Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music. -
Biografia | Versão Espanhol Carlinhos Brown Fue El Primer Músico En
Biografia | Versão Espanhol Carlinhos Brown fue el primer músico en formar parte de la Academia del Oscar y a recibir los títulos de Embajador Iberoamericano de la Cultura y Embajador de Justicia Restaurativa de Bahía. Cantautor, arreglador musical, multiinstrumentista, técnico de The Voice Brasil, The Voice Kids y artista visual, el esteta intuitivo y gestual Carlinhos Brown, ha logrado construir una trayectoria consagrada por su actuación musical, social, percusiva y por la belleza de sus actuaciones. GRAN HOMBRE DE MOVIMIENTO Nacido en 1962 con el nombre de Antonio Carlos Santos de Freitas en la comunidad del Candeal Pequeño de Brotas, un quilombo de resistencia africana en el corazón de la ciudad de Salvador de Bahía, Carlinhos Brown promocionó a lo largo de su carrera, diversas revitalizaciones rítmicas, desarrollando ricas y significativas conexiones con sus raíces ancestrales. Reconocido como uno de los artistas más creativos e innovadores de la cultura brasileña, vive continuamente en búsqueda de nuevas experimentaciones sonoras. En la juventud se convertiría en el responsable por la mayor parte de las revoluciones musicales de su época. A partir de eso, hizo parte directamente de los primeros arreglos que dieron origen al Axé Music y al Samba Reggae, haciendo centenares de composiciones exitosas, contabilizando más de 800 canciones registradas y más de mil grabaciones registradas en el banco de datos Ecad. En el mismo barrio de Candeal Pequeño de Brotas, donde nació, creó contenidos artísticos llenos de vigor para el escenario de la música pop brasileña con gran repercusión por el mundo como, por ejemplo, la Timbalada, movimiento percusivo vivo que potencializa talentos, creado en principios de los años 90 y que sigue en constante transformación bajo la luz del maestro Brown. -

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and -
Co-Site Electromagnetic Interference Troubleshooting and Validation of Suppressing Performance by Extrapolation Method
Co-site Electromagnetic Interference Troubleshooting and Validation of Suppressing Performance by Extrapolation Method Ma Xie Southwest Communication Institute, Postbox 810, Chengdu, CHINA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Co-site interference is becoming an increasingly significant problem in electronic systems. Ever increasing demand for more sophisticated, higher performance communication systems on one hand and the need for high density integrations in congested electromagnetic environments on the other have introduced numerous challenges to system designers. In this paper, the procedure of troubleshooting interference from vehicle to co-site radio system is detailed, and an approach for suppressing the interference is proposed. With the equivalent experiment and extrapolation method, the efficacy of suppressing is easily and effectively predicted. Also the signal coverage test and error analysis of prediction are reported. 1. Introduction The modern military operations and emergency communication for rescue have created the need for more co- operation and higher efficiency. Thus, the lightweight wheeled vehicle integrated kinds of electronic systems forms the high-mobility unit with multi-function. Since last two decades, the high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle has been widely used in both military and civil rescue. There has been much effort put into the design of radio systems and antennas in order to increase the wireless signal coverage during the past years. But meanwhile, the co-site Electro- Magnetic Interference (EMI) caused by the close proximity of antennas mounted on a space limited vehicle, has become a significant problem. Issues associated with co-site interference are multifold. Techniques to mitigate such effects are thus critical for ensuring reliable communications. -
Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands. -

Risk of Malignancy in a Multinodular Goiter: Report of Two Cases with a Literature Review MY Razaleigh1, a Nor Safariny2, B Anita3
CASE REPORT Risk of Malignancy in a Multinodular Goiter: Report of Two Cases with a Literature Review MY Razaleigh1, A Nor Safariny2, B Anita3 ABSTRACT Goiter is a common disease in Malaysia. It can be classified as retrosternal, substernal, and intrathoracic goiter. According to this classification, the approach to surgery differs. We have two cases presented with a multinodular goiter with evidence from imaging and histopathology. Both cases were treated as intrathoracic goiters and underwent thyroidectomy with the postoperative pathology report indicating them as micropapillary carcinomas. We will discuss regarding management options for both patients according to the pathology. In conclusion, management will differ based on classification and postoperative pathology reports.

Vocal Pedagogy As It Relates to Choral Ensembles
Vocal Pedagogy as It Relates to Choral Ensembles Compiled by Dalan M. Guthrie March 2019 0 Introduction Vocal pedagogy is a topic that has been well-defined for centuries. There are comprehensive books, treatises, dissertations and opinions on every facet of technique as it relates to healthy production of voice in the bel-canto style. For most of its existence as a topic, it has been almost completely limited to the individual study of voice as it pertains to the soloist. Vocal pedagogy as it pertains to choral ensembles is a relatively recent topic of study that has only started to be defined in the last 50 or so years. It is the aim of this bibliography to comprehensively represent the corpus of research of vocal pedagogy as it relates to the choral ensemble. This includes helping to define the role of the choral director, voice teacher, and singer in their responsibility in the education of vocal performance in both solo and choral settings. The nature of this research is pedagogical. Because of this, it is difficult to scientifically define a “correct” methodology of teaching voice. However, the teaching of voice has been evolving for centuries and continues to evolve. As we learn more about vocal science, we can apply them to old models and find new techniques to implement them in simple ways. The techniques change and will always change, but the underlying principles are being reinforced as necessary by authority figures on the subject and by those who practice voice. The stereotype that the comparison of solo and choral singing invariably brings is that of the director and the voice teacher continually at odds with one another over the approach to the vocal education of their students at the secondary and collegiate levels. -
Why Do Singers Sing in the Way They
Why do singers sing in the way they do? Why, for example, is western classical singing so different from pop singing? How is it that Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe could sing together? These are the kinds of questions which John Potter, a singer of international repute and himself the master of many styles, poses in this fascinating book, which is effectively a history of singing style. He finds the reasons to be primarily ideological rather than specifically musical. His book identifies particular historical 'moments of change' in singing technique and style, and relates these to a three-stage theory of style based on the relationship of singing to text. There is a substantial section on meaning in singing, and a discussion of how the transmission of meaning is enabled or inhibited by different varieties of style or technique.
