  • Maracas in the Venezuelan Joropo: a Proposed Pedagogical
    MARACAS IN THE VENEZUELAN JOROPO: A PROPOSED PEDAGOGICAL NOTATIONAL SYSTEM by STEPHEN PATRICK PRIMATIC (Under the Direction of THOMAS MCCUTCHEN) ABSTRACT Venezuelan maraca players are highly skilled musicians who must learn many techniques in order to play the instrument properly. To date, there is no notational system that takes into account the myriad of techniques needed to play this instrument. This document proposes a notational system for Venezuelan maracas. The history of the instrument and its use in indigenous music is examined along with notational problems inherent in percussion writing. Transcriptions of performances utilizing this new notation conclude this document. INDEX WORDS: maraca, joropo, notation, percussion, Venezuela.

I analyze practices of cultural consumption involving records in Medell¶³n,Colombia's second largest city and most important industrial center at the time. The study sheds light on some of the complex connections between two simultaneous historical processes during the mid-twentieth century, mass consumption and socio-political strife. Between 1930 and 1953, Colombian society experienced the rise of mass media and mass consumption as well as the outbreak of La Violencia, a turbulent period of social and political strife. Through an analysis of written material, especially the popular press, this work illustrates the use of aesthetic judgments to establish social di®erences in terms of ethnicity, social class, and gender. Another important aspect of the dissertation focuses on the adoption of music gen- res by di®erent groups, not only to demarcate di®erences at the local level, but as a means to inscribe these groups within larger imagined communities.

  • Music from Mexico- Fifth Grade Emily Kirven A. Background I Have
    Music from Mexico- Fifth Grade Emily Kirven A. Background I have chosen to study Mexican culture for this project. I have known for a while that I want to teach in an underserved area, and, statistically, Latino/as often fall into that category. To prepare for my possible student demographic, I want to start researching Mexican music, as it is important to bring students’ cultures into the classroom, especially if they are different than your own. I understand not every Latino/a is from Mexico, but I want to at least start there. I also know nothing about Mexican culture, so this will be a good starting point. When people think of music from Mexico, Mariachi music is what first comes to mind. Mariachi music, also commonly practiced in America, is derived from the French word, “marriage.” This represents the union of sorts of two cultural traditions coming together: European Western classical music and Mexican religious music. Thus, Mariachi ensembles typically consist of both European and Mexican instruments, including violins, guitars, and trumpets, as well as guitar-like rhythmic instruments called vihuelas, a guitarro, which is like a ​ ​ ​ ​ bass guitar, and a Mexican folk harp. Mariachi music started off as an activity people did in the ​ ​ home, but over time it has become more rooted in professionalism. Mariachi ensembles can be hired for parties and weddings across both Mexico and the United States. Another type of Mexican song is the corrido. Corridos are sung in Spanish, with ​ ​ ​ ​ opinionated lyrics about historical and political events. They are thought to have come to fruition after the Mexican-American War, which prompted racial tension and anti-American sentiments.
