  • La Generazione Dell'ottanta and the Italian Sound
    LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND A DISSERTATION IN Trumpet Performance Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by ALBERTO RACANATI M.M., Western Illinois University, 2016 B.A., Conservatorio Piccinni, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2021 LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND Alberto Racanati, Candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 ABSTRACT . La Generazione dell’Ottanta (The Generation of the Eighties) is a generation of Italian composers born in the 1880s, all of whom reached their artistic maturity between the two World Wars and who made it a point to part ways musically from the preceding generations that were rooted in operatic music, especially in the Verismo tradition. The names commonly associated with the Generazione are Alfredo Casella (1883-1947), Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973), Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), and Ottorino Respighi (1879- 1936). In their efforts to create a new music that sounded unmistakingly Italian and fueled by the musical nationalism rampant throughout Europe at the time, the four composers took inspiration from the pre-Romantic music of their country. Individually and collectively, they embarked on a journey to bring back what they considered the golden age of Italian music, with each one yielding a different result. iii Through the creation of artistic associations facilitated by the fascist government, the musicians from the Generazione established themselves on the international scene and were involved with performances of their works around the world.

Under the terms of this agree- ment, the Florida- based restaurant would now hold exclusivity over Disney’s array of animated characters, and working alongside US toy manufacturers could license collectible toys as part of its meal packages based on characters from the studio’s animated features Beauty and the Beast (Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, 1991), Aladdin (Ron Clements and John Musker, 1992), Th e Lion King (Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff , 1994), Pocahontas (Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg, 1995) and Th e Hunchback of Notre Dame (Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, 1996).1 Produced by Pixar Animation Studio as its fi rst computer- animated feature fi lm but distributed by Disney, Toy Story (John Lasseter, 1995) was likewise subject to this new commercial deal and made commensu- rate with Hollywood’s increasingly synergistic relationship with the fast food market.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Program Notes Program
    Program Notes Program Notes by April L. Racana 24 Jun Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) Overture to "Candide" It has been said that Leonard Bernstein never approached any work the same way twice, and his score for Candide may very well be the epitome of the extent to which he would go to continually rework and revise his compositions. The opening for this show, which has been dubbed both 24 musical and operetta, came on December 1st, 1956 and was based on Jun Voltaire’s eighteenth-century satire, which had been adapted by author Lillian Helman. The first run of the show only lasted 73 performances, however it didn’t take long for the ‘Overture’ to become an orchestral piece on its own, making its debut performance with the New York Philharmonic in January 1957. Over the next thirty years Bernstein continually revised the entire musical numerous times, with varying success in its many transformations. The ‘Overture’ contains a mixture of tunes from the show, including The Best of All Possible Worlds, Oh Happy We, and Glitter and Be Gay. So closely associated with the New York Philharmonic was Bernstein, and so well-loved was this work, that at a memorial concert following Bernstein’s death in 1990, members of the orchestra performed the ‘Overture’ without a conductor as a tribute to the symphony’s Laureate Conductor. Work composed: 1956 World premiere: 26th January, 1957 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3,trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (snare drum, tenor drum, bass drum, triangle, cymbals, glockenspiel, xylophone), harp, strings 26 Program Notes Program Notes George Gershwin (1898-1937) Rhapsody in Blue Originally titled American Rhapsody, George Gershwin was apparently convinced by his lyricist brother, Ira, that the title needed some re-thinking.

  • Upin & Ipin: Promoting Malaysian Culture Values Through Animation
    Upin & Ipin: Promoting malaysian culture values through animation Dahlan Bin Abdul Ghani Universiti Kuala Lumpur [email protected] Recibido: 20 de enero de 2015 Aceptado: 12 de febrero de 2015 Abstract Malaysian children lately have been exposed or influenced heavily by digital media entertainment. The rise of such entertainment tends to drive them away from understanding and appreciating the values of Malaysian culture. Upin and Ipin animation has successfully promoted Malaysian folklore culture and has significantly portrayed the art of Malaysian values including Islamic values by providing the platform for harmonious relationship among different societies or groups or religious backgrounds. The focus of this research is to look into the usage of Malaysian culture iconic visual styles such as backgrounds, lifestyles, character archetypes and narrative (storytelling). Therefore, we hope that this research will benefit the younger generation by highlighting the meaning and importance of implicit Malaysian culture. Key words: Upin and Ipin; animation; narrative; folklore; culture; character archetypes. Upin e Ipin: promoviendo la cultura malasia a través de los valores de la animación Resumen Recientemente los niños en Malasia están siendo fuertemente expuestos cuando no influenciados por los medios masivos de entretenimiento digital. Esto les lleva una falta de comprensión y apreciación de la importancia de los valores de su propia cultura. La serie de animación propia Upin & Ipin ha promovido con éxito las diferentes culturas de Malasia y obtenido valores culturales significativos que representan a su arte, incluyendo el islámico, y proporcionando así una plataforma de relación armónica entre los diferentes grupos que componen la sociedad en Malasia, ya sea civil o religiosa.

  • International Journal of Creative Multimedia
    International Journal of Creative Multimedia Promoting Positive Values While Emphasising on Aesthetical Perspectives in University Students through Adaptation of Knowles Seven Step Process of Andragogical Approach Juhanita Jiman [email protected] University Malaysia of Computer Science and Engineering (UNIMY) Abstract This paper intends to illustrate how Knowles’ seven step process of androgogical approach can help educators to better facilitate animation students with acquired technological knowledge and skills while exposing them to critical aesthetical elements and ethical principles. It is important for educators to understand that they are dealing with young adults who are highly affected by their environments in this borderless world. Therefore, educators are responsible for more than just academics; they also have social roles. To resolve these concerns, an effective androgogical approach can be advantageous for both educators and students. We used to assume that teaching pedagogy was necessary at all levels of education; however, since university students are no longer children, pedagogical methods are not entirely relevant to them. Pedagogy is a teaching method that focuses on children, while andragogy is a teaching approach that focuses on adults and helps them learn more effectively. When people grow older, they become more self- reliant and accountable for their actions. The pedagogical model, in several ways, fails to take care for such developmental shifts, resulting in individual stress, frustration, and resistance. Due to the rapid development in technology, animation students have become highly aggressive in their pursuit of technological expertise, leading them to ignore and overlook the importance of a story's core values. As educators, we must not only help them achieve their goals in terms of technical abilities, and professional experience, but also teach them what is right and wrong, and inspire them to instil moral principles in their work.
