“Sing Great Anna’s Matchless Name” Images of Queen Anne in the Court Ode
(2015)
Murphy, Estelle
“Sing Great Anna’s Matchless Name” Images of Queen Anne in the Court Ode
(2015)
Murphy, Estelle
Abstract:
The tradition of performing musical odes at the English court dates back to the early seventeenth century. These large-scale works for orchestra, solo vocalists, and chorus were presented before the monarch and nobility for special occasions, including martial victories, New Year’s Day, births, peace treaties, the monarch’s birthday, the monarch’s safe return from abroad, and so on. It was not until the late seventeenth century that the tradition of performing an ode at court began to solidify and become a biannual one, when typically the master of the music and poet laureate would provide a work in honor of New Year’s Day and the king’s or queen’s birthday. It is surely not by chance that the heyday of the court ode in England — ca. 1689–1714 — coincided with both the period of the monarchy’s greatest instability and the reign of Queen Anne. In the context of a monarchy that was weakened and thereafter ruled by Parliament, following the volatility of the Civil Wars, the regicide, a...

A Qualitative Analysis of Haptic Feedback in Music Focused Exercises
(2017)
Young, Gareth; Murphy, Dave; Weeter, Jeffrey
Abstract:
We present the findings of a pilot-study that analysed the role of haptic feedback in a musical context. To examine the role of haptics in Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) design an experiment was formulated to measure the users’ perception of device usability across four separate feedback stages: fully haptic (force and tactile combined), constant force only, vibrotactile only, and no feedback. The study was piloted over extended periods with the intention of exploring the application and integration of DMIs in real-world musical contexts. Applying a music orientated analysis of this type enabled the investigative process to not only take place over a comprehensive period, but allowed for the exploration of DMI integration in everyday compositional practices. As with any investigation that involves creativity, it was important that the participants did not feel rushed or restricted. That is, they were given sufficient time to explore and assess the different feedback types without ...

An experiment in audio classification from compressed data
(2004)
Jarina, Roman; O'Connor, Noel E.; Murphy, Noel; Marlow, Seán
Abstract:
In this paper we present an algorithm for automatic classification of sound into speech, instrumental sound/ music and silence. The method is based on thresholding of features derived from the modulation envelope of the frequency limited audio signal. Four characteristics are examined for discrimination: the occurrence and duration of energy peaks, rhythmic content and the level of harmonic content. The proposed algorithm allows classification directly on MPEG-1 audio bitstreams. The performance of the classifier was evaluated on TRECVID test data. The test results are above-average among all TREC participants. The approaches adopted by other research groups participating in TREC are also discussed.

Benjamin Britten: art song, a synthesis of words and music — issues and approaches to text-setting
(2009)
Higgins, Paul
Abstract:
The clarity of verbal expression evident throughout Benjamin Britten’s (1913-1976) art songs serves to highlight the central role which the setting of pre-existing written poetic texts occupies in his compositional process and in the aesthetic appreciation of his interpretation. For Britten, text acts initially as a source of musical imagination, but it also provides the composer with a framework with which to express musically his selected, literary-based ideas.

Breandán Ó hEithir’s Use of Music in Constructing and Re-constructing Community in Lead Us Into Temptation

Breandán Ó hEithir’s Use of Music in Constructing and Re-constructing Community in Lead Us Into Temptation
(2020)
McCann, Chris
Abstract:
Music is an effective device in Irish fiction for symbolising community and the expression of collective values. As Gerry Smyth observes, the presence of music in the Irish novel elucidates how the histories of each form are often “enmeshed with the wider question of national identity” (106). Such formal complications emerge in Breandán Ó hEithir’s novel Lig Sinn i gCathú, first published in Irish in 1976 and two years later in English as Lead Us Into Temptation.1 Through a multifaceted approach incorporat-ing musicological theory and comparative historical sources, this analysis interrogates the ways in which music expresses Irish sociopolitical identity in the novel.

(2019)
Grainger, Brian
Abstract:
The power of Transformative learning though Music and Theatre is something I have questioned and wanted to research. By using the medium of music in the classroom, is it possible to teach literacy and numeracy? This thesis explores the possibilities, in action research and the uncovering of cognitive abilities. The ability of music in all can affect the emotions of the students and further transform their learning. There is also discussions and explorations to barriers to education. It also discusses the holistic effect of music in adult education.

Extensible Computer Music Systems
(2016)
Yi, Steven
Abstract:
This thesis explores different aspects of extensibility in computer music software. Extensibility refers to how core developers, third-party developers, and users can extend software. It is a primary factor in determining a software’s range of use cases and capacity to grow over time. This has a direct impact on the robustness of both the software and the user’s work. This thesis discusses four main areas of research: extensibility in programming languages, platform extensibility, run-time modular software development, and music systems as libraries. It also explores these areas through the development of four open-source software projects: Csound, Blue, Pink, and Score. Csound and Blue are existing programs that have been modified to provide new means of extension. Pink and Score are new software libraries designed for extension from the start. The goal of examining extensibility is to help create long-living computer music software and – by extension – enduring musical works. Thes...

Ireland in the Musical Imagination of Third Republic France

Ireland in the Musical Imagination of Third Republic France
(2015)
Watson, Laura
Abstract:
This chapter will examine images of Ireland as evoked in the music of the Third Republic in France with particular focus on the 1924 production of Henri Rabaud’s L’Appel de la mer, addressing its libretto, score, and reception history. The musical adaptation of any literary text will always result in some transformation of the original material but when Rabaud (1873-1949) decided to set John Millington Synge’s Riders to the Sea as a one-act opera, he strove to retain its authentic local colour, natural dialogue, and references to islander rituals, all the while writing with the Opéra-Comique audience in mind. ‘They’re all gone now, and there isn’t anything more the sea can do to me’, laments Maurya towards the end of Synge’s one-act play about a widow from the Aran Islands who loses her husband and each of her six sons to the surrounding North Atlantic ocean. The isolated island, its people, and traditions comprise Maurya’s entire world, one so self-contained and alienated that eve...

Jarina, Roman; Duffner, Orla; Marlow, Seán; O'Connor, Noel E.; Murphy, Noel
Abstract:
In this paper, we present the MPEG-1 Audio bitstreams processing work which our research group is involved in. This work is primarily based on the processing of the encoded bitstream, and the extraction of useful audio features for the purposes of analysis and browsing. In order to prepare for the discussion of these features, the MPEG-1 audio bitstream format is first described. The Application Interface Protocol (API) which we have been developing in C++ is then introduced, before completing the paper with a discussion on audio feature extraction.

Nationalism and Music in Ireland

Nationalism and Music in Ireland
(1991)
Ryan, Joseph
Abstract:
The course of music in Ireland in the last two centuries presents a depressing picture. The creative legacy furnishes little evidence of a race artistically inclined or culturally cognizant. Yet the large and exquisite store of folksong has earned the people the reputation as a musical nation, a standing enhanced by the pioneering dedication of the early collectors and the proselytizing work of Thomas Moore. Their industry was consistent with the growth in ethnic consciousness universally evident in the wake of the French Revolution. This novel pride was termed nationalism, and the phenomenon proved both pervasive and durable, exercising appreciable influence on all aspects of civi1izat ion. This study seeks to draw together these various strands. Prompted by the discrepancy between reputation and realization in relation to Irish music, it proposes to examine this shortfall in the context of wider social and political issues, and employs an interdisciplinary approach to arrive at an...

New Perspectives: Postgraduate Symposium for the Humanities - Reflections, Volume 2
(2018)
Collins, Kira; Fogarty, Matthew; Beausang, Chris; Connolly, Thomas
Abstract:
Writing in the aftermath of the Second World War, Michel Foucault wrote that ‘history has a more important task than to be a handmaiden to philosophy, to recount the necessary birth of truth and values; it should become a differential knowledge of energies and failings, heights and degenerations, poisons and antidotes’ (1997, 126). Foucault’s words capture two opposing conceptions of historical change that ‘NPPSH 2017: Progress and Degeneration’ aimed to deconstruct and critique: the ‘necessary birth of truth and values’ assumed by the progressive view of historical change, and the contrasting ‘poisons’ and ‘failings’ of seeming degeneration. In the face of apparent narratives of historical progress and degeneration, we must ask: ‘Progress for whom, and according to whom?’ When our symposium took place, these questions appeared more necessary than they have been for many years. This time was marked by the re-emergence of nationalist politics, evident in Brexit and the violence in Ca...

Abstract:
In October 2018, Maynooth University, in conjunction with the Arts and Humanities Institute, held its third New Perspectives: Postgraduate Symposium on the Humanities (NPPSH) conference. This conference strove to highlight scholarship conducted by postgraduates in the Arts & Humanities in Ireland and Europe. The conference sought to highlight the importance of Arts & Humanities research into traditionally ‘unseen’ or unheard voices and perspectives. Many of the papers were collabora-tive efforts which reflected new and often interdisciplinary approaches to research. 2018 was a year of marked by commemorations of past achievements in equality and inclusivity and a renewed awareness of our socio-political responsibilities as Irish and international citizens. This important year marked the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day and 100 years since Countess Markievicz was elected to the Houses of Parliament and Irish women gained th...

Researching Music- and Place-Making through Engaged Practice: Becoming a Musicking Geographer
(2019)
Kavanagh, Aoife
Abstract:
How might geographers better understand the active, lived, on-the-ground experiences of musicians in places, and their role in place-making? This paper describes how I have developed a methodological framework that brings together two approaches, musicking ethnography, and music mapping, to examine the co-constitutive processes of music-making and place-making in three Irish towns. As a professional musical practitioner, I bring to geography the perspective of a musicking-geographer, drawing on Christopher Small’s (2011) concept of “musicking”, and Harriet Hawkins’ (2011) work on geography-art “doing”. Working with musicians of all age groups, musical backgrounds and interests from across the amateur-professional continuum (cf. Finnegan2007), I aspire to create egalitarian, engaging, respectful and useful research experiences for the musicians with whom I work. I consider how my approach has developed in response to these aspirations, how my dual-positionality impacted the approach,...

Rhythm detection for speech-music discrimination in MPEG compressed domain
(2002)
Jarina, Roman; O'Connor, Noel E.; Marlow, Seán; Murphy, Noel
Abstract:
A novel approach to speech-music discrimination based on rhythm (or beat) detection is introduced. Rhythmic pulses are detected by applying a long-term autocorrelation method on band-passed signals. This approach is combined with another, in which the features describe the energy peaks of the signal. The discriminator uses just three features that are computed from data directly taken from an MPEG-1 bitstream. The discriminator was tested on more than 3 hours of audio data. Average recognition rate is 97.7%.

Rock n’ stroll: the consumption of musical places

Halfacree, Keith H.; Kitchin, Rob
Abstract:
Cities are increasingly being marketed as sites of consumption in order to attract tourists. In this paper we examine the extent to which cities are aiming to capture the 'tourist gaze' through the cultural promotion of their musical heritage. We illustrate our arguments using promotional literature from, and a questionnaire survey of, a number of cities in the United Kingdom. The case study of Manchester is then considered in greater detail.

Speech-music discrimination from MPEG-1 bitstream
(2001)

Abstract:
This paper describes a proposed algorithm for speech/music discrimination, which works on data directly taken from MPEG encoded bitstream thus avoiding the computationally difficult decoding-encoding process. The method is based on thresholding of features derived from the modulation envelope of the frequency-limited audio signal. The discriminator is tested on more than 2 hours of audio data, which contain clean and noisy speech from several speakers and a variety of music content. The discriminator is able to work in real time and despite its simplicity, results are very promising.

Tensions between the ‘serious’ and the ‘popular’ in music: Josephine Lang’s compositional environment
(2009)
Kenny, Aisling
Abstract:
In her seminal book, Gender and the Musical Canon, Marcia Citron highlights the existence in art of a dichotomy between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture.1 By the nineteenth century ‘high’ art, in a general sense, had come to be associated with the masculine and ‘low’ art with the feminine. Examples of this kind of division may be observed in the artistic output of both sexes, namely in literature, painting and music. This generally accepted ideology of ‘high’ culture as masculine and ‘low’ culture as feminine manifested itself in many respects within the musical world of the nineteenth century.
