Enchanting Music: How English Playwrights Use Music In Renaissance Witchcraft Plays, Alyssa Anders
Enchanting Music: How English Playwrights Use Music In Renaissance Witchcraft Plays, Alyssa Anders
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Music is an integral aspect of the Early Modern theater, but because most of this music is lost, scholars and students typically only analyze these works using literary theories. This approach does not allow for a full understanding these plays, which is especially true of witchcraft plays because witches typically utilize music for their spells. In this thesis, I am exploring the interdisciplinary connection of music and literature in the Jacobean witchcraft plays The Witch (c. 1616) by Thomas Middleton and The Tragedy of Sophonisba or The Wonder of Women (1604-1606). From my analysis of the existing music from The …

If There’s Anything I Can Do is a collection of nine connected short stories. Each story takes place in the fictional River City, and explores the lives of characters that frequent Cellar Door, a divey, basement bar in the heart of downtown. Bartenders, musicians, regulars, neighbors, fathers, brothers, and lovers make up the crowd at Cellar Door, and each story shows the importance of place within a community.
Emotional And Autonomic Responding To Auditory Stimuli, Jeremy C. Peres
Emotional And Autonomic Responding To Auditory Stimuli, Jeremy C. Peres
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Much of the research examining emotion induction, regulation, and suppression considers solely the visual modality (e.g., pictures of faces) for emotion elicitation. In reality, emotions are cued, expressed, and interpreted through multiple modalities by employing the extensive use of auditory stimuli in addition to visual stimuli. There have been some recent efforts to offset this imbalance in modality preference by using emotional auditory stimuli alone or in addition to visual stimuli. This project aims to further investigate emotional and autonomic responding to auditory stimuli with the added component of examining differential responding across social (nonlinguistic vocal expression) and non-social auditory …

Determining What's Next: A Slow Movement For Chamber Orchestra, Matthew Golombisky
Determining What's Next: A Slow Movement For Chamber Orchestra, Matthew Golombisky
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This piece was started during the spring semester of 2005. The original conception was to write something that was both emotionally and mentally moving. The tempo is very slow, 54 beats per minute. The underlying theme is the harmonic movement of an E minor triad (E G B) moving to a F major 7th chord (F A C E). This chord is often approached using deceiving the listener with a do – re – ma – do melody in E minor, but when the final E is heard, it has become the 7th degree of the cadence chord, F major …
Eager And Hungry For Music: The Wpa Music Project In New Orleans, 1935-1943, Jason Abate
Eager And Hungry For Music: The Wpa Music Project In New Orleans, 1935-1943, Jason Abate
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Of the millions of American workers who suffered economically during the Great Depression of the 1930s, musicians in particular fell on hard times. The live music profession had begun to decline even before the onset of the Depression due to the introduction of new acoustic technologies. In 1935, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in an attempt to put the nation back to work through governmentsponsored work projects. One division of the WPA was Federal Music Project (FMP). A great deal has been written about the WPA, but the Music Project has received little scholarly attention, …
A Theoretical And Empirical Analysis Of The Impact Of The Digital Age On The Music Industry, Norbert Michel
A Theoretical And Empirical Analysis Of The Impact Of The Digital Age On The Music Industry, Norbert Michel
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
We present an in-depth analysis of the music industry and use our findings to judge the practical assumptions and design of an original theoretical model. The model is in three stages, where, in a Hotelling-type framework, the last agents to act are consumers who choose between copying, purchasing, or staying out of the market for music. Prior to the last stage, the record label chooses its profit maximizing price and, in the first stage, we incorporate the artist-label bargaining agreement into a theoretical framework using the Nash cooperative bargaining solution. The current structure of the music industry is a combination …
