  • The New Dictionary of Music and Musicians
    The New GROVE Dictionary of Music and Musicians EDITED BY Stanley Sadie 12 Meares - M utis London, 1980 376 Moda Harold Powers Mode (from Lat. modus: 'measure', 'standard'; 'manner', 'way'). A term in Western music theory with three main applications, all connected with the above meanings of modus: the relationship between the note values longa and brevis in late medieval notation; interval, in early medieval theory; most significantly, a concept involving scale type and melody type. The term 'mode' has always been used to designate classes of melodies, and in this century to designate certain kinds of norm or model for composition or improvisation as well. Certain pheno­ mena in folksong and in non-Western music are related to this last meaning, and are discussed below in §§IV and V. The word is also used in acoustical parlance to denote a particular pattern of vibrations in which a system can oscillate in a stable way; see SOUND, §5. I. The term. II. Medieval modal theory. III. Modal theo­ ries and polyphonic music. IV. Modal scales and folk­ song melodies. V. Mode as a musicological concept. I. The term I. Mensural notation. 2. Interval. 3. Scale or melody type. I. MENSURAL NOTATION. In this context the term 'mode' has two applications. First, it refers in general to the proportional durational relationship between brevis and /onga: the modus is perfectus (sometimes major) when the relationship is 3: l, imperfectus (sometimes minor) when it is 2 : I. (The attributives major and minor are more properly used with modus to distinguish the rela­ tion of /onga to maxima from the relation of brevis to longa, respectively.) In the earliest stages of mensural notation, the so­ called Franconian notation, 'modus' designated one of five to seven fixed arrangements of longs and breves in particular rhythms, called by scholars rhythmic modes.

Preface Preface The intersections of science and law occur from crime scene to crime lab to criminal prosecution and defense. Although detectives, forensic scientists, and attorneys may have different vocabularies and perspectives, from a cognitive perspective, they share a way of thinking that is essential to scientific knowledge. A good detective, a well-trained forensic analyst, and a seasoned attorney all exhibit “what-if” thinking. This kind of thinking in hypotheticals keeps a detective open-minded: it prevents a detective from ignoring or not collecting data that may result in exculpatory evidence.

  • Thinking in Song
    THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Martin Kuester January 2012 © 2012 Martin Kuester THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany Martin Kuester, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Eighteenth-century music theorists habitually used terms that were apparently im- ported from grammar, rhetoric and poetics. While historians of music theory have commonly described these words as reflecting metaphorical attempts to understand music by analogy with language, this study emphasizes their technical value, especially with respect to vocal music, which includes both domains. In the case of Johann Mat- theson, Johann Adolph Scheibe, Joseph Riepel and Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg, the literal meaning of this common vocabulary can be recovered by viewing their general composition rules���������������������� in the previously une�amined������������ conte��������������������������������t of their theories for compos- ing te�t and music of vocal works. Chapter One questions the applicability of a ‘metaphor of music as a language’ to eighteenth-century musical thought and proposes a new framework, centered on what Scheibe and others considered �����������������������������������������������the origin of both music and language, prosody. Chapter Two e�amines Mattheson’s famous minuet analysis and concludes that a prosodic sub-discipline of music theory provided a vocabulary that applied, in ten- dency, to words and notes of vocal music, simultaneously. Chapter Three traces the interaction of prosodic parameters in the longer history of ‘musical feet,’ pointing out eighteenth-century theorists’ successful efforts to adapt or re-adapt their terminol- ogy to the practice of modern vocal composition.

Magis rythmus quam metron : the structure of Seneca's anapaests, and the oral/aural nature of Latin poetry 1 Lieven Danckaert, Ghent University Abstract The aim of this contribution is twofold. The empirical focus is the metrical structure of Seneca's anapaestic odes. On the basis of a detailed formal analysis, in which special attention is paid to the delimitation and internal structure of metrical periods, I argue against the dimeter colometry traditionally assumed. This conclusion in turn is based on a second, more methodological claim, namely that in establishing the colometry of an ancient piece of poetry, the modern metrician is only allowed to set apart a given string of metrical elements as a separate metron, colon or period, if this postulated metrical entity could 'aurally' be distinguished as such by the hearer.

  • An Atonal Melody Generator for Ear Training, Based on Lars Edlund´S Modus Novus Methodology
    ModusXXI: An Atonal Melody Generator for Ear Training, Based on Lars Edlund´S Modus Novus Methodology A. Meave*1, F. Orduña2 1 Escuela Nacional de Música, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Xicoténcatl 126, Col. Del Carmen Coyoacán, C.P. 04100, México D.F., México. *[email protected] 2 Centro de Ciencias Aplicadas y Desarrollo Tecnológico, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Circuito Exterior S/N, Ciudad Universitaria, A.P. 70-186, Delegación Coyoacán, C.P. 04510, México D.F., México. ABSTRACT This paper describes the development, evaluation and use of the computer program ModusXXI, a music generator that can create a practically unlimited number of atonal melodic dictations, or melodic material for sight-reading, based on the Modus Novus methodology [Edlund, 1963]. Lars Edlund’s Modus Novus organizes the aural study of atonal melody structure on the combinations of intervals that will break the bonds with any tonal context; a characteristic of some music composed since the first half of the 20th century. Each chapter has certain melodic material that has been grouped together, according to the musical intervals that they contain, in groups of increasing degree of difficulty. Although there are other atonal ear-training methods [Friedmann, 1990], Modus Novus is the only one known to us that concentrates specifically on the study of the melodic interval structure of atonal music. At present, several systems are available, or have been proposed, that generate music with computers. Nevertheless, none of these organizes the melodic structure upon specific atonal intervallic content. ModusXXI is a computer application with an easy-to-use graphic user interface, that runs on systems that support the Java Virtual Machine [www.java.com].
