Art Music of Kosovo has gone through different political, social and economic situations as all other countries which were part of the then ex- Yugoslavia (1918-1991). However, the impact was stronger due to the beginning of the last war in Kosovo (commencing in 1990, almost a decade before the war), a war that made ten mandatory years desertion of the cultural and educational life of Albanians in Kosovo. The above-mentioned political and social circumstances, as well as other dramatic changes within Kosovo have negatively affected the development of Albanian Art Music in Kosovo, which, from my perspective, was and is a neutral sphere of identity, as it started in a vacuum – i.e., an emptiness, in terms of its activities which did not exist before 20th century. \u0000This article, strives to identify the existence of Art Music in Kosovo whose development when observed, acts as evidence just how great an achievement can be reached over a very short period of time.

The purpose of this study is to generate educational material through the collaborative analysis and editing of six music transcriptions of Malay asli music for a trio of flute, viola, and piano. This research stems from questioning whether the six transcriptions sufficiently convey traditional music characteristics and features or whether these characteristics and features need to be imitated from the original sound. The research is practice-led, employing experimental and analytical approaches combined with participants, also assuming the role of researcher and collecting data via self-observation. Following the outcome of recapitulation via artistic analysis, the six music transcriptions were edited with a modified interweaving of voices, a range of sound pitches for each musical instrument, and a classification of the rhythmic styles, music structure, and texture. The transcriptions produced resemble typical Western music scores, which are required to convey traditional music characteristics through the imitation of previously listened to audio or video recordings of traditional ensemble performances. An advanced understanding of interpreted transcriptions through artistic analysis may have significant practical benefits for music performers, educators, and learners preparing to perform this genre of music. Additionally, it might provide a future framework for scholarly work on classical ensembles.","PeriodicalId":36229,"journal":{"name":"Rast Muzikoloji Dergisi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47872970","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}

Film music was influenced by late European Romantic music, and the Hollywood film score system was established based on composers of European descent, followed by the fusion of numerous emerging musical styles, such as Jazz, Rock, and EDM, etc. The orchestral music as the main composition of the film score has a sense of aural expectation in the sound expression, which largely comes from the chromaticization of the harmonies. When analyzing Hollywood film music, it is inevitable that chromatic harmony progression cannot be accurately expressed by traditional tonal music analysis. This study analyzes the chromatic harmony progression of chromatic mediant relationship in the film scores of four composers from the perspective of neo-Riemannian theory. And the correlation between the four sets of transformations and chromatically harmonic progression, H transformation, PL transformation, LP transformation, and RP transformation, is derived from the comparative analysis of neo-Riemannian theory and chromatic mediant relationship. These transformations have deepened the negative emotions of angst and fear or the positive emotions of grandeur and sacredness in film narratives. Exploring and expanding the use of neo-Riemannian theory in film music analysis has positive implications for the development of film music by demonstrating the rationality, accuracy, and intuitiveness of neo-Riemannian theory in the process of film musicology.","PeriodicalId":36229,"journal":{"name":"Rast Muzikoloji Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66339020","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}

According to critics, the Republic of Turkey has faced to the West due to the “nationalist ideological” policies pursued and has become alienated from its own culture. Towards the principles of the music reform, the Turkish Art Music belonging to the Ottoman was abandoned and the compilation of Turkish folk songs and their arrangement in Western technique constitute the reason for this alienation. However, this alienation manifests itself as a cultural reflection of the Western-elitist ideology. Critics claim that everything that belongs to the music revolution, in terms of its ideological nature, also entails a number of negative consequences. \u0000The aim of this study is to make a philosophical analysis of the concept of ideology, to object to the criticisms that base the music reform on ideological foundations, and to suggest that the music reform consists of idealistic principles, not ideological ones.
