Maybe you thought this would be an easy class. What you may not have realized is that there are no easy subjects. You obviously wanted to learn more about music but really had no idea what you were getting yourself into. My job is to introduce you to the principles and concepts of a subject that has its own history and technology going back hundreds of years. Now is a really good time to ask yourself what you wanted to know about music when you signed up for this adventure. I can assure you that every time I prepare for this course, which I first taught in 1964, I ask myself what is it that I really want my students to get from these fifteen weeks together. Each time I ask that question I get a different set of answers, so this semester you will benefit from my most recent introspection. My intention is to help you become curious critical thinkers. I also hope to excite you about music and its relationship to all the areas of human invention and investigation. It is the interrelatedness of all things and all people that fascinates me. In the brief time we have together I hope we can learn a thing or two about each other, and about the vast universe we inhabit. Your college education may appear to be segmented into separate subject areas taught in separate buildings, but it is the wise student who realizes that this is all one campus and the search for truth and beauty goes on in every classroom, studio, and laboratory. There are so many ways to talk about music and each of them has value. No matter which path I choose, I know one thing – I cannot really teach you anything. All I can do is invite you to learn. You and I have a good shot at success if the course designed by me has merit and you are willing to do a lot of hard work and investigation on your own. Learning takes place when you integrate what I share with you in class with what you discover for yourself elsewhere. I am your intellectual caterer. I will prepare a buffet of fascinating materials and challenges for you and invite you to partake in the feast. You need to grab a plate, come up to the buffet, and partake of what I offer. Fill your plate and return to your seat and enjoy the intellectual victuals. Look at what is on your plate, assess it, smell it, taste it, chew on it, and swallow. All this is, hopefully, a pleasurable activity. Of course, you also have the option of fasting. The choice is yours. I have compiled this textbook for your delight and edification. Read it as if you had paid a king’s ransom for it. It is advisable to take notes on items that seem important enough to show up on the next test. In the best of all possible worlds you would be inspired by what you have read to come to class and engage me in conversation about things that intrigued you. Make sure you stay ahead of the reading schedule in your syllabus. There may be items you want to read a second time to solidify your knowledge. You are responsible for the contents of this volume. You will be tested on your reading comprehension and your ability to properly process subjects covered in class. You are a professional student and will earn the grade that I record for you at the end of the semester. We are partners in this endeavor. The study of music can help us better appreciate what it means to be human. It can even help us learn more about ourselves, a process of self-discovery that takes a lifetime. Let us fill it with good music and the joy of learning. There are vast numbers of gorgeous soundscapes waiting for you to discover them. This class will, hopefully, point you in the right direction and provide you with a proper foundation for further discovery. The hardest part of this class is getting your head out of your cell phone, following directions, and meeting deadlines. While you are at it, make a friend. Dr. Jablonsky Addendum: As you go through life you are either connecting or disconnecting from people you know. Occasionally a rift develops between us, especially when information needs to be shared. I have had students who were in trouble and, when I wrote to them, they never responded. I had one student who still owed me two papers after the final exam and so I wrote to her asking for her plan. Three days later, at 1:15 in the morning, the papers arrived in my email but the grades had already been posted at 8PM. If she had written to me in a timely fashion, I could have waited, but there was a major disconnect between us. Hopefully, a byproduct of your years at CCNY will be your ability to communicate efficiently and effectively, both verbally and in writing. Get connected! Stay connected! The Great Hall at CCNY How To Use a Textbook It is entirely possible that no one ever told you how to use a textbook. A textbook is different from a novel. When you read a novel you start on page one and go to the end. Because you want to enjoy the literary trip you do not peek at the last page. When you acquire a textbook you do not read it, you study it. You begin by previewing it by checking the table of contents, preface, and introduction.

  • A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System
    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.

How do composers and other artists create new work? Our Call & Response program was born out of the Cypress String Quartet’s commitment to sharing with you and your community this process in music and all kinds of other artwork. We present newly created music based on earlier composed pieces. Why “Call & Response”? We usually associate the term “call & response” with jazz and gospel music, the idea being that the musician plays a musical “call” to which another musician “responds,”—a way of creating a new sound relating in some way to the original. In this program, the “call” is that of Cypress String Quartet searching for connections across musical, historical, and social boundaries.

  • John Cage's Entanglement with the Ideas Of
    JOHN CAGE’S ENTANGLEMENT WITH THE IDEAS OF COOMARASWAMY Edward James Crooks PhD University of York Music July 2011 John Cage’s Entanglement with the Ideas of Coomaraswamy by Edward Crooks Abstract The American composer John Cage was famous for the expansiveness of his thought. In particular, his borrowings from ‘Oriental philosophy’ have directed the critical and popular reception of his works. But what is the reality of such claims? In the twenty years since his death, Cage scholars have started to discover the significant gap between Cage’s presentation of theories he claimed he borrowed from India, China, and Japan, and the presentation of the same theories in the sources he referenced. The present study delves into the circumstances and contexts of Cage’s Asian influences, specifically as related to Cage’s borrowings from the British-Ceylonese art historian and metaphysician Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. In addition, Cage’s friendship with the Jungian mythologist Joseph Campbell is detailed, as are Cage’s borrowings from the theories of Jung. Particular attention is paid to the conservative ideology integral to the theories of all three thinkers. After a new analysis of the life and work of Coomaraswamy, the investigation focuses on the metaphysics of Coomaraswamy’s philosophy of art. The phrase ‘art is the imitation of nature in her manner of operation’ opens the doors to a wide- ranging exploration of the mimesis of intelligible and sensible forms. Comparing Coomaraswamy’s ‘Traditional’ idealism to Cage’s radical epistemological realism demonstrates the extent of the lack of congruity between the two thinkers. In a second chapter on Coomaraswamy, the extent of the differences between Cage and Coomaraswamy are revealed through investigating their differing approaches to rasa , the Renaissance, tradition, ‘art and life’, and museums.

  • Scambi Fushi Tarazu: a Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 4 January 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202001.0026.v1 Scambi fushi tarazu: A Musical Representation of a Drosophila Gene Expression Pattern Derek Gatherer Division of Biomedical & Life Sciences Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YW, UK [email protected] Abstract: The term Bio-Art has entered common usage to describe the interaction between the arts and the biological sciences. Although Bio-Art implies that Bio-Music would be one of its obvious sub- disciplines, the latter term has been much less frequently used. Nevertheless, there has been no shortage of projects that have brought together music and the biological sciences. Most of these projects have allowed the biological data to dictate to a large extent the sound produced, for instance the translation of genome or protein sequences into musical phrases, and therefore may be regarded as process compositions. Here I describe a Bio-Music process composition that derives its biological input from a visual representation of the expression pattern of the gene fushi tarazu in the Drosophila embryo. An equivalent pattern is constructed from the Scambi portfolio of short electronic music fragments created by Henri Pousseur in the 1950s. This general form of the resulting electronic composition follows that of the fushi tarazu pattern, while satisfying the rules of the Scambi compositional framework devised by Pousseur. The range and flexibility of Scambi make it ideally suited to other Bio-Music projects wherever there is a requirement, or desire, to build larger sonic structures from small units. Keywords: Scambi; fushi tarazu; Drosophila; BioArt; BioMusic; Music; process composition 1 © 2020 by the author(s).
