The Interloping Beguiler: for Bass Clarinet and Orchestra

The Interloping Beguiler is an nineteen-minute concerto in four movements for bass clarinet solo and orchestra. The title refers to the role of the solo instrument, which continually thrusts itself into the affairs of the orchestra, deceiving and diverting the members of the orchestra away from their task of performing a "serious" orchestral composition. The bass clarinet portrays a comical, cartoon-like character whose awkward, and sometimes goofy, interjections cause chaos. Attempts are made by various members of the orchestra, especially the horns, to regain control of the work, but the bass clarinet always succeeds in its distracting antics. By the final movement of the composition, the bass clarinet has propelled the work into a cartoon-like landscape of quickly changing textures, dissonant intervals, and overlapping themes. The first movement, Introduction, sets the serious tone of the music to follow, or so it would seem. The entrance of the bass clarinet immediately changes this texture with its out-of-rhythm alternations between high and low pitches. This gesture provides a glimpse into the personality of the bass clarinet, an instrument here to mislead the members of the orchestra. Deception truly begins in the second movement, The Interloping Initiates. The bass clarinet starts the movement with a driving theme and is immediately supported by the orchestra. As the movement progresses, the bass clarinet quickly begins altering the theme, making it more playful and cartoonish. A struggle ensues between the horns and the bass clarinet, with the bass clarinet catapulting the piece into a latin-inspired section. The struggle continues through to the end of the movement. The third movement, Calm, is exactly what the title suggests. A sectional form distinguishes this movement from the second movement. Throughout Calm, the bass clarinet behaves with decorum, except for very large melodic leaps. The seed of anarchy planted by the bass clarinet in the second movement comes to fruition in the final movement, The Beguiling Builds. Here, the bass clarinet sends the work into chaos with sections recalling Looney Tunes cartoons, Hollywood western music, and children's folk songs.

Canciones populares granadinas: un proyecto de innovación en la formación de los maestros de música

Entre las tareas complementarias de la Titulación de Magisterio en la especialidad de Educación Musical de la Universidad de Granada, se lleva a cabo desde el curso académico 1996-97 y hasta la actualidad de manera ininterrumpida, una actividad singular protagonizada por los estudiantes de esta titulación que anualmente solicitan participar en el Coro de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación; surgió como un instrumento de acercamiento a la música coral para los estudiantes universitarios, pero con el paso del tiempo ha ido abriendo el espacio de su actuación a otras competencias propias de un grupo mixto vinculado a tareas educativas y culturales. Por esta razón ha ampliado el campo de sus actividades dirigiendo la atención no sólo hacia la interpretación de obras del repertorio polifónico, sino también hacia la producción de conciertos escolares y la elaboración de recursos y materiales didácticos, como sucede con este proyecto de innovación docente en torno a las Canciones populares granadinas. En este contexto, el Coro se constituye como un grupo de trabajo e investigación interdisciplinar para llevar a cabo estas tareas, y así desarrolla por primera vez un proyecto monográfico de semejantes características, aunque la experiencia colaborativa del trabajo en equipo forma ya parte de la esencia misma del Coro como agrupación vocal. Igualmente, es preciso subrayar que este grupo cuenta con experiencias en otras tareas de innovación, experimentación e investigación con el diseño de guiones y producciones didácticas puestas en práctica en conciertos escolares ofrecidos en distintos centros educativos. Este trabajo ha consistido en la edición de un audio-libro basado en la música tradicional de distintas comarcas de la provincia de Granada, extraído de diversas fuentes ya publicadas, con el fin de difundir repertorios vocales de música popular en los centros educativos, a través de la grabación, estudio, aplicación y análisis de las obras que se han publicado

Trajetos cênicos do grupo parafolclórico da UFRN:que dança é essa?

This paper aims at studying UFRN Parafolclórico Group, whose aesthetic formation is subjected to our analysis, specially at its two last performances, that is, Flor do Lírio (Lily Flower), 2004, and Debaixo do Barro do Chão (Under the Mud of the Ground), 2008. Three targets are envisaged here: to analyze the aesthetic ideas backing Parafolclórico Group exhibitions; to evaluate how their many folk elements interact with different artist languages in order to compose a certain choreography; and finally, to identify the aesthetic conformation placed behind the two different choreographs of the last performances, their trends and innermost features that differentiate them. In accordance with the Analysis of Contents (BARDIN, 2006), interviews have been made with the choreographers and the staff of the spectacles, resulting in elucidating answers to the understanding of their thematic axis. On the first chapter we called attention to motivating subjects as recollection, personal experiences, bibliography research, research in loco regarded as propelling forces of the creative works. Herein, folk culture is depicted as a dynamic process opening a frank dialogue with contemporary events and reinforcing their continuity. On the second chapter, we approached the aesthetic conformation and the scenic elements (costumes, light, scenario, make-up), integrating the studied spectacles and disseminating folk songs in various ways. As what concerns the subjects discourse, we have obtained support in authors like Robatto (1994); Lobo; Navas (2008); Burke (1989); Canclini (2006); Dufrenne (2005); Medeiros (2005); Pavis (2005); Silva (2005), among others. Those authors have provided us with an indispensable theoretic support which, added to the interviews, convinced us that the Parafolclórico Group s aesthetic conception tends to identify itself with the artist languages and other techniques of that Group. It also made sure that the Group s course aims at an aesthetic conception which is not limited to popular culture manifestations, like dance, but admits to play with other media in order to communicate its art. In view of this situation, we arrived to two conclusions: first: the group s interchanges emphasize the dynamic character of popular culture which, by establishing contacts with different realities, receives influences capable of extending its own continuity; second: the contemporary state of arts also improves multiple interchanges opening way, so, for many accomplishments in their field. Therefore, UFRN Parafolclórico Group inserts itself in the contemporary scenery by performing new evaluations of the popular dances as long as it puts them in contact with different technical, aesthetic, artist and culture combinations

Por uma história do livro e da leitura no Pará: o caso da Guajarina, editora de folhetos de cordel (1922-1949)

A presente dissertação analisa a atuação da editora Guajarina na divulgação da literatura de cordel no Pará a partir de uma história do livro e da leitura, tendo como recorte o período de 1922 a 1949. Nesse sentido, procuramos explorar algumas questões relacionadas ao cordel que não se reduzem aos textos, tais como: a problematização da associação entre cordel, cultura popular e folclore; a produção e circulação dos folhetos; e as representações e estratégias dos poetas nas histórias de crimes. Desse modo, a análise da Guajarina e de seus folhetos nos permite entender alguns significados das múltiplas práticas de leitura da sociedade no contexto da primeira metade do século XX. Além dos folhetos, também são utilizadas fontes como jornais, revistas e coleções encadernadas de modinhas.

National Identity in Lithuania: Processes During the Period of Changes

Under the conditions of rapid and total change in the social, political, economic and legal environment in Lithuania, a re-orientation process is going on in all groups of society. In this process, not only younger but also middle-aged and old people become adherents to what Ms. Liubiniene calls the new, "post-materialist" values, strongly reinforced by powerful agents of socialisation originating in the West, like the media, advertising agencies and lifestyle-consumption models. As a result, the national identity of Lithuania and its inhabitants is being reconstructed. Ms. Liubiniene set out to examine the details of this evolving identity by conducting a survey of 1218 university staff and students. Her conclusions are set out in a 74 page manuscript, written in Lithuanian and available on disc. Change is most noticeable among the young. Indeed, time and time again, Ms. Liubiniene was to find that the age of 36 marks a natural watershed, with, for instance, the younger group valuing individualism highly and the older, collectivism. Ms. Liubiniene ventures to suggest that traditional values are deeply rooted amongst elderly people, women and people with an education in the humanities. Young people on the other hand, and especially those with a professional orientation towards business are more open to change and ready to adapt to new values. Turning to the evaluation of national symbols, Ms. Liubinie finds that those with an education in the humanities might be considered to be the most traditional, placing greater value on the symbols of nature, ethnic culture and religion. Folk songs and the crucifix are also in their top ten. Respondents with a technical education favour symbols of statehood and nature, and respondents with a business orientation assign greater value to the symbols of nature, history, sports and statehood. Ms. Liubinie concludes that the group of respondents most active and ready to adapt to new things is composed of young males of a business orientation. Generally the national identity of the young is weaker compared to that of the old. In the future, the combination of the evolution of values and the process of inter-generational replacement allows us to predict a weakening of the sense of national identity, or at least its transformation into something radically different to what it is today.

"Coser y cantar" : El hilar como espacio de la transmisión oral, la lira que le canta y el refrán que lo sentencia

En este artículo se estudia el acto de hilar y tejer como espacio que propicia la transmisión de la tradición oral.
