SummaryThis research focuses on writing awareness through music. Over a 10 week period, 17 kindergarten pupils participated in a program where their ability to write music was evaluated by examining their graphic productions called invented notations. Our results show that few children were able to use a musical graphic code during the pre-test, but the majority of them used it during the post-test. Their metagraphic comments reveal that many of these young writers were able to establish links between musical writing and graphic scripts. In summary, it seems that musical education could be a complementary approach to pre-reading and pre-writing skills for preschool children.

This article first proposes a definition of intermediality based upon the idea of “mediatic qualities”. Secondly, it takes as an example Alfred Schnittke's 1 st Symphony, composed from film archives of the 20th century. The archaeological complexity of Schnittke's musical work rests upon two effects that are not foreign to each other: the sense of plot that penetrates his musical compositions, and the archival dimension that, considering the materiality of films as “work documents” passes into the musicality. This work is organised along two narrative axis: an impossible history of music which mirrors an impossible human history; an intermediatic and underground narrativization who's attractive pole is the indescribable event of the Second World War. The cross-cutting of musical narrativity and cinematographic narrativity produce “enchantments” that depend on “traces of orality”, i.e. the mediatic qualities of sound and the body's performance. Historical narrativity is hence criticized and subverted by the live transfiguration of technique.

The following article is devoted to the study of a Marc-Antoine Charpentier Christmas oratorio's fragment. The later was discovered in the vocal religious repertoire adapted by French Jesuits of Canada for the uses of Saint-Francis Mission's Abnaki during the last quarter of 17th century. The reconstitution of the journey taken by the "Chanson des Bergers" (Sheppard's Song - H.420) from Paris to Canada as well as the adaptation process that the work had to undergo in order to better suit its new environment, are at the heart of our analysis.

The article analyzes the narrative and musical structure of DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon, highlighting the mechanisms that foster its internal coherence. The main hypothesis is based on the idea that this structural coherence enhances the work's predictability and memorability for the audience. Through an approach that integrates neuroscience, the study specifically examines the central theme of flight and friendship, whose treatment by John Powell ensures a perfect synergy between music and narrative. The analysis of key scenes, such as Test Drive and Forbidden Friendship, reveals a musical organization that supports and intensifies the story. The results suggest that How to Train Your Dragon relies on solid structural principles, ensuring the unification of both narrative and musical discourse.
