Tonal Hierarchies in Jazz Improvisation
1995
Statistical methods were used to investigate 18 bebop-styled jazz improvisations based on the so- called Rhythm Changes chord progression. The data were compared with results obtained by C. L. Krumhansl and her colleagues in empirical tests investigating the perceived stability of the tones in the chromatic scale in various contexts. Comparisons were also made with data on the statistical distribution of the 12 chromatic tones in actual European art music. It was found that the chorus- level hierarchies (measured over a whole chorus) are remarkably similar to the rating profiles obtained in empirical tests and to the relative frequencies of the tones in European art music. The chord- level …
La poetica dei cori di Nelly Sachs
2019
Italian translation from Swedish of Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback essay "La poetica dei cori di Nelly Sachs" which presents a reading of Nelly Sachs’ poetics focusing on how her poetry begins «in the Habitations of Death» as a multitude of choruses inside a chorus in relation to Aristotle’s concept of the tragic chorus and in relation to Diderot’s and Schiller’s poetics of a chorus.

Decoding Group Vocalizations: The Acoustic Energy Distribution of Chorus Howls Is Useful to Determine Wolf Reproduction
2016
Population monitoring is crucial for wildlife management and conservation. In the last few decades, wildlife researchers have increasingly applied bioacoustics tools to obtain information on several essential ecological parameters, such as distribution and abundance. One such application involves wolves (Canis lupus). These canids respond to simulated howls by emitting group vocalizations known as chorus howls. These responses to simulated howls reveal the presence of wolf litters during the breeding period and are therefore often used to determine the status of wolf populations. However, the acoustic structure of chorus howls is complex and discriminating the presence of pups in a chorus i…
Una aproximación a la Electra de Sófocles desde el prólogo y la párodos
2008
Sófocles se esfuerza por lograr una integración mayor del coro en la acción dramática, a la vez que focaliza la acción del héroe en el marco en el que éste se mueve. En los primeros versos de esta tragedia, en particular en el prólogo y en la párodos, a través de las estructuras iterativas, podemos vislumbrar las claves de los conflictos profundos de esta saga que aflorarán finalmente en la forma de matricidio. Y desde esos primeros versos, esas claves se proyectan a otros lugares de la tragedia formando un tejido complejo que arroja no poca luz sobre ella. Sophocles strove to bring about a greater integration of the chorus into the dramatic action at the same time as he focused the action …
Intermedio and Chorus. Re-thinking Theories and Practices in Sixteenth-Century Italian Theatre
2017
L'articolo mette a confronto le teorie fiorite nel corso del sedicesimo secolo sull'uso del coro e dell'intermedio nei tre generi teatrali dell'epoca (tragedia, commedia, favola pastorale). L'esame rivela che, lungi dall'uniformarsi agli asserti dei letterati pieni di riferimenti alle poetiche di Aristotele e Orazio, gli uomini di teatro paragonarono spesso l'intermedio al coro di ispirazione classica. La definizione di "coro intercalare" e di "coro istrione", avanzata da Ottavio Magnanini nel 1614, si può applicare alle tragedie di alcuni celebri autori del secolo precedente che accostarono il coro tragico all'intermedio, corrompendo in parte il ruolo drammatico del primo a favore della sp…
Sex-ratio and male sexual characters in a population of Blue tits Parus caeruleus
2005
Sex allocation theory proposes that parents should bias the sex ratio of their offspring if the reproductive value of one sex is greater than that of the other. In the monogamous blue tit (Parus caeruleus), males have a greater variance in reproductive success than females, and high-quality males have higher reproductive success than high-quality females due to extrapair paternity. Consequently, females mating with attractive males are expected to produce broods biased toward sons, as sons benefit more than daughters from inheriting their father’s characteristics. Song and plumage color in birds are secondary sexual characters indicating male quality and involved in female choice. We used t…
Adaptive significance of synchronous chorusing in an acoustically signalling wolf spider
2004
Synchronous sexual signalling is a behavioural phenomenon that has received considerable theoretical interest, but surprisingly few empirical tests have been conducted. Here, we present a set of experiments designed to determine (i) whether the sexual signalling of the drumming wolf spider Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata is synchronous, and (ii) whether the synchrony may have evolved through female preference. Using controlled playback experiments, we found that males actively synchronized their drumming bouts with other males and females significantly preferred closely synchronized drumming clusters compared with loose clusters. In loose clusters, the first drumming signals attracted the most fe…
Euripides’Andromache, a Choral Tragedy
2013
Andrómaca es una tragedia coral por diversas razones: por el papel tan singular que el coro desempeña en ella desde el comienzo mismo; y porque en ella, a través de dos mujeres enfrentadas, Andrómaca y Hermíone, convergen en la trama dramática una serie de parejas/tríos que marcan el discurrir de unas sagas épico-dramáticas de gran rendimiento en la tradición cultural y literaria griega. Es también una tragedia coral porque en ella se alcanza el destino fi nal de las dos partes implicadas en la mayor guerra mítica de la Antigüedad. Andromache is a choral tragedy because the singular role of the chorus in the whole play and because in its plot there is a group of couples/trios, which lead th…
