Entro l'anno ci dovrebbe essere l'edizio- ne definitiva sia in formato pdf che cartaceo. L'edizione virtuale in pdf sarà sempre gratuita. Le prime 3 lettere (A, B, C) hanno una formattazione diversa dal resto del vocabolario e ci sono varie incongruenze soprattutto nell'abbreviazione delle materie dello scibile sia nelle prime 3 lettere che dopo, frutto di ripensamenti e varie stesure. Tali incongruenze saranno “sanate” nell'edizione definitiva (1.0). Potrebbero esserci al- tre versioni intermedie prima di quella definitiva. Per la traduzione dall'italiano al womese consiglio il vocabolario di Carlo Minnaja in rete ospitato a quest'indirizzo: http://www.swahili.it/glossword/index.php?a=index&d=2 L'uso di questo vocabolario va unito con le nozioni della “Piccola guida per la traduzione dall'esperanto al womese” che trovate nelle ultime 6 pagine di questo vocabolario e, da sola, ai seguenti indi- rizzi: http://it.womeze.org/Womeze_L003_Piccola_guida_da_eo_a_we.pdf http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/mikelo http://mikelogulhe.weebly.com/womese.html 5 6 I - In womese da ogni radice derivano più parole. L'ordine dei derivati è il seguente: 1) radice + desinenze (-e/-o/-a; -eze/-oze/-aze; -i; -ar) 2) radice + suffissi o 3) radice + radici 4) prefissi + radice 5) radici + radice + (eventualmente) suffissi Fra 2 radici uguali una con l'iniziale maiuscola ed una con l'iniziale minu- scola viene scritta per prima quella con l'iniziale minuscola. II - Quando non esiste un corrispondente italiano si sono utilizzati questi accorgimenti: 1) perifrasi italiana; 2) neologismo italiano; 3) nome latino; 4) nome inglese o in una lingua neolatina. L'accorgimento 1 e quello 2 sono stati usati anche assieme. III – Le traduzioni in italiano possono essere così scritte: 1) separate da una virgola; 2) separate da un punto e virgola; 3) separate da un punto e virgola e numerate; 4) separate da un punto e numerate. La scelta fra queste 4 possibilità è in base alla differenza di significato1 che è minima nel caso della virgola e massima nella 4° opzione. IV – Le parole composte da più radici si trovano sotto la radice principale (solitamente l'ultima). Alcuni nomi propri geografici formati da più parole legate col trattino si tro- vano sotto quello che è considerato l'elemento nominale principale (solita- mente il secondo). V – I neologismi sono tali rispetto all'esperanto (da cui il womese deriva): non avrebbe senso parlare di neologismi nel 1° vocabolario ufficiale di una nuova lingua. 1 O “distanza semantica”. 7 Fi-longiyes pri le fakes Abbreviazioni delle materie Aw Awde-kine Audiocinema2 Ba Bellarte Belle Arti Ba, dome Arkitekture Architettura Bie-logie Biologia Bi “ Yheneraleze “ Generale Bi, parte “ Anatomeze = Anatomie “ Anatomica = Anatomia Bi, wome “ Womeze = Medicine “ Umana = Medicina ed Kirurgie e Chirurgia Bi, animale “ Animaleze = Yoe-logie “ Animale = Zoologia Bi, plante “ Vegetaleze = Botanikie “ Vegetale = Botanica Bi, funge “ Fungeze = Funge-logie “ Fungina = Micologia Bi, tote “ Totaleze = Eko-logie “ Totale = Ecologia Bi, palea “ Fi-Noveze “ Antica = Palea-onte-logie = Paleontologia Bi, fizie Fizie-logie Fisiologia Bl Belle-liter(atori)e Belle Lettere Bl, poezie Poezie, termine poezieze Poesia, termine poetico Da Dancade Danza Ek Eko-nomikie (ed Finance) Economia (e Finanza) Ek, vare Komerce Commercio Fi File-zofie Filosofia Fo Fote-romanes Fotoromanzi ed Bilde-literatorie e Fumetti Fz Fizikie Fisica Ge Geo-grafie (Womeze) Geografia (Umana) Gf Geo-grafie (Fizikeze) Geografia (Fisica) Gf, astre Astre-nomie Astronomia Gf, geo Geo-logie Geologia Gf, GT Geo-dezie, Tope-grafie Geodesia, Topografia Gf, mare Mar-aferes “Cose” Marittime Gf, metee Metee-logie Meteorologia Ke Kemikie Chimica Ke, afere Mineralogie Mineralogia Ke, wome Farmacie Farmacia Ki Kine e Kartun-kine Cinema e Cinema d'animazione 2 Il cinema per la radio. 8 Kus Komun-uze-sence Senso Comune In Informadikie Informatica In, tele Telekomunikies Telecomunicazioni In, radie Radie-fonie Radiofonia Li Lingwistikie Linguistica (ed File-logie, (e Filologia, Grafemikie, Semiotikie) Grafemica, Semiotica) Li, fone Fonetikie Fonetica Li, alie Gramatikie Grammatica Ma Matematikie Matematica Ma, geo Geo-metrie Geometria Mi Milit-aferes Militaria, Cose Militari Mu Muzikie Musica Ne Neologisme pri Neologismo (non tecnico) tute-tagazhe Po Politikie (ed Jure) Politica (e Diritto) Ps Psike-logie Psicologia (ed Newre-logie, (e Neurologia, Ete-logie, Socie-logie, Etologia, Sociologia, Wome-SHeences3) Scienze Umane) Re Religies Religioni Re, Biblie Biblie Bibbia Re, eks Mite-logies Mitologie Re, Kristo Kristanesme Cristianesimo Re, okulte Okultisme, “SHeences” Occultismo, “Scienze” okulteze occulte Sp Sportes (ed Ludes) Sport (e Giochi) St Statistikie Statistica SH SHeences Scienze Te Teatre ed Figure-Teatre Teatro e Teatro di Figura Tk Teknikie Tecnica Tk, agre Agrikulture Agricoltura Tk, elektre Elektre, Elektre-teknikie Elettricità, Elettrotecnica Tk, fote Fote-grafie, Optikie Fotografia, Ottica Tk, konstrue Konstru-teknike Tecnica delle costruzioni Tk, libre Tipograf-arte, Libres Tipografia, Libri Tk, mashine Mexanikie, Mashines Meccanica, Macchine 3 O “Wome-logie” 9 Tk, nutre Eno-gastronomie Enogastronomia Tk, veste Teks-industries, Vestes Industrie tessili, Abbigliamento Tk, xorte Xortikulture Orticultura Tr Transportes Trasporti Tr, aere “ Aereze “Aerei, Tr, mare “ Mareze “ Marittimi, Tr, fere “ Terreze: Fer-vojes “ Terrestri: Ferrovie Tr, awte “ Terreze: Awte-mobiles “ Terrestri: Automobili Xi Xistorie Storia Xi, pre Pre-xistorie Preistoria Xi, arkea Arkea-logie Archeologia (ed Epi-grafie, (ed Epigrafia, Papire-logie, Papirologia, Numismatikie, eetmp) Numismatica, ecc.)

  • Guitar in Oxford Music Online
    Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Guitar article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/43006 Guitar (Fr. guitare; Ger. Gitarre; It. chitarra; Sp. guitarra; Port.viola; Brazilian Port. violão). A string instrument of the lute family, plucked or strummed, and normally with frets along the fingerboard. It is difficult to define precisely what features distinguish guitars from other members of the lute family, because the name ‘guitar’ has been applied to instruments exhibiting a wide variation in morphology and performing practice. The modern classical guitar has six strings, a wooden resonating chamber with incurved sidewalls and a flat back. Although its earlier history includes periods of neglect as far as art music is concerned, it has always been an instrument of popular appeal, and has become an internationally established concert instrument endowed with an increasing repertory. In the Hornbostel and Sachs classification system the guitar is a ‘composite chordophone’ of the lute type (seeLUTE, §1, andCHORDOPHONE). 1. Structure of the modern guitar. Fig.1 shows the parts of the modern classical guitar. In instruments of the highest quality these have traditionally been made of carefully selected woods: the back and sidewalls of Brazilian rosewood, the neck cedar and the fingerboard ebony; the face or table, acoustically the most important part of the instrument, is of spruce, selected for its resilience, resonance and grain (closeness of grain is considered important, and a good table will have a grain count about 5 or 6 per cm). The table and back are each composed of two symmetrical sections, as is the total circumference of the sidewalls.

BLUESMAN, GUITAR, AND MIGRATION A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies The University of Mississippi by YAEKO TAKADA August 2016 Copyright Yaeko Takada 2016 ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT This project examines how the bluesman, guitar, and migration have interacted with each other and brought about transformations to American popular music, based upon scholarly works, magazine articles, and the sound recordings of the prewar blues performers. In popular theory, the blues sprang out of the cotton fields and articulated the life experiences of the oppressed people in isolated areas, particularly the Jim Crow South. These are certainly truths of the blues. Also true is that the blues was a product of modernization in every way and a representation of the African American bluesman’s aspiring life. The bluesman’s mobile lifestyle was one way of his response to the changes of society. Chapters One and Two investigate the instruments of African American people past and present and closely look at the pathway of the guitar to become a bluesman’s choice of instrument.

  • A Blazaki, Music Teacher and Candidate Doctor in EKPA Faculty of Musical Studies, Department of Music Aesthetics
    KERTSOPOULOS AESTHETICS An article by Dionysia Blazaki, music teacher and candidate Doctor in EKPA Faculty of Musical Studies, Department of Music Aesthetics. Translation: Smaro Gregoriadou A A musicological approach on “Kertsopoulos Aesthetics” In examining the historical evolution of guitar as an instrument that constitutes an aesthetic object, we constantly encounter a dialectic relation between “form” and “content”. We observe that every period produces resonators in diverse shapes and materials, with various numbers of strings and several tunings, thus enabling a continuous interrelation between scholarly and folk tradition of the instrument. These successive alterations provide series of instruments quite particular in sound content, since their specific sound characteristics, namely range, intensity and timbre, differ significantly from instrument to instrument. The revival of such a dialectic interaction between “form” and “content” of guitar, proceeding in the centuries, together with the addition and adaptation of innovative contemporary elements, compose “Kertsopoulos Aesthetics”. Greek guitar soloist and composer Smaro Gregoriadou has concentrated on rebuilding the instrument’s long aesthetic experience and projects on an international scale the need for a re-definition of the instrument’s sound and technique. A re-definition that respects history and advances investigation, that exhibits artist’s individuality and contributes to the evolution of the instrument itself. All these ideas are incorporated into the word “reinventing”, which constitutes the nucleus of the art of Smaro Gregoriadou. REINVENTING GUITAR! B A historical survey based on instrument’s evolution in form and sound Chordophones like Sumerian lyre, Egyptian bow-harp, nefer etc, appear from 2000 B.C in Mesopotamia 2 and from 1500 B.C.

  • An Annotated Bibliography, by Meredith Alice Mccutcheon
    Meredith Alice McCutcheon. Guitar and Vihuela: an Annotated Bibliography. RILM Retrospectives No.3 (New York: Pendragon Press, 1985). xlv, 353pp. THE RECENT PROUFERATION OF RESEARCH concerning the guitar and vihuela has made it difficult for the serious perfonner and scholar to keep abreast of all the contributions and publications that have appeared across the globe. Meredith Alice McCutcheon's Guitar and Vihuela: an Annotated Bibliography addresses this need by providing a bibliography that is well conceived and admirably realized. She indicates that the purpose of her book is to "fill the need for an annotated reference tool for the study of the guitar and vihuela. It contains literature on composers~ performers~ theorists, music and ana1ysis~ iconography, and design and construction in both an historical context and in a technical one. In addition to literature on the six-string classic guitar~ literature on the Renaissance four-course guitar, the Renaissance and Baroque five-course guitar, the chitarra battente, the terz guitar, the seven-string Russian guitar, and the modem eight-string, ten-string, and microtonal guitars is included. Texts in Catalan, Danish, English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukranian languages are listed (p. xxvi):' She divides her introduction into three parts. The first provides a brief historical background of the vihuela and guitar and justifies placing them to­ gether in the same bibliography. The second section gives concise and extremely useful advice about locating and identifying vihuela and guitar music. This dis­ cussion is particularly commendable for it makes the bibliography accessible and useful to any serious guitarist, not just to those already immersed in musico­ logical research.

Generally, the strings on the left will be lower pitched than those on the right, but there are variations including the mountain dulcimer, where the higher melody strings precede their lower pitched counterparts. The note names are listed in scientific pitch notation as used by The Acoustical Society of Amer- ica. If you need know their Helmholtz equivalents we have a free downloadable/printable ver- sion with both systems and their piano keyboard positioning in Volume VI of our Music Workbook series. You’ll find this in the ‘Freebies’ section of FFM. When discussing the configuration of an instrument’s stringing arrangement, you’ll find they are often referred to by the number of strings or by the number of courses. A course is simply a series of strings tuned to the same note (albeit often an octave apart) to be fretted by one finger at the same time. To give an example of this, the mandolin has 8 strings or 4 courses of strings. Steel strings in particular give a ringing or jangly sound when they are arranged in double, triple or quad- ruple courses.

  • The Five-Course Guitar (It. Chitarra Spagnuola; Sp. Guitarra)
    The five-course guitar (It. chitarra spagnuola; Sp. guitarra). Iconographic sources confirm that five-course guitar-like instruments were in use from at least the end of the 15th century, especially in Italy. The Italian term ‘viola’ was applied to these as well as to instruments with six and seven courses. The terms ‘viola’ and ‘viola da mano’ (and their Spanish equivalent ‘vihuela’) were often used generally to mean instruments of this general type and shape; sometimes the small four-course instrument was also included. Fuenllana (f.IV), for example, wrote about the ‘vihuela de Quatro Ordenes, Que Dizen Guitarra’. He also printed the earliest known music for a five-course instrument (‘vihuela de cinco ordenes’), fantasies and vocal intabulations that require an instrument tuned to guitar intervals (starting from the fifth course; 4th–4th–major 3rd–4th), though he made no mention of specific pitches or stringing. Bermudo referred to a ‘guitarra de cinco ordenes’, saying that one could be made by adding to the four-course guitar a string a 4th above the existing first course (f.xxviiiv). He also described new and unusual tunings for it as well as for a ‘guitarra grande’ of six courses and for the four-course instrument. No music survives for any of these tunings. The previously described Dias guitar could be an example of Bermudo’s ‘guitarra de cinco ordenes’ (later Italian sources call this type of small instrument a ‘chitarriglia’). A French source, the drawings of Jacques Cellier (Recherches de plusieurs singularités, c1583–7; F-Pn fonds fr.9152), shows a four-course instrument (seven strings) with a tuning chart for a five-course instrument: g–c/c'–e–a–d' (octave stringing is shown only for the fourth course).
