LIONEL TERTIS AND THE FLOWERING OF EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY ENGLISH VIOLA REPERTOIRE

This performance project focused on English viola literature written in the first half of the twentieth century. During this time, numerous English composers were influenced by Lionel Tertis' unprecedented approach to the viola as a virtuosic and solo instrument. In addition to being an inspiration to composers of whom he was not in direct contact, Tertis' innovative vision for the viola led to numerous collaborations with prominent English composers of his generation. Ralph Vaughan Williams, Arnold Bax, York Bowen, Frank Bridge, Benjamin Britten, and Rebecca Clarke -his own protégé - composed some of the most important works for viola thus directly shaping the impression of the instrument as we know it today. Tertis' artistry as a performing violist was unmatched at the beginning of the twentieth century. He had a unique approach to the instrument which focused on concept of sound, tone color, concentrated listening, continuous vibrato, discreet portamento, and expressive interpretation. His convincing musical and technical ideas led him to write a treatise about how to achieve a beautiful tone. His passion for teaching and concern for the viola's posterity greatly enhanced the development of the viola. Tertis transcribed, edited, and premiered many works during his career. The music that Lionel Tertis influenced can be seen as a microcosm for a musical resurgence in England during the first half of the twentieth-century. The catalyst for this was artistic influences in the form of nationalism, folk music, romanticism, modernism, and impressionism, among others. Before this, England was widely referred to as ''the land without music" but in a very real sense, .Lionel Tertis was one of the pioneers who, through his artistry of the viola, led the way to the renaissance of music in England in the twentieth century.

Aggressive responses to broadband trills are related to subsequent pairing success in nightingales

In sexually selected signals, distinct components often have specific signal value in mate choice or male-male competition. In songbirds, structural song traits such as trills, that is, a series of repetitive notes, can be important in female choice. However, little is known about their signal value in male-male interactions. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that males assess the competitive abilities of rivals based on the use and performance of rapid broadband trills produced within songs. Using a 2-speaker playback experiment, we exposed territorial male nightingales, Luscinia megarhynchos, that differed in their subsequent pairing success, to a simulated vocal interaction between 2 unfamiliar rivals. The singing of the 2 simulated rivals differed in the number of songs containing rapid broadband trills. Subjects responded significantly more strongly to the loudspeaker that broadcast songs containing such trills than to the loudspeaker that broadcast exclusively songs without such trills. Moreover, responses also depended on the fine structure of trills. Males that became paired later in the season significantly increased their response intensity with increasing trill performance, whereas males that remained unpaired responded in the opposite way and decreased their response intensity with increasing trill performance. These results indicate that rapid broadband trills are a signal of aggression and that the nature of the response in vocal interactions reflects aspects of the challenged male's fitness. © The Author 2008.

Piratage, musique et internet : la solution se trouve-t-elle dans le modèle américain ?

L’échange de fichiers musicaux par Internet permet de faire très exactement ce que toute loi sur le droit d’auteur cherche à interdire : priver de leurs droits les compositeurs, interprètes et agents de distribution des œuvres musicales. Pour l’industrie du disque, le défi est à la fois d’ordre juridique et d’ordre technique. Les lois actuelles sur le droit d’auteur suffiront-elles d’une part à protéger ses intérêts, et dans le cas où les tribunaux acquiesceraient à ses nombreuses demandes, lui faudra-t-il d’autre part tenter de mettre un frein aux progrès technologiques grâce auxquels les internautes peuvent télécharger massivement et en toute impunité leurs pièces musicales préférées? La jurisprudence américaine montre bien que dans les cas où on a cherché aux États-Unis à se servir de la loi sur le droit d’auteur pour bloquer l’utilisation d’une technologie innovatrice, les tribunaux, pour des motifs politiques et juridiques, n’ont fait preuve d’aucune sympathie pour les titulaires de droits d’auteur. En fait, lorsque les tribunaux ont cherché à trop restreindre l’utilisation d’un nouveau mode de dissémination des œuvres, le Congrès est intervenu pour rétablir l’équilibre entre les intérêts des créateurs et ceux des utilisateurs de cette technologie. Au Canada, le droit protège très bien les compositeurs et les interprètes, mais beaucoup moins bien les compagnies de disques. En ce moment, la loi canadienne sur le droit d’auteur accorde à ces dernières un droit d’auteur limité sur leurs produits. Elles peuvent multiplier les exemplaires d’un disque, et le « reproduire sur un support matériel quelconque ». C’est ici que naissent les difficultés : les compagnies productrices de disques n’ont pas un droit clairement identifié à l’égard d’une « représentation » de l’œuvre musicale ou d’une « exécution publique » ou d’une « transmission au public par télécommunication ». Le Parlement canadien aura des choix importants à faire.

Influência da música preferida no desempenho e estados afetivos de idosos durante exercício de intensidade auto-selecionada

Low adherence to physical exercise programs is a factor that contributes to the high rates of physical inactivity worldwide. In this sense, strategies to improve the affective responses during exercise are used to impact adherence, as the use of music and self-selected exercise intensity. Despite the benefits of these strategies, there are few studies involving the combination of both (self-selected intensity and music), especially in the elderly population. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of music on performance, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and on affective and motivational responses of elderly during walking exercise with self-selected intensity. Eleven elderly performed walking sessions on an athletic track in three conditions: without music, with motivational music and with oudeterous music. RPE, mood states, motivation, affective responses, session RPE and attitudes related to the experience of exercise were evaluated. Results demonstrated that both motivational and oudeterous music improved affective responses and decreased RPE. However, only the motivational music condition showed an effect on distance walked, the only presenting a consistent increase in distance. Therefore, it is concluded that the use of music, particularly motivational music, besides increasing the distance walked, reduces RPE and increase pleasure of the elderly during the exercise. Such strategy, in addition to potentially impact adherence positively, can lead to greater benefits and physical adaptations related to the training in the long term
