Acoustical concepts have served a central function in music theory since at least the 18th century. Generally speaking, the kinds of acoustical concepts music theorists have made use of have been those associated with what Robert Lindsay calls the production of sound. In this thesis, I explore how concepts related to a second strand of acoustical thought-the propagation of sound-may be applied in the analysis of contemporary musical works as well as in the composition of novel musical scales. I begin by analyzing Eliane Radigue's 2005 composition Naldjorlak for cello and two basset horns. My analysis shows not only how acoustical phenomena take center stage in Radigue's piece but also how similar phenomena may be used in the analysis of the work itself. Central to my analysis is Wayne Slawson's theory of sound color and, specifically, his analytical application of vowel formant patterns. Following this, I will demonstrate how room resonances can be used to create scales and, in the process, survey three methods for identifying them. The efficacy of these scales, constructed with both a resonant and consonant function in mind, will be demonstrated by presenting a musical passage of my own composing. To conclude, I examine how Frances Dyson uses acoustical language in her book The Tone of Our Times: Sound, Sense, Economy, and Ecology and contrast this with the way Radigue employs similar concepts in Naldjorlak. By examining the relationship of music and acoustical concepts related to the propagation of sound, this thesis reveals how acoustical concepts are powerful tools capable of shaping philosophical, analytical, and compositional thought.

520 $a Des au moins le 18e siecle, les concepts acoustiques ont servi comme une fonction centrale dans la theorie de musique. En generale, les types de concepts acoustiques utilises par les theoriciens de musique sont ceux qui sont associes avec ce que Robert Lindsay appel la production de son. Dans cette these, j'explore comment les concepts lies a un deuxieme element d'opinion acoustique-la propagation de son-peut etre applique dans l'analyse des oeuvres de musiques contemporains et dans la composition des nouvelles gammes musicales. Je commence en analysant la composition de 2005 d'Eliane Radigue, Naldjorlak, ecrit pour le violoncelle et deux cors de basset. Mon analyse ne demontre pas seulement comment les phenomenes musicaux prennent le role principal dans l'oeuvre de Radigue, mais aussi comment les phenomenes similaires peuvent etres utilises dans l'analyse de l'oeuvre elle-meme. Central a mon analyse est la theorie de la couleur de son de Wayne Slawson, et specifiquement, son application analytique des motifs des resonances des voyelles. Suivant, je demontra comment les resonances dans les chambres peuvent etres utilises pour creer les gammes, et dans le processus, trois methodes pour les identifier. L'efficacite de ces gammes, construisent avec une fonction retentissant ainsi que consonantique a l'esprit, sera demontrer avec une composition par moi-meme. En conclusion, j'examine comment Frances Dyson utilise une langage acoustique dans son livre The Tone of Our Times : Sound, Sense, Economy, and Ecology, et je vous expose la difference de la facon dont Radigue emploie les concepts similaires en Naldjorlak. En examinant la relation de la musique et les concepts acoustiques lies a la propagation de son, cette these demontre comment les concepts acoustiques sont un outil puissant; capable de sculpter les idees philosophiques, analytiques, et creatives.
