  • Producing an a Cappella CD and Development of a Pitch Detection Program
    A Guide to Producing An A Cappella CD and Development of a Pitch Detection Program A Senior Project submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies By Jacob Ray Stringfellow Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies Department College of Engineering California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo Spring Quarter, 2012 Abstract An in-depth look at the steps required to produce a CD for an a cappella group. From what microphone and preamplifiers to use, to what steps to take during the editing, mixing, and mastering processes. Finished with a look at pitch detection algorithms and how they work, and a little bit of experimentation with my own algorithm and program. 1. Introduction We live in a world that is filled with music. This music comes in different varieties ranging from hip-hop and rap to country and classical. One genre of music that seems to be on the rise now a day is that of a cappella, or singing without instruments. With shows such as America’s Got Talent showcasing collegiate a cappella groups, and shows like the Sing Off that focus on a cappella singing, it seems that collegiate a cappella groups are reaching a peak in popularity. With a cappella groups being formed, and music being performed, there is also a rising demand to record their music. This presents an interesting challenge. Getting your a cappella group’s song recorded professionally can be costly, and on college student budgets it can be hard to afford. That being said, I suggest that there is a solution to this problem.

  • Leading Congregational Singing Song/Hymn Leading Is an Important
    Leading Congregational Singing LEADING AS A VOCALIST - Joyce Poley DEVELOPING A STYLE Song/hymn leading is an important skill that can make an enormous difference to the way a congregation sings. If the song leader is primarily a vocalist, there are a number of qualities that are important for success: having enthusiasm for singing; being able to establish a good rapport with the congregation; being comfortable with your own voice; having accurate pitch and a pleasing vocal quality; being excited about introducing new ideas and repertoire. These attributes will help ensure a good singing experience for both the leader and the congregation. Song/hymn leaders use a variety of approaches when leading the congregation, and no single approach or style is “right”. What is important is to develop a style that is unique to your own personality and comfort level. The following are some things to consider: • Energy & enthusiasm Probably nothing affects your success as a song leader as much as your own energy and enthusiasm. People respond to those who love what they do; enthusiasm truly is contagious. Those who already enjoy singing will simply become even more enthusiastic; those who are more reluctant, or feel they can’t sing, will want to be a part of all this positive energy. The more encouragement they get from the leader, the better they will sing. The better they sing, the more confident they become, and the more willing to try new things. Enjoy yourself and be at ease, and they will journey almost any distance with you into the music.

  • PMMS Josquin Des Prez Discography June 2021
    Josquin des Prez Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of Josquin des Prez (Josquin Lebloitte dit des Prez), who has been indexed as Josquin Desprez, Des Près, and Pres, adopts the format of the Du Fay discography previously posted on this website. It may be noted that at least three book titles since 2000 have named him simply “Josquin,” bypassing the spelling problem. Acknowledgment is due to Pierre-F. Roberge and Todd McComb for an exhaustive list of records containing Josquin’s music in www.medieval.org/emfaq. It incorporates listings from the work of Sydney Robinson Charles in Josquin des Prez: A Guide to Research (Garland Composer Resource Manuals, 1983) and Peter Urquhart in The Josquin Companion (ed. Richard Sherr, Oxford, 2000), which continued where Charles left off. The last two lists each included a title index. This work has also used the following publications already incorporated in the three cited discographies. The 78rpm and early LP eras were covered in discographic format by The Gramophone Shop Encyclopedia of Recorded Music (three editions, 1936, 1942, 1948) and The World’s Encyclopaedia of Recorded Music (three volumes, 1952, 1953, 1957). James Coover and Richard Colvig compiled Medieval and Renaissance Music on Long-Playing Records in two volumes (1964 and 1973), and Trevor Croucher compiled Early Music Discography from Plainsong to the Sons of Bach (Oryx Press, 1981). The Index to Record Reviews compiled by Kurtz Myers (G. K. Hall, 1978) provided useful information. Michael Gray’s classical-discography.org has furnished many details. David Fallows offered many valuable suggestions.

As well as recording and performing music by composers such as Pérotin, Dufay, Josquin and Bach the ensemble has been involved in the creation of a large number of new works. James PÉROTIN MacMillan, Heinz Holliger, Arvo Pärt, Steven Hartke and many other composers have written both large and the and small-scale pieces for them. The ensemble’s performances ARS frequently include collaborations with other musicians such as the saxophonist Jan Garbarek, violinist ANTIQUA Christoph Poppen, violist Kim Kashkashian and orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. John Potter’s contribution was crucial to getting the Hilliard Live project under way. John has since left to take up a post in the Music Department of York University.

    Mountain Sound: Norway’s Jazz Identity By © 2019 Ashley Hirt M.A., University of Idaho, 2011 B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology. __________________________ Chair: Dr. Roberta Freund Schwartz __________________________ Dr. Bryan Haaheim __________________________ Dr. Paul Laird __________________________ Dr. Sherrie Tucker __________________________ Dr. Ketty Wong-Cruz The dissertation committee for Ashley Hirt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: _____________________________ Chair: Date approved: ii Abstract Jazz musicians in Norway have cultivated a distinctive sound, driven by timbral markers and visual album aesthetics that are associated with the cold mountain valleys and fjords of their home country. This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization.
