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 internationalization of musical life at the end of the nineteenth century in modernized Paris and Rome
2013
ABSTRACT:This article examines the relationship between the processes of urban renovation in European capitals and the internationalization of musical theatre productions, using the example of theatres constructed in Paris and Rome at the end of the nineteenth century. Due to the limited availability of governmental and municipal funding, the more popular theatres in both capitals came to provide an important space for musical productions on an avant-garde level, with international repertoires and casts.
Through the Eyes of an Entangled Teacher: When Classical Musical Instrument Performance Tuition in Higher Education is Subject to Quality Assurance
2020
What happens when a classical music instrument performance course at a Norwegian state university study programme is assessed for quality following a standardized procedure? The article explores frictions and negotiations between managerial quality assurance and classical music performance education in a contextual sense, focusing particularly on the teacher-student relation. I employ my own experience as an instrument performance teacher in a Western Classical Music performance study programme while drawing on state acts, regulations, managerial processes, educational politics, funding, and classical music performance education’s habitus and heritage. I begin by addressing the institution …

The origins of the aesthetic enjoyment of music - A review of the literature
2009
Listeners attribute a positive or negative value to music. This aesthetic experience is known to be observable over the individuals’ entire life span, from early childhood to old age, and in every culture. It is then often concluded that such an aesthetic experience constitutes part of the human nature, having an important biological foundation. This assumption leads to the question of how aesthetic experience of music originated in the biological evolution. In this paper, we will explore this question in the light of evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, and systems neuroscience. After reviewing the existing proposals, we conclude that the explanation of the origin of aesthetic expe…
Facilitadores en el procesamiento cognitivo de la información rítmica
2021
Rhythm perception models have studied an important variety of general characteristics of temporal structures and specific elements of musical rhythm, presenting a degree of heterogeneity in study objects. However, most of the research converges in the study of processes related to the listener's detection of an underlying temporal pulse. This, along with other processes such as temporal grouping, have been referred to as basic or primitive aspects, since they seem fundamental to the perception of simple rhythmic sequences. In the present work, a review of the literature in which research findings related to the cognitive processing of basic rhythmic aspects are described, synthesized and re…

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry characterization of the varnish and glue of an ancient 18th century double bass.
2007
A GC–MS investigation is conducted on the double bass “Panormus”, property of Conservatorio di Musica “Vincenzo Bellini” in Palermo. The most important components of the varnish (fatty acids) and of the glue (proteinaceous amino acids), with which the musical instrument was treated in the past, are determined. The analyses are carried out by prior derivatization of fatty acids by acidic methanol and of amino acids by acidic methanol and trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA). Analytes identification is achieved by direct comparison with several reference materials and the use of a digitized library.
