She c onducts interdisciplinary research on the roles of timbre and orchestratio n in music perception in the Music Perception and Cognition Lab. Her disse rtation research focuses on the analysis of the orchestral works of French composer Germaine Tailleferre (1892–1983).\n\nAbstract: Previous research in the field of timbre semantics finds a strong connection between metaph orical language and timbre\, with Wallmark (2014) noting that metaphorical descriptions convey shared perceptions of timbre. However\, the influence of specific musical elements on these semantic descriptions in orchestral music has not been examined. Studies on the significance of shared narrat ive associations (Margulis 2017) and genre-specific semantic descriptors ( Noble 2018) in orchestral music show promising findings—suggesting that in tersubjective semantic-timbral connections can exist\, even in complex mus ical contexts.\n\nThis presentation reports on a perceptual experiment ana lyzing semantic descriptions from participants provided in response to pia no and orchestral versions of Germaine Tailleferre’s Ballade (1920). The d escriptions are examined for patterns related to Tailleferre’s orchestrati on techniques\; particularly\, how the two instrumentations influence the type of language listeners use. This project aims to disentangle the relat ionship between semantic descriptions and the musical elements they are de rived from in Tailleferre’s work.\n DTSTART:20241030T203000Z DTEND:20241030T220000Z LOCATION:A-832\, Elizabeth Wirth Music Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1E3\, 527 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Doctoral Colloquium (Music) | Jade Roth URL:/music/channels/event/doctoral-colloquium-music-ja de-roth-360616 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
