    Themes in Songs Written by Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: Differences Across the Lifespan
    Baker, F ; Kennelly, J ; Tamplin, J (Australian Music Therapy Association, 2005)
    This study aimed to identify age differences in the themes of songs written by patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Lyrics from 82 songs written by 11 female and 20 male patients aged between 5 and 60 years were categorised into eight themes and 24 categories. Incidence of categories and themes were calculated and compared across six age brackets. Results suggest that children, early adolescent, and middle adolescent patients with TBI focus on memories to a substantially greater degree than older patients. Early and late adolescent patient groups are most likely to be self-reflective, and to raise concerns about the future, when compared with other patient groups.

    Development of a music therapy service in an Australian public rehabilitation hospital
    TAMPLIN, J (GAMUT - Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre (NORCE & University of Bergen), 2006)
    It is often challenging to find information about the details and development of clinical music therapy programs in other parts of the world. This article addresses a gap in the literature by describing the evolution of a neurological rehabilitation program over the past two years in Melbourne, Australia. After providing some local details on the development of rehabilitation music therapy in this part of the world, a brief rationale is offered for the place of music therapy in clinical rehabilitation services. This is followed by a detailed description of the implementation, operation and evaluation of the music therapy program established at the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre in 2004. Music therapy in adult neurological rehabilitation is still an emerging area of practice in Australia. Although the first music therapy service for adult rehabilitation was piloted and developed here over 13 years ago, few rehabilitation facilities currently employ music therapy as a standard part of rehabilitation service. Although research and practice of music therapy in rehabilitation internationally is relatively new, it has been practiced for around 20 to 30 years in the United Kingdom and the United States of America respectively. The scarcity of music therapy positions in rehabilitation facilities in Australia is possibly a reflection of the lack of understanding of music therapy on the part of funding bodies and the shortage of rigorous music therapy research in this field. The establishment of new music therapy positions in rehabilitation facilities reflects the development of music therapy in neurorehabilitation internationally in terms of research, clinical practice and publications.

    KEYBOARD INSTRUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTALISTS IN MANILA (1581- 1798)
    Irving, D (CONSEJO SUPERIOR INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS-CSIC, 2005)
    Aunque muchos instrumentos de teclado fueron fabricados en las Filipinas o importados por aquellas islas durante el período colonial español (1565-1878), la mayor parte de los que aún existen son del siglo XIX. Debe tenerse en cuenta, sin embargo, que la música para teclado tuvo un auge importante en Filipinas desde los inicios mismos de la presencia española. Empezaron a llegar diversos instrumentos hacia finales del siglo XVI, y a lo largo de los dos siglos siguientes se construyeron varios órganos en las escuelas de las misiones presentes en el archipiélago. Al final del siglo XVIII muchos instrumentos fueron construidos en las colonias, sobre todo con la llegada del misionero y constructor de instrumentos, Diego Cera de la Virgen en el año 1792, y el establecimiento de su taller. Aunque sólo disponemos de una información incompleta, aún existe mucha información de archivo a la espera de ser reunida, y todavía hace falta realizar un estudio detallado de los instrumentos de teclado y de sus ejecutantes durante aquel periodo colonial en Manila. Este artículo pretende cubrir esta laguna en parte, referida al período 1581 a 1798.

    De mozas donosas y gauchos matreros. Música, género y nación en la obra temprana de Alberto Ginastera
    PLESCH, M (Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2002)
    Spanish: A pesar de haber sido considerada tradicionalmente como la más "abstracta" y "autónoma" de todas las artes, la música participa activamente en la construcción, propagación y perpetuación de estereotipos de género y nacionalidad, condicionando nuestra percepción de lo femenino y lo masculino y nuestro sentido de pertenencia o alteridad respecto de una cultura determinada l. El objeto de este trabajo es explorar esta problemática a partir del análisis de una obra en la que se articulan significativamente las construcciones de género y nacionalidad, las Tres danzas argentinas de Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983). English: Despite being traditionally considered the most "abstract" and "autonomous" of all the arts, music actively participates in the construction, propagation and perpetuation of gender and national stereotypes, conditioning our perception of the feminine and the masculine and our sense of belonging or otherness regarding a certain culture. The objective of this work is to explore this problem from the analysis of a work in which the constructions of gender and nationality are significantly articulated, the Three Argentine Dances by Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983).
