La música como medio de intervención con niños en situación de exclusión social elevada. Del sentimiento de exclusión al bálsamo musical
2017
Nuestra aportación presenta una experiencia innovadora desde el ámbito musical en la etapa de educación Infantil y en niños con riesgo elevado de exclusión social. Niños con pocos recursos materiales, de diferentes edades y culturas, en una misma aula y en un ambiente de complejidad creciente que pone de manifiesto la privación de los derechos humanos más fundamentales. La música es una herramienta muy válida para superar situaciones adversas, resultando ser a veces la mejor medicina natural y de fácil acceso. Quizá sea porque una mezcla de melodías alegres nos genere un movimiento hacia el lado positivo de la vida. Es un lenguaje universal que no entiende de razas ni clases sociales. Esta …
Effects of Global and Local Contexts on Harmonic Expectancy
1998
Several psycholinguistic studies have investigated the influence of local and global semantic contexts on word processing. The first aim of the present study was to examine local and global level contributions to harmonic priming. The second was to test a spreading-activation account of harmonic context effects (Bharucha, 1987). The expectations for the last chord (the target) of eight-chord sequences were varied by simultaneously manipulating the harmonic relationship of the target to the first six chords (global context) and to the seventh chord (local context). Human performances demonstrated that harmonic expectancies are derived from both the global and local levels of musical structur…
What makes music emotionally significant? Exploring the underlying mechanisms
2013
A common approach to study emotional reactions to music is to attempt to obtain direct links between musical surface features such as tempo and a listener’s response. However, such an analysis ultimately fails to explain why emotions are aroused in the listener. In this article, we propose an alternative approach, which seeks to explain musical emotions in terms of a set of underlying mechanisms that are activated by different types of information in musical events. We illustrate this approach by reporting a listening experiment, which manipulated a piece of music to activate four mechanisms: brain stem reflex; emotional contagion; episodic memory; and musical expectancy. The musical excer…
Role of expectancy in physiological responses to sound recognition of musical dissonance and timbral change
2021
Recently, it has been suggested that tonal violations produce greater skin conductance response (SCR) than timbral violations in music listening. However, it is unknown how people focus their attention during musical excerpts. The aim of this study is to replicate previous research considering two psychophysiological mechanisms: prediction error and brain stem reflex. Twenty-seven nonmusicians were instructed to listen six melodies and detect three altered conditions in one note: a dissonance (note out-of-key), a timbral change, and dissonance which changes in timbre and tone ( timdis). Amplitudes of SCR, heart rate (HR), and respiration rate (RSPR) were analyzed. In addition, the frequenc…
Die Hand des Musikers - Musikphysiologische und musikermedizinische Aspekte
2000
Musicians are particularly demanding hand patients. Increased expectancy towards the hand surgeon as well as principle aversion to any kind of operative treatment of the musician's hand impede the relationship between hand surgeon and patient. Knowledge and experience of the specific demands towards the musician's hand--including the background of basics in physiology of music making and instrumental techniques--facilitate history taking, examinations, diagnosing as well as the selection of therapy. Besides tendinitis and tendovaginitis, pathologies of the musician's hand are not more frequent compared to the entire population. Still several pathologies reach a significantly pronounced impo…
Évaluation d'une expérimentation d'activités musicales en Grande Section maternelle
1994
Une évaluation d'une expérimentation d'activités musicales conduite en grande section de maternelle montre que les enfants qui ont bénéficié d'un enseignement musical spécifique (de 2 ou 4 h hebdomadaires) ont réalisé des performances scolaires supérieures à ceux qui étaient scolarisés dans les classes témoins. Ces résultats valent sur les acquis de fin de grande section mais aussi de façon plus convaincante sur les scores en lecture et en mathématiques en fin de cours préparatoire. Au-delà des effets moyens observés, il apparaît que certains élèves, ceux dont les acquis étaient les plus faibles en début de grande section, les élèves étrangers et ceux qui n'ont pas bénéficié d'une scolarisa…
Effects of the Big Five and musical genre on music-induced movement
2010
Nine-hundred-and-fifty-two individuals completed the Big Five Inventory, and 60 extreme scorers were presented with 30 music excerpts from six popular genres. Music-induced movement was recorded by an optical motion-capture system, the data from which 55 postural, kinematic, and kinetic movement features were computed. These features were subsequently reduced to five principal components of movement representing Local Movement, Global Movement, Hand Flux, Head Speed, and Hand Distance. Multivariate Analyses revealed significant effects on these components of both personality and genre, as well as several interactions between the two. Each personality dimension was associated with a differen…
Elites, communities and the limited benefits of mentorship in electronic music
2020
AbstractWhile the emergence of success in creative professions, such as music, has been studied extensively, the link between individual success and collaboration is not yet fully uncovered. Here we aim to fill this gap by analyzing longitudinal data on the co-releasing and mentoring patterns of popular electronic music artists appearing in the annual Top 100 ranking of DJ Magazine. We find that while this ranking list of popularity publishes 100 names, only the top 20 is stable over time, showcasing a lock-in effect on the electronic music elite. Based on the temporal co-release network of top musicians, we extract a diverse community structure characterizing the electronic music industry.…
Monteverdi in the garden: L'Incoronazione di Poppea in Fascist Florence
2022
On June 3, 1937, in the amphitheatre of the Boboli Gardens in Florence, L’incoronazione di Poppea by Claudio Monteverdi was performed by an ensemble of remarkable artists. It was the first stage performance of the opera in Italy in modern times. This article aims to reconstruct the historical context and details of this performance, which can be considered emblematic in many ways of the reception of ancient music in Italy in those years. In the first part I will discuss this performance in the context of Fascist Florence, showing how it served to celebrate Florence’s cultural primacy. In the second part, I will deal with L'incoronazione's prior performances in Italy and abroad. In the third…
Enhancing genre-based measures of music preference by user-defined liking and social tags
2012
Musical preferences are typically determined by asking participants to indicate their favourite musical genres. These genre-based measures have some considerable pitfalls, since specific pieces of music in a genre might be liked more than the genre itself, and finding consensus to define a genre is often a challenging task. The aims of the present study were to (1) assess how effective genre-based measures are at identifying musical preferences, by comparing them to free responses; (2) demonstrate how the fit can be improved between the genre-based measures and sampled population; and (3) suggest and evaluate methods that use lists of liked and disliked artists to define musical preference…
