  • Computational Modelling and Quantitative Analysis of Dynamics in Performed Music
    Computational Modelling and Quantitative Analysis of Dynamics in Performed Music Katerina Kosta PhD thesis School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Queen Mary University of London 2017 Abstract Musical dynamics|loudness and changes in loudness|forms one of the key aspects of ex- pressive music performance. Surprisingly this rather important research area has received little attention. A reason is the fact that while the concept of dynamics is related to signal amplitude, which is a low-level feature, the process of deriving perceived loudness from the signal is far from straightforward. This thesis advances the state of the art in the analysis of perceived loudness by modelling dynamic variations in expressive music performance and by studying the relation between dynamics in piano recordings and markings in the score. In particular, we show that dynamic changes: a) depend on the evolution of the performance and the local context of the piece; b) correspond to important score markings and music structures; and, c) can reflect wide divergences in performers' expressive strategies within and across pieces. In a preparatory stage, dynamic changes are obtained by linking existing music audio and score databases. All studies in this thesis are based on loudness levels extracted from 2000 recordings of 44 Mazurkas by Fr´ed´ericChopin. We propose a new method for efficiently aligning and annotating the data in score beat time representation, based on dynamic time warping applied to chroma features. Using the score-aligned recordings, we examine the relationship between loudness values and dynamic level categories. The research can be broadly categorised into two parts.

  • Four Distinctions for the Auditory ``Wastebasket'' of Timbre
    OPINION published: 04 October 2017 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01747 Four Distinctions for the Auditory “Wastebasket” of Timbre1 Kai Siedenburg 1, 2* and Stephen McAdams 1 1 Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology, Schulich School of Music, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada, 2 Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics, University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany Keywords: timbre perception, music cognition, psychoacoustics, conceptual framework, definitions 1. INTRODUCTION If there is one thing about timbre that researchers in psychoacoustics and music psychology agree on, it is the claim that it is a poorly understood auditory attribute. One facet of this commonplace conception is that it is not only the complexity of the subject matter that complicates research, but also that timbre is hard to define (cf., Krumhansl, 1989). Perhaps for lack of a better alternative, one can observe a curious habit in introductory sections of articles on timbre, namely to cite a definition from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and to elaborate on its shortcomings. For the sake of completeness (and tradition!) we recall: “Timbre. That attribute of auditory sensation which enables a listener to judge that two nonidentical sounds, similarly presented and having the same loudness and pitch, are dissimilar [sic]. NOTE-Timbre depends primarily upon the frequency spectrum, although it also depends upon the sound pressure and the temporal characteristics of the sound.” (ANSI, 1994, p. 35) One of the strongest criticisms of this conceptual framing was given by Bregman (1990), Edited by: commenting, Mari Tervaniemi, University of Helsinki, Finland “This is, of course, no definition at all.

Results: McNamara (Winter 2010 & Winter 2011) Students scored an average of 3.11 and 3.14 on the Key Signature Test. Hermann (Spring 2010 & Spring 2011) Most students scored at Level 3 or Level 4. Analysis and Action: McNamara (Winter 2010 & Winter 2011) In this assessment period I gave the test at the end of the winter quarters and did not integrate it into the rest of my testing procedures or evaluation methods, i.e. it was not included in the students’ final grade for the course. Instead, I used my own key signature tests as part of more comprehensive tests that I gave during the quarter. From now on I will make it a feature of my students’ tests. Not only will I make it count toward their final grade, but I will give an incentive of extra credit points for scoring well on this test.

  • COVID-19 Transmission Risks from Singing and Playing Wind Instruments – What We Know So
    SYNOPSIS 11/18/2020 COVID-19 Transmission from Singing and Playing Wind Instruments – What We Know So Far Introduction Public Health Ontario (PHO) is actively monitoring, reviewing and assessing relevant information related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). “What We Know So Far” documents provide a rapid review of the evidence related to a specific aspect or emerging issue related to COVID-19. Updates to our Latest Version In the latest version of COVID-19 Transmission from Singing and Playing Wind Instruments – What We Know So Far, we present results of an updated literature search and rapid review. The updated version provides additional evidence concerning potential COVID-19 transmission during singing and playing wind instruments, including the addition of 22 new articles. We identified 10 new studies on experimental transmission during singing or playing wind instruments; four additional articles reported observational studies on transmission during singing; and there were two reviews of transmission risks during performances. We identified six articles on transmission risks during performances from the grey literature. There have been no published reports on COVID-19 transmission from wind instruments. The findings from this updated rapid review do not change our previous assessment of COVID-19 transmission during singing and playing wind instruments. Key Findings Singing generates respiratory droplets and aerosols; however, the degree to which each of these particles contributes to COVID-19 transmission is unclear. The evidence supporting COVID-19 transmission during singing is limited to a small number of observational studies and experimental models. Thirteen of 1,548 (<1%) documented superspreading events have been associated with singing.

  • Rhythms of the World: Part 2 African Drumming
    KSKS45 OCR AoS3 Rhythms of the World, part 2: Africa, and Central and South America David Guinane is by David Guinane Head of Music at Beaumont School in St Albans, and a freelance writer on music education. He RHYTHMS OF THE WORLD: PART 2 is the co-author of the accredited study In the last resource on OCR’s Rhythms of the World area of study (September 2017), we looked at the Indian guide for the OCR Subcontinent the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. GCSE music course. In this resource, we’ll look at the remaining styles and traditions included in the area of study: African drumming Calypso from Trinidad and Tobago Brazilian samba Once again, this resource contains required knowledge as well as details of musical activities that will deepen students’ understanding of the traditions. AFRICAN DRUMMING Africa is an immense continent, with a rich and diverse cultural and musical history. Of the huge number of musical styles and traditions to come from Africa, this AoS focuses on drumming styles popular in sub-Saharan Africa. DRUMMING TRADITIONS IN AFRICA When the term ‘African drumming’ is used in schools, it often refers to the use of djembes (often found in school classrooms, too often simply gathering dust). Since Africa has such a diverse and complex history, it’s difficult to narrow down what music is played in which part of Africa, and where each tradition begins and develops. However, it’s important that students don’t think all African music is African drumming, so some specific examples can be useful.

  • Rebecca Prushinski Pecherek MUS 1000-01 1 October 2018
    Rebecca Prushinski Pecherek MUS 1000-01 1 October 2018 Concert Review Going into this concert, I initially wasn’t too excited. I’ve never thoroughly enjoyed an instrumental concert. The memories I have of band concerts include my mom forcing me to go to my sister’s high school band concerts, and listening to the Princeton High School band while waiting to go on for choir. When I witnessed these concerts, the songs always felt too long and didn’t excite me. Because of these experiences, I had a negative outlook on instrumental concerts, but the symphony orchestra was completely different. Right when I saw the large string section I knew it was going to be different than the high school band concerts I had previously experienced. The first section was titled “Hollywood Film Music” which I was excited for because I knew I would recognize most of the music. The first song performed was “Themes from 007” which was different music from the James Bond movies. I think this song was a good opener because it started out strong and engaged all parts of the orchestra right from the start. I like that there is a steadiness in the rhythm for a majority of the song in the percussion while the strings carry the melody. The changing dynamics during the different movements of the medley kept the listener engaged so the music didn’t seem as repetitive and stayed interesting the whole number. The second piece was “Goldfinger” which brought out a guest singer to sing along side the orchestra.
