Igor Stravinsky’s Sonata for Piano is an often overlooked yet important artifact of the composer’s neoclassicism. his treatment of tonality in the second movement is both literally and aurally more conventional than one might first guess. Stravinsky’s reliance on convention points to an ideology of continuity, one that honors the legacy of beethoven and other heroes. In doing so, Stravinsky’s Sonata brings forward old ideas wrought in new ways for a modern era. This essay examines ways of thinking about Stravinsky’s neoclassic style through analysis of the second movement of the Sonata focusing on the use of post-tonal techniques to create surprisingly tonal music.

The aim of this paper is to show why the neo-Pythagorean claims concerning musical structure are out-of-date and require the incorporation of contemporary psychological knowledge. The neo-Pythagorean view of musical structure has been analyzed and confronted with the contemporary neuropsychological view of music perception. It has been also suggested that musical intervals exist solely in human brains as a kind of interpretation of acoustic sounds. These sounds can be interpreted differently depending on many factors, which the popular speech-to-song illusion clearly illustrates. Another example of neo-Pythagorean ideas about musical structure that need psychological knowledge is tonal hierarchy, which also exists solely in human brains. Therefore, the popular musicological description of musical intervals in terms of mathematical proportions is misleading. It has been proposed that current musicological theories should always be confronted and consistent with contemporary psychological knowledge. This implies closer cooperation between musicology and the psychology of music.

The experience of tonal relations elicits different emotions of stability in listeners. Thus, tonality can be understood as a tool of emotional communication. For many semioticians every communicative phenomenon should be explained in terms of the sign theory. However, the pre-conceptual character of emotions of stability raises doubts about the applicability of a semiotic framework as a means of interpreting tonality. According to the author’s opinion, the applicability of a semiotic framework in music research is useful only if there is a single system for generating meaning in the brain, which is engaged in the processing of all kinds of meanings in language, music, and other communicative phenomena. Both music and language are complex phenomena which, in fact, share many communicative mechanisms. Nevertheless, they also possess traits which are specific solely to each. If the evolution of music and language branched out at some point in the anthropogenesis, some of music’s communicative features (among them tonality) would have become domain-specific. This means that the interpretation of a tonal message is based on another rule, and not the one involved in the interpretation of meaning in language. Thus, interpreting the message of tonality in terms of the semiotic sign theory is not a legitimate procedure. From this point of view, the only way of applying the semiotic framework to research into tonality is to understand signs in a purely functional sense, independent of the process of interpretation. Such an understanding of signs necessitates, however, a reformulation of semiotics.

The novena, one of the forms of popular piety developing in many epochs, consists in turning to God more fervently for a period of nine days, months or years, typically through the intercession of a saint, in order to obtain a favor. This article is concerned with A Novena in Honor of St. Joseph in Songs with a Litany for a Two-Voice Choir contained in a collection of Fr. Franciszek Walczyński, priest of the Tarnów Diocese, musician, and teacher. The cult of St. Joseph flourished especially in the 15th century. In 1870, Pope Pius IX proclaimed him patron of the Universal Church. Four out of the nine analyzed songs were earlier pieces which were given new melodies. The remaining ones were written entirely by Walczyński. The songs are stanzaic, mostly with four-line highly regular stanzas. Most lines have 11 or 8 syllables and exact and paired rhymes. One song has a mid-verse (intra-stanzaic) refrain. The songs have a two-part structure with various components AB retaining strict symmetry or deviating from it. The songs are highly melodious, which stems from the prevalence of seconds and thirds. The meter of the songs, with a few exceptions of 2-note melismas, is syllabic. The tonality is major-minor, with a predominance of the former. The analyzed songs are accessible and have a simple texture.

Folk religiouschants have already been the object of scientific study for several decades. The matter of morphological features of the religious repertoire in the living tradition includes several basic factors, such as poetic text structure (versification, strophic structure), stylistic and formal properties, metre and rhythm, melodics, and tonal considerations (cf. B. Bartkowski, Niektóre cechy muzycznej metrorytmiki polskich pieśni religijnych żyjących w tradycji ustnej, “Summarium. Sprawozdania Towarzystwa Naukowego KUL” 1978, no. 3 (23), p. 250). The purpose of this article is to present and analyse the tonal phenomena occurring in folk religious chants performed throughout the funeral rite in the region of Rzeszów (Rzeszów region – a region in South-Eastern Poland inhabited by the ethnic groups of Lasowiacy and Rzeszowiacy, which covers the approximate area of the current ten districts (Tarnobrzeg, Stalowa Wola, Nisko, Kolbuszowa, Leżajsk, Mielec, Ropczyce-Sędziszów, Rzeszów, Przeworsk, and Łańcut). -cf. Kolędowanie na Rzeszowszczyźnie, ed. K. Smyk, J. Dragan, Kolbuszowa – Kraków 2019, p. 8, and range maps, pp. 382–383), especially during the prayer for the deceased at home, the procession to the church, the procession to the cemetery, and the inhumation at the cemetery). The musical scales upon which the melodies of the individual chants are based have particular significance in terms of their musical shape. In fact, the tonality, which constitutes a note system, influences the interval structure, the relationships between individual notes, the melody and, indirectly, the regional conditions for the performance of the chants (cf. B. Bartkowski, Niektóre cechy…, p. 250). The material will be presented based on the scale range criterion while individual tonal phenomena will be presented using selected examples.

Ludowe śpiewy religijne już co najmniej od kilku dziesięcioleci stanowią przedmiot naukowych analiz. Problematyka cech morfologicznych repertuaru religijnego funkcjonującego w żywej tradycji obejmuje kilka podstawowych współczynników, takich jak: struktura tekstu poetyckiego (wersyfikacja, strofika), właściwości stylistyczno-formalne, metrorytmika muzyczna, melodyka oraz uwarunkowania tonalne (por. B. Bartkowski, Niektóre cechy muzycznej metrorytmiki polskich pieśni religijnych żyjących w tradycji ustnej, „Summarium. Sprawozdania Towarzystwa Naukowego KUL” 1978, nr 3 (23), s. 250). Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie i analizę zjawisk tonalnych zachodzących w repertuarze ludowych śpiewów religijnych wykonywanych w różnych momentach obrzędu pogrzebowego na Rzeszowszczyźnie (Rzeszowszczyzna – region południowo-wschodniej Polski zamieszkiwany przez grupy etnograficzne Rzeszowiaków i Lasowiaków, „obejmujący administracyjnie w przybliżeniu obszar dziesięciu obecnych powiatów (tarnobrzeskiego, stalowowolskiego, niżańskiego, kolbuszowskiego, leżajskiego, mieleckiego, ropczycko-sędziszowskiego, rzeszowskiego, przeworskiego i łańcuckiego)” – zob. Kolędowanie na Rzeszowszczyźnie, red. K. Smyk, J. Dragan, Kolbuszowa – Kraków 2019, s. 8, oraz mapy zasięgów, s. 382–383.) – zwłaszcza podczas domowej modlitwy za zmarłego, procesji do kościoła, procesji na cmentarz oraz przy inhumacji zwłok na cmentarzu. Skale muzyczne, na których opierają się melodie poszczególnych śpiewów, mają szczególne znaczenie dla ich muzycznego kształtu. Tonalność, będąca rodzajem systemu dźwiękowego, wpływa bowiem na ustrukturowanie interwałów, wzajemne relacje poszczególnych dźwięków i melodykę, a także, pośrednio, na regionalne uwarunkowania wykonawcze śpiewów (Por. B. Bartkowski, Niektóre cechy…, s. 250). Kryterium prezentacji omawianego materiału będzie zakres skali, a poszczególne zjawiska tonalne zostaną przedstawione na wybranych, reprezentatywnych przykładach.
