Özet:
This dissertation examines the use of the siren in musical works of the past century. Within the musical repertory, the siren always functions symbolically and sometimes also functions as a musical instrument. An exploration of these two functions, their definitions, and relevant musical examples is followed by an analysis and explanation of my multimedia work, This is not a Drill.
