Development Processes

Настоящий материал продолжает серию публикаций лекций Рейна Лаула по анализу музыки в Санкт-Петербургской (Ленинградской) консерватории. Шестая лекция завершает обзор приемов разработочного развития музыкального материала. В нее вошли шесть из двадцати пяти приемов в авторской классификации (эпизодическая тема, производная тема, варьирование, полифонические варианты, приемы подвижного контрапункта, полифонические структуры), способствующей систематизации разработочных процессов. В поле зрения автора включены неспецифически сонатные способы преобразования музыкального материала, благодаря чему сонатность предстает в гибком и взаимодополняющем взаимодействии с иными принципами формообразования. Особое внимание уделено специфике применения полифонических средств развития музыкального материала в контексте сонатного формообразования. В ходе детального рассмотрения финала симфонии В. А. Моцарта Юпитер оказываются тесно связанными технологический, композиционно-драматургический и стилевой аспекты становления музыкальной формы. Заключительный раздел, обобщающий содержание лекции в целом, содержит пример практического применения предлагаемой автором методологии. Тем самым доказывается ее целесообразность и высокая эффективность как в аспекте анализа интонационной драматургии музыкального произведения, так и в достижении главной аналитической цели в формировании объективного представления о содержательной сути каждого этапа в развёртывании музыкальной композиции. This material continues the series of publications of R. H. Lauls lectures on music analysis at the Leningrad (Saint Petersburg) Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory. The sixth lecture concludes the review of techniques for developing musical material. It discusses six of the twenty-five techniques in the authors classification (episodic theme, derived theme, variation, polyphonic variants, mobile counterpoint techniques, polyphonic structures), which contributes to systematization of the development processes. The authors field of view includes non-specific Sonata methods of transforming the musical material, so that sonateness appears in a flexible and complementary interaction with other principles of formation. Special attention is paid to the specifics of using polyphonic means of developing musical material in the context of Sonata formation. The detailed examination of the finale of Mozarts Symphony Jupiter, shows that technological, compositional, dramatic, and stylistic aspects of the formation of a musical form appear to be closely related. The final section summarizing the content of the lecture as a whole contains an example of practical application of the methodology proposed by the author, proving its expediency and high efficiency not only in the aspect of analyzing the intonation drama of a musical work, but also of achieving the main analytical goal to form a reasoned judgment about the content of each stage in the deployment of a musical composition.

Purpose In this child–parent research study, three adolescents theorize their meaning-making experiences while engaged in exclusive online learning during a three-month stay-at-home mandate. The purpose of this study is to highlight youth-created understandings about their literacy practices during COVID-19 in order to expand possibilities for youth-generated theory. Design/methodology/approach This child–parent research builds upon a critical dialectical pluralist (CDP) methodology, which is a participatory research method that looks to privilege the child as a co-researcher at every stage of the inquiry. In this research study, the adolescents work together to explore what it means to create and learn alone and then with others via virtual platforms. Research team discussions initially were scaffolded by the parent–researchers, and the adolescents developed their analyses individually and together, and their words and insights situate the findings and conclusions. Findings The musical form of a motet provides a metaphor that three adolescents used to theorize their meaning-making experiences during the stay-at-home order. The adolescents determined that time, frustration, and space were overarching themes that captured the essence of working alone, and then together, in messy, orchestrated online ensembles. Originality/value In this youth-centric research paper, three adolescents create understandings of their meaning-making experiences during the stay-at-home order and work together to determine personal and pedagogical implications.

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the creative process of the song entitled Youth, and also the meaning of the lyrics. The lyrics and the structure of the music presented is a contradiction between the lyrics and the musical form. The song Youth created by the Soloensis music group used the major scales. Then, the character of their musical composition is cheerful and uses instruments that are not normally played in their works. The song Youth is a song with a message about the anxiety of the creator's youth. In the end, the content of the message is transformed into a song with a contrasting musical composition. This music constructs an atmosphere of anxiety and sadness using the diatonic major scale which is usually cheerful. Kata kunci : musik youth, soloensis, makna teks lagu

ABSTRACT           The Megoak-goakan tradition from a Panji Village is played with Balaganjur Teruna Goak music, both of which are very interesting when they are transformed into jazz because they have the same basic musical form. This article aims to provide an overview of the process of transformation of Balaganjur Teruna Goak Village in Panji Village into jazz music. The process of transformation into jazz music was carried out with the creation method of exploratory which began with a literature study on the Megoak-goakan tradition in Panji Village, Buleleng, and then conducted participant observations, interviews, and continued with experiments on various musical motifs which were considered suitable with a jazz music. The results are obtained from observing and analyzing the process using the theory of basic form of music of Pono Banoe and Prier’s. It is found that Balaganjur Teruna Goak's music had a lively expression with the phrases of antecedent (question) and consequent (answer). Furthermore, the experimental stage begins with pouring musical inspiration that is used in this work in several stages through writing notation. The formation step is done by assembling existing motifs and then formed into a unified whole composition. The creation of jazz music is based on Balaganjur music, and in its creating processes does not neglect the work of others so that it is possible that in its motifs and patterns on musical arrangements have adopted the previous works.Keyword: Teruna Goak, Balaganjur, Jazz Music, Transformation, Panji VillageABSTRAK           Tradisi Megoak-goakan dari Desa Panji dimainkan dengan musik Balaganjur Teruna Goak.

Poetry And Music

This paper is concerned with the complicated relationships between poetry and music. It tries to show that one of the common denominators between both arts can be the musical form in poetry, strictly speaking a method of poetry creation based on a musical principle. For this paper, two illustrations of this process are chosen: an Irish poet Desmond Egan’s contrapuntal poems (chosen from all Egan’s poetry) and a Czech poet Jaroslav Seifert’s Mozart in Prague. The conclusions concern the impact on the reader’s reception of poetic texts, which in their graphic form or theme stimulate references to music. We conclude that knowing (active and passive) the musical principles of counterpoint and ronda can help readers to better understand the structure, theme and meaning of the texts.
