Dissolution and a “Universe of Solutions
Björk’s Vulnicura (2015) engages the theme of the dissolution of a long-term relationship. As with much of Björk’s music, most listeners are drawn to her voice and the interplay between lyrics and vocal delivery. This article explores vocal prosody, conceived as the pacing and flow of delivery, in three tracks—“Lionsong,” “Black Lake,” and “Family”—through aspects of discontinuous phrasing, varied metric placement, melismatic embellishment, conso…
A Blaze of Light in Every Word
A Blaze of Light in Every Word' presents a conceptual model for analyzing vocal delivery in popular song recordings focused on three overlapping areas of inquiry: pitch, prosody, and quality
Strophic Modification in Songs by Amy Beach
American composer Amy Beach wrote over a hundred art songs, many of which comprise compelling hybrid formal designs that fuse principles of modified strophic form with other formal schemes. In order to explore form in Beach’s art songs that resist simple classification, I develop a new model for interpreting song form that situates songs based on the nature of recurring material, from strophic (maximal recurring material) to through-composed (min…
Find out what it means to me
In her re-authoring of Otis Redding's 'Respect', Aretha Franklin's seminal 1967 recording features striking changes to melodic content, vocal delivery, lyrics and form. Musical analysis and transcription reveal Franklin's re-authoring techniques, which relate to rhetorical strategies of motivated rewriting, talking texts and call-and-response introduced by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The extent of her re-authoring grants her status as owner of the son…
Musical Emergence in Björk's Medúlla
Björk's 2004 album Medúlla offers listeners radical and new combinations of vocal sounds in pop music. The album features emergent processes ranging from textural emergence, as in standard pop-rock formulas for song introductions, to less common emergent and transformative processes involving metrical, tonal, motivic and phrasal structure. When such processes involving different parameters are combined, other (non-emergent) processes recede to th…
Harmonic Stasis and Oscillation in Björk's Medúlla
Björk Guðmundsdóttir's 2004 all-vocal album Medúlla provides an opportunity to explore processes of harmonic oscillation, the repetition of two or more alternating harmonies, and stasis, the continuous repetition of a single harmony. Qualities of timelessness are evoked through harmonic stasis, which allows for intricate vocal textures to come to the fore in songs such as "Komið" and "Öll Birtan." "Who Is It" illustrates how local-level and globa…
