  • Real-Time Composition As a Strategy for the 21St Century Composer
    Escola Superior de Música e das Artes do Espectáculo Real-Time Composition as a Strategy for the 21st Century Composer Óscar Rodrigues A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Composition and Music Theory supervised by Prof. Dimitris Andrikopoulos September 27, 2016 Abstract Real-Time Composition, despite being a term commonly used in computer music and free improvisation circles, is also one whose definition is not clear. This dissertation aims to, in seeking and attempting its conceptualisation, permit a deeper look at the core of the activity of western classical music making. By discussing the concepts and current views on composition, improvisation, musical work, interpretation and performance, we will propose a working definition that will later serve as a model for music making; one that involves both the composer and performers, influenced by their context, as creators. This model borrows heavily from Walter Thompson’s Soundpainting technique. We will then analyse the outcome of three different concerts, of increasing complexity and level of control, that resulted from the previous discussion and end by concluding that Real-Time Composition is, in fact, fundamentally different from improvisation, and an extension of western classical music practice. Keywords: real-time composition, improvisation, soundpainting Abstract A Composição em Tempo Real, apesar de ser um termo regularmente utilizado nos cír- culos da música electrónica e da improvisação livre, não tem uma definição clara. Esta dissertação tem como objectivo, ao procurar a sua conceptualização, perceber de forma mais profunda o núcleo da actividade produtiva da música clássica ocidental. Ao discutir os con- ceitos e entendimentos correntes de composição, improvisação, obra musical, interpretação e performance, será proposta uma definição operacional que irá posteriormente servir como modelo para a criação musical; este modelo envolve tanto compositores como intérpretes, influenciados pelo seu contexto, enquanto criadores.

  • Renaissance Terms
    Renaissance Terms Cantus firmus: ("Fixed song") The process of using a pre-existing tune as the structural basis for a new polyphonic composition. Choralis Constantinus: A collection of over 350 polyphonic motets (using Gregorian chant as the cantus firmus) written by the German composer Heinrich Isaac and his pupil Ludwig Senfl. Contenance angloise: ("The English sound") A term for the style or quality of music that writers on the continent associated with the works of John Dunstable (mostly triadic harmony, which sounded quite different than late Medieval music). Counterpoint: Combining two or more independent melodies to make an intricate polyphonic texture. Fauxbourdon: A musical texture prevalent in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, produced by three voices in mostly parallel motion first-inversion triads. Only two of the three voices were notated (the chant/cantus firmus, and a voice a sixth below); the third voice was "realized" by a singer a 4th below the chant. Glogauer Liederbuch: This German part-book from the 1470s is a collection of 3-part instrumental arrangements of popular French songs (chanson). Homophonic: A polyphonic musical texture in which all the voices move together in note-for-note chordal fashion, and when there is a text it is rendered at the same time in all voices. Imitation: A polyphonic musical texture in which a melodic idea is freely or strictly echoed by successive voices. A section of freer echoing in this manner if often referred to as a "point of imitation"; Strict imitation is called "canon." Musica Reservata: This term applies to High/Late Renaissance composers who "suited the music to the meaning of the words, expressing the power of each affection." Musica Transalpina: ("Music across the Alps") A printed anthology of Italian popular music translated into English and published in England in 1588.

  • “By Ear and in the Memory:” Vernacular Music Processes And
    “By Ear and In the Memory:” Vernacular Music Processes and the Pedagogy of Medieval Music For many years, the teaching of western music history relied upon an evolutionary paradigm in which medieval music—actually over seven hundred years of diverse repertoire—was relegated to a role analogous to the proverbial one-celled organism from which subsequent life-forms arose. In truth, a great deal of the earliest western music is no less musically and rhetorically sophisticated than later music; nor is it characterized by one homogeneous style whose trajectory leads directly to the Common Practice period. A study of the processes, procedures, and transmission of many medieval music repertoires will reveal more commonality with vernacular musics than with the “classical” music of later eras: aural acquisition and retention in the memory, oral transmission from one musician to another, reliance on the agency of the performer rather than on the composer for its content, and evidence of improvisation, variation, and invention on the part of the performer. As musicology continues to move away from an evolutionary paradigm of music history to an approach more attuned to context and process, I propose that those of us who are scholars and performers of medieval music need to change the way medieval music is understood within the continuum of western music history, and to create new paradigms for teaching it, in both the classroom and the ensemble rehearsal studio. Medieval music is not “primitive” Several decades ago, I and about a dozen of my Indiana University Early Music Institute colleagues were sent to a small Catholic college in northern Indiana to provide historically informed musical presentations as context for a music history lecture.

  • Uncovering a Diverse Early Music1
    Uncovering a Diverse Early Music1 Alice V. Clark he “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in August 2017 became a call to action for medievalists across the United States to find new and more explicit ways to reject racism and white supremacy. While pseu- Tdo-medieval symbols had long been used by white supremacists, social media exploded with images of participants in Charlottesville wielding, for instance, shields bearing a black eagle, associated with the Holy Roman Empire and used in Germany through the Nazi era to the present day.2 The Medieval Academy of America, along with 29 other organizations, responded with a statement a few days after the rally, which read in part: 1. This conversation has been growing in volume for a while now—long enough that I can’t always pinpoint where I first found out about some of the material I include here. Discussions at the virtual Teaching Music History Conference and continuing on the AMS Pedagogy Study Group Facebook group have been invaluable, and bibliographies and resource lists have been circulated more and more, most notably the new Inclusive Early Music site (https://inclusivee- arlymusic.org/), which will be a tremendous benefit to all of us going forward. Individuals who have been particularly influential and helpful to me include Karen Cook, Andrew Dell’Antonio, Daniel DiCenso, Gillian Gower, Jeannette DiBernardo Jones, Rebecca Maloy, Luisa Nardini, Laurie Stras, Jennifer Thomas, and Elizabeth Randell Upton; I apologize to anyone I may have neglected to include here. Earlier versions of this essay were presented at the annual meeting of the Southern Chapter of the American Musicological Society (Tallahassee, February 15, 2020) and the vir- tual Teaching Music History Conference (June 2020).

From early ritual dances to modern Hip Hop and Jazz, dance music has been part of the foundation for musical art in world history and the key to unlocking information concerning societal atmospheres throughout history. With each age and progression of music came new genres, instruments and social beliefs that were woven through religious and secular culture, each of which impacted the production of dance throughout the centuries. Therefore, the art of music has seen much diversity and change throughout history, causing each individual dance genre to be created and shaped into a product fitting for the time.
