La videoripresa come necessità cognitiva. Il caso dei canti per la battitura del gesso in Sicilia
2021
I canti dei gessai siciliani non sono mai stati documentati nella letteratura etnografica. Esistevano solo alcune audioregistrazioni realizzate fra il 1954 e il 1988. Il testo analizza tutte le fonti disponibili, riviste attraverso l'esperienza di ricerca direttamente condotta dall'autore, che nel 1993 filma per la prima volta l'azione dei gessai ritmata dal canto. Grazie alla videodocumentazione è stato possibile comprendere l'esatta relazione che si determina fra canto e dinamica ergologica. The work songs of Sicilian gypsum miners have never been documented in ethnographic literature. There were only a few audio recordings made between 1954 and 1988. The text analyzes all available sourc…
Fautes musicales et fautes textuelles dans les lais lyriques transmis par les chansonniers du Roi (M) et de Noailles (T)
2020
In this contribution we shall present some anomalies in the musical notation of the anonymous lyric lais transmitted by French chansonniers M and T (i.e. Kievrefoil, Markiol and Nompar), which share the same source, and to which a recently discovered chansonnier fragment (Bo) can be added. The plural attestation of these heterostrophic texts allows to nuance the strict notion of musical error, advocated by John H. Marshall for this very corpus. Finally, we discuss an interesting case (Nompar, str. X) where musical notation can effectively help the reconstruction of a text corrupted in both witnesses.
Individual Decisions and Perceived Form in Collective Free Improvisation
2015
International audience; This paper proposes a first attempt to study quantitatively Collective Free Improvisation (CFI). We report an experiment designed to study the relationship between the improvisers’ individual high-level decisions and the improvisation’s form perceived by external auditors. We recorded 16 trios in which the improvisers used a MIDI-pedal to indicate in real-time a significant change in their own musical production. Expert listeners were later asked to segment each improvisation so that we obtained their perception of the structure. By analysing the correlations between musicians’ individual decisions and listeners’ segmentation points, we discuss how the improvisation’…
Visualization in comparative music research
2007
Computational analysis of large musical corpora provides an approach that overcomes some of the limitations of manual analysis related to small sample sizes and subjectivity. The present paper aims to provide an overview of the computational approach to music research. It discusses the issues of music representation, musical feature extraction, digital music collections, and data mining techniques. Moreover, it provides examples of visualization of large musical collections.
The soundscape of the ceremonies for the beatification of St Teresa of Ávila in the Crown of Aragon, 1614
2015
[EN] The beatification of Saint Teresa of Ávila in October 1614 gave rise to widespread celebrations in many of the cities and towns of the Iberian Peninsula. Printed relaciones describing these celebrations, despite their limitations —in terms of political agenda, propaganda, rivalry and literary style— can nevertheless provide information about musical experience and can help to recreate the ephemeral soundscapes of these events. This article will focus on the ceremonies held in the Crown of Aragon, especially Saragossa and Barcelona, taking into consideration the typology of different musics —heraldic, divine and festive— and factors such as the moment in time, function, dynamic, urban s…
Triumphus musicae. Contributions musicales et spectacles éphémères en l’honneur de Charles III à Palerme (1735)
2017
L'articolo esamina le notizie musicali connesse ai festeggiamenti per l'incoronazione a Palermo nel 1735 di Carlo III di Borbone. In particolare si seguono le fasi fondamentali delle celebrazioni, partendo dagli eventi musicali promossi dal viceré duca di Montemar e da altri nobili palermitani prima dell'arrivo del sovrano, per poi spostarsi all'evento vero e proprio. L'attenzione si concentra quindi sulla serenata ai Quattro Canti per l'entrata trionfale, sugli spettacoli musicali organizzati nel 'Teatrino' della Marina e infine sulle sontuose musiche eseguite durante l'incoronazione in cattedrale.
Music, Religious Communities, and the Urban Dimension: Sound Experiences in Palermo in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
2018
Negli ultimi anni la ricerca musicologica ha rinnovato il proprio interesse nei confronti delle istituzioni musicali palermitane, sottolineando l'importanza della ricerca d'archivio per condurre a una ricostruzione del modo concreto in cui la musica risuonava in un contesto specifico. Questo approccio parte da una visione che considera l'elemento musicale quale componente essenziale dell'esperienza urbana, secondo i modelli della cosiddetta 'Urban Musicology' che riconosce la funzione svolta da tutti i luoghi di un dato spazio, non soltanto dalle grandi chiese con le loro cappelle musicali, ma anche dalle istituzioni meno in vista. In questa prospettiva occorre considerare il concetto di “s…

The European Hard Rock and Heavy Metal live music market A closer look at the development of emerging bands through live performing
2015
Masteroppgave Music management- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 The present study is set out to provide a better understanding of the current situation regarding career development in terms of live performing for emerging Hard Rock / Heavy Metal (HR/HM) bands in Europe, and to find out how these bands have been impacted by changes in the live-music economy. Previous research conducted concerning the live music industry mostly consists of overall figures and general turnover over years. Such research is segmented only by country, and mainly focused on the United States, United Kingdom or Europe as a whole. It also focuses on the economies of the so-called “Super Stars”. This particular study pre…
