Phrased Notation and renaissance polyphony: exploring a new solution to an old problem. An arts practice exploration of a modified music Notation system, drawing on Irish based renaissance sources
'Glucksman Library University of Limerick', 2017Co-Authors: O\u27carroll, Kevin FintanAbstract:A 1984 performance of Sicut Cervus by Palestrina raised in this writer’s mind questions regarding the performance of Renaissance polyphony by non-specialist choirs. The initial questions developed into one which asked if a printed edition could materially impact a performance. Subsequent research has indicated that such questions have been asked since the 1930’s, when editors such as Heinrich Besseler attempted to address performance issues relating to Renaissance polyphony through a modified Notational style known as mensurstrich. An examination of a selection of editorial styles from 1905 to Modern times used in Ireland shows how various editorial styles attempted to deal with problems associated with the performance of Renaissance polyphony. This writer’s musical training, and over forty years’ experience of directing amateur choral groups, has resulted in a unique set of skills being brought to bear on the topic. The writer has devised a Notation system which seeks to minimise the impact of Modern Notation conventions on the performance of Renaissance polyphony while supporting elements of performance known to have been addressed in Renaissance choristers’ training. Music Notation is a communication tool. However, Renaissance music Notation is a communication tool not generally understood by non-specialist choristers and so requires transcription into some form of Modern script which can be understood and used to facilitate performance. In private rehearsals, public performances and independent trials, the Phrased Notation System has been examined in detail and has shown promise in supporting nonspecialist choristers in the performance of Renaissance choral music while, at the same time, garnering acceptance by the choristers who use the system

The On-Axis Magnetic Well and Mercier's Criterion for Arbitrary Stellarator Geometries
2020Co-Authors: Kim Patrick, Jorge Rogerio, Dorland WilliamAbstract:A simplified analytical form of the on-axis magnetic well and Mercier's criterion for interchange instabilities for arbitrary three-dimensional magnetic field geometries is derived. For this purpose, a near-axis expansion based on a direct coordinate approach is used by expressing the toroidal magnetic flux in terms of powers of the radial distance to the magnetic axis. The magnetic well and Mercier's criterion are then written as a one-dimensional integral with respect to the axis arclength. When compared with the original work of Mercier, the derivation here is presented using Modern Notation and in a more streamlined manner that highlights essential steps. Finally, for the first time, these expressions are verified numerically using several stellarator configurations including Wendelstein 7-X

Transcribing from the Baroque Guitar to the Classical Guitar: A Critical Edition of François Campion's (c1685-1747) Sonatina in D Major
'University of North Texas Libraries', 2021Co-Authors: Torres, Hector AlfonsoAbstract:The main purpose of this dissertation is to offer a Modern transcription and critical edition of François Campion's Sonatina in D Major, found in his Piéces de Guitare du S.r Campion from 1748. Since it is not a common practice for the Modern classical guitarist to study the baroque guitar and all its idiosyncrasies, this transcription from French tablature into Modern Notation will make this piece accessible to all classical guitar players. Using his sonatina as an example, this dissertation covers the process of transcribing baroque guitar French tablature while emphasizing a practical performance approach that suits the classical guitar. This approach includes examining tuning differences, suggested transposed notes, ornamental interpretation, and the overall differences in performance practice between both instruments. Not much is known about Campion's life (c1685-1747), but his importance as a musician in France during the early eighteenth century is evidenced by his publications and his accounts as a theorbo and baroque guitar player for the orchestra of the opera company L'Académie Royale de Musique, for which he was employed from 1703 until 1719. Unfortunately, while this music is fairly known and usually performed by early music specialists, it is ignored by Modern guitarists, mainly because of the lack of Modern transcriptions. This sonatina serves as an original critical edition adaptation for the classical guitar
