Evolution De L'Identite Acadienne Dans La Chanson, Elisa E. A. Sance
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Cette étude examine l’évolution de l’identité acadienne dans la chanson, des thèmes abordés à l’utilisation du langage et spécialement l’utilisation de vernaculaires franco-acadiens.
Dans ce but, nous avons sélectionné des thèmes qui nous ont semblé particulièrement récurrents et intimement liés à la question identitaire. Nous traiterons donc du patriotisme dans la chanson acadienne, du mythe de l’Acadie perçue comme un paradis perdu, de l’évènement historique connu sous le nom de Grand Dérangement, d’Evangéline comme symbole fédérateur et de la question de l’usage de la langue.

Interrogating Music-Historical Narratives Through Ralph Vaughan Williams's Five Mystical Songs, Marilyn L. Brock
Interrogating Music-Historical Narratives Through Ralph Vaughan Williams's Five Mystical Songs, Marilyn L. Brock
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Although Ralph Vaughan Williams has remained an influential and well-liked composer throughout most decades since his death, the amount and specificity of scholarly writing about his work has been meager, and only during recent decades has it increased. One reason that Vaughan Williams has consistently been ignored is his use of "Romantic" harmonies during the twentieth century. This style complicates periodization of his work. By exploring other facets of his work and using alternative methods -- such as studies of the music's relationship to sociocultural movements, English music history, and history of genre -- for understanding his music, a greater …

Cognitive Vs. Aesthetic Musical Experiences : An Examination Of The Relationships Between Music Aptitude And Musical Preference In Third Grade Students., Erin Archer Elliott
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to measure correlations between third grade students’ music aptitude and preferences for music. Students (N = 60) from two elementary schools in Central Kentucky participated in the study. Students took Gordon’s Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation (IMMA) and a researcher-designed test called the Children’s Music Preference Index. Correlations between IMMA scores and music preference were tabulated using a two-tail bivariate correlation computing a Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient. No significant correlations were found between IMMA scores and the overall preference for music (r = -.018). There was an apparent weak negative correlation between aptitude and …
A Realization And Analysis : The Manifestation Of Franz Schubert Within Manuel Maria Ponce's Sonata Romantica., Parker S. Scinta
A Realization And Analysis : The Manifestation Of Franz Schubert Within Manuel Maria Ponce's Sonata Romantica., Parker S. Scinta
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Within early twentieth-century guitar repertoire, Manuel María Ponce’s Sonata Romántica distinguishes itself in both quality and historical significance. The manifestation of Franz Schubert’s compositional idioms within this work exhibits Ponce’s intense understanding of Romantic harmonic and formal treatment, in addition to his imitative compositional ability. The main aim of this document is to discover the specific ways in which Ponce emulates Schubert by incorporating comparative and Schenkerian analyses. This investigation examines Ponce’s treatment of harmonic, motivic and formal structures to reveal the unique aesthetic qualities that distinguish the piece as a guitar sonata in the manner of Schubert. In particular, …

Bitches Unleashed: Women In Rio's Funk Movement, Performances Of Heterosexual Femininity, And Possibilities Of Resistance, Raquel Moreira
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Rio de Janeiro's funk movement is one of Brazil's most important contemporary cultural and musical expressions. Emerged in the 1970s, Rio's funk was consolidated in the favelas during the 1980s, establishing an ambiguous and tense relationship with local government and media: at times, being legitimized as a cultural form, but also being frequently criminalized. The music is a hybrid combination of diverse Afro rhythms and a heavy bass line, and it is performed in aggressive ways, as well as with mockery and sensuality. Women in Rio's funk, the funkeiras, joined the movement in the late 1990s performing about sex, relationships, …
