Interpretation and performance of three orchestral compositions by Gabriela Lena Frank: Escaramuza, Elegia Andian, and Three Latin American Dances
No full textThis work presents interpretative and performance suggestions for three of Gabriela Lena Frank’s orchestral works: Escaramuza (2010), Elegia Andina (2000), and Three Latin American Dances (2004). Frank’s compositions frequently include programmatic elements that reference other well-known compositions, and she incorporates melodies, rhythms, timbres, instrumentation, and performance techniques characteristic of her Peruvian cultural heritage. Examples of these elements are presented from a lecture recital format to demonstrate how performance practice and conducting decisions—in rehearsal and performance—can be utilized to honor the composer’s expressed intent and overcome various technical ensemble and conducting challenges. An overview of the cultural contextual elements includes Harawi and Kachampa dance structures. The author also suggests methods for presenting elements that affect the timbre and instrumental scoring specific to each work, for example the Andean Zampoña. This research provides performers with a resource to deepen their score study, and seeks to inspire more people to perform the music of Gabriela Lena Frank.D. A

Cladal Divergence in Fungal Ophiognomonia (Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales) Shows Evidence of Climatic Niche Vicariance
No full textWe used the globally widespread genus Ophiognomonia as a model system to investigate climatic niche patterns in fungi, characterizing the climatic profiles of 28 species with seven temperature and seven precipitation variables. Using a novel version of Spatial Evolutionary and Ecological Vicariance Analysis (SEEVA), designed to deal with continuous and correlated variables, we examined well-sampled phyletic splits of a multi-gene phylogeny. We evaluated the degree to which phyletic divergence has been associated with climatic niche divergence between sister lineages, permitting elucidation of climatic associations in evolutionary context. From the 14 inter-correlated climatic variables, we extracted four principal axes, accounting for 93.2% of the climatic variation, with axes broadly labeled as: polarity, tropicality, winter mildness, and aridity. We also analyzed the two single variables maximum monthly temperature and precipitation. We detected climatic associations that were compatible with both niche-conservatism and niche-divergence within the phylogeny, and different cladistic bifurcations associated with different climatic splits. As might have been anticipated, geographic separation (or lack thereof) of phylogenetic splits was correlated with climate niche divergence (or conservation). This elaborated SEEVA method provides a visual and statistically solid basis for characterizing climatic niche divergence that should prove useful for elucidation of many other taxonomic groups.Peer reviewe

“We embody contradictions”: Panel Discussion with Composers Neo Muyanga, Bode Omojola and Charles Uzor on Production Conditions of Operas in the African Diaspora
No full textThe conference THE AFRICAN OPERATIC VOICE - Opera and Music Theatre in Africa and the African Diaspora took place at the Institute of Musicology of the University of Bern from 8 to 10 September 2023. Opera productions from eight African countries were discussed. On the second day, which focused on notions of genre and opera institutions in Africa and its diaspora, a panel discussion was held with South African composer Neo Muyanga and Nigerian composers Bode Omojola and Charles Uzor on the conditions of opera production outside Africa. Neo Muyanga regularly produces opera in Europe, Bode Omojola is the Hammond-Douglass Five College Professor at Mount Holyoke College and the Five Colleges in the United States, and Charles Uzor moved to Switzerland as a child, where he now has a career. All composers were asked to give statements on the topic before a discussion among them and the audiences started
Le stanze della memoria di Lena Constante
No full textMuovendo dai volumi di memorie The silent escape e The impossible escape di Lena Constante, il contributo cercherà di dimostrare come il luogo dell’evasione silenziosa sia uno spazio altro, eterotopico, nei termini proposti da M. Foucault. In particolare, si mostrerà come la costruzione di questo spazio si fondi su due condizioni esterne imprescindibili: la solitudine e il silenzio.Starting from Lena Constante’s memoirs The silent escape and The impossible escape, this contribution will try to discuss how the space of a “silent breakout” is an other, heterotopic space as in M. Foucault’s propositions. The Author will explain in particular how the construction of such a space is conditioned by two essential factors: solitude and silence
Pleijel’s Theorem for Schrödinger Operators
No full textWe are concerned in this paper with the real eigenfunctions of Schrödinger operators.We prove an asymptotic upper bound for the number of their nodal domains, which implies in particular that the inequality stated in Courant’s theorem is strict, except for finitely many eigenvalues. Results of this type originated in 1956 with Pleijel’s theorem on the Dirichlet Laplacian and were obtained for some classes of Schrödinger operators by the first author, alone and in collaboration with B. Helffer and T. Hoffmann-Ostenhof. Using methods in part inspired by work of the second author on Neumann and Robin Laplacians, we greatly extend the scope of these previous results
