Le cappelle musicali a Palermo tra Cinque e Seicento: nuovi documenti sulla Palatina
2017
Individuare le cappelle musicali operanti a Palermo fra Rinascimento e Barocco non è certo un compito facile. Se guardiamo al contesto della produzione musicale, non possiamo non riconoscere il ruolo vitale svolto dagli ordini religiosi nel promuovere e diffondere attivamente la musica in tutti gli strati sociali. Difatti, tali comunità erano coinvolte in modo più o meno continuativo nella promozione delle attività musicali, spesso attraverso il contributo delle cappelle di musica. Eppure, nella Palermo di Cinque e Seicento, gli organici musicali operanti nelle istituzioni ecclesiastiche assumevano forme fluide e non codificate. Nonostante ciò, numerose fonti alludono alla presenza di corpi…
The reciprocal link between music and movement studied through music-induced movements
2014
Music and movement are inseparable. The movements that are spontaneously procuded when listening to music are thought to be related to the close relationship between the perceptual and motor system in listeners. This particular link is the main topic of this thesis. A first approach was focused on the impact of music-induced movements on music cognition. In two studies, we show that moving along to music neither enhances the retention of new musical pieces (Study 1) nor the retention of the contextual information related to their encoding (Study 2). These results suggest a shallow processing inherent to the expression of musical affordances required for the production of music-induced movem…
Affective reactions to musical stimuli reflect emotional use of music in everyday life
2013
Music is a common means for regulating affective states in everyday life, but little is known about the individual differences in this behaviour. We investigated affective reactions to musical stimuli as an explanatory factor. Forty-four young adults rated self-selected music regarding perceived and felt emotions, preference, pleasantness and beauty. The ratings were reduced into five factors representing affective response tendencies. The participants also filled in the Music in Mood Regulation (MMR) questionnaire assessing seven music-related mood regulation strategies in everyday life. High beauty and pleasantness ratings for liked music correlated with the use of music for inducing str…
La música de lo invisible: modelos iconográficos en el Saint François d'Assise de Olivier Messiaen
2016
Saint François d’Assise (1983) es la única ópera del compositor francés Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992). El presente artículo propone un estudio de las referencias iconográficas que sirvieron a Messiaen de modelo para la caracterización musical y escenográfica de los principales protagonistas de la ópera: San Francisco, el ángel y el leproso. A través de la observación y del análisis de los frescos, las pinturas y los grabados de Giotto, Cimabue, Fra Angélico, Maurice Denis y Mathias Grünewald, desvelamos la especial significación de los personajes que se manifiesta a través del sonido y del color como una unidad. Saint François d’Assise is the only opera written by French composer Olivier Mes…
Armonie oltremontane nella Conca d’Oro: alcune considerazioni su musicisti stranieri a Palermo in Età Moderna
2022
Il presente contributo intende dimostrare l’importanza dei musicisti stranieri (spagnoli, fiamminghi, borgognoni) nel contesto musicale palermitano, in particolare nel periodo compreso tra gli inizi del XV e la prima metà del XVII secolo. Si analizzerà la loro presenza in Sicilia e il modo in cui si mossero attraverso l’isola, per poi concentrarsi sul caso specifico della Cappella Palatina – principale istituzione ecclesiastica del territorio –, e sull’attività dei musicisti al suo interno. L’esempio della Palatina permetterà di mettere in luce il ruolo di Palermo come crocevia culturale tra la Sicilia e la Spagna, nonché i legami della Palatina con le principali istituzioni religiose della…
Music in Mood Regulation: Initial Scale Development
2008
Music is recognized as an effective means of regulating mood. However, there has not been a scale for assessing the use of different regulatory strategies related to musical activities, and the purpose of the current study was to construct such a scale. A survey study (N = 1515) was conducted with 10–20-year old adolescents. The measurement model of the scale for assessing the use of music for mood regulation was based on a previous theoretical model about the use of music for mood regulation in adolescence. A series of confirmatory factor analyses in the survey data supported the measurement model, and a 40-item scale for Music in Mood Regulation (MMR) was established. In addition, the re…
Génèse et évolution des compétences des élèves à la fin de l'école maternelle : éléments d'analyse à partir de données de panel et d'une expérimentat…
2012
We propose to study in this thesis, a key issue and relatively little discussed in the French research in educational sciences, it concerns the genesis of pupil learning and their evolution during the tuition. We mobilize a longitudinal data (Panel 1997) and the results of a musical experimentation in kindergarten to answer to these questions: How are structured the first acquisitions of pupils and how is it linked to the school context and socio-economic variables? How the cognitive abilities of students affect their academic performance? Are specific activities can improve academic skills through an increase in cognitive abilities? Implicative analysis conducted on panel data has revealed…
A music educational daily program to develop cognitive abilities among pre-school children: a way to prevent academic failure?
2011
The idea that "music makes you smarter" and promotes verbal skills (Ho et al., 2003; Forgeard and al. 2000), spatiotemporal capacities (Rauscher and Zupan 2000) or even the QI (Schellenberg 2006) has received attention from general public and researchers. In this study we examined the effects of music training on pre-school and school performance of kindergarten children, in particular the early writing skills. One main question is investigated: what are the benefits of a specific music program for the cognitive abilities development on preschooler children (age 5)? Is it a way to prevent academic failure? We test this hypothesis with a large sample of 487 French preschoolers split up into …
Does a musical program improve the development of cognitive abilities on kindergarten students: a French experience?
2011
The idea that "music makes you smarter" and promotes both cognitive skills as verbal skills (Ho et al., 2003; Forgeard and al. 2000), spatiotemporal capacities (Rauscher and Zupan 2000), school performances (Wetter et al. 2009) or even boost the IQ (Schellenberg, 2004, 2006) has received attention from researchers and general public. In this study we examined the effects of music practice on pre-school and school performance of kindergarten children, in particular concerning early writing skills. Here, one main question is investigated: what are the benefits of a specific music program in the curriculum for the cognitive abilities development on preschooler children (age 5)?
Il Suono, Il Silenzio, l'Ascolto. La musica di Salvatore Sciarrino dagli anni Sessanta a oggi
2018
Per la novità della concezione del suono, la pioneristica attenzione alle leggi della percezione e dell’ascolto, il rilevante contributo nel campo della vocalità e del teatro musicale, Salvatore Sciarrino (Palermo, 1947) è uno dei protagonisti del panorama musicale contemporaneo. Tra i compositori italiani viventi è il più noto ed eseguito. Trasmutare alchemicamente il suono, rigenerare la percezione sono i suoi obiettivi. La sua musica, spesso ai confini tra suono e silenzio, implica il superamento dei tradizionali modi di suonare e conduce alla perdita dei comuni schemi di ascolto. Oltre che della maggior parte dei libretti delle proprie opere, è autore di una ricca produzione di articoli…
