Attitudine musicale e verifica del potenziale di apprendimento in musica: la ricerca e i test di Edwin Gordon

This article provides a general overview on the theme of ‘musical aptitude’ and ‘musical aptitude test’, with a focus on the research of American music teacher and psychologist Edwin Gordon (1927-2015). After a quick look at the debate on the origins of 'musicality', and on the history of music aptitude tests and early forms of experimentation in this domain, the article goes more in-depth about the entire research of Gordon and the resulting speculations, ideas, discoveries, and investigations: the source and development of music aptitude, its nature and characteristics, audiation as 'musical thought based on a syntactic understanding of music', and music aptitude tests (MAP, AMMA, PMMA, IMMA, AUDIE). A final look at criticism and research about the tests will bring the reflection back to evaluation and education, a pair that is reganing currency today.

메이예르홀트 공연의 음악성 연구 － 3. 공연 구조와 구성의 음악화 －

This thesis is the third study to discuss the musicality of Meyerhold’s plays. While the previous two papers explored the cultural background and aesthetic principle of musicality, and the musical organization of speech and action, this paper examines how musical principles operate in the composition and structure of plays. His musical experiments were intensified by showing the aspects of evolution and development, and over a long period of time, the stage element of music contributed to the structuring and synthesis of the performance, and became an essential principle defining the ideological content of the play.<BR> The musicality that Meyerhold aims for is a methodology that reveals the essence of the play, independent of the linguistic text. His musicality is not only self-sufficient in itself, but has become a dramaturgical component called the subtext beyond the additional and modifying functions of the stage situation. “Teacher Bubus”, a ‘comedy made from music,’ shows how music dominates the various stage elements that determine the structure of a performance, and the ‘musical composition of action’ was applied in earnest. “The Government Inspector” is a work in which Meyerhold

시와 랩, 그 문학성과 음악성의 교집합

21세기의 사회문화적 환경 중에서 가장 뚜렷한 변화와 진보는 우리 삶을 새롭게 규정하고 있는 멀티미디어 환경과 디지털 기술일 것이다. 그리고 디지털 멀티미디어 환경에서 문학의 순수함과 신성함의 가치는 숙고의 대상이 되고 있다. 복제가 용이한 매스미디어의 급속한 팽창은 문학이 지금까지 만들어내었던 고유한 아우라를 유지할 수 없게 하였고, 상호작용성(interactivity)에 방점이 찍힌 디지털 스토리텔링은 작가에서 독자로 향하는 전통적 의미의 문학의 소비 방식을 해체시키고 있다. 이 글에서 우리는 문학의 핵심 코드인 감동이 어떻게 문화콘텐츠에서 가장 필수적인 요소로 차용될 수 있는지를 살펴보겠다. 이를 위해 작품에 내재된 본질적 감동에 충실한 시 텍스트의 문학적, 보다 엄밀히는 형식적 특성과 대중음악의 한 장르인 랩의 음악적 특성을 살펴보고 두 장르 사이의 공통점을 천착할 것이다. 시와 랩은 인간이 예술 활동을 한 이래 특히나 가까운 문학과 음악이라는 장르에 각기 속해 있다. 하지만 그 어떤 장르보다 오래되고 본질적인 문학의 특성을 소유한 시와 음악의 다양한 장르 중에서 가장 새롭고 혁신적인 형식을 갖는 랩은 앞에서 언급한 친밀성만큼이나 거리감이 있는 것도 사실이다. 따라서 시와 랩에서 동시에 발현되는 문학적 감동과 음악적 특성 사이에서 어떤 교집합이 존재하는 것을 추적하는 작업은 디지털 문화콘텐츠 시대 속에서 아날로그적 가치를 찾는다는 점에서 의미가 있다고 판단된다.

La música como objeto de estudio científico: consideraciones en torno a la musicalidad y el origen de la música

La existencia de la musica y su origen continuan siendo un misterio. Sin embargo, la ciencia ha logrado proveer respuestas parciales y modelos teoricos, basandose en una variedad de evidencias ha logrado senalar aspectos fundamentales y proponer hipotesis que deben ser estudiadas. Este articulo presenta una revision de la literatura en cuanto al estudio cientifico de la musica, incluyendo el problema central de los universales en musica, la compleja relacion entre musica y lenguaje y las dificultades de los enfoques evolucionistas en torno a la musica. Propone, ademas, (1) que la ciencia debe estudiar la musicalidad mas que la musica misma, (2) que es esencial tener en cuenta los diferentes aspectos que componen la musicalidad (que podrian tener desarrollos evolutivos independientes), y (3) que es importante disenar experimentos y estudios que permitan separar, tanto los aspectos biologicos de los culturales, como eventualmente las posibles adaptaciones de las exaptaciones.
