  • An Analysis of Hungarian Obituaries
    REMEMBERING LIVES: AN ANALYSIS OF HUNGARIAN OBITUARIES (1961-2000) By Zsofia Nagy Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors Professors Vlad Naumescu and Jean-Louis Fabiani CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 ABSTRACT The thesis examines obituaries appearing in the Hungarian daily, Népszabadság during the second half of the 20th century. It argues from a social constructionist stance that the reading of these texts gives us insights about the prevailing norms and values related to death. It posits that the issue of death brings to the surface general cultural values as well. Its aim is to see how these norms and values have changed as the political and social structure changed in Hungary. The paper also analyses how obituaries are activities of social memory through the construction of biographies of the deceased.

DOI: 10.15385/jmo.2012.3.2.2 Available at: https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/musicalofferings/vol3/iss2/2 Béla Bartók: The Father of Ethnomusicology Document Type Article Abstract Béla Bartók birthed the field of ethnomusicology as an academic discipline through his tireless pursuits of folk music, his exposition of the sound of the rural people, and his incorporation of folk-style into his own personal compositions. His work revealed to the world that folk music exists, is important, and stands as an independent academic discipline. I argue that Bartók’s efforts established the field of ethnomusicology because he was one of the first musicians to branch into the study of ethnic music by travelling to collect samples of music, by aurally recording and transcribing folk-tunes, by re-writing these songs into understandable notation with new harmonization, and by then employing this folk-style in his own original compositions.

    A Historical Overview and Analysis of the Use of Hungarian Folk Music in Zoltán Kodály’s Háry János Suite, Dances of Marosszék, and Dances of Galánta Copyright 2011 Author: Corinne Kay Ong Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Paul Laird ________________________________ Dr. Charles Freeman ________________________________ Dr. Eric Stomberg ________________________________ Dr. Stephanie Zelnick Date Defended: 05/17/2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Corinne Kay Ong certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Historical Overview and Analysis of the Use of Hungarian Folk Music in Zoltán Kodály’s Háry János Suite, Dances of Marosszék, and Dances of Galánta ________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Paul Laird Date approved: 05/17/2011 iii Abstract At the beginning of the twentieth century, many composers looked towards the music of their own heritage as source material for their original compositions. In Hungary, one composer who dedicated a significant portion of his life to the research, study, and transcription of folk music is Zoltán Kodály. Three of his orchestral works dating from 1926 to 1933 make imaginative use of various Hungarian folk melodies within orchestral textures that also include the traditional idioms of concert music. These three works are the Háry János Suite, Dances of Marosszék, and Dances of Galánta. These three pieces are closely examined for their adherence to the customs of Hungarian folk music, influence of Western practices within the work, and how Kodály combines the two elements to form original ideas.
