July 2011 © 2011 Beverley Laundry Abstract In this thesis we present the design and prototype implementation of a Digital Music Stand that focuses on fluid music layout management and free-form digital ink annotation. An analysis of user constraints and available technology lead us to select a 21.5‖ multi-touch monitor as the preferred input and display device. This comfortably displays two A4 pages of music side by side with space for a control panel. The analysis also identified single handed input as a viable choice for musicians. Finger input was chosen to avoid the need for any additional input equipment.

  • Waves of Refraction for Guitar and Tape
    Waves of Refraction for guitar and tape by Jon Christopher Nelson © 1992 Waves of Refraction (1992) for guitar and tape creates aural illusions which are analogous to the visual illusions of light waves refracted through water. Just as an object submerged in water appears slightly warped and unstable, the guitar refracted by the computer-generated tape sounds altered and mutable. At the beginning of the composition, the tape accurately replicates the guitar sounds. However, the tape quickly undergoes a metamorphosis, becoming more unusual and exploratory as the composition unfolds. The guitar also presents material that changes from nervous and disjunct figuration to more lyric lines. Waves of Refraction was commissioned by Carlos Molina, to whom the composition is dedicated. The computer-generated tape was produced in the Florida International University Electronic Music Studio. Notes for the performer: Chromatic alterations apply throughout the measure. The guitar part may be played with a certain amount of liberty. The fermatas and pauses are included to provide the performer with moments to wait for the tape cues (if waiting is necessary). In addition to the exceedingly fast finale and the percussive guitar punctuations throughout the score, there are five different musical styles juxtaposed in this work. These playing styles are marked with rehearsal markings A, B, C, D, and E. Although specific rhythms have been notated within the tempi provided in the score, it may be easier to simply have a rough idea of tempo for each of these styles. The music within the A sections should be fast and the rhythms should be played as accurately as possible.

You may also find it beneficial to keep this packet with you in case you need to refer to throughout the day. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the contents of this packet prior to beginning your adjudication responsibilities. Again, thank you for adjudicating this festival. In this packet you will find the following information: 1. 10 Points to Consider 2. Music Manual Highlights 3. Adjudicator Instructions 4. MSHSAA Music Festival Definition of Ratings 5.

Remarks should be made directly to the performer(s). 2. The Festival Experience Must Provide For Improvement: If improvement is to take place, it is imperative for the adjudicator to provide comments, suggestions and directions for a recommended course of action. “Great”, “Good”, “Fine Work”, etc. are nice comments to receive but provide the teacher or performer(s) with little direction for further work and study.
