Orchestrating The Waterfront Dispute: Music And Discourse In Bastard Boys, Rebecca Coyle

Dr Rebecca Coyle

Bastard Boys is a historically-inspired mini-series broadcast on ABC TV in May 2007. It dramatizes a set of events that are commonly described as the Waterfront dispute, an industrial showdown between unions, the then-conservative Coalition government and corporate owners that occurred on the Australian docks in April 1998. The screenplay for Bastard Boys by Sue Smith and direction by Ray Quint interpret the dispute through a thematic framework of war. This approach is musically supported by Jan Preston’s score and the featured use of a rendition – by ex-Noiseworks singer Jon Stevens – of Edwin Starr’s 1970 hit song War. …

The Affective Properties Of Keys In Instrumental Music From The Late Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Centuries, Maho A. Ishiguro

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The concept of key characteristics deals with the particular moods which different tonalities are believed to provide to music. Discussions regarding their existence and the validity of the phenomena have always been controversial because of a lack of fundamental reasons and explanations for them. Nevertheless, references to key characteristics have appeared in various fields of study and over many centuries: the Greek doctrine of ethos, writings of Guido d’Arezzo, Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Traité de l’harmonie, scribbles in Beethoven’s sketches, and several passages in Hermann von Helmholtz’s On the Sensations of Tones.

The attitudes and opinions towards key characteristics have varied in …

A History Of Opera In Boston, John R. Tedesco

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

This thesis examines the cultural context of opera in Boston between the years 1620 to 2010. Specifically, I look at how the Boston Opera Company was founded, its existence, and its ultimate demise. The rise of opera in colonial Boston is also explored and especially how the immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries influenced the city. Around this time of changing demographics Eben D. Jordan, Jr., of Jordan Marsh Co. decided to build an opera house for the city of Boston.

The effects that Puritanism had on music and the culture of Boston during its early years …
