"I'm Leading Now": The Argument for Widmerpool as the Central Character of a Dance to the Music of Time

This study argues that the central character of Anthony Powell's novel, A Dance to the Music of Time, is Kenneth Widmerpool. A survey of the criticism available on The Music of Time, contained in this study's introduction, indicates that there are a few precedents for this argument but there there are no thorough analyses of the problem from which this argument arises: the identity and function of the novel's central character. This study is organized around separate analyses of three of the novel's elements. Chapter Two deals with characterization, Chapter Three with theme, and Chapter Four with structure. This study concludes that, based on evidence availabe in The Music of Time itself, Widmerpool is the central character.

The Development and Evaluation of a Series of Video-Tape Lessons to Supplement a College Course in Advanced Music Theory

The purpose of the study was to develop and evaluate a series of video-tape lessons to supplement the traditional lecture-discussion method of teaching a college course in advanced music theory. The specific problems investigated were: 1) to evaluate the effect of video-tape material on achievement in an advanced music theory course. 2) To assess the effect of the video-tape materials on the achievement in harmony, keyboard, sight singing, and ear training for students who had differential learning ability levels. 3) To assess the attitudes toward music theory and the use of the supplemental lessons. 4) To assess attitudes toward music theory and the use of the supplemental lessons and achievement for all students involved in the study. Analysis of co-variance, simple analysis of variance, t tests, and Pearson correlations produced statistical results that led to the following conclusions: 1) Students who used the video-tape supplemental lessons did not score higher on achievement tests in harmony, keyboard, sight singing, and ear training than the students who did not use those lessons. 2) Students who used the video-tape lessons had greater variance among the ability levels on the achievement tests; and for those using the lessons, students in the low beginning-ability level …

Fusar 3

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Arsène Souffriau's Fusar 3 for four mixed voices, four percussionist and two synthesizers. This piece is aleatoric music and is a collective improvisation by the performers. This recording of the collective improvisation took place on Thursday, September 1979 at around midnight. The interpreters were Viollette Beaujeant, Madeleine Fabrice, André Van Belle, and Arsène Souffriau. During the recording, each performer spoke, sang and manipulated various percussion instruments. Then, a selection was made and various sequences retained by Souffriau were reworked electro-acoustically. He then manipulated these sequences in order to create the stereophonic version presented here.
