The Song of Deborah (Judges Chapter 5) : studies in the versions and the poetic account of the battle against Sisera
No full textA large part of this thesis consists of an
examination of Judges ch. 5 in the light of the
Versions, Rashi and Kimchi. In addition, the tribal
situation, religious cohesiveness of Israel, as well as
the historical context and date of the battle against
Sisera, are examined. The Song of Deborah presents a
unique situation in the period of the Judges in which
an alliance of many tribes participated in a concerted
action. These tribes are designated by the name
'Israel'. The God of Israel is known as Yahweh, Israel
is the people of Yahweh, and the religious unity of
Israel is based upon a common religious faith in
Yahweh. The Song does not represent Israel as a system
of twelve tribes or as having its cohesiveness in an
amphictyony. This historical battle against Sisera
depicted in the Song probably occurred at a time late
in the period of the Judges, at the end of the 12th
century B.C. or early in the 11th century B.C

Author Identification from Song Lyrics
No full textMachine Learning (ML) tools have been used extensively in a wide variety of domains
recently. Due the enormous amount of data being produced, machine learning techniques
are being heavily used to make sense of data & derive meaningful results. Using machine
learning tools, we can turn the data into knowledge.
Music is one of the truest forms of art. Bangladesh has a great history of music with a
great tradition of song writing over centuries. Authorship attribution is the way of
identifying the author from a linguistic corpus.
This paper demonstrates a guideline to identify the author of a Bengali song from the
lyrics of that song using machine learning. This research work presents the first work on
machine learning approach for author attribution from the lyrics of a song. Here six
methods of machine learning are used for the author identification and high accuracies
have been achieved from these methods. It is observed that Naïve Bayes method provides
higher accuracy in comparison with the other methods
Difficulties for Chinese Vocalists in Singing French Art Song
No full textabstract: Late nineteenth-century French art song, also known as mélodie, is one of the most important genres in a classical singer’s repertoire and it cannot be ignored. Its creation represents a marked improvement over the song form of French Romance which dates from the eighteenth century.
French art song was not introduced to China until the establishment of the New Republic of China in 1949. In the decades since then, French art song seems less favored by Chinese singers, when compared to Italian songs and German Lieder. Having studied both in China and the United States, the author realized that for Chinese native speakers, singing French art song is a difficult challenge.
Two main problems immediately present themselves: the language barrier and the obstacle of a basic understanding of French poetry. The author’s purpose here is to examine these problems and try to help Chinese singers by offering them a systematic path toward correct French pronunciation, a brief discussion of poetic imagery often seen in French poetry, and a selected bibliography of sources on French poetry to advance their comprehension.
First, the paper will introduce the phonology of Pinyin (Chinese Phonetic Alphabet), the system used in China to teach Chinese (Mandarin) and compare it with the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), which is universally used by people in the West to learn the pronunciation of most languages. The document will then show the sounds that are most challenging for Chinese singers and will give some suggestions and vocal exercises to help singers better pronounce French diction.
Secondly, the author will examine a few poems used in French songs to point out some of the cultural differences between China and Western countries and identify the challenges in understanding the meaning of selected French art songs from the perspective of a Chinese singer. Since an exhaustive study of French poetry would be another broad topic to be researched, the author will offer only basic suggestions and a brief annotated bibliography of sources at the end of this research project.
It is the author's hope that this document will benefit Chinese singers and voice teachers by acquainting them with French diction and by helping them to appreciate French song literature.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201
