  • Articulation from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Articulation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Examples of Articulations: staccato, staccatissimo,martellato, marcato, tenuto. In music, articulation refers to the musical performance technique that affects the transition or continuity on a single note, or between multiple notes or sounds. Types of articulations There are many types of articulation, each with a different effect on how the note is played. In music notation articulation marks include the slur, phrase mark, staccato, staccatissimo, accent, sforzando, rinforzando, and legato. A different symbol, placed above or below the note (depending on its position on the staff), represents each articulation. Tenuto Hold the note in question its full length (or longer, with slight rubato), or play the note slightly louder. Marcato Indicates a short note, long chord, or medium passage to be played louder or more forcefully than surrounding music. Staccato Signifies a note of shortened duration Legato Indicates musical notes are to be played or sung smoothly and connected. Martelato Hammered or strongly marked Compound articulations[edit] Occasionally, articulations can be combined to create stylistically or technically correct sounds. For example, when staccato marks are combined with a slur, the result is portato, also known as articulated legato. Tenuto markings under a slur are called (for bowed strings) hook bows. This name is also less commonly applied to staccato or martellato (martelé) markings. Apagados (from the Spanish verb apagar, "to mute") refers to notes that are played dampened or "muted," without sustain. The term is written above or below the notes with a dotted or dashed line drawn to the end of the group of notes that are to be played dampened.

  • Glissando Harp Manual
    C A Glissando Harps Manual v 2.0 rev 2.0.0 - Nov. 12th, 2018 Welcome Thank you very much for purchasing Glissando Harps for Kontakt! We hope you’ll make the best out of these carefully crafted Virtual Instruments. A Few Words on the Sounds of Glissando Harps The two harps making up Glissando Harps, Concert and Orchestral, were sampled in two very different venues, with different instruments, players, microphone and preamp setups. This was done on purpose. To put in your hands two complementary instruments, allowing for the best sound to fit many different composing scenarios. For Concert Harp we chose a small live room. For this reason when we set up for the next chapter, Glissando Orchestral Harp, we chose a studio, Sotto Il Mare Recording Studios (near Verona in Italy), famous for their wonderful analog equipment and a resounding live room. This setup allowed us to capture more microphone perspectives than we had for Glissando Concert Harp. So, to sum up: Glissando Harps Glissando Concert Harp Small recording venue, best fit for intimate or in-your-face kind of parts; also good for characterization with additional reverbs and Efx. Three microphone channels: an AB stereo setup with a Schoeps CMC64 matched pair and a Mid-Side setup with Neumann M140 as mid and Royer R121 as side. Glissando Orchestral Harp Large recording venue, perfect when you need to position the harp in an orchestral scenario, both as accompanist and as a soloist. Eight microphone channels, combined in five “movie-city-named” nki instruments. An LCR (wide AB + central mono) with Schopes CMC64 and Soundelux U195, the mono Soundelux U195 by itself, another wide AB with ribbon AEA N22 matched pair.

When you compose a piece of music, you use the of music is a big pot elements of music to build it, just like a builder uses bricks to build a house. If of different spices. the piece of music is to sound right, then you have to use the elements of It’s a soup with all kinds of ingredients music correctly. in it.” - Abigail Washburn What are the Elements of Music? PITCH means the highness or lowness of the sound. Some pieces need high sounds and some need low, deep sounds. Some have sounds that are in the middle. Most pieces use a mixture of pitches. TEMPO means the fastness or slowness of the music. Sometimes this is called the speed or pace of the music. A piece might be at a moderate tempo, or even change its tempo part-way through. DYNAMICS means the loudness or softness of the music. Sometimes this is called the volume. Music often changes volume gradually, and goes from loud to soft or soft to loud. Questions to think about: 1. Think about your DURATION means the length of each sound. Some sounds or notes are long, favourite piece of some are short. Sometimes composers combine long sounds with short music – it could be a song or a piece of sounds to get a good effect. instrumental music. How have the TEXTURE – if all the instruments are playing at once, the texture is thick.

The cello has a wondrously broad spectrum of sonic possibility, yet must be approached in a different way than other string instruments, owing to its construction, playing orientation, and physical mass. Throughout the history of the cello, many resources regarding the core technique of the cello have been published; this book makes no attempt to expand on those sources. Divers resources are also available regarding the cello’s role in orchestration; these books, however, revolve mostly around the use of the instrument as part of a sonically traditional sensibility. The techniques discussed in this book, rather, are the so-called “extended” techniques; those that are comparatively rare in music of the common practice, and usually not involved within the elemental skills of cello playing, save as fringe oddities or practice techniques.

Every new sign, sonority, color, timbre... experience in reading and playing becomes additional material. With (almost) each new piece, there will be new additions, especially to the segment “Notation: see me-hear me-make me”. It is, as well, very likely that new chapters will arise, both on left and right hand technique, as well as marks on other sonority and timbre remarks.

  • Pitch Bending and Glissandi on the Clarinet: Roles of the Vocal Tract and Partial Tone Hole Closure
    Pitch bending and glissandi on the clarinet: Roles of the vocal tract and partial tone hole closure ͒ Jer-Ming Chen,a John Smith, and Joe Wolfe School of Physics, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia ͑Received 9 March 2009; revised 15 June 2009; accepted 17 June 2009͒ Clarinettists combine non-standard fingerings with particular vocal tract configurations to achieve pitch bending, i.e., sounding pitches that can deviate substantially from those of standard fingerings. Impedance spectra were measured in the mouth of expert clarinettists while they played normally and during pitch bending, using a measurement head incorporated within a functioning clarinet mouthpiece. These were compared with the input impedance spectra of the clarinet for the fingerings used. Partially uncovering a tone hole by sliding a finger raises the frequency of clarinet impedance peaks, thereby allowing smooth increases in sounding pitch over some of the range. To bend notes in the second register and higher, however, clarinettists produce vocal tract resonances whose impedance maxima have magnitudes comparable with those of the bore resonance, which then may influence or determine the sounding frequency. It is much easier to bend notes down than up because of the phase relations of the bore and tract resonances, and the compliance of the reed. Expert clarinettists performed the glissando opening of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Here, players coordinate the two effects: They slide their fingers gradually over open tone holes, while simultaneously adjusting a strong vocal tract resonance to the desired pitch. © 2009 Acoustical Society of America. ͓DOI: 10.1121/1.3177269͔ PACS number͑s͒: 43.75.Pq, 43.75.St ͓NHF͔ Pages: 1511–1520 I.

From the profound pain of the praying mother to the (very serious!) barking of a dog that wants to go out; from a deep discomfort to the "electric bill complaining". A clash of contrasting meanings and atmospheres. The music is fragmented, theatrical and minimalistic at times, the panels are bonded by the silence. The musical breathing changes very sharply between powerful ensemble passages, and the loneliness of the solo violin. Dramatic cadenzas dissolve into static moments where melodies emerge. The music material echoes in different places throughout the piece.
