Musical Variation
This book offers an in-depth analysis of musical variation through a systematic approach, heavily influenced by the principles of Grundgestalt and developed variations, both created by the Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). The author introduces a new transformational-derivative model and the theory that supports it, specifically crafted for the examination of tonal music. The idea for this book emerged during a sabbatical at Columbia University, while the content is the product of extensive research conducted at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, resulting in the development of the Model of Derivative Analysis. This model places emphasis on the connections between musical entities rather than viewing them as separate entities. As a case study, the Intermezzo in A Major Op.118/2 by Brahms is selected for analysis. The author's goal is to provide a formal and structured approach while maintaining the text's readability and appeal for both musicians and mathematicians in the field of music theory. The book concludes with the author's recommendations for further research.
The Musical-Mathematical Mind
This book presents a deep spectrum of musical, mathematical, physical, and philosophical perspectives that have emerged in this field at the intersection of music and mathematics. In particular the contributed chapters introduce advanced techniques and concepts from modern mathematics and physics, deriving from successes in domains such as Topos theory and physical string theory. The authors include many of the leading researchers in this domain, and the book will be of value to researchers working in computational music, particularly in the areas of counterpoint, gesture, and Topos theory.
Mathematics and Computation in Music
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music, MCM 2015, held in London, UK, in June 2015. The 24 full papers and 14 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers feature research that combines mathematics or computation with music theory, music analysis, composition, and performance. They are organized in topical sections on notation and representation, music generation, patterns, performance, similarity and contrast, post-tonal music analysis, geometric approaches, deep learning, and scales.

O alcance da teoria de Heinrich Schenker no Brasil
O objetivo desta obra é demonstrar o alcance do pensamento de Heinrich Schenker no Brasil. O levantamento realizado obedece a três eixos básicos: 1. O trabalho do professor Georg Wassermann, aluno de Schenker, no Rio de Janeiro, entre os anos de 1941 e 1968; 2. Jamary Oliveira e Cristina Gerling, o início da introdução da teoria de Schenker nas Universidades Públicas do Brasil; e 3. O ensino da teoria de Schenker nas Universidades Públicas do Brasil e os livros publicados por autores brasileiros sobre a análise schenkeriana. As metodologias envolvidas na pesquisa incluíram verificação em documentos de época, bibliotecas de teses e dissertações, repositórios digitais de univer...
Alban Berg
Alban Berg: A Research and Information Guide, Third Edition is an annotated bibliography highlighting both the nature of primary sources related to the composer and the scope and significance of the secondary sources that deal with Berg, his compositions, and his influence as a composer. It is a reliable, complete, and useful resource and a starting point for anyone—performer, teacher, student, or scholar—wanting to learn about Berg’s life, works, and cultural milieu. The third edition has 162 additional citations since the publication of the second edition, many arising after the expiration of copyright of Berg’s musical and archival works 2005. Many important new, primary sources of information have appeared, most notably the letter exchanges with his wife, recently published in a three-volume critical edition (in German), as well as letter exchanges with Alma Mahler and Erich Kleiber, and later correspondences with Anton Webern. There has also been a notable increase in the availability of commercial video recordings of Berg's operas, Wozzeck and Lulu.
Tangos & Milongas for Solo Guitar
A new collection by Argentine guitar virtuoso and composer Jorge Morel. This collection features solos by three renowned Latin composers plus two original solo guitar compositions by the author/compiler. All works are in the tango/milonga dance form and are presented in notation and tablature. Selections include: Don Agustin Bardi, by Horacio Salgan; Gallo Ciego, by Agustin Bardi; El Choclo, by Angel Villoldo; and Milonga del Viento and Otro Tango; Buenos Aires, by Jorge Morel. A companion CD featuring Mr. Morel's performance of each solo is included.
Ernesto Nazareth Guitar Solo Anthology
A collection of 28 Ernesto Nazareth compositions expertly transcribed for classic guitar solo.One of the major difficulties in trying to arrange Ernesto Nazareth's themes for any instrument, but the piano, is to separate the melodic line from its accompaniment: both are so closely together (that is one of the strongest characteristics of his pianistic style of composition) that it becomes almost impossible to treat one of the features disregarding the other. If one did that, the result would be only a pale and incomplete portrait of what was intended by the composer. That thought has guided us in the making of this book.In spite of the huge obstacles that resulted from the transposition of a...

Redenção e Escatologia. Estudos de Filosofia, Religião, Literatura e Arte na Cultura Portuguesa – VOL. III – Idade Contemporânea – TOMO 3
O terceiro volume de Redenção e Escatologia contém a investigação realizada no âmbito de um projeto interdisciplinar sobre os temas da salvação do homem e da consumação do mundo na cultura portuguesa da contemporaneidade. A reflexão do terceiro tomo destaca o inconformismo dos nossos escritores com a ordem social e religiosa de uma época de antagonismo e conflito entre a fé e a ciência, a espiritualidade e a racionalidade, que inclui a denúncia dos males morais da Igreja e do poder político e inclui a justificação pelas opções do monoteísmo cristão, do politeísmo pagão, do ateísmo, do deísmo, do agnosticismo ou do panteísmo. Apresenta a importância da linguagem poética na experiência da espiritualidade, como meio adequado para dizer a relação do homem com Deus, que já não surge de modo objetivo e evidente, sob as formas dogmáticas de fideísmo ou sob as formas míticas e teosóficas de absoluta imanência, mas apenas se vislumbra na ausência mistérica de uma silenciosa presença.
