Report on the 10th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus17)
2018
The 10th annual International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus) took place on September 13–15, 2017, at Queen Mary University of London (UoL). The SysMus series has established itself as an international, student-run conference series aimed at introducing graduate students to networking and discussing their work in an academic conference environment. The term “Systematic Musicology,” first coined by Guido Adler (1885), nowadays covers a wide range of systematic or empirical approaches to theoretical, psychological, neuroscientific, ethnographic, and computational methodologies in music research. Presentations for SysMus17 focused on three central topics in relation t…
Measuring Aksak Rhythm and Synchronization in Transylvanian Village Music by Using Motion Capture
2015
<p>Techniques based on motion capture can be useful in <span><span style="font-size: x-small;">analyzing a wide range of musical styles and practices</span></span>: in this case, Transylvanian village music. We focused on a repertoire known as “Gypsy songs of sorrow”, played by professional Gypsy musicians during parties and celebrations of their own community. Two parameters were the object of study: rhythmic duration, and synchronization between musicians (a violinist and a viola player). Results show that rhythm is a local variant of <em>aksak</em> and is based on two duration units (S=short, L=long) which respect the formula 2:3 &lt; S:L &am…
The 12th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus19)
2020
At the 12th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus19), students from all over the world came together to share and discuss their work spanning this interdisciplinary and diverse field. As a student-led conference, the SysMus series aims to provide a platform whereby early-stage researchers can hone their skills and gain experience in an open and friendly environment. Additionally, keynotes held by Dr. Klaus Frieler (Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt, Weimar) and Dr. Helga de la Motte-Haber (Technische Universität Berlin), as well as workshops on different research tools and approaches, added to the depth and variety of the event. This report provides an overvi…
Motivic Pattern Extraction in Music, and Application to the Study of Tunisian Modal Music
2007
A new methodology for automated extraction of repeated patterns in time-series data is presented, aimed in particular at the analysis of musical sequences. The basic principles consists in a search for closed patterns in a multi-dimensional parametric space. It is shown that this basic mechanism needs to be articulated with a periodic pattern discovery system, implying therefore a strict chronological scanning of the time-series data. Thanks to this modelling global pattern filtering may be avoided and rich and highly pertinent results can be obtained. The modelling has been integrated in a collaborative pro ject between ethnomusicology, cognitive sciences and computer science, aimed at the…
Las Preferencias Musicales de los Estudiantes: hacia un reconocimiento de sus Identidades Culturales
2021
Diversas tradiciones de educación musical crítica sostienen la necesidad de reconocer las identidades de los estudiantes mediante la incorporación curricular de sus preferencias musicales, las cuales pertenecen principalmente a la música popular urbana. Sin embargo, esta todavía no es utilizada de manera generalizada en los diferentes sistemas educativos y es comúnmente rechazada por los docentes, quienes la consideran estéticamente inferior. No obstante, un conocimiento en profundidad de la construcción e implicaciones psicosociales de dichas preferencias podría contribuir a aumentar su inclusión en el ámbito educativo. En este sentido, este artículo realiza una revisión bibliográfica de 1…
Écriture et perception des grandes formes en musique contemporaine et, en particulier, chez Roger Reynolds. « Le cristal et la flamme »
2003
This PhD addresses the issue of musical time and form in the second half of the XXth century with the joint perspective of composition and perception. The first chapter describes composer’s main conceptions of musical time, compositional strategies, functions and formal models, as well as the main musicological theories concerning musical form. The second chapter is devoted to the semiotic square of musical form (definition, typological and syntagmatic approach). The third chapter is dedicated to R. Reynolds’The Angel of Death, a work that allows us to compare writing and perception. The fourth chapter reviews the main studies and theories forged by psychology around this question, and pres…
50 ans de psychologie de la musique
2011
International audience; Il y a cinquante ans paraissait La perception de la musique, ouvrage majeur par lequel Robert Francès instituait une forme novatrice d’approche du fait musical. Son style, sa cohérence scientifique, joints à une assise culturelle et à des intuitions exceptionnelles, lui confèrent une place d’autorité inégalée. Cette oeuvre vaut toujours à Robert Francès un important capital de sympathie et de respect souvent résumé par le titre de « père de la psychologie de la musique française ». L’héritage de La perception de la musiquese doit d’être pensé, débattu et analysé, surtout lorsque cinquante années de recul nous le permettent. C’est là tout le projet de ce recueil. Il r…
Il fascino dell’intuizione femminile: Marie Trautmann (in Jaëll), pianista, pedagoga e ricercatrice
2020
Over the centuries, the differences between genders have led to strong disparities for the assertion of women’s artistic value. In the history of music, in particular, many women musicians did not get the right recognition because of a cultural context that could not enhance their work. This is the case of Marie Trautmann, better known as Marie Jaëll (1846-1925), wife of the Austrian concert pianist Alfred Jaëll (1832-1882). Trautmann is a 19th century woman-musician and an important figure in the history of music still to be discovered, not only for her activity as concert pianist, composer, pedagogue, but mainly for her empirical research work, which aimed at improving the piano technique…
How Music can dominate Space. The Patronage of Music by Religious Orders in 16th- and 17th-century Palermo.
2010
According to the models of the so-called "Urban Musicology", the aim of this paper is to summarize the musical activity promoted by monastic churches between the Renaissance and the Baroque – in particular by the Jesuits – and, by examining data, to reconstruct the musical employees who probably existed in Palermo institutions, financial support for liturgical music and the multiple connections between music, power and social environment.
Musica Urbana. Musica e cerimonie all’aperto nella Palermo di Cinque e Seicento
2012
Il saggio è dedicato al ruolo che ebbero le istituzioni ecclesiastiche - in particolare gli ordini religiosi - nel definire 'musicalmente' uno spazio urbano, quello della Palermo spagnola tra Cinque e Seicento, secondo la prospettiva della recente "Urban Musicology". Proponendo alcune ipotesi di interpretazione sul rapporto tra cerimonia, musica e contesto cittadino, il contributo prende in esame sia le cronache ufficiali che le fonti d'archivio, incentrandosi sulle processioni e su due particolari occasioni festive: il Corpus Domini e il festino di Santa Rosalia.
