    A survey of a cappella sacred music for mixed choir of Josef Rheinberger

    Get PDF
    Josef Rheinberger (1839-1901) was a prolific composer in the nineteenth century. Motivated by his belief as a devout Catholic, Rheinberger composed numerous sacred music pieces for different voices, categories, instrumental accompaniments, and functions. He is classified as a “classical romanticist” and composed his music in a contemporary Romantic music idiom with Classical elements. It is a pity that the a cappella sacred music that Rheinberger composed for mixed choir did not gain much attention--most of his works did not fit the liturgical requirement of the Roman Catholic Church and were heavily criticized by the Cecilians. The analyses in this thesis unveil the aesthetic nature of Rheinberger’s a cappella sacred music for mixed choir. Firstly, his works are short and accessible for general choirs. Secondly, he composed his sacred music with traditional harmony, and he created variety under the scope of balanced structures. Overall Rheinberger crafted his works with many well-conceived details. I hope this thesis will serve as a foundational reference for Rheinberger’s a cappella sacred music for mixed choir and raise an interest in his music.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The 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

    “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

    We 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
