إمكانية وقوع معجزات الأنبياء بين النقل والعقل
Authors: علوان سعد احمد
Published: February 2024

هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على ماهية المعجزات وأهميتها بالنسبة للنبوة، والتعرف على الفرق بين المعجزة والسحر، والتعرف على إمكانية وقوع المعجزة من حيث النقل والعقل، وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى عدد من النتائج، أهمها:

إن المعجزات هي الأدلة على صدق الرسل والأنبياء –عليهم السلام-.
إن الفاعل الحقيقي للمعجزة هو الله –سبحانه وتعالى- ويجريه على يد نبي من أنبيائه وكأنه يقول: صدق عبدي فيما بلغ عني.
أن منكر خوارق العادات (معجزات أو كرامات) فهو منكر لصريح القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية المطهرة؛ وبذلك يكون أنكر معلوماً من الدين بالضرورة.
أن المعجزة ممكنة عقلاً، وقد تحدث عنها الشرع؛ لذا يجب الإيمان بها.

وقد أوصت الدراسة بالعديد من التوصيات أهمها: ضرورة الحث على مزيد من البحث في هذه الأمور لحاجة البشر إلى النبوة، والدين، حتى يتسنى للمسلمين وخاصة الشباب منهم، معرفة العقيدة عن يقين.
مناهج السيميائيات وتحديث الخطاب البلاغي
Authors: محمد جبارة محمد جاسم
Published: February 2024

لم تعد البلاغة التقليدية قادرة على تحقيق تطلعات القارئ المعاصر في فهم النصوص وتحليلها، لذلك أصبح من الضرورة المنهجية أن تواكب البلاغة العربية مناهج الحداثة. وقد سعى الباحثون إلى توظيف المناهج الحديثة في تطوير البلاغة العربية، مستندين في ذلك إلى الأطروحات الغربية المعاصرة. وقد رأينا أن نبحث في هذه القضية التي تُعنى بتطوير الدرس البلاغي العربي، فوجدنا أن مناهج السيميائيات هي الأقرب للبلاغة على مستوى التنظير والتطبيق. وبسبب ضيق المجال في هذا البحث ركزنا على المسائل النظرية لتكون مهاداً لما سيأتي من تطبيق في مشاريع بحثية أخرى. وقد قسّمنا البحث على مقدمة وخمسة محاور هي: الشعرية والخطابة الذي يركز على التفريق بين البلاغة العربية والبلاغة الغربية؛ والبلاغة والأسلوبية وهو يناقش آراء الباحثين الذين جعلوا الأسلوبية الوريث الشرعي للبلاغة الكلاسيكية؛ و السيميولوجيا والبلاغة العربية وهو يبيّن أشكال التوافق بين المنهجين، ومبادئ السيميولوجيا بين التنظير والتطبيق وهو يركز على التفريق بين علم العلامات وعلم الدلالات وهو يمهّد لتحوير القضايا النظرية وتحويلها إلى قضايا تطبيقية من خلال مفهوم الصورة؛ وسيميولوجيا الإشهار وهو المحور الأخير الذي يسعى لتناول قضايا معاصرة تتعلق بأساليب الدعاية والإعلان واستغلال التصوير البلاغي بين الصورة الذهنية والصورة البصرية. ومن خلال هذه المحاور عرضنا مجموعة من الدراسات العربية السابقة التي قدّمت أطروحات مهمة في هذا المجال، فضلاً عن الأطروحات الغربية لتكون أشبه بالمقارنة بين المسارين العربي والغربي.

Published: February 2024

Within the article, the state of the international tourism on the eve of military events and their current impact on the international tourism is revealed. Historical aspects of the international tourism formation in Ukraine and a radical change in the positive situation after 2014 are highlighted. It is concluded that despite all circumstances, Ukraine was and remains attractive for foreign tourists. It is proved that the impact of military events in Ukraine on the domestic and global tourism industry is avery relevant area of research, which has both theoretical and practical significance.It is shown that in addition to the required restoration of the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the nation, tourism has serious economic functions related to the development of small businesses, job creation, and general activation of the economic environment of the territories, resulting in stability of tax revenues to the budget.It is noted that a very important point in modern conditions is social responsibility of representa-tives of the tourism industry and what role in the voluntary activity was and is played by representatives of the domestic tourism business, and what great importance was their personal contacts with interna-tional partners, which logistically covered international touristic flows.The factors that currently hinder the development of the inbound tourism under martial law are described, including as follows: military operations on the territory of Ukraine pose a real danger not only for tourists, but also for entire population of Ukraine, especially in the areas of active occupation and military operations; loss of a significant part of the tourist and recreational resource; damage to the infrastructure in the area of military operations;closure of airspace for Civil Aviation; destruction of communication routes on the territory of Ukraine, etc.It is concluded that the tourism industry business in Ukraine cannot only survive in extremely difficult conditions, but also be effective in terms of the ability to constantly implement the network structures based on flexible micro-integration of various enterprises (usually small) related to the tour-ism business and innovations in this area. It is noted that there is a need to find new organizational forms of such tourism, taking into account safety requirements. Emphasis is placed on the problems of forming anti-crisis business structures using diversified forms of the network micro-integration of small tourist businesses that can potentially serve international tourist flows.

Strongyloidiasis is a parasitosis caused by the nematode Strongyloides stercoralis, which commonly causes gastrointestinal problems. We present the case of a 30-year-old man who developed Strongyloides hyperinfection, with a history of a presumptive diagnosis of polymyositis for which he received a short course of corticosteroids. Upon admission, he presented with hyporexia, generalized weakness, cachectic syndrome, self-limited intermittent diarrhea, oral intolerance, and mild abdominal distension. Our patient reached the dissemination stage, which resulted in severe damage at the intestinal level. The diagnosis was difficult due to the low excretion of larvae in the feces. Treatment was started with parenteral ivermectin at a dose of 1.2ml via sc every 48 hours for 03 doses, with good response to treatment and good tolerance of the oral route. The importance of presenting the case is to present the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to this disease that has been little studied in Peru.
“RHETORIC KNOWS THE FUTURE LIKE GOD”: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHILOSOPHY AND RHETORIC ACCORDING TO A BYZANTINE SCHOLAR OF THE 12TH CENTURY
Authors:   Sociological Institute of the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg), CHERNOGLAZOV DMITRII
Published: February 2024

The problem of the correlation between philosophy and rhetoric, which was widely discussed in the late antiquity, regains relevance in Byzantium in the 11th – 12th centuries. The task of this article is to determine what position on this issue was held by Michael Italikos († before 1157), a Byzantine scholar, rhetorician and Neoplatonist philosopher. It has been already noted that in two of his works Italikos articulated two opposing views: in one he argued that philosophy is useless and far inferior to rhetoric, while in the other he exalted philosophy being capable not only of investigating abstract subjects but also of caring for the human good. The paper analyzes these and other texts in which Italikos argues about philosophy and rhetoric. It is demonstrated that Italikos awarded primacy to philosophy but also valued eloquence highly. It is concluded that the ideal of Michael Italikos, as well as other authors of that period, was a synthesis of philosophical thought and rhetorical elegance. Examples are given from his works, showing how this synthesis was realized in practice. This position is contradicted by only one small essay by Italikos, where he asserts the superiority of rhetoric over philosophy. This text, quite unusual in the context of the late antique and Byzantine tradition, is probably an example of rhetorical play that does not reflect the author’s views.
ACTIVE AND CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE IN THE SPEECHES OF MAXIMUS OF TYRE
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature RAS, BELIKOV GRIGORY S.
Published: February 2024

The paper deals with two speeches of Maximus of Tyre, dedicated to active and contemplative life (XV–XVI). Parallels with other authors (Apuleius, Alcinoos) show that this theme became popular in the Platonic tradition. Maximus takes up well-developed material but uses a new form for its presentation – double speeches (disputatio in utramque partem). This article gives a brief overview of the problem of the active and contemplative life in order to outline the context relevant for Maximus' philosophical speeches. Although there are no original ideas in the orations, it seems interesting to examine the use of Platonic material and the choice of dialogues, which were used to argue the thesis and the antithesis. The analysis of the speeches shows the ways in which Maximus uses the dialogues the Gorgias and the Republic, i.e. borrowing some images and thematic passages. Plato's Apology of Socrates occupies a special position in the composition of the XVI speech. Using Plato's work as a model, Maximus writes a speech that Anaxagoras could have held in front of the citizens of Clazomenoi, defending his way of life.
Michael Psellus’ WHAT ARE THE HELLENES’OPINIONS OF DEMONS (Text, Translation, and Notes)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities (Moscow), GARADJA ALEXEI
Published: February 2024

The publication presents a commented Russian translation of a short compilation entitled Τίνα περὶ δαιμόνων δοξάζουσιν Ἕλληνες (“What are the Hellenes’ Opinions of Demons”, Latin Graecorum opiniones de daemonibus) attributed to Michael Psellus (1018 – ca. 1078). The text is a compact overview of religious and adjacent practices of the “Hellenes”, meaning the pagan Greeks, from the Neoplatonic perspective, which goes back, eventually, to the Chaldaic Oracles, the “Bible of Neoplatonists” as Franz Cumont has named that fragmentarily extant collection of the 2nd century AD. Indubitably Michael Psellus has been strongly influenced by the Oracles, as well as by the lost commentary on this work by Proclus. Nevertheless, the attribution to Michael Psellus of the Opinions, as well as of the dialogue Timotheus, or On demons (Τιμόθεος ἢ περὶ δαιμόνων), another, somewhat more extensive essay on the same topics (demonology, sacrifices, mysteries, sorcery, magic, divination), seems to be definitively unconvincing, judging by purely formal (lingual) criteria. It would be much more plausible to attribute these writings to some students or followers of this prominent representative of Byzantine proto-Humanism, conveniently designating these anonymous authors as “Pseudo-Psellus”. The text of the Opinions allows to promptly identify many cross-references not only to Proclus, but also to other Neoplatonists (Porphyry, Iamblichus, Synesius), and the section on the mysteries almost literally borrows (though not without blatant distortions) from Clement of Alexandria’s Protrepticus. The Russian translation is based on Paul Gautier’s edition (1988), which is itself based on the oldest manuscript, Vaticanus gr. 1411 (fin. s. xiv), containing the text of the compilation (ff. 33r–34v).
ANCIENT HORROR STORY ABOUT A WEREWOLF IN PETRONIUS’ NOVEL “SATYRICON” AND FEDERICO FELLINI’S FILM “A MARRIAGE AGENCY”
Authors:   Russian Christian Academy for the Humanities, SINITSYN ALEXANDER A.
Published: February 2024

The article makes an assumption about a probable reference to Petronius’ Satyricon, occurring in Federico Fellini’s novel A Marriage Agency (Un’agenzia matrimoniale), which is part of the anthology film Love in the City (L’amore in città, 1953) made by a group of Italian film directors. Many a time did the Italian film maker admit that he had discovered Petronius as early as his years at the lyceum in Rimini. The author of the article adduces arguments testifying to a possible influence Petronius may have had on Fellini; he draws parallels between the ancient horror-story told by a freedman, Niceros, at the feast held by Trimalchio (Sat. 61–62) and the modern story created by Federico Fellini. These parallels in the stories about werewolves (versipellis), found in Petronius’ Satyricon and in Fellini’s A Marriage Agency, are credible coincidences. Fellini chose the tale about a werewolf, which may have been inspired by Petronius’ novel that had had a great influence on him in his green years. And the horror-story about a lycanthrope told by Niceros is undoubtedly one of the most memorable ones at the cena Trimalchionis. If the assumption in the article is true, then the story A Marriage Agency is Fellini’s yet another film that, along with Satyricon, features the Petronius subject, and, what is most important, this happened half a decade before his ‘historiographic’ masterpiece.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN: DOES IT DRIVE GREEN PURCHASE INTENTION OF SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING?
Authors: Mongula Angelline , Masnita Yolanda , Kurniawati Kurniawati
Published: February 2024

The growing importance of environmental concern as a critical issue has recently increased. Lower environmental damage raises consumer awareness of the importance of environmental preservation. Environmental concern triggers consumers’ interest in purchasing products with sustainable packaging. This study aims to examine factors driving the green purchase intention of sustainable packaging. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was utilized to identify the green purchase intention with six antecedents: subjective norm, price consciousness, perceived consumer effectiveness, perceived social media marketing, environmental concern, and perceived behavioral control. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results revealed that the perceived social media marketing activities are the most influential driver of the green purchase intention, followed by the perceived behavioral control. Further, this study found that the environmental concern stimulates the perceived consumer effectiveness. This research contributes to marketers, companies, and the government to target appropriate marketing activities and engage potential consumers in purchasing the products with sustainable packaging.JEL: M31, Q56.

This manuscript reports the identification of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC)-shifting, non-toxic linker-payload surrogates as tool molecules for the optimization of maleimide/cysteine conjugations relevant to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). These tool molecules are demonstrated to allow conjugation measurement via HIC with a mAb (mono-clonal antibody) bearing engineered cysteines, and for conjugation to mAb interchain cysteines. The linker/payload (LP) mimics were employed to optimize conjugations via high-throughput experimentation and employed to facilitate the development of continuous flow conjugations in a microfluidic reactor and on larger scale. Putative identification of the novel ADC mimics by HIC was confirmed by mass spectrometry. Overall, our studies provide confidence that commercially available, non-toxic LP mimics can be employed successfully to optimize ADC-type conjugations in batch and flow, while minimizing materials needs and experimental work in specialized facilities required for potent compound handling.
AN ANALYSIS OF HOW "EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE" CAN INCREASE STUDENTS' INVOLVEMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Lal Ambashtha Kanahaiya , Kumar Singh Manoranjan
Published: February 2024

In order to sustain and improve the learning and teaching in higher education, “student involvement” has recently attracted the attention of many. There is more to engagement than involvement or participation. We encounter many issues in the classroom as higher education participants, particularly when it comes to “student engagement”. We are having trouble getting more students to participate in class. The class is being disrupted by students using their phones, not paying attention, and not participating in the conversation. Most students are also willing to take the back seats. Instead of taking an active interest in the class activities, they merely demonstrate their presence. Their attendance in the class is the only reason they are there. The main topic of this paper is how to raise student involvement. Emotional intelligence and social intelligence are the two topics that the paper will explore. In addition, advice from the students is solicited on how to enhance their participation in class so that the subject is more clearly understood. As a result, my opinions as well as the insightful criticism provided by the students will be used to analyses the article. I used a systematic, closed-ended questionnaire to get the opinions of 50 students of BCA third semester.

Published: February 2024

The department of education (DoE) of the government of NCT of Delhi (GNCT of Delhi) introduced Happiness Curriculum and Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum (EMC) in all government schools in 2019 for classes Nursery to VIII, and IX to XII respectively. Both curriculums have a strong component, Mindfulness; the state of being conscious or aware of the present moment. This is an ancient technique of meditation that somewhat differs from meditation and was discovered by Gautam Buddha more than 2500 years ago. The sole purpose of this component in both the curriculum is to teach the students to ensure harmony within their inner self, discover their self in the process of learning, and grow their self to achieve sustainable happiness from momentary happiness. To know the impact of mindfulness in students’ lives in the offline and online mode of teaching, an online survey was conducted by the State Council of Education Research and Teaching (SCERT), New Delhi among the students, teachers, and parents of DoE. This study presents the analysis with the help of statistical techniques such as mean, median, and mode of the teachers’ observations through the questionnaire on the impact of mindfulness on the students’ behavior and their learning process. More than 1400 teachers who are teaching approximately 70 thousand students participated in this survey. The insights drawn from this analysis are discussed in detail in the result section of the study which shows the positive and effective impact of mindfulness on students’ behavior and their learning process.

Published: February 2024

El estudio de transitorios electromagnéticos en los sistemas eléctricos puede ser replicado utilizando modelos computacionales y ejecutarlos en softwares de simulación. Diversos circuitos que representan comportamientos de la tensión y la corriente en circuitos de corriente AC y DC pueden ser simulados fácilmente; sin embargo, la implementación experimental, utilizando componentes físicos en el laboratorio, ha sido muy poco desarrollado. En tal sentido, se desarrolló un experimento para modelar teóricamente el comportamiento de tensiones y corrientes en los circuitos de análisis usando leyes fundamentales de la electricidad, luego se comparó estos con datos experimentales. Los resultados mostraron semejanzas entre los modelos teóricos y los datos experimentales, tanto en amplitud y longitud de las frecuencias de corriente. No obstante, a falta de equipos que permitan la sincronización de eventos de apertura y cierre de los interruptores que accionaron los circuitos, presentaron complicación para el análisis

Data on patient demography, clinical profile, imaging characteristics, clinical course, staging, and operative procedures was extracted and analyzed to compare the experience of patients with GBC with jaundice and GBC without jaundice.Results: There were 401 patients with GBC; 75 with jaundice and 326 without jaundice. Patients with GBC and jaundice had a significantly higher incidence of pain abdomen, loss of appetite, loss of weight and presence of an abdominal lump, gastric outlet obstruction and hypoalbuminemia, a shorter duration of symptoms, more number of hospital admissions, a less frequent (4% vs 10.7%) incidental diagnosis of GBC and a higher incidence of GB neck tumors (80% vs 20%). In patients with GBC and jaundice detection of metastatic or locally advanced unresectable disease on imaging (31%), laparoscopy (11%) or laparotomy (31%) precluded resection in majority of patients. Only 2.6% patients with GBC and jaundice could undergo definitive surgery as compared to 71.2% of patients without jaundice.Conclusion: Patients with GBC and jaundice are very likely to have advanced, unresectable disease. Chances of complete resection are slim even after extensive preparation requiring more extensive, time-consuming, costly, multidisciplinary interventions.

The fish processing and marketing group (poklahsar) in the Gili Matra Marine Protected Area has received intervention from the central government through Bappenas in the COREMAP-CTI III program. This intervention involves improving human resource capacity and providing grants for fish processing equipment. However, the limited duration of the program has resulted in suboptimal assistance in utilizing the donated fish processing equipment. Therefore, the involvement of universities in assisting the community is deemed necessary. This assistance activity aims to inform and educate the poklahsar about the use of fish processing equipment, particularly machines, to enhance production capacity in the Gili Matra Marine Protected Area. The assistance activities were carried out in July 2023 at the respective production locations of each poklahsar. The educational method for adults in this assistance activity involves lectures and hands-on practical training. The outcome of this assistance activity is an increased understanding and knowledge among poklahsar in the Gili Matra Marine Protected Area regarding the functions and uses of various machine-based fish processing equipment. Additionally, it was identified that some obstacles hinder optimizing machine-based equipment utilization, including a lack of understanding in using such equipment and limited market demand for processed fish products. In conclusion, the poklahsar have diverse views on using machine-based equipment, enabling them to optimize the use of such equipment despite the limited demand for processed fish products.

Medical Ethical Issues, an Islamic Perspective
Authors: Kamal Dahamsheh
Published: February 2024

Morality is a unique human subject. It is affected by a number of cultural factors, such as history, tradition, education, and religious beliefs. Ethics is based on two basic concepts: one is a "value" and the other is the duties "must". In the Islamic faith Health and illness as life and death are not mere facts, they include many values that must be respected. The disease, for example, is not only a medical scientific fact like other physiological phenomena. Despite the rise of secular people most of the arabs are believers and religion remains a significant force in society. Diseases and physical suffering have a big impact on the Muslim's life. It tests endurance, faith, and submission to one almighty God, who has healing powers for all patients. How staff ‘does’ good medical ethics depends on this perspective. To understand the Islamic contribution to medical ethics, five topics are discussed; first, obeying. God's commandments; second, categorising of commandments; third, the 5 guiding principles of Islamic Law (maqased); fourth, judging actions by intention and fifth, refers to a warrant belief in the divine decree and the predestination. In many Western countries multi-cultures and multi-religious textures are met including Muslim citizens and new immigrants. Medical Staff will be required at one point during their work to treat these Muslim patients; therefore, a minimum level of cultural awareness is a prerequisite for the delivery of care that is culturally sensitive. In this paper, there is the highlight of certain key teachings in Islamic medical issues and their applications. Hopefully, the insights gained will aid medical staff to better understand their Muslim patients and deliver care that pays due respect to their beliefs. Muslims in the U.S. and in Europe come from diverse backgrounds. Understanding their beliefs and observances is crucial for providing culturally competent care. In bringing any religious perspective to bear on medico-moral issues, a willingness to listen and courtesy in the debate is necessary.
Parody with an Ironic Edge
Authors: Everett Yayoi Uno
Published: February 2024

This article formalizes the contexts and procedures by which parody assumes satirical or ironic resonance in musical discourse by drawing on literary perspectives on parody and irony by Linda Hutcheon and Douglas C. Muecke and music-theoretical concepts and applications by Robert Hatten and Esti Sheinberg.

Using Hutcheon’s concept of ethos as a point of departure, I develop an

interpretive framework for distinguishing the aesthetic motivations that

underlie twentieth-century composers’ use of parody. My analysis presents a

preliminary set of constructs that models the structure of satire and irony in

selected works by Kurt Weill, Peter Maxwell Davies, and Louis Andriessen.
“Schenkerian-Schoenbergian Analysis” and Hidden Repetition in the Opening Movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 10, No. 1
Authors: Boss Jack F.
Published: February 2024

A process akin to Schoenberg’s “musical idea” accounts to a large

degree for motivic coherence in the first movement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op. 10, No.

1. My article illustrates this process by means of a synthesis of Schenker’s and

Schoenberg’s approaches to analysis. I use Schenkerian analysis to identify potential

motives at various levels of musical structure, then interpret the treatment of some of

these segments according to Schoenberg’s model. I also show how the primary motivic

process interacts with other such processes in the first movement.
Between Process and Product
Authors: Cook Nicholas
Published: February 2024

The text-based orientation of traditional musicology and

theory hampers thinking about music as a performance art. Music can be

understood as both process and product, but it is the relationship between the

two that defines “performance” in the Western “art” tradition. Drawing on interdisciplinary performance theory (particularly theatre studies, poetry reading, and ethnomusicology), I set out issues and outline approaches for the study of music as performance; by thinking of scores as “scripts” rather than “texts,” I argue, we can understand performance as a generator of social meaning.
What is a Musical Feature? Forte’s Analysis of Brahms’s Opus 51, No. 1, Revisited
Authors: Huron David
Published: February 2024

A theory of musical features is presented. The theory emphasizes how a given work is distinguished from other works in some musical corpus. A number of general concepts are defined including presence, salience, distinctiveness, and significance. Intratextual factors such as prevalence, primacy, and recency, are distinguished from intertextual factors such as evocation, quotation, allusion, parody, and model. The theory is illustrated by evaluating the principal motive proposed by Allen Forte in his study of Brahms’s opus 51, no. 1. Forte’s “alpha” interval-class set is shown to be unable to distinguish quartet No. 1 from other quartets by Brahms. On the basis of the theory, several refinements are made to Forte’s alpha feature. Only when the prime form of the interval-class pattern is joined with a long-short-long rhythm does the resulting feature become distinctive of the work. Perceptually-pertinent properties are shown to be helpful in assembling a distinctive feature definition.
Poet’s Love and Composer’s Love
Authors: Hoeckner Berthold
Published: February 2024

This article proposes a modification of Edward T. Cone’s
notion of a composer’s persona, which he developed in two significant variants
in order to analyze and interpret the romantic lied. Specifically, I respond to
Cone’s most recent article about Schumann’s Dichterliebe, “Poet’s Love or
Composer’s Love,” which had assumed a “a unitary vocal-instrumental protagonist
that is coextensive with the persona of the actual composer of the song.” 
Drawing on Novalis’s Romantic hermeneutics, my modification proposes a “multiple
persona” with an independent poetic voice, exemplified in a reading of Schumann’s
Heine-Liederkreis, Op. 24.
Performance and Hypermetric Transformation
Authors: Dodson Alan
Published: February 2024

In the course of the introductory commentary on hypermeter in A

Generative Theory of Tonal Music (GTTM), Lerdahl and Jackendoff discuss

the opening measures of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, a hypermetrically ambiguous

passage in which “the performer’s choice . . . can tip the balance one way or the

other for the listener.” Through reflections on concepts from more recent psychological

inquiry into performance, and on the interpretations of the passage that are projected

in four well-known recordings of the Symphony, I will develop a set of theoretical

principles that describe the “balance-tipping” effects of performance-specific elements

on hypermetric structures inferred by the listener. This special case will lead

to a more general reconsideration of the place of performance in the design of the

Lerdahl-Jackendoff theory. The article proceeds in five parts: (1) an introduction

to the main theoretical concepts to be discussed, including a brief consideration

of current debates with which the study intersects; (2) a critical discussion of

the relationship between hypermeter and performance that is proposed in GTTM;

(3) an attempt at extending the theory of accent types to include a special class

of phenomenal accents that is under the performer’s control; (4) a close reading

of four recordings, facilitated by quantitative performance analyses, and an attempt

at explaining their hypermetric patterns as transformations of perfectly regular

underlying structures; and (5) concluding remarks of a more general nature on the

relationship between structure and performance in GTTM.
Simultaneous Contrast and Additive Designs in Olivier Messiaen’s Opera, Saint François d’Assise
Authors: Benitez Vincent P.
Published: February 2024

Olivier Messiaen admired the painter Robert Delaunay for his use of simultaneous contrast in his pictures. As a composer, Messiaen claimed that he used the musical equivalent of simultaneous contrast when he structured his music. He regularly described how he would juxtapose colors and highlight them via their complements as his music unfolded. This article explores how simultaneous contrast functions as a structural principle in Messiaen’s music by focusing on three compositional designs that are used in his opera Saint François d’Assise. Modeled on principles derived from the simultaneous contrast of colors in painting, these additive designs illustrate how Messiaen employs musical opposition in the opera to structure multi-layered textures and to shape passages governed by a single tonality.
