The Effect Of Directed Attention Score Study Procedures On Music Majors' Error Detection In Three-Part Instrumental Music, Amanda Lynn Schlegel
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of directing participant (N = 60) attention to one voice in three-part homophonic and polyphonic instrumental music on music majors’ detection of pitch and rhythm errors. Directed attention participants studied one voice prior to studying the entire score through either visual or aural methods. Visual group participants (n = 20) studied the voice of directed attention (VDA), which was color highlighted, in silence. Aural group participants (n = 20) studied the VDA in a three-phase treatment: sight-singing the VDA, using a piano and their own singing to correct any errors …

Symphony #2 And A Critical Appraisal Of Helmut Lachenmann's Writings And Music, Jeffrey Lipscomb
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The first portion of this dissertation is an original composition: Symphony No. 2. This serial work attempts to use both tempo and texture as compositionally viable parameters, along with pitch and rhythm. The piece is divided into four uninterrupted movements. The first movement establishes a pointillist texture as a reference sound for the entire work, which transforms into a rapid toccata section. The two middle movements, an aria and an intermezzo, both use traditional melody-harmony formats. The toccata texture returns at the beginning of the last movement before transforming and ending pointillistically. The second portion of this dissertation is a …

A Survey And Guide To The Most Frequently Programmed Lieder In The Undergraduate Studios Of Selected Major Music Institutions In The United States, Joseph Christopher Turner

Among the many challenges faced by the new collegiate voice teacher is the assigning of appropriate music literature. There are numerous published guides to aid in this area, but they vary greatly. Some provide large amounts of literature and very little information, while others give more information but deal with a predetermined set of songs. What if the young teacher knew the core literature being used by veteran voice teachers from around the country? In order to address this problem, information was gathered from eight major music institutions chosen by a survey of voice faculty at Louisiana State University. At …

Master Of Music Graduate Recital, Teale Lora Burford
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The elements earth, water, fire, and air, are essential for continuing and sustaining life on Earth. They are both life-giving and destructive-bringers of fortune or ruin-in the natural world. Central to this program is an artist's ability to translate these elements into poetic metaphors of the human condition and emotion: burning passion, the fertile soil of the soul, the winds of fortune, and the deep waters of despair. The realization of compositional techniques used to exemplify the four elements and the character communicated by the music is the objective of this recital. This performance involves works from all principle style …

Creating Salsa, Claiming Salsa: Identity, Location, And Authenticity In Global Popular Music, William Guthrie Legrand
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
Although Latin American ethnomusicological scholarship in the last twenty years has addressed much of the Caribbean, particularly Cuba, the popular genre salsa has often been treated as a side project of scholars with other specialties. Much of previous Latin American scholarship has favored nation-based, particularly folkloric, genres, while current trends have largely moved toward either re-engaging nation-based scholarship within postmodern critical contexts or addressing reggaeton as part of the scholarly fascination with global hip-hop culture. Salsa, which has always been created, contested, and claimed. through transnational/global routes, has therefore often been marginalized through its continued association with Latin American musical …
