  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • Acknowledgements
    i Acknowledgements As I wonder at the fact that my thesis journey is at an end, I want to take this opportunity to thank those without whom this thesis wouldn’t be possible. First and foremost, I want to thank Dr. Priscilla Layne for being a constant source of support, information, and encouragement throughout my four years at Carolina. You have given me opportunities I couldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams, and being able to work with you on this thesis, and on Black German Studies as a whole, has changed the course of my academic and professional life. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Shayne Legassie for always lending a helping hand, even when asked at the last minute possible; without your matter-of-fact and caring advice, I wouldn’t have taken my passion for Black German Studies and turned it into a thesis. Knowing that I have professors like you behind me to advise and help me makes thesis writing and graduating approachable and exciting. There have been many people in my life before I came to Carolina who were invaluable to my academic journey. Dr. Amy Marshall of Raleigh Charter High School, thank you for opening the door to Comparative Literature and Black German Studies for me. Your advice to study Comparative Literature was the turning point of my academic career, and if you had not invited me to a panel discussion on African-American GIs in Germany, I would not have met my mentor and advisor, Dr. Layne. Last and certainly not least, I would like to thank my family for supporting me even when they had no idea what I was writing, why, or where I was going next; letting me know that I always have a place to fall back to makes it easier to take the next step.

    Portrait d’artiste : Kenny Cheyney http://www.kennychesney.com/home.php enneth Arnold (Kenny) Chesney est né le 26 Mars 1968, à Knoxville (Tennessee), mais il passe toute son enfance, à quelques pas de là, à Luttrell. K Son père David, est professeur dans une école primaire et sa mère Karen tient un salon de coiffure. David et Karen ont également une fille, Jennifer, qui est plus jeune. Ses parents divorceront plus tard. A 19 ans Kenny reçoit sa première guitare à Noël. En à peine trois mois, il apprend à jouer la célèbre chanson des Eagles : "Tequila Sunrise", qui lui donne véritablement le goût pour la musique. En 1990, Kenny sort diplômé de la East Tennessee State University de Johnson City (Tennessee) dans une section marketing. Il fait aussi partie de l'équipe de football de l'université, où il occupe le poste de quarterback. Mais c'est bien vers la musique que le jeune Kenny va se tourner ! Tout d'abord en jouant dans des bars de la région de Johnson City, avec pour musiciens des amis qu'il a rencontrés à l'université. Ceux-ci sont d'ailleurs devenus par la suite les musiciens de la chanteuse bluegrass Alisson Krauss. En 1991, Kenny enregistre son premier album, à Bristol en Virginie. Celui-ci se vendra à un millier d'exemplaires, ce qui lui permettra tout de même de s'acheter sa première "vraie" guitare : une Martin. L'année suivante, il décroche un contrat avec la maison de disques Nashville BMI. Cependant c'est sur un label indépendant, Capricorn Records, que sort le premier album grand public de Kenny, ‘’In My Wildest Dreams’’ qui sera vendu à 10 000 exemplaires.

  • The Interpretation of Dreams Sigmund Freud (1900)
    The Interpretation of Dreams Sigmund Freud (1900) PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION Wheras there was a space of nine years between the first and second editions of this book, the need of a third edition was apparent when little more than a year had elapsed. I ought to be gratified by this change; but if I was unwilling previously to attribute the neglect of my work to its small value, I cannot take the interest which is now making its appearance as proof of its quality. The advance of scientific knowledge has not left The Interpretation of Dreams untouched. When I wrote this book in 1899 there was as yet no "sexual theory," and the analysis of the more complicated forms of the psychoneuroses was still in its infancy. The interpretation of dreams was intended as an expedient to facilitate the psychological analysis of the neuroses; but since then a profounder understanding of the neuroses has contributed towards the comprehension of the dream. The doctrine of dream-interpretation itself has evolved in a direction which was insufficiently emphasized in the first edition of this book. From my own experience, and the works of Stekel and other writers, [1] I have since learned to appreciate more accurately the significance of symbolism in dreams (or rather, in unconscious thought). In the course of years, a mass of data has accumulated which demands consideration. I have endeavored to deal with these innovations by interpolations in the text and footnotes. If these additions do not always quite adjust themselves to the framework of the treatise, or if the earlier text does not everywhere come up to the standard of our present knowledge, I must beg indulgence for this deficiency, since it is only the result and indication of the increasingly rapid advance of our science.
