In particular, it examines manual interactions with imaginary objects (MIIOs) commonly observed among vocalists, including actions such as stretching, pulling, pushing, and throwing, as well as the physical effort exerted on these occasions. The analysis employs video observations of originally recorded audio-visual material from a Dhrupad vocal improvisation performance. A previous association analysis conducted between MIIO gesture classes, perceived effort levels, and melodic aspects revealed a certain level of consistency among the two vocalists, albeit with individual variations revealing an idiosyncratic aspect in the way these gestures might be expressed. Given that the selected performers (brothers, Umakant and Ramakant Gundecha) share the same musical background and experience and that they are recorded singing in duet in a single performance of the same melodic mode (raga), instead of examining their common gesturing manners, the current paper focuses exclusively on the idiosyncratic deviations in gesturing habits observed between the two brothers and the associations of these gestures to their melodic counterparts. The analysis relies on quantitative statistical methods of pertinent movement and acoustic features, and the results yield valuable insights in ethnomusicology and embodied music cognition. They additionally offer crucial guidance on the use of music technologies and motion capture methods to develop quantitative approaches that complement existing qualitative methodologies.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"46 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140667205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subject of our research is a song for female voice and piano – Sumatra, the key poem of the cycle on which Crnjanski conceived an entire poetic-theoretical concept of the avant-garde literary program – Sumatraism. The work follows Božić's \"librettistic\" work on the poetic template whose continuity and integrity are retained by the composer using minimal interventions, additionally emphasizing the value of Sumatra, as well as other poems. Božić's creative path starts from a complete analysis of the poetic text, positioning the main points of emotional experience, the atmosphere of sensory images and the \"space of happiness\", and musicalisation of the literary source without transforming it. In the architecture of Sumatra, attention is drawn to the diversity of the harmonic palette: from consonant modal chords in triadand expressive seventh-chord forms to the particularly significant role of colouristic nuances of the minor ninth-chord in sporadic gradation to the eleventh chord and the sonority of the whole-scale feature on the stylistic basis of Debussy – Scriabin, but always in the strict function of musical dramaturgy with the preservation of tonality. In this context, the stylistic corridor of Sumatra follows a wide arc of intertwining of Romanticism and Impressionism origin with a national idiom of a wide range of means, radiating precious, complex meanings. Despite the accumulation of heritage of European music that belongs to him in terms of artistic freedom, Božić does not fall under its influence, since the dominant principle of his expression is created by national indigeneity in the use of modernized elements of national tradition, sometimes discreetly interwoven, thus confirming that \"under other conditions, in another time, does the same thing as Mokranjac\".","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"83 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140702621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concertino form is typically an oriental variation of a single lyrical breath, at times singable and danceable at other times, but basically one and the same thought without any prominent dramaturgical contrast; it is a single movement with several lyrical variations. The musical language reveals a distinctive predominant modal harmonization of the tertian principle in building harmony of neo-romantic and early impressionist provenance, which emerges as a result of building on tradition with a controlled touch of modernity and originality.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123726091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been proven that musical abilities already begin to develop in the prenatal period and that different types of abilities have a specific developmental path. Therefore, it is necessary to remember the critical periods for learning music, i.e., time frames within which musical experiences have particular importance. In addition to the informal musical experiences gained in the preschool period, formal music education is undoubtedly one of the best ways to develop musical abilities. The paper discusses the specifics of the music education system in Serbia, more precisely, the age of students that can enroll in programs for various instruments or solo singing. The data presented in the paper points to the conclusion that students that enroll in primary music education at the age of 7 or 8 (which coincides with the most crucial period for learning music) will have better prospects for the timely development of musical abilities when compared to children who begin musical training later. However, it should be held in mind that musical abilities develop even before the start of formal musical training, so efforts should be made to provide children with diverse and valuable musical experiences in the preschool period.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130041937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When we look at music in this context, we notice that directors have often used it as a narrative tool, but to decipher the semantic aspect of music, the recipient needs prior knowledge or an adopted musical cultural code. However, with music as an abstract art, it is very difficult to symbolize the idea of a film director in the right way, so for that reason, music as a symbol of the director's imagination can be interpreted differently.[1] This applies to film music in general, but in the critical theory of film music and film in classical and \"silent\" films, music is seen as otherness and had a role in filling the frames.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115313155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today's abundance of literature has enabled this approach to Jolivet's music in several different ways, but since the author of this text is a flautist himself, a significant part of the work will be devoted to the interpretive aspect through the explication of the practical application of the already elaborated facts. The presentation of the multi-layered aspects of the piece will be made with the help of various critical aspects that will shed light on the cultural and social aspects of Jolivet’s background, while also illustrating important poetical characteristics of his. Methods of artistic research such as historical, analytical, comparative and practical-performance method will be used in this work. Although the composer himself did not provide more extensive program content, we can consider that Chant de Linos belongs to program music, since it clearly evokes certain ideas and concepts. Mapping and defining specific non-musical content contains the first part of the text, while the second part will deal with its practical application. Therefore, the goal of the overall exegesis is to bring the performers to a deeper understanding of the composer's intentions in order to perform the most expressive and meaningful interpretation.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131954153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Legenda o Baš-Čeliku). The paper presents verbal and graphic tools used by these authors in adapting the original text from a monomodal into multimodal media, with a special focus on three research directions. The first is the manner in which the compositional structure of the fairy tale is transferred into the comic and the illustrated book, with the aim of assessing the level of fidelity in these adaptations. The second direction is related to the most important narrative and stylistic differences (e.g., language and tone of narration). The third direction deals with the use of certain comics-specific techniques and resources, such as page layout, use of colour for emphasis, representation of speed and motion, and the presence or absence of particular graphic devices (upfixes and pictorial runes). Finally, the adaptations themselves are compared to each other, highlighting the major similarities and differences between them.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127765931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding the fact that teaching methods define the manner in which students learn, acquire skills, habits and knowledge thus forming their own personalities, and realizing that these methods are the manner, tools and forms of teaching, this paper analyzes the present state of affairs in the secondary music school education as well as the application of relevant methods for teaching Harmony and Counterpoint.

Fingering is a thoughtful determination of the exact order in which fingers are used in a given musical phrase. The main purpose of this paper is to explain how fingering, as an element of the composition created by the performer, affects the expressiveness of the performed musical phrase. The central analysis is aimed at illustrating how various expressive effects can be achieved by using different fingerings to perform the same written musical phrase. As a specific example we showed that the use of different fingers in a certain musical context can produce different cognitive and emotional responses in the mind of the performer, and thus affects the understanding of the music being performed.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122214826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are widespread speculations that female undergraduate theatre students are promiscuous and therefore highly prone to pregnancies and abortions for reasons or factors not confirmed by research. At least no such specific extensive study has been carried out in the University of Benin Theatre on this topic. Yet many female students are branded and treated merely as ‘debased females and prospective prostitutes’, and do not enjoy the goodwill, support, respect and honor their counterparts in the social, basic and environmental sciences as well as other fields of academic studies enjoy. This would be tantamount to a great disservice and injustice that need to be urgently addressed if a rigorous academic inquiry proves otherwise. Not to mention the undiscovered negative impacts the problem may have had, or currently be having on the training and practice of theatre arts in Nigeria: hence this investigation. The methodology, the subjects of study and study sample were carefully and systematically determined. The findings are mostly positive regarding the negative behavior investigated. Hence the recommendations point to measures aimed at checking and restricting these vices as well as their impact to a minimum as well as towards improving the moral, academic and managerial framework of educational theatre programs in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":297431,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis, Series: Visual Arts and Music","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121106139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
