Reshaping American Music: the Quotation of Shape-Note Hymns by Twentieth-Century Composers

Cassaro, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Music Mary S. Lewis, Professor, Department of Music Alan Shockley, Assistant Professor, Cole Conservatory of Music Philip E. Smith, Associate Professor, Department of English Dissertation Advisor: Deane L. Root, Professor, Department of Music ii Copyright © by Joanna Ruth Smolko 2009 iii RESHAPING AMERICAN MUSIC: THE QUOTATION OF SHAPE-NOTE HYMNS BY TWENTIETH-CENTURY COMPOSERS Joanna Ruth Smolko, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 Throughout the twentieth century, American composers have quoted nineteenth-century shape- note hymns in their concert works, including instrumental and vocal works and film scores. When referenced in other works the hymns become lenses into the shifting web of American musical and national identity. This study reveals these complex interactions using cultural and musical analyses of six compositions from the 1930s to the present as case studies. The works presented are Virgil Thomson’s film score to The River (1937), Aaron Copland’s arrangement of “Zion’s Walls” (1952), Samuel Jones’s symphonic poem Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1974), Alice Parker’s opera Singers Glen (1978), William Duckworth’s choral work Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1980-81), and the score compiled by T Bone Burnett for the film Cold Mountain (2003). -

Mixtapes and Turntablism: Djs’ Perspectives on Musical Shape
Empirical Musicology Review Vol. 8, No. 1, 2013 Mixtapes and turntablism: DJs’ perspectives on musical shape ALINKA E. GREASLEY[1] University of Leeds HELEN M. PRIOR[2] King’s College London ABSTRACT: The notion of musical shape is widely used by performing musicians, but most studies have focused on classical performing contexts. This paper extends this research to DJs performing on turntables, chosen in light of existing evidence from a questionnaire study suggesting that shape may be a useful concept for some DJs. This paper presents an interview study investigating the use and understanding of musical shaping by three professional DJs with varied backgrounds. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings suggest that DJs do use the notion of shape implicitly when planning and executing their sets, and that playing sets without any shaping involves playing the music badly. DJs reported using the idea of shaping to modify a track while it was playing; to help control the transition between tracks; and in relation to the overall trajectory of a set. There was evidence that participants understood musical shaping multi-modally, through gesture and visual representation as well as sound; and results show ways in which DJs draw on heuristics to signify complex combinations of technical devices that create a particular musical shape or sound. The findings are considered in relation to existing work on performers’ use of musical shape as well as work on the practice of DJs. Submitted 2013 January 15; accepted 2013 July 23. KEYWORDS: musical shaping, DJs, mixtapes, turntablism, scratching INTRODUCTION THE notion of musical shape is widely used by performing musicians, but has only recently become more common as a focus of study. -

Perfume Genius on Being Honest
April 7, 2017 - Perfume Genius is the project of Tacoma, Washington-based singer/songwriter, Mike Hadreas. He’s released four albums: Learning (2010), Put Your Back N 2 It (2012), Too Bright (2014), and No Shape (2017). His main collaborator is his partner, Alan Wyffels. Hadreas is active on Twitter, where he often jokes about wearing a giant blouse. As told to Brandon Stosuy, 1896 words. Tags: Music, Process, Collaboration, Anxiety. Perfume Genius on being honest “I’m really bad at being busy. To be honest, I'm bad at not being busy, too.” What is it like being in a creative partnership with someone who’s also your partner? It’s a lot. We’re around each other 24 hours a day. Just relationship wise, you have to learn how to do that. He’s studied music and went to school for music, which is something I didn’t do. So, he hears things differently than I do. He teaches piano, so he’ll go to work doing that and then I’ll go in my room and write. Then when he comes home I play him what I’ve made. In the beginning, I’ll have mostly the mood and the spirit of it. He can hear the actual music and the structure and the chords more than I do in the moment. So, if it’s good, we can kind of balance each other out. Is there ever time, when you’re working on a project, and you just need to find space? In a way. We’re very different creatively. -
A Deep Learning Architecture for Histology Image Classification
A DEEP LEARNING ARCHITECTURE FOR HISTOLOGY IMAGE CLASSIFICATION Chia-Yu Kao 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 Computer Science. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Leonard McMillan Vladimir Jojic Marc Niethammer Deborah O’Brien Fernando Pardo Manuel de Villena ©2018 Chia-Yu Kao ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Chia-Yu Kao: A Deep Learning Architecture for Histology Image Classification (Under the direction of Leonard McMillan) Over the past decade, a machine learning technique called deep-learning has gained prominence in computer vision because of its ability to extract semantics from natural images. However, in contrast to the natural images, deep learning methods have been less effective for analyzing medical histology images. Analyzing histology images involves the classification of tissue according to cell types and states, where the differences in texture and structure are often subtle between states. These qualitative differences between histology and natural images make transfer learning difficult and limit the use of deep learning methods for histology image analysis. This dissertation introduces two novel deep learning architectures, that address these limitations. Both provide intermediate hints to aid deep learning models. The first deep learning architecture is constructed based on stacked autoencoders with an additional layer, called a hyperlayer. The hyper- layer is an intermediate hint that captures image features at different scales. The second architecture is a two-tiered Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), with an intermediate representation, called a pixel/region labeling. The pixel/region labels provide a normalized semantic description that can be used as an input to a subsequent image classifier.
