But as each of these things changes, do our tastes also change to reflect the present, or remain fixed, reflecting our past? Here, we investigate how where a person lives shapes their musical preferences, using geographic relocation to construct quasi-natural experiments that measure short- and long-term effects. Analyzing comprehensive data on over 16 million users on Spotify, we show that relocation within the United States has only a small impact on individuals' tastes, which remain more similar to those of their past environments. We then show that the age gap between a person and the music they consume indicates that adolescence, and likely their environment during these years, shapes their lifelong musical tastes. Our results demonstrate the robustness of individuals' musical identity, and shed new light on the development of preferences. Music is the soundtrack of our lives.

AUTOR MAGISTER ARLETI MARIA MOLERIO ROSA DIRECTOR CUENCA – ECUADOR 2016 Universidad de Cuenca RESUMEN En la presente investigación proponemos un estudio de un género del cual no se ha tenido muchas referencias, pocos exponentes han realizado propuestas sobre la temática, el pop lírico , basándonos en un inicio en las características de la música vocal y el estudio de su técnica e interpretación. La música vocal es un tema muy amplio, por eso solamente nos centraremos en principios específicos como la técnica, los diferentes tipos de voces, agrupaciones involucradas en la historia de la música vocal desde mediados de siglo XX, arreglos vocales para cuarteto masculino, etcétera. El pop lírico u operatic pop , como también se le conoce, al ser un estilo nuevo relativamente en nuestro país, será objeto principal de nuestro estudio, conoceremos en qué consiste y cuáles son las características que hacen de este estilo tan versátil al momento de fusionarse con diferentes géneros, en este caso, música nacional ecuatoriana ––pasillo, albazo, fox incaico––, música latinoamericana y música popular ––balada pop–– y el repertorio escogido, interpretado con técnica de canto lírico. Detallaremos el proceso compositivo y sus lineamientos generales así como del formato instrumental utilizado en los arreglos, tanto musicales como vocales, y de qué manera se han fusionado para una interpretación adecuada en un concierto de graduación.

“Reviewing the Situation”: Oliver! and the Musical Afterlife of Dickens's
“Reviewing the Situation”: Oliver! and the Musical Afterlife of Dickens’s Novels Marc Napolitano A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by Advisor: Allan Life Reader: Laurie Langbauer Reader: Tom Reinert Reader: Beverly Taylor Reader: Tim Carter © 2009 Marc Napolitano ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Marc Napolitano: “Reviewing the Situation”: Oliver! and the Musical Afterlife of Dickens’s Novels (Under the direction of Allan Life) This project presents an analysis of various musical adaptations of the works of Charles Dickens. Transforming novels into musicals usually entails significant complications due to the divergent narrative techniques employed by novelists and composers or librettists. In spite of these difficulties, Dickens’s novels have continually been utilized as sources for stage and film musicals. This dissertation initially explores the elements of the author’s novels which render his works more suitable sources for musicalization than the texts of virtually any other canonical novelist. Subsequently, the project examines some of the larger and more complex issues associated with the adaptation of Dickens’s works into musicals, specifically, the question of preserving the overt Englishness of one of the most conspicuously British authors in literary history while simultaneously incorporating him into a genre that is closely connected with the techniques, talents, and tendencies of the American stage. A comprehensive overview of Lionel Bart’s Oliver! (1960), the most influential Dickensian musical of all time, serves to introduce the predominant theoretical concerns regarding the modification of Dickens’s texts for the musical stage and screen.
