Music And The Migrant: A Transnational Account Of Cumbia, Irene L. Mekus

This paper looks into the cultural synthesization and the transnational ties of cumbia between Latin America and the United States. Three case studies look at the story of migrants and their transnational ties through cumbia and are analyzed through an ethnomusicology framework.
From The Five-Key Flute To The Boehm Flute: Exploring Structural Differences And Recreating Idiomatic Performance Practices In Cuban Charanga-Based Genres., Ernesto Fernandez
From The Five-Key Flute To The Boehm Flute: Exploring Structural Differences And Recreating Idiomatic Performance Practices In Cuban Charanga-Based Genres., Ernesto Fernandez
Open Access Dissertations
A historical background of the Cuban charanga dance genres and the Cuban flute tradition of the wooden five-key flute are explored, including musical terminology, instrumentation, and prominent charanga flutists. The structural differences between the nineteenth-century wooden five-key flute and the Boehm metal system flute are examined using specific measurements and diagrams. The stylistic and idiomatic consequences of these structural differences were considered. It was considered that the Boehm system flute provides more musical resources through its ease of use and mechanical facility. Professional flutists from different generations with years of experience in the style were consulted; multiple recordings were analyzed, …

The Gĩkũyũ Mũtũrĩrũ: Preserving A Piece Of Kenya's Agrarian Past Through Flute Music, Jennifer Larue
The Gĩkũyũ Mũtũrĩrũ: Preserving A Piece Of Kenya's Agrarian Past Through Flute Music, Jennifer Larue
Masters Theses
The Agĩkũyũ people of Kenya are one of the largest people groups in Kenya. However, systematic repression of Gĩkũyũ culture led to many traditional elements being forgotten, put aside, if not lost completely. The mũtũrĩrũ, a bark flute used when herding and in certain ritual dances, was one such element. The mũtũrĩrũ was initially a temporary instrument, which evolved into more permanent bamboo versions. These may have between two and six finger holes. Another version, called a "spider web mũtũrĩrũ" has no finger holes but has a paper membrane over one end to create a buzzing timbre effect. Research was …

Examination of indigenous religious beliefs describe the behaviors, values, and symbols that permeate Dagara life.

Graverobber, Individualized Chorus: The Greek Chorus Reinterpreted In Repo! The Genetic Opera, Grace Markulin
Graverobber, Individualized Chorus: The Greek Chorus Reinterpreted In Repo! The Genetic Opera, Grace Markulin
The Downtown Review: An Interdisciplinary Journal Written and Peer-Reviewed by Mandel Honors College Students at Cleveland State University
The rock opera film Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) provides its audience with details regarding the film’s setting and perspectives on the morality of the film’s plot through the character Graverobber, whose sung dialogue expresses this information. Graverobber’s penchant for scene-setting and moralizing within the film classifies the character as a Greek chorus according to the parameters of the Greek chorus in antiquity and modern interpretations of the chorus in twentieth-century musical theater, but the character’s visual distinctiveness, preexisting relationship with an established character, and prominent use of solo vocal lines throughout his sung dialogue demonstrates a degree of individuation …

Making A Mess Of Everything: Excursions Through Communities, Musics, Academics, Longing, And Belonging, Kiera Galway, Deanna Yerichuk
Music Faculty Publications
This project—what we have termed a collaborative autoethnographic mapping project—grew out of conversations between two researchers who also work as choral conductors and teachers in community contexts. We found ourselves constantly struggling with the stubborn fact that we, as community musicians, engage in the very practices that we, as academics, critique. As we considered our roles as musicians and academics, we quickly realized that who we are is deeply entwined with where we are and who we are with. While we initially considered only the relationship between our professional roles as academics and musicians, we also began to realize that …

Mission In Evolving Cultures: Constructively Managing Music-Related Conflict In Cross-Cultural Church Planting Contexts, David R. Dunaetz
Mission In Evolving Cultures: Constructively Managing Music-Related Conflict In Cross-Cultural Church Planting Contexts, David R. Dunaetz
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
The choice of music, an essential element of worship and church life, must be addressed in cross-cultural church planting contexts. As cultures evolve, church planters are faced with choices about musical styles that may lead to interpersonal conflicts within the church. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine factors that may enable cross-cultural church planters to constructively manage music-related conflicts when they arise. Members of church plants, like all people, have various goals when entering into such conflicts. They are concerned about the content of the conflict (i.e., the musical style) and thus have content goals. They are …

Over a seven month period in 2015, My Baryo My Borough, a community-based arts and oral history project, partnered with Queens Memory, the Queens Library’s local history project, to collaboratively document the Filipino and Filipino-American communities in Queens, NY. My Baryo, My Borough and Queens Memory worked with the Filipino-American community to collect oral history recordings and digitize photographs from the local Filipino-American experience. Central to our success was a shared understanding that our partnership was building mutual legitimacy and trust, creating local capacity and shared ownership, and centering leadership for the project within the Filipino-American community in Queens.
