El análisis auditivo y el análisis orientado a la interpretación según la metodología IEM: diagnóstico inicial y desarrollo de propuestas metodológicas para el análisis musical

[ES] La presente tesis se centra en la didáctica del análisis musical (AM), cuyo estudio se aborda bajo diversos enfoques. Nuestra investigación pretende por un lado describir el momento actual del AM en los Centros Superiores y plantear dos propuestas metodológicas diferentes, que tienen en cuenta la renovación de la disciplina, pero que al mismo tiempo sean practicables en nuestra realidad educativa actual.

Un mapa musical de la vida cotidiana

[ES] La observación y el análisis de los fenómenos musicales que tienen lugar en unas coordenadas espacio-temporales concretas pueden ofrecer una valiosa información sobre la situación cultural que atraviesa una población determinada. La omnipresencia de la música en la vida contemporánea la convierte en un medio de conocimiento privilegiado para los investigadores. [EN] Researching and analyzing musical phenomena within specific space and time coordinates can provide valuable information about the cultural situation of a given population. The ubiquity of music in contemporary lifestyles provides a unique source of knowledge for scholars.

Artesanía y Tecnología. Aplicación a un instrumento musical: EL TIMPLE

[ES]Este trabajo aborda la integración que debe existir entre la Artesanía y las nuevas Tecnologías. Se centra en aplicaciones para la fabricación de instrumentos musicales y más en particular en El Timple Canario. Se tratan dos aspectos fundamentales, uno relacionado con el uso de tecnologías avanzadas de fabricación de útiles y herramientas para el artesano, y el otro en el uso de tecnologías de fabricación aditiva para el desarrollo de un instrumento innovador.

Da Broadway alla gran via: La traduzione spagnola del musical The Lion King

Questa argomentazione tratta la traduzione e l'adattamento spagnolo del musical The Lion King. In primo luogo viene data una descrizione di che cos'è un musical, quali sono le sue origini, quali tematiche vengono affrontate e da quali numeri è composto lo spettacolo. Viene poi introdotto The Lion King con una breve descrizione del film per poi passare al "making of" del musical, abbiamo quindi una breve descrizione di scene, costumi e maschere. La terza parte è dedicata alla traduzione per la scena: vengono identificate le problematiche maggiori di questo campo della traduzione, si analizzano performability, speakability e soprattutto la singability, la caratteristica principale da tenere a mente quando si traduce un musical anche se spesso non gli viene attribuita l'importanza che merita. Viene poi introdotta la traduzione spagnola de El Rey León e del suo traduttore, Jordi Galcerán, di cui viene descritta una breve biografia in quanto il discorso è incentrato soprattutto nella sua esperienza di traduzione. L'ultima parte è l'analisi delle canzoni. Sono state selezionate sette canzoni di cui sono state analizzate nel dettaglio un minimo di due a un massimo di tre strofe. Ognuna di esse è affiancata dalla versione originale inglese in modo da avere subito chiare quali sono le differenze principali.

Musical Training Induces Functional Plasticity in Human Hippocampus

Training can change the functional and structural organization of the brain, and animal models demonstrate that the hippocampus formation is particularly susceptible to training-related neuroplasticity. In humans, however, direct evidence for functional plasticity of the adult hippocampus induced by training is still missing. Here, we used musicians' brains as a model to test for plastic capabilities of the adult human hippocampus. By using functional magnetic resonance imaging optimized for the investigation of auditory processing, we examined brain responses induced by temporal novelty in otherwise isochronous sound patterns in musicians and musical laypersons, since the hippocampus has been suggested previously to be crucially involved in various forms of novelty detection. In the first cross-sectional experiment, we identified enhanced neural responses to temporal novelty in the anterior left hippocampus of professional musicians, pointing to expertise-related differences in hippocampal processing. In the second experiment, we evaluated neural responses to acoustic temporal novelty in a longitudinal approach to disentangle training-related changes from predispositional factors. For this purpose, we examined an independent sample of music academy students before and after two semesters of intensive aural skills training. After this training period, hippocampal responses to temporal novelty in sounds were enhanced in musical students, and statistical interaction analysis of brain activity changes over time suggests training rather than predisposition effects. Thus, our results provide direct evidence for functional changes of the adult hippocampus in humans related to musical training.

The persistence of musical memories: A descriptive study of earworms

We describe some characteristics of persistent musical and verbal retrieval episodes, commonly known as "earworms." In Study 1, participants first filled out a survey summarizing their earworm experiences retrospectively. This was followed by a diary study to document each experience as it happened. Study 2 was an extension of the diary study with a larger sample and a focus on triggering events. Consistent with popular belief, these persistent musical memories were common across people and occurred frequently for most respondents, and were often linked to recent exposure to preferred music. Contrary to popular belief, the large majority of such experiences were not unpleasant. Verbal earworms were uncommon. These memory experiences provide an interesting example of extended memory retrieval for music in a naturalistic situation.

Musical stem completion: Humming that note

This study looked at how people store and retrieve tonal music explicitly and implicitly using a production task. Participants completed an implicit task (tune stem completion) followed by an explicit task (cued recall). The tasks were identical except for the instructions at test time. They listened to tunes and were then presented with tune stems from previously heard tunes and novel tunes. For the implicit task, they were asked to sing a note they thought would come next musically. For the explicit task, they were asked to sing the note they remembered as coming next. Experiment 1 found that people correctly completed significantly more old stems than new stems. Experiment 2 investigated the characteristics of music that fuel retrieval by varying a surface feature of the tune (same timbre ordifferent timbre) from study to test and the encoding task (semantic or nonsemantic). Although we did not find that implicit and explicit memory for music were significantly dissociated for levels of processing, we did find that surface features of music affect semantic judgments and subsequent explicit retrieval.
