  • Current Directions in Ecomusicology
    Current Directions in Ecomusicology This volume is the first sustained examination of the complex perspectives that comprise ecomusicology—the study of the intersections of music/sound, culture/society, and nature/environment. Twenty-two authors provide a range of theoretical, methodological, and empirical chapters representing disciplines such as anthropology, biology, ecology, environmental studies, ethnomusicology, history, literature, musicology, performance studies, and psychology. They bring their specialized training to bear on interdisciplin- ary topics, both individually and in collaboration. Emerging from the whole is a view of ecomusicology as a field, a place where many disciplines come together. The topics addressed in this volume—contemporary composers and traditional musics, acoustic ecology and politicized soundscapes, mate- rial sustainability and environmental crisis, familiar and unfamiliar sounds, local places and global warming, birds and mice, hearing and listening, bio- music and soundscape ecology, and more—engage with conversations in the various realms of music study as well as in environmental studies and cultural studies. As with any healthy ecosystem, the field of ecomusicol- ogy is dynamic, but this edited collection provides a snapshot of it in a formative period. Each chapter is short, designed to be accessible to the non- specialist, and includes extensive bibliographies; some chapters also provide further materials on a companion website. An introduction and interspersed editorial summaries help guide readers through four current directions— ecological, fieldwork, critical, and textual—in the field of ecomusicology. Aaron S. Allen is Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA, where he is also director of the Envi- ronmental and Sustainability Studies Program.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “ALAN LOMAX'S iPOD?”: SMITHSONIAN GLOBAL SOUND AND APPLIED ETHNOMUSICOLOGY ON THE INTERNET David Font, Master of Arts, 2007. Directed By: Jonathan Dueck, PhD School of Music The phenomenon of digital music on the Internet marks a turning point in the way human beings make, listen to, and share music. Smithsonian Global Sound is, variously: 1) a digital music download service; 2) the central hub of a network of digital music archives; and 3) the Internet branch of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. Like all things vital, Smithsonian Global Sound is also developing rapidly. This thesis synthesizes a brief history of the Smithsonian Global Sound project, explores some of the vital issues related to the project, and offers a series of observations and recommendations for the project's development. Tracing the roots of Smithsonian Global Sound back to early archival efforts by music scholars, Moses Asch’s Folkways Records, the acquisition of the Folkways catalog by the Smithsonian, and the development and launch of Smithsonian Global Sound, the project is examined as a example of applied ethnomusicology on the Internet. “ALAN LOMAX'S iPOD?”: SMITHSONIAN GLOBAL SOUND AND APPLIED ETHNOMUSICOLOGY ON THE INTERNET By David Font.

Prior to this period, the piano education was of a nature of amateur music making, and learning to play the instrument was carried out privately. For less than 100 years the piano school of Kazakhstan has reached a high level: the names of Kazakh pianists - Guldana Zholymbetova, Zhaniya Aubakirova, Amir Tebenikhin, Yerzhan Temirzhanov, Gulzhamilya Kadyrbekova and others - are known abroad.

  • The Influence of Kazakh Folklore on The
    THE INFLUENCE OF KAZAKH FOLKLORE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF VIOLIN PERFORMANCE IN KAZAKHSTAN A Monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Aisha Dossumova May, 2016 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Charles Abramovic, Advisory Chair, Keyboard Department (Piano) Dr. Eduard Schmieder, Artistic Director for Strings (Violin) Dr. Vladimir Dyo, Instrumental Studies Department (Violin) Dr. Edward D.

The monograph will include a brief discussion of the history of Kazakhstan, a historical background of folk music and its importance to the development of violin performance in Kazakhstan, a discussion of Kazakh folk strings instruments in relation to violin performance in Kazakhstan, and discussion of selected violin works by Kazakh composers with strong folk influences. A catalogue of violin works of Kazakhstan that use folkloric material will be provided as well. In my study I will rely on available sources, including books, articles, dissertations, reviews, recordings, visual materials and musical scores. I hope my monograph will help to introduce, promote and give a better understanding of Kazakh violin repertoire to English-speaking scholars and musicians. ii In memory of my father Akylbek Dossumov iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Charles Abramovic for his excellent guidance and support. His valuable comments and suggestions helped me to complete this work.

At the present stage, Kazakh musical culture is heterogeneous. It represents traditions coexisting at the same time and interacting with each other: Kazakh ethnic and newly established composer school (tradition). Examining changes in cultural landscapes of the 20th century I reveal the peculiarities of interaction and dialogue between two kinds of culture: ethnic and global (endogenous and exogenous). The procedures include the complex study of the history of Kazakh culture in the 20th century, stylistic analysis of traditional and composer’s music, semiotic approach to intercultural interaction, as far as a comparative analysis of oral and written music of 19th and 20th centuries. On one hand, dramatic changes in the structure of music culture were caused by external objective reasons: new industrial and postindustrial civilization phases (urbanization and information technologies); intensification of interaction with western (mainly Russian) cultures, etC. On the other hand, some changes were inspired by inner factors: diverse development of local song and kui (dombyra piece) traditions; Soviet cultural policy. As a result new type (or layer) of national culture - Kazakh Composers’ music - appeared. It was connected with the formation of a national style based on transcriptions and borrowing.
