SOME ASPECTS OF MANUSCRIPT P-CUG MM 242: ANTÓNIO CARREIRA´S KEYBOARD TENTOS AND FANTASIAS IN ITS CLOSE RELATION WITH JACQUES BUUS´S RICERCARI FROM HIS LIBRO PRIMO…(1547).
No full textManuscript P-Cug MM 242 from the Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra contains important evidence regarding mid-sixteenth century instrumental practice in Portugal. In score-format, it includes copies of motets, chansons, madrigals and instrumental works from some of the most important Flemish and North Italian sixteenth century prints. Additionally, it contains all the music that we know so far by the most important sixteenth century Portuguese keyboard composer, António Carreira. These pieces are in two genres, the tento and the fantasia, and their attribution of authorship is still in discussion, since the great majority is only identified by the abbreviation «ca». More importantly, the pieces are closely related with seven recomposed versions of Jacques Buus´s ricercari from his Libro primo … (1547), also included in the same manuscript. These recomposed pieces, produced after earlier copies included in P-Cug MM 48, another Coimbra manuscript in score-format,, are interspersed in the initial part of MM 242 with Carreira´s keyboard tentos and fantasias.
My paper addresses the close relation between Carreira´s and Buus´s recomposed works. I argue that Buus´s recomposed ricercari were a central source of inspiration regarding matters of form and style to the Portuguese composer, himself a major figure in the development of the keyboard tento and fantasia in Portugal. My argument is supported by a series of musical examples transcribed and edited from MM 242
«The recompositions of Buus´s ricercari from his Libro primo…(1547) in manuscript P-Cug MM 242 and the didactic processes of the friars of the Santa Cruz Monastery in Coimbra»
No full textThe purpose of this article is to address the presence of seven recomposed ricercari by Jacques Buus in the Music Manuscript 242 from the Library of the University of Coimbra in Portugal (P-Cug MM 242). These recompositions, probably copied in the third quarter of the 16th century, were made after the previously copied Buus´s ricercari in Music Manuscript 48 (P-Cug MM 48) of the same library, which were based on the Libro primo de ricercari a quattro voci, published in Venice in 1547 by Antonio Gardane. In this article, I intend to focus in two main aspects of the research done on this subject.
The first topic concerns the score-format of both manuscripts 48 & 242, which testify the instrumental activity in mid-sixteenth century Portugal. I will demonstrate that this format served once, in the Santa Cruz Monastery in Coimbra, as a didactic tool in the teaching of counterpoint through the music of a northern European master such as Jacques Buus. The copies in the manuscripts were never intended to be used as a performing support – they contain many errors of vertical coordination between the voices that make the performance impossible. The second topic focuses on Buus´s recomposed ricercari, which were the object of many cuts, brief recomposed bridges, newly inserted sections, and written glosa figurations. Through these recompositions, I will describe the theoretic assimilation of formal processes, of style, mode, counterpoint and performing practice.
The achievement of this article is to offer historic musicology researchers a new perspective about the enormous influence that Buus´s ricercari from his Libro primo… had in the learning processes of music composition and in the development of didactic and performing practices in the Santa Cruz Monastery in Coimbra, during the mid-sixteenth century decades
THE RECOMPOSITIONS OF BUUS´S RICERCARI FROM HIS LIBRO PRIMO…(1547) IN MANUSCRIPT P-CUG MM 242 AND THE DIDACTIC PROCESSES OF THE FRIARS OF THE SANTA CRUZ MONASTERY IN COIMBRA.
No full textThis paper addresses the presence of seven recomposed ricercari by Jacques Buus in the manuscript P-Cug MM 242, based on the Libro primo de ricercari a quattro voci, published in Venice in 1547 by Antonio Gardane. These recompositions, probably copied in the third quarter of the 16th century, were made after the previously copied Buus´s ricercari in P-Cug MM 48. Besides the works mentioned, these manuscripts include mostly copies of motets and chansons from some of the most important Flemish and north Italian mid-sixteenth century prints. Two years ago I presented in Utrecht´s Med-Ren Conference 2009 the initial phase of the investigation done upon this manuscript and P-Cug MM 48, the other Coimbra manuscript in score-format which testifies the instrumental activity in mid-sixteenth century Portugal.
P-Cug MM 242 includes copies of Buus´s recomposed ricercari in score-format, and this paper addresses the idea that the score-format served once as a pedagogical tool in the teaching of counterpoint through the music of a northern European master in the Santa Cruz Monastery in Coimbra. I show that the copies in the manuscripts were never intended to be used as a performing support – they contain many errors of vertical coordination between the voices that make the performance impossible – but testify instead to the didactic procedures of the friars. Through Buus´s recomposed ricercari, which were the object of many cuts, brief recomposed bridges, newly inserted sections, and written glosa figurations, I will describe the theoretic assimilation of formal processes, of style, mode, counterpoint and performing practice

Título: A génese do tento no testemunho dos manuscritos P-Cug MM 48 e MM 242 (com uma edição crítica dos ricercari de Jacques Buus e das suas versões recompostas)
A presente tese estuda a génese do tento e da fantasia para tecla na ilustração dos manuscritos P-Cug MM 48 e 242. Partindo das recomposições dos ricercari do Libro primo… (1547) de Jacques Buus constantes na parte inicial do MM 242 e tendo por base as suas cópias realizadas a partir do MM 48, esta tese tem como primeiro assunto central a análise dos processos de estudo e recomposição patentes nas referidas obras. Num segundo momento, é estabelecida a sua relação comparativa com a estrutura formal e estilística do tento e da fantasia para tecla em Portugal, por volta de meados do século XVI, no testemunho de algumas obras de António Carreira incluídas no MM 242.
ABSTRACT
Title: The origins of the tento in the testimony of manuscripts P-Cug MM 48 & MM 242 (with a critical edition of Jacques Buus´s ricercari and its recomposed versions)
This thesis focuses on the origins of the keyboard tento and fantasia as exemplified by the two manuscripts P-Cug MM 48 & 242. Beginning with the recompositions of Jacques Buus´s ricercari from his Libro primo… (1547) that are in the initial part of MM 242 and having in mind that these were based upon the copies of the original versions included in MM 48, the first aim of this thesis is to analyze the study and recompositional processes that these works reveal. His second purpose concerns the comparative relation of Buus´s recompositions with the formal and stylistic structure of the mid-sixteenth century keyboard tento and fantasia in Portugal, as testified by some António Carreira´s work included in MM 242

No full textOn the relation between peripheral compression and the growth of loudness
No full textThis presentation reviews similarities and differences between normal listeners' pure-tone loudness functions and the compressive basilar-membrane, BM, input-output function. Loudness matches between pure tones and multitone complexes with widely separated components reveal that the loudness function can be modeled by a modified power function with local exponents around unity near threshold and 0.2 at moderate levels [S. Buus et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 104, 399–410 (1998)]. Loudness matches between short and long tones show that the SPL difference at equal loudness is a nonmonotonic function of SPL and is largest at moderate levels [S. Buus et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 101, 669–680 (1997)]. These data can be explained by a loudness function that is flattest at moderate levels, where its local exponent also is around 0.2. This value is close to that obtained for BM input-output functions. The steepening of the loudness function at low levels is qualitatively similar to BM measurements. The steepening at high levels is absent in BM data when the state of the animals' cochleae is carefully controlled. One possible explanation is that the cochleae of normal adult listeners are in worse condition than those of carefully treated animals. [Work supported by NIH/NIDCD.
The Rockefeller Foundation and the Danish Welfare State : Henriette Buus, Indretning og efterretning. Rockefeller Foundations indflydelse på den danske velfærdsstat 1920–1970. Museum Tusculanum Press, Copenhagen 2008. 384 pp. Ill. ISBN 978-87-635-0582-6
No full textThe ethnologist Henriette Buus focuses in this book on the influence that the Rockefeller Foundation had on the Danish welfare state. The welfare society began to take shape in the inter-war period around the Western world, and the RockefellerFoundation, based in the USA, was central for this formation. From the beginning of the 1920s the Foundation supported many different activities in Denmark that later became crucial for how the welfare society developed. More specifically, Buus is interested in how the Rockefeller Foundation influenced the expansion of the welfare society in Denmark, with a focus on preventive health care and social research. She does this by analysing both the establishment of the Health Visitor Institution (Sundhedsplejerskeinstitutionen) and the establishment of empirical inductive sociology at the Institute of History and Socio-Economics (Institutet for Historie og Samfundsøkonomi) in Copenhagen. These two institutions are analysed with material that stretches from the 1920s to the 1970s

Následně tyto dvě veličiny představit, porovnat ve vybraném časovém úseku a testovat chybu odhadu mezi predikovanou vnitřní hodnotou a odhadem trhu. Taktéž vyčíslit a porovnat tržní výnosnost indexu mezi roky (která je pro investory jedním ze stěžejních faktorů při volbě investičního instrumentu) a výnosnost vyplívající z modelu. Pro reflektování trhu USA byl zvolen index S&P 500, který zahrnuje 500 největších veřejně obchodovatelných společností USA vážených dle tržního podílu. V teoretické části budou čtenáři blíže seznámeni s indexem, s oběma veličinami i s pojmy potřebnými pro porozumění vývoji vybraných veličin. V praktické části budou ve vybraných časech vyčíslena a popsaná potřebná vstupní data a stanoveny vhodné předpoklady potřebné pro užití Gordonova modelu. Ve finální části dojde k porovnání vyčíslené vnitřní hodnoty s tržní cenou, a taktéž k porovnání meziročních výnosností indexu dle zjištěných hodnot.This bachelor thesis is describing actual factors that have an impact on the development of intrinsic value and market value on the USA stock market. The targets are to present these two values, to compare them throughout the chosen period of time and to test the error of estimation. As well as calculate and compare the real earnings yield ratio to one that comes out of the prediction model. To reflect the USA stock market the author had chosen the index S&P 500 that contains 500 of the biggest publicly traded companies from the USA composed by market capitalization. In the theoretical part, the author will take a closer look at what the index is, what exactly market and fair value are and describe other concepts needed for this thesis. In the practical part, the author will (in chosen period of time) calculate and describe the input data for the Gordon estimation model. In the final part is made a comparison of the market value and estimated (by Gordon model) intrinsic value as well as comparison of the real earnings yield ratio and the one that comes out of the prediction model
