Sažetak
We are developing a new approach to musical narrativity in which we compare musical structure with stories told spontaneously by music therapy clients. In GIM, clients experience imagery (social and physical situations) that appears to be evoked by music and has a narrative structure related to music’s temporal structure (Bonny, 1995). Firstly, we hypothesized that musical movement triggers movement in the imagery: The more a musical piece is perceived to move, the more the imagery will move. To test this, the first author conducted standard GIM sessions with 23 clients using Bonny’s “Nurturing” programme (7 compositions, 30min). Everything the clients said while the music was playing was transcribed in MAXQDA. Each sentence was then mapped onto one 3 imagery types: scenery (client observes), action (client acts), and presence (characters appear). Most clients experienced the same imagery types in the same music passages. In Britten’s piece the ratio (scenery:action:presence) was 63:25:12 ; Walton’s piece 100:0:0 ; Berlioz's first piece 51:25:24 ; Berlioz’s second piece 43:12:45 ; Puccini’s piece 61:20:19 ; Massenet’s piece 58:23:19 ; Canteloube’s piece 54:18:28. We then asked 11 professional musicians to listen to the 7 compositions in the same order as the clients did. Their task was to rate each composition on a continuous scale from ‘smooth’ (value 0) to ‘jumpy’ (value 1) using a slider in Psychopy. The pieces that musicians judged as most smooth were also the pieces that evoked the most ‘scenery’ imagery, confirming our hypothesis. A Pearson correlation was used to determine the correlation between ‘jumpiness’ value and each imagery type ; ‘scenery’ (R=-0.86), ‘action’ (R=0.67), ‘presence’ (R=0.69).
