Remembering the traumatic past

- Identifier: vital:2431 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1004216 , Psychic trauma in art , Memory in art -- South Africa
- Description: In this thesis, I explore my personal family history in relation to the difficulties and challenges raised when representing a trauma in the past. My focus was the Blaaukraantz Bridge railway disaster of 1911, where my great great grandfather, Paul Tarr, was among the 29 victims. The links between my personal family history and the disaster are explored in my art practice. In the mini thesis, I unpack theoretical concerns surrounding memory, loss, and representation of past trauma by examining selected works by Christian Boltanski, Rachel Whiteread and Doris Salcedo. I do not endeavour to provide new insights about early twentieth-century history but instead to engage with different ways of forming narratives about the past. Memory as an alternative form of history writing is the key concept in this thesis in that personal memory and testimony provides an integral perception of the past and important details that would not appear in history texts or other factual forms of writing the past. In this thesis I unpack this issue in relation to my own art practice.

Music in Grahamstown, 1880-1900

- Description: From Introduction: The previous thesis on the study of music in Grahamstown took the development to the point in history which marked the end of the Kaffir Wars on the Eastern Frontier. From 1880 - 1900, the Military Tradition of Grahamstown remained a strong factor in the daily life of the growing community. During the first decade of this thesis, there were years of retrenching and depression and the rural community, who supported many of the musical concerts, were also hard hit by drought and rinderpest. These problems are noticeable during the course of many of the chapters. The difficulties were overcome. The community grew and new schools were established and the effects of the First City Volunteers being away on minor War efforts, followed by the commencement of the Anglo-Boer War, were only temporarily felt in the musical life of the City. There must be to some extent duplication of information already submitted in an earlier thesis on Church Music. Chapter II - on Music in the Churches - is indispensable, as it reveals much of the heart and soul of the community, and without it the overall picture of the development of music in all spheres, would lose its true balance. It has been impossible to trace all the composers represented on the programmes, particularly those of all the glees and popular songs of the day. In some cases possible composers may perhaps have been suggested. There are obvious misprints which have been hinted at in footnotes. The primary source of information for this thesis has been "The Journal". As virtually all the material has been taken from that source and almost every footnote would have read Ibid . .. , I have dispensed with the abbreviation and merely given the date. Where the source of information changed, this was indicated. Throughout I have adhered to the facts and my deductions and suppositions have been reduced to a minimum .

From physics to music: an analysis of the role of overtones in the improvement of choral tone
- Authors: Starker, Leonard Bonn

- Description: Numerous studies exist examining the link in solo singers between timbre and overtone spectra. The purpose of this study is to examine if similar results can be obtained by applying the same techniques to choral singing. The study is aimed at non-scientific readers and therefore introduces the subject with background to the relevant physics. In this study a number of recorded samples of choirs were taken from www.youtube.com and analyzed. The analysis included computation of long-term average spectra (LTAS) and singing power ratio‟s (SPR), which provided an indication of the relative energy in the higher overtone region of every choir. This was compared to a binary value judgment of the choirs. The results indicate that the SPR as applied to soloists cannot be directly applied to choirs. A link between SPR and a perceived “good” choral tone could exist but would have to be interpreted differently than in the case of soloists. It was also found that a possible link could exist between frequency peaks in LTAS and a choir‟s intonation.
