The shapes and IMAGINAIRE symbols in scores such as Cornelius Cardew’s Treatise The traditional model of production in Western art music (1963-67) and George Crumb’s Makrokosmos (1972-79) keeps the composer at a mysterious distance: neither she are clearly artistic elements in and of themselves, not aes- herself nor the object that she directly produces—the thetically inert instructions for sound production. These score—is typically encountered by the audience during practices find precedents in the works of much earlier com- performance [1]. Although the composer is considered the posers such as Baude Cordier (1380-1440; Figures 1 & 2). “author” of the work, the most immediate fruit of her la- bour is taken to be curiously external to the work itself (ex- cept in the score’s heuristic role of teaching the performer how to mediate the work to the audience). The composer is a kind of shadow-puppeteer, the contortions of whose hands are valued as a means to the end of the projected shadow-image but not as aesthetic ends in themselves. It matters what the score looks like, but only insofar as its appearance affects its clarity in instructing the performer, who in turn delivers the work to the audience through the medium of sound. That the audience does not see the score in performance is assumed not to impoverish their experi- ence of the work, for a successful performance will have transmitted through sound everything essential about the Copyright: © 2018 Jason Noble.

DAUBE'S GENERAL-BASS IN DREY ACCORDEN (1756): A TRANSLATION AND COMMENTARY DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Barbara K. Wallace, B.M., M.M. Denton, Texas May, 1983 Copyright © 1983 by Barbara K. Wallace Wallace, Barbara K., J. F. Daube's "General-Bass in drey Accorden" (1756): A Translation and Commentary. Doctor of Philosophy (Music Theory), May, 1983, 288 pp., bibliography, 138 titles. General-Bass in drey Accorden (1756), the first of Johann Friedrich Daube's theoretical works, is a practical instruction manual in thorough-bass accompaniment. It consists of a sixteen- page preface followed by 215 pages of text and musical examples. The twelve chapters begin with a presentation of interval clas- sification and a discussion of consonance and dissonance. Daube then explains a theory of harmony in which all "chords" are derived from three primary chords. These are illustrated with regard to their sequence in harmonic progressions, their resolutions—common and uncommon—, and their use in modulation. Seventy-two pages of musical examples of modulations from all major and minor keys to all other keys are included. Particular attention is given to the fully diminished seventh chord, which is illustrated in all inversions and in numerous modulatory progressions. Daube devotes one chapter to three methods of keyboard accompaniment. The subject matter includes textures, dynamics, proper doubling, the accompaniment of recitatives, full-voiced accompaniment, the use of arpeggiation, trills, running pas- sages, and ornamentation in general.

  • Notes from the Underground: a Cultural, Political, and Aesthetic Mapping of Underground Music
    Notes From The Underground: A Cultural, Political, and Aesthetic Mapping of Underground Music. Stephen Graham Goldsmiths College, University of London PhD 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: …………………………………………………. Date:…………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract The term ‗underground music‘, in my account, connects various forms of music-making that exist largely outside ‗mainstream‘ cultural discourse, such as Drone Metal, Free Improvisation, Power Electronics, and DIY Noise, amongst others. Its connotations of concealment and obscurity indicate what I argue to be the music‘s central tenets of cultural reclusion, political independence, and aesthetic experiment. In response to a lack of scholarly discussion of this music, my thesis provides a cultural, political, and aesthetic mapping of the underground, whose existence as a coherent entity is being both argued for and ‗mapped‘ here. Outlining the historical context, but focusing on the underground in the digital age, I use a wide range of interdisciplinary research methodologies , including primary interviews, musical analysis, and a critical engagement with various pertinent theoretical sources. In my account, the underground emerges as a marginal, ‗antermediated‘ cultural ‗scene‘ based both on the web and in large urban centres, the latter of whose concentration of resources facilitates the growth of various localised underground scenes. I explore the radical anti-capitalist politics of many underground figures, whilst also examining their financial ties to big business and the state(s). This contradiction is critically explored, with three conclusions being drawn. First, the underground is shown in Part II to be so marginal as to escape, in effect, post- Fordist capitalist subsumption.

    Theme Notes Series 335 Music in Me Music in Me Young children are innately musical. They hear and respond spontaneously to many different environmental sounds within the natural world and within the urban landscape. Children also delight in all sorts of music and love to move their fingers, toes, heads and whole bodies in playful and creative ways. In this series of Play School we celebrate the music in every child. We explore rhythm, beat, volume and pitch and extend awareness of these key elements of music in playful ways. We listen to and create musical instruments and share music through dance, story and play. We invite children and their families to join with us as we investigate different ways to create and respond to the music within, and all around, us. Come and enjoy “Music in Me” with your friends at Play School.

  • Anthony Braxton's Synaesthetic Ideal and Notations for Improvisers
    Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol 4, No 1 (2008) “What I Call a Sound”: Anthony Braxton’s Synaesthetic Ideal and Notations for Improvisers Graham Lock “See deeply enough, and you see musically.” Thomas Carlyle (qtd. in Palmer 27) “Tuned to its grandest level, music, like light, reminds us that everything that matters, even in this world, is reducible to spirit.” Al Young (132) Flick through the pages of Anthony Braxton’s Composition Notes and you’ll soon encounter some striking visual imagery. In Composition #32, for example, “Giant dark chords are stacked together in an abyss of darkness” (CN-B 375); Composition #75 will take you “’from one room to the next’—as if in a hall of mirrors (‘with lights in the mirrors’)” (CN-D 118); in Composition #77D slap tongue dynamics “can be viewed [as] sound ‘sparks’ that dance ‘in the wind’ of the music” (189); enter the “universe” of Composition #101 and you’ll discover “a field of tall long trees (of glass)” (CN-E 142).1 While it is not unusual for composers to employ visual images when discussing their work, Braxton’s descriptions are clearly not illustrative in the sense of, say, Vivaldi’s poems for La Quattro Stagioni or Ellington’s droll explanations of his song titles. Rather than describe scenes that the music supposedly evokes, Braxton appears instead to offer extremely personal visualisations of the musical events and processes that are taking place in his compositions. Further evidence of this highly individual perspective can be found throughout his work.
