Consisting of three separately-bound parts, the first part presents the rationale for the new musical notation in the form of a dialogue between two people who discuss what the ideal musical notation would be: the subject of unmetered durations and articulations., the representation of the temporal parameter, the domain of pitch and intervals, symbols for dynamics and timbre, and some observations on analytical insights. The second part provides numerous examples of each of the areas discussed in the dialogue. The final part presents the 50 appendices and supplemental materials concerning PANOTation along with traditional notation.

Imagine trying to convert rectangular bars to sounds of different duration.The eye can distinguish perhaps double- orhalf-durations. Maybe, the triple proportions can be perceived in relation to the referential unit.Surely, this type of proportions is only an infinitely small portion of the rich variety of durational proportionsfound in music. How about guessing the relationship of two bars which standfor the proportion expressed in traditional notation as double-dotted quarter note followed by a sixteenth note? NOT: As a rule, performers could not rely on bars for accuracy in judging different durations.I cannot think of a pianist required to play from such notation. PAN: Unless he would be equipped with a ruler to compare different durations with each other. Joke aside, a similar situation could arise inthe realm of pitch. How would you react to a prospect of producing just twodifferent sounds of the following specifications: One designated at the frequency of 273 cycles per second, andthe other to be following at the level of 405 cycles per second?

  • JANKOWSKY Final Corrected
    Rhythmic Elasticity and Metric Transformation in Tunisian Sṭambēlī Richard C. Jankowsky he study of musical microtiming, that is, the analysis of the actual durations of T rhythmic events in performance, has gained considerable momentum over the past decade.1 Of particular interest to scholars working among a diversity of global musical traditions has been the issue of non-isochronous beat subdivision. This issue has brought music theorists and ethnomusicologists into productive discussion and has produced a corpus of case studies ranging from jazz (Benadon 2006), Viennese waltz (Gabrielsson, Bengtsson, and Gabrielsson 1983), and Scandinavian dance music (Kvifte 2007) to Brazilian samba (Gerischer 2006), Baluchi folk music (During 1997), and Malian jembe drumming (Polak 2010). These case studies put considerable pressure on the widespread assumption that an isochronous “common fast pulse” must serve as the lowest metric referent level (see Kvifte 2007). As the data on rhythmic timing accumulates, it is becoming clear that many styles of music around the world rely on rhythmic structures that do not subdivide the beat into nominally equidistant pulses. Rather, they are based on timing patterns that, although structurally consistent, are not reducible to rational binary and ternary subdivisions. Rainer Polak’s (2010) quantitative study of Malian jembe rhythms, for instance, shows that jembe timing patterns do not conform to the kind of isochronous beat subdivisions advanced by much of the literature on West African meter. 1 An earlier, condensed version of this article was presented at the conference “Musical Metre in Comparative Perspective,” April 4–6, 2013, in Köln, Germany. I would like to thank Rainer Polak and Richard Cohn for their insightful feedback on the written version.

  • From Neumes to Notation: a Thousand Years of Passing on the Music by Charric Van Der Vliet
    From Neumes to Notation: A Thousand Years of Passing On the Music by Charric Van der Vliet Classical musicians, in the terminology of the 17th and 18th century musical historians, like to sneer at earlier music as "primitive", "rough", or "uncouth". The fact of the matter is that during the thousand years from 450 AD to about 1450 AD, Western Civilization went from no recording of music at all to a fully formed method of passing on the most intricate polyphony. That is no small achievement. It's attractive, I suppose, to assume the unthinking and barbaric nature of our ancestors, since it implies a certain smugness about "how far we've come." I've always thought that painting your ancestors as stupid was insulting both to them and to yourself. The barest outline of a thousand year journey only hints at the difficulties our medieval ancestors had to face to be musical. This is an attempt at sketching that outline. Each of the sub-headings of this lecture contains material for lifetimes of musical study. It is hoped that outlining this territory may help shape where your own interests will ultimately lie. Neumes: In the beginning, choristers needed reminders as to which way notes went. "That fifth note goes DOWN, George!" This situation was remedied by noting when the movement happened and what direction, above the text, with wavy lines. "Neume" was the adopted term for this. It's a Middle English corruption of the Greek word for breath, "pneuma." Then, to specify note's exact pitch was the next innovation.

  • The Duality of the Composer-Performer
    The Duality of the Composer-Performer by Marek Pasieczny Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Supervisors: Prof. Stephen Goss ©Marek Pasieczny 2015 The duality of the composer-performer A portfolio of original compositions, with a supplementary dissertation ‘Interviews Project: Thirteen Composers on Writing for the Guitar’. Abstract The main focus of this submission is the composition portfolio which consists of four pieces, each composed several times over for different combinations of instruments. The purpose of this PhD composition portfolio is threefold. Firstly, it is to contribute to the expansion of the classical guitar repertoire. Secondly, it is to defy the limits imposed by the technical facilities of the physical instrument and bring novelty to its playability. Third and most importantly, it is to overcome the challenges of being a guitarist-composer. Due to a high degree of familiarity with the traditional guitar repertoire, and possessing intimate knowledge of the instrument, it is often difficult for me as a guitarist-composer to depart from habitual tendencies to compose truly innovative works for the instrument. I have thus created a compositional approach whereby I separated my role as a composer from my role as a guitarist in an attempt to overcome this challenge. I called it the ‘dual-role’ approach, comprising four key strategies that I devised which involves (1) borrowing ‘New Music’ practices to defy traditionalist guitar tendencies which are often conservative and insular; (2) adapting compositional materials to different instrumentations; and expanding on (3) the guitar technique as well as; (4) the guitar’s inventory of extended techniques.

  • Thinking in Song
    THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Martin Kuester January 2012 © 2012 Martin Kuester THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany Martin Kuester, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Eighteenth-century music theorists habitually used terms that were apparently im- ported from grammar, rhetoric and poetics. While historians of music theory have commonly described these words as reflecting metaphorical attempts to understand music by analogy with language, this study emphasizes their technical value, especially with respect to vocal music, which includes both domains. In the case of Johann Mat- theson, Johann Adolph Scheibe, Joseph Riepel and Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg, the literal meaning of this common vocabulary can be recovered by viewing their general composition rules���������������������� in the previously une�amined������������ conte��������������������������������t of their theories for compos- ing te�t and music of vocal works. Chapter One questions the applicability of a ‘metaphor of music as a language’ to eighteenth-century musical thought and proposes a new framework, centered on what Scheibe and others considered �����������������������������������������������the origin of both music and language, prosody. Chapter Two e�amines Mattheson’s famous minuet analysis and concludes that a prosodic sub-discipline of music theory provided a vocabulary that applied, in ten- dency, to words and notes of vocal music, simultaneously. Chapter Three traces the interaction of prosodic parameters in the longer history of ‘musical feet,’ pointing out eighteenth-century theorists’ successful efforts to adapt or re-adapt their terminol- ogy to the practice of modern vocal composition.

Sometimes the nobleman forces his attentions on her, and other times she outwits him. Sebastian Antoine Busnois wrote a motet in honor of Ockeghem. One of the most important extant sources of Goliards chansons is the Carmina Burana. Italian music has always been known for its lyrical or melodic character, and this goes back to the 14th century in many respects. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Request a better price Seen a lower price for this product elsewhere? Of greater sophistication was the motet , which developed from the clausula genre of medieval plainchant. The clausula, thus practised, became the motet when troped with non-liturgical words, and this further developed into a form of great elaboration, sophistication and subtlety in the fourteenth century, the period of Ars nova. The earliest innovations upon monophonic plainchant were heterophonic. Its distinguishing factor is that the parts did not have to move only in parallel motion, but could also move in oblique, or contrary motion. Originally, the tenor line from the Latin tenere , "to hold" held a preexisting liturgical chant line in the original Latin, while the text of the one, two, or even three voices above, called the voces organales , provided commentary on the liturgical subject either in Latin or in the vernacular French.
