Musical Inspiration As Seen Through The Artist's Eyes, Antoni Pizà Oct 1989

Musical Inspiration As Seen Through The Artist's Eyes, Antoni Pizà

Publications and Research

The role of inspiration in the creation of a musical work has been a matter for conjecture and research by musicians and psychologists. But the realm of inspiration belongs to the creators themselves, who supply mythology, religion, and science to account for the source of an artwork. Throughout history, painters, too, have given their version of musical inspiration and the process of the creation of the work of art. What is musical inspiration? Where does it come from? What are its effects? The following essay explores some painters' responses by surveying some representative works of art.

Le Conte 425b: Rites De Mariage Et Parcours Magique, Francesca Sautman May 1989

Le Conte 425b: Rites De Mariage Et Parcours Magique, Francesca Sautman

Publications and Research

Le conte 4258, «la femme à la recherche de son mari», fait partie du type plus général de La Belle et la Bête, également appelé Amour et Psyché. C'est bien moins à ce conte classique qu'à L'Oiseau Bleu de Madame d'Aulnoy que ce conte ressemble, comme l'avait déjà signalé Le Conte Populaire Français.

Objet d’interminables disputes, la question de l’origine et du mode de transmission d’Amour et Psyché ne sera pas reprise dans cette étude. Celle-ci portera plutôt sur l’organisation symbolique du conte, auquel la richesse des détails et l’agencement des motifs confèrent une forme très …


Revision Strategies Of Deaf Student Writers, Sue Livingston Mar 1989

Revision Strategies Of Deaf Student Writers, Sue Livingston

Publications and Research

Deaf high school students at different schools shared second drafts of their own narratives via an electronic bulletin board after conferencing with their respective teachers. This article characterizes the kinds of questions teachers asked during the conferences and the kinds of revisions the students made between first and second drafts. Results indicate that teachers most often ask questions that require student to provide more information; yet these questions do not affect revision as much as questions which require students to rephrase specific language. Students typically either added or substituted words or phrases that showed both similarities to and differences from …

Modal Harmony In Andalusian, Eastern European, And Turkish Syncretic Musics, Peter L. Manuel Jan 1989

Modal Harmony In Andalusian, Eastern European, And Turkish Syncretic Musics, Peter L. Manuel

Publications and Research

This article examined, in a cursory form, the standardized ways of harmonizing predominantly modal melodies in the contexts of a set of interrelated urban folk and popular musics of the Mediterranean area. Insofar as these music employ a harmonic-melodic system qualitatively distinct from that of Western common practice, they are worthy of scholarly attention in themselves. This article further seeks to revive the spirit of "Comparative Musicology" and to suggest ways in which cross-cultural comparison of selected musical parameters may reveal new sorts of pan-regional music areas.

Andalusian, Gypsy, And Class Identity In The Contemporary Flamenco Complex, Peter L. Manuel Jan 1989

Andalusian, Gypsy, And Class Identity In The Contemporary Flamenco Complex, Peter L. Manuel

Publications and Research

This article endeavors to illustrate the important role played by flamenco and related subgenres in expressing and, to a considerable extent, helping to shape modern Andalusian identity. In this way we will attempt to demonstrate how musical style as well as text content can function not merely as passive reflections of broader sociocultural phenomena that shape them, but also as active contributors to the processes of cultural change.
