This paper analyzes a performance by Chavela Vargas of the song "Que te Vaya Bonito" to understand how she produces and performs "sentimiento". The author describes how Vargas manipulates her breath and vocal tones to convey two personas - "sentida", a soft hurt, and "desgarrada", a ripped or damaged voice. Through alternating whispering and ragged vocalizations that imply resisting tears, Vargas activates the apparatus of crying in her body to achieve an effect of inhibited crying, conveying emotion through her disrupted and uneven vocal delivery before the language itself. Her performance challenges conventional understandings of sentimiento and expands how emotional expression can be culturally produced and experienced.
The document is a story about a girl named Aria who attends a violin performance by Lerato Nathans. She is captivated by his passionate playing and the way he seems to embody the music. Though she is the top violinist in her school, she realizes while watching Lerato that she has lost her passion for playing. She hopes to one day surpass Lerato's level of virtuosity and regain the passion that originally drew her to the violin.
The document analyzes how Langston Hughes uses white voices in his poems "The Weary Blues" and "Brass Spittoons" to discuss labor and oppression. In "The Weary Blues," the white narrator fades away to show the disconnect between white audiences and black performers. In "Brass Spittoons," an oppressive white supervisor interrupts the black speaker to represent the pressures faced by black laborers. Both poems employ white presences to make statements about the experiences of African Americans.
Nora McCarthy's new jazz album "blesSINGS" features her original compositions and lyrics that aim to promote compassion and environmental awareness. The album was produced in August 2015 and features McCarthy's voice alongside Jorge Sylvester on saxophone, Pablo Vergara on piano, Donald Nicks on bass, and Kenny Grohowski on drums. Critics have praised McCarthy for her diverse talents as a singer, composer, arranger, and scat vocalist.
This document provides an analysis comparing Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 and Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Both works aim to encompass the universe through music and poetry. While the Symphony has two uneven movements, the Comedy is divided into three carefully arranged parts. Music plays an important role in both works, with pleasing tones in Purgatory and sonorous music in Paradise. The works also similarly use language and invoke the divine through chants and invocations.

This document discusses poetry therapy and its benefits. It provides an overview of the history of poetry therapy, outlines some key components and healing aspects of poetry, and shares examples from the author's experience conducting poetry therapy groups. Some key points:
- Poetry therapy uses language, rhythm, metaphor and other poetic elements to help people express themselves and gain insight. It can help reduce isolation and build self-esteem.
- Though the use of literature and poetry for healing goes back centuries, poetry therapy emerged as a defined field in the 1950/60s. The National Association for Poetry Therapy was formed in 1980 to establish guidelines.
- Poetic elements like rhythm, sounds, repetition and form can help structure strong emotions
The poem explores the relationship between the speaker and an anonymous blues performer. There is an implied connection between them through the performer's "droning" and "rocking" blues music, which invites participation and is of the same tradition as the speaker's own "drowsy syncopated tune." The performer remains nameless as he is a common practitioner of the blues, living an unglamorous life unlike more famous stars. His eight-bar blues stanza expresses fleeting hope, while his twelve-bar stanza emphasizes weariness and a wish to die, showing the tension between the romantic image of the blues and the singer's real resignation to his fate.
The document discusses several forms of African music including maracatu, blues, soul, spirituals, and call and response. Maracatu originated in Brazil and combines strong African rhythms with Portuguese melodies. Blues originated in African American communities in the Deep South and uses soulful sounds to express feelings like lost love. Soul music combines elements of gospel, rhythm and blues, and jazz with catchy rhythms and dancing. Spirituals are religious songs that were sung by enslaved Africans with dramatic vocal styles. Call and response uses distinct musical phrases between musicians to comment on each other.
The poem explores themes of motherhood and the eternal connection between a mother and daughter. It uses the imagery of an umbilical cord buried in a forest to represent the invisible bond they still share even after birth when the physical cord was cut. As the daughter grows up and begins to leave home, she goes in search of this cord in the forest, seeing the stars as her mother's eyes guiding her. She does not find a physical cord but discovers the mother connection she seeks as she hears a baby cry, perhaps finding motherhood herself. The poem celebrates the enduring relationship between mother and child that transcends physical distances.

- The document discusses and compares two poems by William Wordsworth: "Tintern Abbey" and "Ode: Intimations of Immortality".
- Both poems explore Wordsworth's relationship with nature over time, addressing his experience of it in youth versus maturity. As a youth, he had a "visionary power" working through nature, while as an adult he found nature provided "soothing thoughts" and inspiration.
- The poems mark Wordsworth's shift from seeing nature through a "painter's eye" to understanding its "hidden meaning" and using it to contemplate the human condition and eternity. Though he lost his youthful connection, nature continued to nourish and teach him.

The speaker recalls warm memories from his past as he listens to someone play the piano, remembering his mother's grace as she played and the cozy Sunday evenings spent with his family.

Klaus Scherer - Heavenly Voices - The expression of emotion in operatic singi...swissnex San Francisco
This document discusses research on the expression of emotion in singing. It summarizes studies on how different singers express various emotions like joy, sadness, fear through vocal qualities like spectral balance, perturbation, loudness, and tempo. Interviews with opera singers show that expressing emotion requires feeling the emotion but maintaining control over the voice. Ratings of sopranos singing scenes from Lucia di Lammermoor found differences in how they expressed emotions like tenderness, passion, fear of death. Analysis of their voices found locations in a two-dimensional space of vocal qualities.
The speaker is recalling dancing with their father as a child. In the first stanza, the speaker describes clinging to their father as they waltzed drunkenly around the kitchen until pots fell from shelves, upsetting the speaker's mother. In the second stanza, the speaker notes their father's battered hand holding their wrist tightly and missing steps, scraping the speaker's ear on a buckle. The last stanza describes the father beating time on the speaker's head with his dirty palm before waltzing the speaker off to bed still holding onto his shirt.
This poem explores the extreme suffering of the speaker through the use of sound, punctuation, diction, personification, repetition, and allusion. Written in a Petrarchan sonnet form, the speaker expresses anguished cries to the Holy Spirit and Mary for relief from the "pitched past pitch of grief" and "forepangs" that plague his life. While the author Hopkins experienced deep melancholy throughout his life, this poem profoundly reveals the depths of emotional suffering one can endure.
The document discusses various poetic forms and genres including stanzas, couplets, and refrains. It defines a stanza as a group of lines with a consistent pattern of meter, rhyme, and number of lines. Couplets are two lines that rhyme, and can become stanzas if separated by space. Refrains are repeating words or phrases at the beginning or end of stanzas. The document also provides examples of different types of stanzas like tercets, quatrains, and how to analyze poetic form and progression between stanzas.
The poem describes a man who is transported back to his childhood by listening to a piano being played. In three stanzas, it summarizes:
1) He recalls sitting under the piano as a child, watching his mother play with grace and beauty, feeling secure and warm.
2) The music overwhelms him with memories and nostalgia for Sunday evenings spent with his family in the comfort of their home.
3) He is overcome with emotion, weeping openly like a child for the lost innocence and security of his past. The powerful memories have destroyed his composure.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Abstract:
Listening to the voice and breath of Chavela reveals the power structures that exist as and within
sentimiento, the affirmation of a public that notes in the vocal production of the other their own
disgrace or good fortune. Understanding its historical trajectory as a highly contested ground for
representation, not as a single representative of a national “Mexican” feeling. This is not to say
Vargas rescues a voice of the past; instead, she forces one to listen and indulge in her pain,
which resonates through her body messily, a cry to awaken the timbre corporeal, Musicologist
Nina Eidsheim’s concept of the voice we hear as , to that sentimiento, that is only possible to
perceive through the voice’s body, and cannot be attributed to merely “passionate” or “pastoral”
lyrics, as it has been.

sentimiento begs a theoretical development that goes beyond
linguistic translation.

this paper, I the canción ranchera genre of Mexico, musical
emblem of the nation state.
• I insist on calling it sentimiento in order to locate it within the
historical trajectories of emotional production in the Spanish
speaking Americas. I do it to highlight the role of emotion in the
colonial landscape where Spanish and/or English became the
national languages.
• To sing with sentimiento is to transmit feeling, to take the
listener to the place of heartbreak, to exploit the language of
love, to create community and meaning, to be heard.
• However, I am wary of my “definitions”, for I am cognizant of
and wish to depart from the typical thinking of sentimiento that
defines it as an inherently Mexican trait, as something that
emanates from a predetermined interiority. Today we will listen
to Chavela Vargas’ performance, Costa Rican born (currently 90 years of
age) singer, “the most symbolic, most representative singer” of the sentimental
Mexican soul, according to the liner notes of her earlier recordings, a detail
Yvonne Yarbro Bejarano points out in her essay “Crossing the Border with
Chavela Vargas”. This paper takes off where Yarbro Bejarano
mentions how Vargas performs “the artful manipulation of the
range of the human voice” How does Vargas reproduce sentimiento?
How does her voice?
Que te Vaya Bonito: Breath and sentimiento according to Chavela Vargas
Ojala que mi amor no te duela, and that you may forget me, forever! May your
veins be filled with blood, and may life endow you with luck!
In order to listen to Chavela Vargas’ voice, I heed suspicious advice, take pen and
paper, and scandalously notate what I cannot presume to calibrate: word for word, I
3. notice Vargas’ breath, held and released painfully, coming and going, a display that does
not hide the fatigue of singing’s work, a display of heartbreak produced by a vocal
artisan. It becomes clear that the song is about what the voice cannot presume to hide but
is often hidden: its labor. This is an invitation to consider how Vargas labors to produce
sentimiento, not from the inside out, but from the cavities of her vocal apparatus.
Her public positioning as a lesbian also marks her performances, and has made
her an icon for the community across the world. How does a lesbian woman born outside
the nation state come to represent a nationalistic sentiment, geared toward normative
reproductions and representations of masculinity and femininity? What would she have
meant when she abandoned Costa Rica looking for opportunities in Mexico as age 14 and
aspiring to “sing like the Mexicans”? The song in question here is Que te Vaya Bonito, a
classic about love’s abandonment authored by the late preeminent singer/songwriter Jose
Alfredo Jimenez from a male heterosexual position, a position that Vargas artfully
“drags” to borrow Yarbro Bejarano’s concept.
If the words of this song bid farewell to the beloved, wishing her a “beautiful”
outcome in life, Vargas performs an insistence for her/him to stay, an insistence to hear
her emotional struggle. The struggle of the voice to force such well-meaning words out is
evident. This gives insight into not only the body of the singer, but also the body of the
listener, for performing with sentimiento is the satisfying contagion of a familiar
heartbreak, not only aurally, but corporeally as well.
A single guitar accompanies Vargas. This minimalism is significantly distinct
from the mariachi accompaniment. Nevertheless, the guitar executes a steady melody
foregrounding a vocal disobedience that displaces the authority of consistency. The voice
4. wanders powerfully into a distinct musical path departing from the discipline the playing
fingers enact.
First is her soft spoken “ojala…que te vaya…I hope, for you, that it goes…”
Immediately after, the pause is brief, but marks the beginning of the end: with bonito, her
voice on the precipice of discharging suffering and spite. Bonito is emitted with regret by
who seems to be one of the many emotional stagings by Vargas, which I hear as her
“sentida”, upset and melancholy, voice.
Now, I’d like to pause here for a few minutes to take some time to illustrate
this concept of sentida and desgarrada, another vocal persona I hear, to illistrate
with Phillip Tagg’s concept.
Sentida, from the verb “to feel”, literally means felt (depending on the ending
(a) or (o) it is gendered, gendered female), but as a designation of an emotional state
it describes a hurt person, a person let down by someone they have an intimate
connection with, usually without enragement, it is a “soft” heartbreak.
I hear sentida in a double sense: sentida as hurt, performing feeling in such a
way as to convince us of her quiet offense, and sentida as felt, it is a voice sentida,
not only hurt, but felt by us.
How does she produce this? Vargas flexes the diaphragm and does not let go,
never crying but living in the painful verge of controlling contempt. Sentida, she
displays the body’s dilemma between the hysteria of sobbing and the intelligibility
of words, between resignation and retribution.
Now, voz desgarrada is the voice that is literally ripped away from the body,
from an apparant root, the hoarse voice, the damaged voice that somehow refreshes
5. the stereotyped voice of emotion by not attempting to hide that damage. It reveals
the channels of the throat. It is the ultimate attempt of being heard by the lover. It is
what Bejarano again alludes to as “these unexpected surges create a effect of excess
that disrupts the conventional level of the lyrics.”
The sentida, can return to the whisper or morph into utter desgarro. Imagining her
voice as marking concentric circles in the space around her, like an aural halos, I hear
these two personas of sentida and desgarrada throughout the song.
Both the voz sentida and the voz desgarrada activate the apparatus of crying in
Vargas’ body. The unstable utterance of bo-hhh-ni-hhh-tttt-oohhhh, each “h” a short,
quick breath as she resists crying and struggles to remain textually intelligible, although
this disrupted voice, as musician Laurie Stras might call it, “conveys meaning before it
conveys language” (173). To achieve the effect of inhibited crying that at times she
allows to break through, Vargas must alternate between closing her vocal folds and
letting out air, implying constant regulation of the diaphragm.
Words are not enounced without a troubled passage through Vargas’ throat. Hers
is not a fluid interpretation, but one constantly interrupted by her pauses, her taking in of
air to let it out unevenly in pitch and in tone, the sonic iconoclams Yarbro Bejarano refers
to. This breath remains a presence throughout the song; Chavela noisily takes in what she
needs to continue to emphasize desgarro, produced while loudly resisting the vocal
apparatus. Ojala!!!
Vargas’ words seem to choke and entangle into what is a common expression in
Spanish : un nudo en la garganta, the knot in the throat, when one cannot speak because
words will not come out, but the desperate, or quiet, breath of tears. This kind of tension
6. is key if performing with sentimiento, as Najera Ramirez notes, “Singers who merely sob
through an entire song lose the emotional tension that a skilled ranchera performer
manages and prompts such criticism as “Es muy llorona. She’s just a whiner” (Arredondo
188). A whiner Chavela is not. Sentida and desgarrada, Chavela invents a sentimiento all
her own while paying homage to it. Listening to Chavela’s voice, I am challenged to
revel, and undo, her nudo en la garganta, the knot in her throat, to depart critically in
order to listen carefully. This undoing of the throat reveals some of the role of her voice
in validating a community otherwise alienated by the heterosexual codes in popular
music, like those Yarbro-Bejarano makes note in her essay, a lesbian public of
sentimiento becomes a taunting possibility, of sentidas, women feeling for and each
other.
Vargas’s voice emerges from a point that expands and returns to what sounds like
a spoken confession: close to our ear, the microphone fulfills the desire of proximity,
including the crisp sound upon the opening and closing of the mouth. As Carlos
Monsivais, cultural critic often engaging with the sounds of Latino American popular
culture, stated in Chavela Vargas’ farewell concert in 2006, “Chavela added a radical
solitude to the ranchera repertoire, where the music and lyrics reach the level of early
morning confessions”1. These are confessions possible after a few drinks, which the
lyrics she chose to sing, already massively popular, often invoke.
Sentida and Desgarrada, Chavela indeed creates a space of confession that does
not seek redemption in the religious sense. This is her part of her “critique” if I may: if
sentimiento reigns within a patriarchal fantasy of love and patriotism, Chavela secularizes

7. it while appropriating its confessional space. When we listen to Chavela, her voice is
performing the intimate whisper, the voice close to the ear of another, disclosing the
wishes she endows on the other person. The microphone allows us to listen in closely, as
if we were right there, next to her, allowing a technology of intimacy to emerge out of her
interaction with the amplifying device. Vargas’ confession becomes the sin itself, the
voice that escapes the words themselves, the voice that allows its work to be heard. Her
body, hidden beneath heavy ponchos, seems to reside in the carnality of her sound.
Conclusion
I don’t know if your absence will kill me, though I have a chest made of
steel…but don’t no one call me a coward! Without knowing, how much I love you…
Listening to the voice and breath of Chavela reveals the power structures that
exist as and within sentimiento, the affirmation of a public that notes in the vocal
production of the other their own disgrace or good fortune. Understanding its historical
trajectory as a highly contested ground for representation, not as a single representative of
a national “Mexican” feeling. This is not to say Vargas rescues a voice of the past;
instead, she forces one to listen and indulge in her pain, which resonates through her
body messily, a cry to awaken the timbre corporeal, Musicologist Nina Eidsheim’s
concept of the voice we hear as , to that sentimiento, that is only possible to perceive
through the voice’s body, and cannot be attributed to merely “passionate” or “pastoral”
lyrics, as it has been.
Sentimiento is everyone’s, a public domain of feeling in its socio-cultural sphere,
and no one’s, no one can claim to capture it as it should be done. It can be felt in one
8. singer, but not reduced to it. Vargas re-territorializes sentimiento into feeling that arouses
passions that seem at odds with the Mexican representations. Her voice then produces
sentimiento, emotion, through the absence of voice, the presence of breath, the recreation
of a confessional space to indulge in lesbian desire, by putting the carnality of emotion
and of the voice to the fore.
If sentimiento is punctuated with cries of “God’s truth!” to validate the feeling of
the singer, of their heartbroken vocal personas, then we can hear the voice of Vargas,
breath and truth contributing to her rendition of artificial, but felt, sentimiento. It may be
God’s truth, but in its corporeal transmission and distribution, it is Chavela Vargas’s truth
as well.
It is the truth of a community of sentidas, and sentidos as well. Sentidas, in the
double sense of women erotically feeling each other, here transforms itself from the
suffering of the heterosexual imaginary (sentida/o) to the pleasure of being felt and
feeling. The codes that are presumed inherent and natural in sentimiento remain
seductive yet sequestered by Vargas and by the pleasures of transgression disguised
as suffering and spite, as desgarrada and sentida.
