INTRODUCTION The purpose of this thesis is to review and formulate the history and information concerning bells and campaniles which will aid in the designing of a campanile suitable for Kansas State College. It is hoped that the showing of a design for such a structure with the accompanying model will further stimulate the interest of both students, faculty members, and others in the ultimate completion of such a project. The design for such a tower began about two years ago when the senior Architectural Design Class, of which I was a member, was given a problem of designing a campanile for the campus. The problem was of great interest to me and became more so when I learned that the problem had been given to the class with the thought in mind that some day a campanile would be built.

  • Acoustical Properties of Ancient Chinese Musical Bells
    Proceedings of ACOUSTICS 2009 23-25 November 2009, Adelaide, Australia Acoustical properties of ancient Chinese musical bells Jie Pan School of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Western Australia, WA, Australia ABSTRACT Ancient Chinese music bells can be traced back to the Shang dynasty (1600–1100 B.C.). In addition to their significance in history and metallurgy, they provide much insight into the design of musical instruments in the early years and continue to make important contribution to acoustics due to their unique acoustical properties and rich physical mechanisms. These mu- sic bells differ from carillon/church bells and oriental temple bells by their almond-shaped cross sections, which result in two distinct strike tones (normal and side) in one bell. Through the analyse of the resonance frequencies of 64 music bells cast 2400 years ago, frequency relations are rediscovered between the normal and side-strike tones in individual bells and be- tween the normal-strike tones of adjacent bells. Acoustical qualities of each strike tone are characterised using frequency ratios between the partials and fundamental, as well as the spectrogram of the tone. The study on the scaling rules for achiev- ing the required frequency intervals between adjacent bells also sheds light on our understanding of music scales and sound balance principles in bell acoustics already recognized in ancient times. INTRODUCTION Previous studies in the acoustics of ancient Chinese music bells were mainly focused on the two-tone [1] and short- I1.1 K1.1 K1.7 I1.6 J1.6 . decay properties [2] of individual bells and their dependence J1.1 K2.10 on the nature of the bell’s modal vibration and sound radia- K2.1 tion.

  • FM Synthesis VI, a Virtual Carillon Bell Multiple Sets 'Simple FM'
    FM Synthesis VI, a virtual carillon bell multiple sets 'simple FM' An addition of multiple sets 'simple FM' offers the greatest freedom to design the overtones in a sound. We are going to discover this on the basis of a sound simulation of a carillon bell. overtone characteristics of the bell sound One of the first bell sound simulations with FM was the 'tubular bell' preset from the Yamaha DX7. This sound can be reduced to a set of 'simple FM' c : m ratio 1 : 3.5. According to the 'summation trick' (see FM Synthesis II) this yields the following side bands or overtones. (1+3.5=) 4.5 (+3.5=) 8 (+3.5=) 11.5 (+3.5=) 15 (+3.5=) 18.5 (+3.5=) 22 1 (|1-3.5|=) 2.5 (+3.5=) 6 (+3.5=) 9.5 (+3.5=) 13 (+3.5=) 16.5 (+3.5=) 20 all partials put in order: 1 2.5 4.5 6 8 9.5 11.5 13 15 16.5 18.5 20 A spectrum with a mixture of harmonic partials (the integer frequency ratios) and the inharmonic partial frequencies, the partials with decimal numbers. From psycho-acoustics we know that harmonic overtones tend to fuse into an integer pitch sensation, fusion named. The smaller the integer numbers the greater the fusion. In this example, the harmonics in the spectrum, 1, 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22 do not form a real stable fusion into one integer timbre. This ambiguous timbre is due to the fact that the harmonic partials do not form a compact series, but rather form a non-compact series with consideral gaps.

  • New Technology in Multi-Sensory Public
    MULTI-SENSORY SITES OF EXPERIENCE: PUBLIC ART PRACTICE IN A SECULAR SOCIETY SUBMITTED IN FULL FULFILLMENT REQUIRED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FACULTY OF THE CONSTRUCTED ENVIRONMENT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN RMIT UNIVERSITY Anton Glenn Hasell B. Ec, Dip. Ed, B.F.A, P-G Dip F.A, M.F.A September 2002 1 Abstract Western secular societies have come to celebrate the individual within his or her community. Secular society has been shaped to fit the maximum freedoms and rights that are compatible within the compromise that communal life impose upon its members. Earlier communities in both Europe and Asia were bounded by religious practices that privileged the communal perspective over that of the individual. Rituals brought people together and the places in which these rituals were enacted, the temples and cathedrals so central to communal life, were places of complex and powerful multi-sensory experience. It is within such stimulating experience that people recognize themselves as vibrant parts to a greater whole. Artists who work in public-space commissioned works, such as myself, are repeatedly invited to create works of art that signify and celebrate the forms and images that bring the community together. Such communal-building work attempts to countervail the drive to ever greater individual freedoms in secular society. Artists are placed in a difficult position. The most recent developments in computer technology have been used to re-invent the bell. The reinvented bell has become a fundamental element in new bell-sculpture installation works. This thesis develops a context for the use of bells in contemporary public-space design.

  • Perception of Harmonic and Inharmonic Sounds: Results from Ear Models
    Perception of Harmonic and Inharmonic Sounds: Results from Ear Models Albrecht Schneider and Klaus Frieler Institute for Musicology, University of Hamburg, Germany, {aschneid, klaus.frieler}@uni-hamburg.de Abstract. We report on experiments in which musically relevant har- monic and inharmonic sounds have been fed into computer-based ear models (or into modules which at least simulate parts of the periph- eral auditory system) working either in the frequency or in the time domain. For a major chord in just intonation, all algorithms produced reliable and interpretable output, which explains mechanisms of pitch perception. One model also yields data suited to demonstrate how sen- sory consonance and ’fusion’ are contained in the ACF of the neural activity pattern. With musical sounds from instruments (carillon, gamelan) which repre- sent different degrees of inharmonicity, the performance of the modules reflects difficulties in finding correct spectral and/or virtual pitch(es) known also from behavioral experiments. Our measurements corrobo- rate findings from neurophysiology according to which much of the neu- ral processing relevant for perception of pitch and consonance is achieved subcortically. 1 Introduction During the past decades, a vast amount of research in sensation and perception of sounds has been undertaken in both sensory physiology and psychophysics, respectively (e.g., Popper & Fay 1992, Ehret & Romand 1997, Terhardt 1998, Zwicker & Fastl 1999, Plack et al. 2005). At the same time, the field of music perception gained new impetus due to approaches influenced by cognitive psy- chology (e.g., Sloboda 1985, Krumhansl 1990, Bregman 1990), or by cognitive science in general (e.g., Balaban et al.

In the numerical simulations a number of modifications of the geometry mimicking or- naments and reliefs is investigated as such ornaments have lead to mistunes in a very popular case in Germany. It is also shown, how the influence of ornaments on the modification of eigenfrequencies can be reduced. The numerical results obtained by eigenvalue analyses as well as transient analyses with LS-DYNA compare very well with the experimental results. It is shown that LS-DYNA- Finite Element analysis can be well used for bell de- sign [14]. Introduction The casting of bells was and is still an art and the craftsmen or artists are asking for some luck to achieve the final goal of a well sounding bell. Recently in Germany the casting flaws in the mak- ing of the bells for the rebuild Frauenkirche in Dresden have been in the focus of attention.

  • English Language, Large Print
    ENGLISH LANGUAGE, LARGE PRINT Ancient Bells RESOUND of China Resound: Ancient Bells of China Bells were among the first metal objects created in China. Beginning over 3,500 years ago, small, primitive noisemakers grew into gongs and further evolved into sets of hand bells for playing melodies. Centuries of technological experimentation later resulted in sophisticated bells that produced two pitches when struck at different spots. Variations in size, shape, decoration, and sound also reveal regional differences across north and south China. By the late Bronze Age large sets of tuned bells were played in ensemble performances in both areas. Cast from bronze, these durable instruments preserve valuable hints about the character of early Chinese music. Today we can use technology to explore these ancient bells and to explain their acoustical properties, but we know little about the actual sound of this early music. To bring the bells to life, we commissioned three composers to create soundscapes using the recorded tones of a 2,500‐ year‐old bell set on display. Each of them also produced a video projection to interpret his composition with moving images that allow us to "see sound." Unless otherwise indicated, all of these objects are from China, are made of bronze, and were the gift of the Dr. Paul Singer Collection of Chinese Art of the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution; a joint gift of the Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, Paul Singer, the AMS Foundation for the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities, and the Children of Arthur M. Sackler. 2 Symbols of Refinement Chinese regional courts competed with one another on the battlefield and on the music stage.

But the melodies transcribed by travellers mostly belong to the scale of five notes. Helmholtz, On the Sensations of Tone (1863)1 THE EARLIEST TEXTS ABOUT MUSIC THEORY presently known from China are inscriptions on musical instruments found in the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, the ruler of a small state in the middle Yangzi region, who died in 433 BC. Excavated in 1978, the tomb was an underground palace of sorts, a timber structure furnished with an astonishing array of lordly posses- sions (Fig. 1).2 In two of its four chambers the instruments of two distinct musical ensembles were found. Beside the marquis’s coffin in the east chamber was a small ensemble for informal entertainments, music for the royal bedchamber perhaps, consisting of two mouth organs, seven zithers, and a small drum. In the central chamber, shown under excavation in Figure 2, a much larger ensemble for banquets and rituals was found. Composed of winds, strings, drums, a set of chime stones, and a set of bells, it required more than twenty performers. The inscriptions about music theory appear on the chime stones and the bells. They concern Read at the Academy on 26 October 2004. 1 Quoted from Alexander Ellis’s 1885 translation (p. 258) of the fourth German edition (1877). 2 The excavation report, in Chinese, is Zeng Hou Yi mu (1989).
