| Abstract | |
Music is a temporal art, and its primary object, the sound, can only exist and be noticed when the dimension time is considered. Then, one believes that the discussion about sound-time relation in music is important for the contemporary composer.Gérard Grisey, composer and cofounder of one of the most important schools of composition of the second half of the 20th century (the Spectral Music), shows a singular understanding toward the musical phenomenon, especially about its development over time. His understanding is mainly based in researches in the field of acoustics and psychoacoustics, in other words, in the physical structure of sound and how it is perceived, respectively. The main objective of this research is to expose the thinking about musical time by Grisey. Another objective is to compose an original musical piece based on this thinking. This outline is justified by the evident attention that important composers of the 20th century (as Messiaen, Boulez and Grisey) gave to the subject "time in music". Such importance can be verified either in their musical and theoretical works. Initially, a study of the main bibliography produced by the leading composers and experts in Spectral Music was accomplished. Then the writing process of the thesis began, which was focused on the compositional philosophy of Grisey, and the composition of the original musical piece, based on the characteristics and techniques identified in the first part of this research (AU) | |
