The Sonic Representation Of Mathematical Data, Charlie Cullen
The Sonic Representation Of Mathematical Data, Charlie Cullen
Doctoral
Conveying data and information using non-speech audio is an ever growing field of research. Existing work has been performed investigating sonfication and its applications, and this research seeks to build upon these ideas while also suggesting new areas of potential. In this research, initial work focused on the sonification of DNA and RNA nucleotide base sequences for analysis. A case study was undertaken into the potential of rhythmic parsing of such data sequences, with test results indicating that a more effective method of representing data in a sonification was required. Sonification of complex data such as DNA and RNA was …
The French Songs Of Lee Hoiby, Scott Lagraff
The French Songs Of Lee Hoiby, Scott Lagraff
LSU Major Papers
Lee Hoiby has written almost a hundred songs, nearly all of them in English, but an interesting and growing subset of his oeuvre is settings of French texts. This document delves deeply into six of them: the sets Three French Songs (formerly Trois Poèmes de Rimbaud, 1982) and Chants d’Exil (2002). The study begins with brief biographical and stylistic synopses, including an examination of the influence of Schubert’s songs on Hoiby’s own. Subsequent chapters include discussions of the poets Arthur Rimbaud and Marcel Osterrieth, analyses of their poetry, and musical analyses of Hoiby's settings, focusing on the relationship between text …
Structural Elegance And Harmonic Disparity In Selected Solos By Jazz Trumpeters Freddie Hubbard And Woody Shaw, Edward Rex Richardson
Structural Elegance And Harmonic Disparity In Selected Solos By Jazz Trumpeters Freddie Hubbard And Woody Shaw, Edward Rex Richardson
LSU Major Papers
Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw were two of the greatest figures in the jazz trumpet pantheon from their emergence in the 1960s until the 1980s. They were both unusual personalities; almost as well known for their volatility as for their instrumental virtuosity and creativity. Their association was characterized by competition and a certain degree of discomfort: Shaw, born nearly seven years after Hubbard, was often compared to his elder in a fashion that seemed to denigrate the younger trumpeter’s originality; he in turn often denied that he’d ever been directly influenced by Hubbard, in what appears to have been an …

The Effect Of Music Tempo On Movement Responses Of Preschool Children, Melanie Woods Alexander
The Effect Of Music Tempo On Movement Responses Of Preschool Children, Melanie Woods Alexander
LSU Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of tempo on movement responses of children ages one to three. For two weeks, 17 children between the ages of 22 and 36 months were videotaped twice per week to observe and measure their movement responses to fast and slow musical stimuli. During these sessions, the children were videotaped in their classrooms, engaged in either free play or in a quiet group activity. The videotaped sessions were then analyzed using a Motor Observation Form. Once all of the tapes had been viewed and scored, overall percentages of movement and no …
Musical Time And Revealed Timelessness, Michael Vincent Blandino
Musical Time And Revealed Timelessness, Michael Vincent Blandino
LSU Master's Theses
Scholarship on musical time recognizes the depiction of timelessness in music as a possibility. However, many theories of musical timelessness center around total stasis as the ideal method for creation of the effect, tolerating relative motion only out of necessity and viewing such motion as a weakening force in this regard. There is little investigation of the interaction between other modes of musical time and the mode of timelessness. Hence, no theory offers a comprehensive expansion of scope to include more complex depictions of timelessness in relation to time. This paper addresses these points, offering a framework for understanding musical …
Summary Of Lecture Recital: Bright Sheng's Selected Chamber Music For Strings: Two Violin Solos, And Two String Quartets, Mei-Mei Wei
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Bright Sheng was born in Shanghai, China, in 1955, and became one of America’s leading composers in the twentieth-century. Bright Sheng’s orchestral music, opera and chamber music is frequently performed throughout the world. His musical language combines Chinese folk music and Western techniques--the meeting of East and West. This essay will discuss Bright Sheng’s The Stream Flows for solo violin (1990), Three Fantasies for Violin and Piano (2006), String Quartet No.3 (1993), and String Quartet No.4 Silent Tempo (2000). These works represent Sheng’s chamber music for strings. This essay will be organized as follows: Chapter 1 will provide Bright Sheng’s …
