From tonal to atonal: cycle of pieces with ecuadorian rhythmic elements.
No full textilustraciones.En Ecuador existen géneros musicales tradicionales que usualmente no reciben la atención necesaria en el ámbito de la música contemporánea. Debido a ello, este proyecto crea un ciclo de piezas de cuatro movimientos, cada uno basado en un género musical ecuatoriano: Yaraví, Sanjuanito, Albazo y Yumbo. Estas piezas han sido escritas para la Orquesta Experimental de la Universidad Central del Ecuador. Los recursos de composición utilizados son específicamente tonales y atonales por lo que cada movimiento emplea un lenguaje compositivo distinto. Por ello, se combinan las células rítmicas de los géneros tradicionales ecuatorianos con estos nuevos recursos compositivos. Para la composición del ciclo de piezas se analiza y estudia fragmentos de diferentes obras musicales que han servido como referencia para la realización de este proyecto.In Ecuador, traditional musical genres are often overlooked in the context of contemporary music. Because of this, the project has devised a cycle of four movements, each based on an ecuadorian musical genre: yaraví, sanjuanito, albazo, and yumbo. These pieces have been composed for the Experimental Orchestra of Central University of Ecuador. The compositional resources employed are specifically tonal and atonal, so that each movement uses a different compositional language. Therefore, the rhythmic cells of traditional ecuadorian genres are combined with these new compositional resources. In the process of composing the cycle of pieces, fragments of diverse musical works that have served as points of reference for the realization of this project are subjected to analysis and study.PregradoLicenciado(a) en Artes Musicale
“Melancolía": Ciclo de canciones para voz solista y cuarteto instrumental
No full textEste proyecto se centra en la creación y análisis de un ciclo de cuatro canciones originales,
destacando la importancia de la música como medio de expresión cultural y emocional. El
proyecto pretende enriquecer el repertorio musical mediante obras que combinan la voz,
violín, viola, cello y piano, instrumentación que está presente en las obras. Cada obra utiliza
la forma canción, brindando una conexión directa con el oyente a través de introducción,
versos, coros y puentes. Este ciclo de canciones utiliza armonía tradicional, modal y
diferentes cadencias que le dan sentido y riqueza musical, generando diferentes texturas y
sonoridades que transmiten el sentimiento y emoción de las canciones, que también se
expresan a través de las letras, utilizando poesía libre y sonetos en las letras añadiendo una
dimensión lírica y expresiva. La poesía libre permite flexibilidad rítmica, mientras que los
sonetos facilitan la exploración de temas profundos. La voz juega un papel fundamental,
acentuando la capacidad de la mezzoprano. La elección de la instrumentación abre nuevas
posibilidades sonoras y emotivas. A pesar de la ausencia de trabajos previos significativos en
esta configuración, el proyecto expande el repertorio musical con experiencias auditivas
enriquecedoras para intérpretes y oyentesThis project focuses on the creation and analysis of a cycle of four original songs, highlighting
the importance of music as a medium of cultural and emotional expression. The project aims
to enrich the musical repertoire through works that combine voice, violin, viola, cello, and
piano an instrumentation featured throughout the cycle. Each piece follows the song form,
providing a direct connection with the listener through the use of introduction, verses,
choruses, and bridges. This song cycle incorporates traditional and modal harmony, as well
as various cadences that add musical depth and meaning, generating diverse textures and
sonorities that convey the emotional essence of the songs. These emotions are also expressed
through the lyrics, which employ both free verse and sonnet forms, adding a lyrical and
expressive dimension. Free verse allows rhythmic flexibility, while sonnets enable the
exploration of deeper themes. The voice plays a central role, emphasizing the expressive
range of the mezzo-soprano. The chosen instrumentation opens up new sonic and emotional
possibilities. Despite the lack of significant prior works with this particular configuration, the
project expands the musical repertoire by offering enriching listening experiences for both
performers and audiencesPregradoLicenciado(a) en Artes Musicale
Análisis del lenguaje musical de Fiesta, albazo para piano del compositor Gerardo Guevara
No full textThis brief essay addresses the musical language used by one of the most renowned Ecuadorian composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, Gerardo Guevara. Specifically, it analyzes the Albazo Fiesta. In addition to exploring the possibilities and characteristics of the musical language as a compositional tool in his works, the essay also examines other possibilities within pentaphony, bi-pentaphony, such as the transposition of the scale to the same tonic.Este breve ensayo trata del lenguaje musical que utiliza uno de los compositores ecuatorianos más reconocidos de siglo XX y XXI, el músico Gerardo Guevara; en este caso más precisamente se analiza el albazo Fiesta, además de dar a conocer las posibilidades y características del lenguaje como herramienta de composición que utiliza en sus obras; también se analiza otras posibilidades de la pentafonía, bi-pentafonía así, como la transposición de la escala pentáfona a la misma tónica
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
