  • Major and Minor Scales Half and Whole Steps
    Dr. Barbara Murphy University of Tennessee School of Music MAJOR AND MINOR SCALES HALF AND WHOLE STEPS: half-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that are adjacent on the piano keyboard whole-step - two keys (and therefore notes/pitches) that have another key in between chromatic half-step -- a half step written as two of the same note with different accidentals (e.g., F-F#) diatonic half-step -- a half step that uses two different note names (e.g., F#-G) chromatic half step diatonic half step SCALES: A scale is a stepwise arrangement of notes/pitches contained within an octave. Major and minor scales contain seven notes or scale degrees. A scale degree is designated by an Arabic numeral with a cap (^) which indicate the position of the note within the scale. Each scale degree has a name and solfege syllable: SCALE DEGREE NAME SOLFEGE 1 tonic do 2 supertonic re 3 mediant mi 4 subdominant fa 5 dominant sol 6 submediant la 7 leading tone ti MAJOR SCALES: A major scale is a scale that has half steps (H) between scale degrees 3-4 and 7-8 and whole steps between all other pairs of notes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 W W H W W W H TETRACHORDS: A tetrachord is a group of four notes in a scale. There are two tetrachords in the major scale, each with the same order half- and whole-steps (W-W-H). Therefore, a tetrachord consisting of W-W-H can be the top tetrachord or the bottom tetrachord of a major scale.

Tt:re baalei haTosafos (also known as "Tosafists") were sages of theJewish communities in France and Germany (with a few in other European countries) in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Some of them offici- ated as the halachic leaders of the community and functioned as representatives to the gentile authorities. Some ranyeshivos, where disciples would devote all their time to studying Torah. ThebaaleihaTosafoslived in a time that is regarded inJewish history as the period of the Rishonim. "Rishonirn" (literally "first") is the collective term given to the sages who lived in Europe and North Africa after the time of the Geonim (who lived in Babylon). This period extended until the Tur or R' Yosef Karo (who compiled the Shulchan Aruch), after which the period of the Acharonim began. Not all the sages who lived in these areas during this time period are called Tosafists, however. The term "Tosafist" applies to those who learned the Gemara in a certain way.

  • Politics and Administration: a Review of Research and Some Suggestions
    POLITICS AND ADMINISTRATION: A REVIEW OF RESEARCH AND SOME SUGGESTIONS Tansu Demir University of Illinois at Springfield Department of Public Administration Public Affairs Center, Room 418 One University Plaza, MS PAC 420 Springfield, IL 62703-5407 Tel. (217) 206-8325 E-mail. [email protected] Tansu Demir, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Public Administration at the University of Illinois – Springfield. His research interests include public administration theory, bureaucratic politics, and public policy process. He has forthcoming articles in Administration & Society, Public Administration Review, and International Journal of Public Administration. ABSTRACT The role of public administration in the political process has been of great concern since the emergence of public administration as an academic field in the late 1880s. The question of how public administration relates to the political process is of pivotal importance to scholars and practitioners alike as it bears implications for disciplinary identity (and autonomy) and institutional development of public administration. Despite a voluminous literature on the subject, the question remains unanswered. This paper identifies three major schools of thought on politics-administration relationship, and examines the state of research that has flowed in three strands as historical, conceptual, and empirical. In the end, the paper makes an overall evaluation and lays out some suggestions. 1 POLITICS AND ADMINISTRATION: A REVIEW OF RESEARCH AND SOME SUGGESTIONS The proper role of public administration in the political process has remained an important question since the emergence of public administration as a field of study in the late 1880s. In his famous article, Wilson (1887) outlined what later happened to be called the politics-administration dichotomy, a theoretical model that emphasizes distinct features of public administration vis-à-vis politics.

  • Of the Mishnah, Bavli & Yerushalmi
    0 Learning at SVARA SVARA’s learning happens in the bet midrash, a space for study partners (​chevrutas​) to build a relationship with the Talmud text, with one another, and with the tradition—all in community and a queer-normative, loving culture. The learning is rigorous, yet the bet midrash environment is warm and supportive. Learning at SVARA focuses on skill-building (learning how to learn), foregrounding the radical roots of the Jewish tradition, empowering learners to become “players” in it, cultivating Talmud study as a spiritual practice, and with the ultimate goal of nurturing human beings shaped by one of the central spiritual, moral, and intellectual technologies of our tradition: ​Talmud Torah​ (the study of Torah). The SVARA method is a simple, step-by-step process in which the teacher is always an authentic co-learner with their students, teaching the Talmud not so much as a ​normative​ document prescribing specific behaviors, but as a ​formative​ document, shaping us into a certain kind of human being. We believe the Talmud itself is a handbook for how to, sometimes even radically, upgrade our tradition when it no longer functions to create the most liberatory world possible. All SVARA learning begins with the CRASH Talk. Here we lay out our philosophy of the Talmud and the rabbinic revolution that gave rise to it—along with important vocabulary and concepts for anyone learning Jewish texts. This talk is both an overview of the ultimate goals of the Jewish enterprise, as well as a crash course in ​halachic​ (Jewish legal) jurisprudence. Beyond its application to Judaism, CRASH Theory is a simple but elegant model of how all change happens—whether societal, religious, organizational, or personal.

  • How to Prepare for the Music Fundamentals Test
    How to Prepare for the Music Fundamentals Test On your audition day, you will be given a brief written music fundamentals test. Its purpose is to determine whether or not you are ready to begin Music Theory I and Aural Skills I during your first semester at Wheaton. The test is graded pass/fail, and both accuracy and time are factored into the results. Even if you have already taken music theory or aural skills classes, the test is mandatory. To prepare for the test, memorize the following: • Note names in both treble and bass clefs. • The relationships between basic note values (i.e., whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, 8th notes, and 16th notes), as well as their equivalent rests. • The meanings of dots, ties, and beams. • The meanings of 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 (C), 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8 signatures. • All 30 major and natural minor scales in treble and bass clefs. • All 30 major and minor key signatures in treble and bass clefs. If you are unfamiliar with any of the concepts listed above, desire clarification on them, or want to practice them, you are encouraged to visit the following websites: www.musictheory.net www.teoria.com www.emusictheory.com Revised April 2012 Scale and Key Signature Memorization Guide Major Scale Natural Minor Scale Key Signature C♭ Major C♭ D♭ E♭ F♭ G♭ A♭ B♭ C♭ A♭ Minor A♭ B♭ C♭ D♭ E♭ F♭ G♭ A♭ G♭ Major G♭ A♭ B♭ C♭ D♭ E♭ F G♭ E♭ Minor E♭ F G♭ A♭ B♭ C♭ D♭ E♭ D♭ Major D♭ E♭ F G♭ A♭ B♭ C D♭ B♭ Minor B♭ C D♭ E♭ F G♭ A♭ B♭ A♭ Major A♭ B♭ C D♭ E♭ F G A♭ F Minor F G A♭ B♭ C D♭ E♭ F E♭ Major E♭ F G A♭ B♭ C D E♭ C Minor C D

  • Enharmonic 1
    Tagg: Everyday Tonality II — Enharmonic 1 Enharmonic Addednum to Tagg’s online glossary 3 pp., 2018-11-11, 11:22, enharmonic.fm ENHARMONIC mus. adj. characteristic of notes having identical pitch in equal-tone tuning but which for practical reasons are ‘spelt’ differ- ently. For example, the note b4 (≈494 hz) is much more likely to be written c$4 (≈494 hz) in the key of B$ minor, but it will inevitably ap- pear as b@ in its own key of B (Fig. 1: 1-2). Similarly, the individual note pitch g, apart from being itself (Fig. 1: 3), should be spelt f! (‘F double sharp’) in a G# minor context (Fig. 1: 4). Just as it would be mad to write d e g$ g@ (5 ^6 $1 $1) for a simple 5-^6-^7-1 run-up from d to g, it’s absurd to write the same 5-^6-^7-1 run-up in G# minor (from d# to g#) as 5-&7-$1-1 or as anything other than d# e# f! g#. Fig. 1. Enharmonic spellings and misspellings 2 Tagg: Everyday Tonality II — Enharmonic Fig. 2. Enharmonic ups & downs: 12 × 12-note chromatic scales (equal-tone tuning) Enharmonics aren’t just a matter of formal correctness, even though seeing, say, d# (‘D sharp’) when it should be e$ (‘E flat’) is a bit like reading ‘I no’ instead of ‘I know’. Enharmonic spelling has more to do with clarity and practical convenience. The idea is to let the notation- ally literate musician know about the immediate tonal context and di- rection of the line being performed, not least if the line is chromatic.

  • Enharmonic Spelling
    Nineteenth-Century Styles (MUT 3551) Prof. Nancy Rogers W, ! ENHARMONIC SPELLING Enharmonic spelling is the practice of rewriting a note so that it looks different on paper but would be played by the same key on a piano (for instance, C!# and D!b). Although modern musicians may think of these pitches as equivalent, the practice of enharmonic spelling was unusual before the rise of equal temperament because two such pitches might not be exactly the same. (In keeping with this earlier tradition, string players and singers are often advised to perform sharp notes slightly higher and flat notes slightly lower.) It is useful to differentiate recognize three forms of enharmonic spelling: respelling for the sake of convenience, misspelling, and modulation through reinterpretation. Respelling for the sake of convenience Sometimes a composer wants to modulate according to a particular key relationship. For ^ instance, perhaps there is a prominent motive involving b6!, so it seems desirable to modulate to the key of bVI. Usually this is easy: if the composition begins in D, the music can simply modulate to B!b. However, what if the composition begins in D!b? Suddenly we are faced with the prospect of modulating to B!bb — a key that few, if any, performers would like to read for any length of time. Clearly it would be advantageous in this case to respell B!bb as A. (Despite the respelling, it is still customary to identify A as bVI.) Similarly, suppose that the composition emphasizes rising major thirds, so the composer decides to modulate from I to III.

  • Piano Key Frequencies 1 Piano Key Frequencies
    Piano key frequencies 1 Piano key frequencies This is a virtual keyboard showing the absolute frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the notes on a modern piano (typically containing 88 keys) in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). Each successive pitch is derived by multiplying (ascending) or dividing (descending) the previous by the twelfth root of two (approximately 1.05946309435929...). For example, to get the frequency a semitone up from A4 (A♯4), multiply 440 by the twelfth root of two. To go from A4 to B4 (up a whole tone, or two semitones), multiply 440 twice by the twelfth root of two. For other tuning schemes refer to musical tuning. This list of frequencies is for a theoretically ideal piano. On an actual piano the ratio between semitones is slightly larger, especially at the high and low ends, where string stiffness causes inharmonicity, i.e., the tendency for the harmonic makeup of each note to run sharp. To compensate for this, octaves are tuned slightly wide, stretched according to the inharmonic characteristics of each instrument. This deviation from equal temperament is called the Railsback curve. The following equation will give the frequency f of the nth key, as shown in the table: Alternatively, this can be written as: Virtual keyboard An 88-key piano, with the octaves numbered and Middle C (cyan) and A440 (yellow) highlighted.
