Lejtmotyw Miłosierdzia Bożego w kulturze muzycznej od średniowiecza do współczesności

2017

Lejtmotyw miłosierdzia Bożego jest obecny w kulturze muzycznej wszystkich epok, od czasów średniowiecza, gdzie był obecny w śpiewach gregoriańskich, aż po czasy współczesne. Fundamentem śpiewów, powstałych na przestrzeni wieków, były najczęściej teksty biblijne sławiące tajemnicę miłosierdzia Bożego i Bożej łaskawości. Sposób wyrażenia lejtmotywu miłosierdzia Bożego zależał od zespolenia warstwy tekstu ze współczynnikami muzycznego stylu danej epoki, a także od duchowości i oblicza mistyki danej epoki. Obecnie jesteśmy świadkami powstania wielu kompozycji zawierających lejtmotyw miłosierdzia Bożego. Ma to związek z intensywnie rozwijającym się w ostatnich latach – zwłaszcza za pontyfikatu ś…

Madrigali esemplari: analitica gesualdiana prospettica

2008

Il saggio presenta una riflessione su come accostarsi analiticamente ai madrigali di Carlo Gesualdo da Vemosa. Nella prima parte del saggio è presentata una rassegna critica dei contributi più significativi all'analisi gesualdina, comparsi nel Novecento. Nella seconda parte viene discussa l'analisi di madrigali gesualdiani condotta da Padre Giambattista Martini nel suo "Esemplare" (1774-1775), e ne vengono evidenziati gli aspetti che si rivelano ancora utili all'approccio analitico contemporaneo.

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…

My emotions expressed by music

2014

Improvisational psychodynamic music therapy (IPMT) has been demonstrated by Erkkilä et al. (2011) to be effective in the treatment for people suffering from depression. For the purpose of a mixed methods research design all musical improvisations have been captured electronically, the therapist’s notes have been standardized, and the sessions have been recorded and saved. Furthermore, the research team of the university of Jyväskylä has developed a computational analysis software, called Music Therapy Toolbox (MTTB). The purpose of this master’s thesis was to investigate two improvisations from one case in-depth, through the use of the MTTB software. The findings are presented, as well as t…

La serenata a Palermo alla fine del Seicento e il duca di Uceda

Attraverso documenti inediti, si prende in esame l'attività musicale sviluppatasi in Sicilia sotto il viceré Uceda (1687-1696), con particolare riferimento al genere musicale della serenata ed agli apparati scenografici realizzati dall'architetto Giacomo Amato.

Relaxed and connected: Insights into the emotional–motivational constituents of musical pleasure

2018

Music is a source of daily pleasure, and positive emotional experiences and rewarding functions of music have been actively studied. Yet, knowledge about the interrelatedness of emotional and motivational constituents of musical pleasure is sparse. This study explored the characteristic emotional contents of music-induced pleasure, their relation to motivations for music and whether the underlying dimensionality of these aspects was specific to music (in comparison to the visual domain). Data were collected through an online questionnaire ( N = 464), measuring evoked emotions and motivational pleasure types that the respondents related to a musical piece or a visual object inducing pleasur…

2021

Post-tonal music often poses perceptual and cognitive challenges for listeners, potentially related to the use of relatively uncommon and unfamiliar musical material and compositional processes. As a basic compositional device, repetition affects memory for music and is structured by composers in very different ways across tonal and post-tonal musical repertoires. Of particular concern is whether post-tonal music exhibits mnemonic affordances that allow listeners to experience a sense of global coherence, and whether repetition correlates strongly with aesthetic judgment. Although previous research suggests that repetition impacts aesthetic preference, empirical research has not mapped out …

Virtual Acoustic Reconstruction of the Church at the Lost Monastery of Santa Maria de la Murta

2014

Archeological acoustics is a part of acoustics that studies ancient environments which were dedicated (completely or partly) to sound performing. The combination of this acoustic area in conjunction with room acoustics enables the study of the acoustic evolution of existing buildings (in terms of the historical documentation) or even, make the acoustic reconstruction of rooms which were destroyed or they are in a bad state or in ruins. In this work, an acoustical reconstruction of the church of the Hieronymites’ monastery of the Murta from the XIV century, in Alzira, Spain has been developed. This building was abandoned in 1836 and now is in ruins. The work develops a geometrical model, tog…

A functional MRI study of happy and sad emotions in music with and without lyrics

2011

Musical emotions, such as happiness and sadness, have been investigated using instrumental music devoid of linguistic content. However, pop and rock, the most common musical genres, utilize lyrics for conveying emotions. Using participants’ self-selected musical excerpts, we studied their behavior and brain responses to elucidate how lyrics interact with musical emotion processing, as reflected by emotion recognition and activation of limbic areas involved in affective experience. We extracted samples from subjects’ selections of sad and happy pieces and sorted them according to the presence of lyrics. Acoustic feature analysis showed that music with lyrics differed from music without lyric…
