  • “The Times They Are A-Changin'”: Flexible Meter and Text Expression in 1960S and 70S Singer-Songwriter Music by Nancy Eliz
    “The Times They Are A-Changin’”: Flexible Meter and Text Expression in 1960s and 70s Singer-Songwriter Music by Nancy Elizabeth Murphy B.Mus., The University of Western Ontario, 2003 M.A., The University of Western Ontario, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Nancy Elizabeth Murphy, 2015 Abstract The 1960s and 70s saw the flowering of the singer-songwriter style, which featured acoustic performances by artists who were the composers and lyricists of their own music. Reflecting their culture, their songs carried messages of personal and political significance. But their music is of technical as well as of social interest. Like classical art song, it often highlights lyrical meaning with various sorts of metric irregularities. In this dissertation, I closely analyze twenty-seven songs by Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Joni Mitchell, and Cat Stevens, in order to characterize the metric style of their songwriting and demonstrate their use of meter as an expressive device. To describe meter in this music requires theories more flexible than those usually applied to groove-based music. The analyses in this dissertation draw not only from theories of meter as a hierarchy of beat streams, but also upon theories of metrical process and prosody, in order to create transcriptions, to describe precisely listeners' sensations of meter, and to propose expressive rationales for metric settings. As an introduction to the style and the theoretical issues, Chapter 1 considers the problems of conceiving of meter in the expressively timed context of Mitchell’s “The Fiddle and the Drum.” Chapter 2 examines the existing methods for analyzing meter in music and poetry, in order to find some productive ways to analyze this metrically fluctuant repertoire.

  • Renegotiations of Canadian Space in Contemporary CBC Audio Distribution Models
    Miles Weafer Renegotiations of Canadian Space in Contemporary CBC Audio Distribution Models The organization of space and time effected by these developments—by means of ‘content-free’ media such as the telegraph and the train, as much as the newspaper or photograph—structures the material forms and limits of knowledge, as well as our relationships with place and with one another. Here Innis reveals the limits and inadequacies of analyzing power in terms of representation. (Berland 1999: 291) This paper treats the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) online ventures as examples of the national public broadcaster’s continued negotiation of Canadian space. More specifically, the paper looks at the online streaming and podcasting of English language radio broadcast content. This paper accounts for CBC Radio One’s distribution of audio programming—historically by way of national broadcasts and more recently by way of online streaming and podcast archives—as models of Canadian cultural transmission, which marginalize outlying Canadian regions in relation to production centres in Toronto and Montréal. This paper treats CBC Radio One’s collection, assemblage and transmission of programming as better indicators of the inequalities between production centers and outlying regions than any particular programming content. With focus on the most recent incarnation of the CBC radio morning interview show, Q, and drawing from Canadian communication studies, I will outline how the podcasting of English language CBC radio programming both rearticulates the broadcaster’s history and presence as a central manager of Canadian stories, and provides audiences with opportunities to actively undermine this centralized management. Podcasting involves the provision of updated online archives of recordings, accessible for download and playback by computer users at a time of their choice.
