relatively true that musicians recognize the originality of his melodies, there seems to be a lack of appreciation of his contributions in the field of chamber music.

This study is about Johann Christian Bach's Opus 11 Quintets for flute, oboe, violin, viola, cello and continuo. The main focus of the research concerns the use of sonata form in these pieces. All the first movements are in sonata form, which was a common practice of his time. The two slow second movements are in sonata form also. In addition, one of the slow movements is sonata form without a development section.This period of time was rich in experimentation. Within Bach's work the variety within these eight sonata-form movements is explored. Essential features of the sonata form as well as Bach's unique originality are evident.In order to be able to historically place these works, the sonata-form movements of Bach's contemporaries and Bach's other types of instrumental works are compared to Bach's Opus 11. Works included for the discussion in this dissertation are the quartets and quintets in mixed instrumentation including one or two woodwind instruments. The closest possible instrumentation to Opus 11 is that of flute and oboe.Bach's music is Italian in tone; however, the Germanic inheritance is evident in the use of polyphonic texture, harmonic depth, and richness of instrumentation. His concern for instrumental color is highly advanced for his time and he virtually pioneers this color effect in an ensemble works. His skillful use of sonata form and instrumentation is the pathway that Mozart promoted.

While I have been kept by the rain under the shelter of my great oak, (perfectly dry and comfortable, to the rattle of the drops all around,) I have pencill’d off the mood of the hour in a little quintette, which I will give...

Soliton compounds present versatile and sophisticated intra-molecule assemblies. Here, we experimentally characterize manifold isomeric scenarios of soliton quintets, intensively paving a novel route for full-field reconstruction and further manipulation of soliton complexes.

Differential item functioning or item bias is a usual threat in psychological research and many experts in the field such as Kline (1993), Nunnally and Bernstein (1994), and others have suggested various methods for its detection and removal. Item bias in terms of culture has been addressed by Poortinga, Van de Vijver, Leung, Muthén, and others, with most of the proposed methods attempting to minimize variance explained by culture itself by detecting and deleting culturally-biased items from the analysis. This is done through the detection of inequivalent –in terms of factor structure– items and their elimination before comparing for factor equivalence using “culture-free” correlation matrices. The currently proposed alternative statistical technique is to estimate indices of country eccentricity through individual differences Euclidean distance scaling models for the respective weirdness index to be computed and then proceed with variance and raw-scores adjustment, accounting for each item’s variance caused in terms of culture only. Analyzing the beforeadjustment and the after-adjustment correlation matrices through covariance structure analysis and Procrustean rotations, we might be able to evaluate the profits from the adjustment itself. The illustration data for this method were 20 measures from six countries (N=1,655) as presented in the Georgas et al. (2006) 30-nation study on family issues. Following the initial analysis of all six countries, all quintet and quartet combinations of countries were examined and evaluated for the before and after adjustment outcomes. For all 22 combinations, factor loadings after metric adjustment were slightly higher; also, for a large number of country sets, items not included in the factor structure before the adjustment were now entering it. Factor identities were not affected to a large extent, but the factor identities were somewhat altered, revealing interesting facets within each of the broader areas defined by the initial –before the raw score adjustment– factors.

Explosibility measurements on coal dusts from the Cape Breton Development Corporation's Lingan Mine, TransAlta's Highvale Mine and the Quintette Mine in B.C. have been carried out along with some tests on Pittsburgh Standard coal dust. The Quintette coal dust would not explode in the classical Hartmann apparatus, but did explode in the new 20-L vessel using a more powerful ignition source. The minimum explosible concentrations of the Lingan, Highvale and Pittsburgh coal dusts were all about the same (40 - 45 mg/L), that of the Quintette was higher (140 mg/L). The difference may be attributed to the much greater mean particle size of the Quintette dust. The explosion pressures (in kPa) were: Highvale, 600, Pittsburgh, 520, Lingan, 510, and Quintette, 440. The minimum oxygen concentrations required for explosions were (in % oxygen): Highvale 10.4, Lingan 10.5, and Quintette 14. The minimum ignition temperatures of dust clouds were (in °C): Highvale 510, Lingan 600, Quintette 620 and Pittsburgh 620. Further work is required to reconcile limit values.
