Abstract [en]

In Stockholm, the teaching of music theory is under remodelling due to national reforms and to the teachers’ work in order to give prominence to the theoretical subjects. A lack of knowledge of the pedagogical practices between schools and institutions, and within some schools, is however obvious. This study, conducted in 2015 in Stockholm, aims to establish the current situation of the music theory and analysis teaching in the specialized schools and institutions. Firstly, the article gives a survey of the Swedish education system and of the participating schools and institutions. Secondly, it reports the actual courses (titles, hour volumes, aims), the course literature (books, teaching methods) and the analytical methods used. The article concludes on the functions mainly given to music, theory, and analysis within the different teaching forms.

Abstract [fr]

À Stockholm, l’enseignement théorique de la musique connaît des restructurations dues à des réformes nationales et au travail des enseignants pour valoriser les disciplines théoriques. Une méconnaissance des pratiques pédagogiques entre les établissements, et au sein même de certains établissements, est cependant manifeste. Aussi cette étude, datant de 2015, vise-t-elle à établir un état des lieux des enseignements de la théorie et de l’analyse musicale dans les cursus pré- et post-baccalauréat des établissements spécialisés de Stockholm. Après une présentation du système éducatif suédois et des établissements sollicités, l’article propose une cartographie des cours dispensés (intitulés, volumes, objectifs), de la littérature (ouvrages, pédagogies) et des méthodes analytiques employées. L’article conclura sur les fonctions principalement attribuées à la musique, la théorie et l’analyse dans les différentes formes d’enseignement.

Abstract [en]

Melodic Structures through the Syncretic Method: Towards a Deeper Understanding of Musical Elaborations and Gestures

Teaching melody comes usually at best down to a necessary but basic phraseology, without any regard to melodic elaborations, intervallic functions, and musical gestures. However, the syncretic method gives renewed perspectives on melodic analysis, and on composition and performance. It critically gathers principles and tools mainly from the theories of Heinrich Schenker and Leonard B. Meyer, and from the pedagogical method of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. Basically, the Schenkerian approach is central to the syncretic method because of its structure through synchronic levels; the Meyerian approach is important because of its melodic classification and terminology, which refer to gestural representations (such as axial melodies); and Dalcroze Eurhythmics comes within the mentioned theoretical framework by bringing a physical and cognitive dimension.

The syncretic method is concerned with the functions played by disjunct and conjunct intervals within melodic structures. It enables to represent these functions and the melodic elaborations through three levels (surface, intermediate, and deep). The mental approach and understanding of melodic processes are deepened through bodily training. Thus, the syncretic method clarifies the melodic unfolding, its main directed motion and its successive gestural ornamentations.

This paper aims to present how accessible and beneficial the syncretic method is for students at different levels. Thus, it requires two main comparisons. The first one regards the comparison between not trained and trained students within using the method. Questions to be answered are: what knowledge do students get quantitatively and qualitatively, when studying and applying this method? How efficient and useful is the method and its learning? Does the method influence the students’ intellectual approach of the music and their practical musicianship?

The second comparison concerns the students involved, all from Stockholm. The first group gathers students from a sixth-form music school, the second group studies at the university, and the third group follows the Eurhythmics program at the Royal College of Music. Is the method possibly as efficient for all these students or do their respective musical education play a role regarding the learning, and the response to the method?

The study will be done through a series of workshops, mainly based on music of the common practice area and the 20th century.

A systematic presentation at the conference will highlight the syncretic method and the results of this study. This paper will thus put forward what the method may imply for music education, especially regarding a renewed approach of the melodic phenomenon.

Abstract [en]

Composing melody with disjunct intervals is not only a question of taste and style, but also a question of meaning and function. Thus, disjunct intervals may play different roles within melodic structures. Theoreticians from the 20th century have given new insights to analysts, performers and composers. Among them, Heinrich Schenker elaborated a theory that concerns the melodic structure, unfolding and implication within the musical organism. Followers developed further the ideas in different directions. The paper will propose a comparative study about the disjunct interval according to Schenker, to Schenkerian teachers (from Salzer to Cadwallader) and to post-Schenkerian theorists. A systematic presentation along with analytic examples will efficiently highlight the different meanings, tools, and graphic representations. The study will thus put forward what a student or a teacher in composition may learn from this evolution and this may contribute to renew melodic approach and creativity.

Abstract [fr]

Au cours du XXe siècle, de nombreux théoriciens s’intéressent à la dimension mélodique. Parmi eux, Heinrich Schenker et Leonard B. Meyer ont élaboré des théories concernant son fonctionnement, sa structure, son déploiement et son implication dans l’organicisme d’une œuvre. Malgré l’influence de Schenker sur Meyer, leurs théories semblent diverger et elles constituent postérieurement la source de courants théoriques différents. Narmour (1977) pose toutefois la question de la pertinence de leur rencontre. La communication proposera une étude comparative des principaux outils et des représentations graphiques des théories de Schenker et de Meyer. Une présentation systématique accompagnée d’exemples d’analyses thématiques éclairera efficacement les sens accordés, d’une part, aux niveaux d’analyse, et d’autre part, à la figure d’élaboration mélodique de type gap-fill (en relation avec le rythme et l’harmonie). Cette étude comparative permettra également d’établir une évaluation méthodologique et épistémologique des deux théories. Il sera finalement montré que ces théories présentent, en ce XXIe siècle, la possibilité de se compléter et de conduire à de nouveaux résultats musicologiques.

Abstract [en]

The syncretic method contributes to renew the analytical understanding of tonal and post-tonal music, especially concerning the melodic dimension. Its main purpose consists in manifesting how melodies are structured, regarding linearity and elaborations. Its efficiency resides in the logical combination of terminologies and graphic representations of the music, which mainly emanate from the theories of Schenker and Meyer. Besides some new stylistic aspects that it highlights, it is able to transmit a spatial understanding of the musical movement. This has consequences both for musicology and music pedagogy.

This paper will critically (1) set out the principal tools and the graphic representation of the method, (2) submit the analysis of themes from the period of the galant style, and (3) put forward some new stylistic aspects that the syncretic method highlights, compared to analyses of previous theories. Thus, the paper will show how the syncretic method gives a gathered and useful response regarding musicological and music pedagogical perspectives.

Abstract [fr]

En Suède, les enseignements du secondaire et du supérieur ont récemment connu des réformes. Concernant la formation théorique de la musique, j’ai néanmoins pu observer une méconnaissance des pratiques mises en œuvre au sein même de certains établissements et entre les établissements. Aussi l’étude proposée visera-t-elle à établir un état des lieux des enseignements de la théorie et de l’analyse musicale actuellement pratiqués dans les cursus pré- et post-baccalauréat des établissements spécialisés de la région de Stockholm.L’étude examinera les méthodes pédagogiques et analytiques employées, les objectifs prononcés et réalisés, la continuité et la cohérence éducatives, la progression des niveaux, la place attribuée à l’analyse musicale et les répertoires abordés. Des enquêtes de terrain (comprenant questionnaires et entretiens) seront effectuées. La communication en présentera la synthèse et elle répondra à un intérêt exprimé aux échelles régionale, nationale et européenne.

Abstract [sv]

På 1940-talet manifesterar Måndagsgruppens tonsättare en gemensam antiromantisk estetik och hämtar influenser ur teoretiska och musikvetenskapliga böcker (Hindemith, Jeppesen et Kurth). Trots det komponerar i synnerhet Karl-Birger Blomdahl och Ingvar Lidholm verk i olika tonspråk. Med hjälp av en musikanalytisk metod som har skapats utifrån den nämnda gemensamma teoretiska bakgrunden samt utifrån teorier av Schenker och Meyer, är bidragets syfte att presentera och jämföra Blomdahls respektive Lidholms mest väsentliga melodiska drag, med avseende på linearitet och melodiska elaborationer.
