Signals of intensification and attenuation in orchestra and choir conduction

2017

Based on a model of communication according to which not only words but also body signals constitute lexicons (Poggi, 2007), the study presented aimes at building a lexicon of conductors’ multimodal behaviours requesting intensification and attenuation of sound intensity. In a corpus of concerts and rehearsals, the conductors’ body signals requesting to play or sing forte, piano, crescendo, diminuendo were analysed through an annotation scheme describing the body signals, their meanings, and their semiotic devices: generic codified (the same as in everyday language); specific codified (shared with laypeople but with specific meanings in conduction); direct iconic, (resemblance between visua…

The triumphal cross of the cathedral of Nevers: painting technique and examination

2019

The large polychrome wooden cross preserved in the Saint-Cyr et Sainte-Julitte cathedral in Nevers was badly damaged during the bombing in July 1944. Restored and put on display on a modern cross in front of the choir, the sculpture suffered a new fall in 2015. The conservation of the work, directed by DRAC-CRMH of Burgundy-Franche-Comté, was preceded by a phase of technical study. Micro-stratigraphic, taxonomic and radiometric analyses and the dendrochronology of the cross were carried out. The dendrochronology of the cross of Nevers and the comparison with radiocarbon dating place the elaboration of the work in the last quarter of the 12th century while confirming the contemporaneousness …

Learning and Synchronising Dance Movements in South African Songs – Cross-cultural Motion-capture Study

2011

Music and dance are human universals. Understanding the communicative nature and the interpersonal dynamics of making music and dancing has a wide area of applications from academic to artistic, educational and therapeutic uses. Cross-cultural and embodied cognitive approaches are important, as they ensure a view across a spectrum of cultural practices and allow us to explore which aspects of cognitive performance are learned and how. In this study, our aims were to use a case study to investigate possible cross-cultural differences in movement, especially corporeal representation of beat and metre; to study group entrainment and factors contributing to synchronisation accuracy. From earli…

La ricostruzione dell'abside in alcuni esempi della seconda metà del XVI secolo a Palermo

2015

Il contributo ha l’obiettivo di studiare alcuni casi di ricostruzione dell’abside eseguiti in edifici chiesastici palermitani nella seconda metà del XVI secolo. Si tratta delle chiese di San Sebastiano, San Francesco d’Assisi e San Martino delle Scale (all’interno dell’omonima abbazia), in cui, nella seconda metà del Cinquecento, per motivi liturgici, l’abside originaria viene “trasformata”, in un’abside “piatta”, al fine di potervi inserire il Coro ligneo. Il nuovo posizionamento del Coro, in conseguenza della Riforma tridentina - problematica centrale nell’Europa di età moderna – suscita, anche in questi casi palermitani, dibattiti e controversie. Il cambiamento della forma dell’abside de…

Z dziejów muzyki kościelnej w Międzylesiu na ziemi kłodzkiej

Muzyka w kościołach Kłodzka - od czasów najdawniejszych do współczesności

2009

Muzyka kościelna przybyła na ziemię kłodzką wraz z chrześcijaństwem. Ważną rolę w krzewieniu kultury muzycznej odegrały kłodzkie zakony. Wszechstronną działalność w tym zakresie prowadzili jezuici, spośród których na uwagę zasługuje kompozytor Simon Praunstein (1571–1624). Kłodzkie kościoły, a w szczególności fara, już od XV wieku dysponowały dobrej klasy organami. Wysoki poziom prezentowali kłodzcy organiści, zwłaszcza Johann Franz Otto (1732–1805), zaliczany do najwybitniejszych organistów Śląska w XVIII wieku. Od końca XVIII wieku w kościele Wniebowzięcia NMP działał chór parafialny. Muzycy kłodzcy należeli też do Związku Cecyliańskiego. Po 1945 roku obserwuje się dalszy rozwój kościelne…

Repertuar liturgiczny w kościele pw. św. Jana Chrzciciela w Jodłowie na podstawie parafialnego inwentarza muzycznego z 1939 r

2019

W artykule opisano liczący 81 pozycji inwentarz muzykaliów kościoła pw. św. Jana Chrzciciela w Jodłowie na ziemi kłodzkiej. Zbiór składał się w większości z łatwych do wykonania utworów przeznaczonych na czterogłosowy chór mieszany z towarzyszeniem orkiestry lub organów. Miejscowy zespół wokalno-instrumentalny dysponował m.in.: 34 mszami (w tym sześcioma za zmarłych), siedmioma zbiorami graduałów i ofertoriów oraz dziewięcioma litaniami. Dużą grupę muzykaliów stanowiły różnego rodzaju opracowania chóralne pieśni kościelnych, zwłaszcza maryjnych i pogrzebowych. Uwagę zwraca obecność kompozytorów kościelnych przełomu XIX i XX w. związanych z ruchem cecyliańskim. Cieszy uwzględnienie twórców ś…

THE CHALLENGES, RISKS AND PROSPECTS OF THE REALISATION OF THE MUSIC METHODOLOGY MODULE OF ONE – YEAR EDUCATION PROGRAMME

2021

The reform of teachers’ education commenced by the Ministry of Education and Science provides an opportunity to obtain a qualification as a teacher within one year, encompassing studies based in a working environment for those who already have higher education. The goal of the research is to identify the challenges, risks and perspectives of the realization of the module “Music methodology” of the study course “Integrated methods in Teaching Culture Understanding and Self-expression in Art” within the one-year study programme “Skolotājs”. The research compared study course plans in music teaching and choir work methodology at two Latvian higher education institutions, as well as at two fore…

Comparison of well-being of older adult choir singers and the general population in Finland: A case-control study

2016

Previous research suggests that singing in a choir as an older adult is associated with better quality of life (QOL). However, the degree to which sociodemographic variables and level of engagement in hobbies contribute to this relationship is largely unknown. The aim of the study was to compare quality of life (QOL) of older adult choir singers with a matched sample of older adults from the general population in Finland, taking into consideration sociodemographic variables, satisfaction with health, and level of engagement in hobbies. Case-control methods were used to match a sample of 109 older adult singers with a sample of 307 older adults from the general population. Tobit regression …
