Grass Clippings Newsletter Grass Clippings Hey all you picker and grinners! Hope your surviving the heat! (Those of you braving out the summer months in the Old Pueblo). Well once again, a number of Tucsonans (13) gathered in beautiful Levelland, Texas for another great week of bluegrass instruction. Levelland, Texas (The American hotbed of bluegrass music!???), Is home to South Plains College, which has degree programs in country and bluegrass music. So this makes the perfect environment for a summer camp. The concert hall, where the faculty perform a nightly concert, is as professional as it gets. Each year the camp has a theme paying tribute to an early pioneer of Bluegrass music. This year they went pre-bluegrass and looked and listened to the music of the Carter family. They, along with Jimmie Rodgers and others, were the first to record "country" music at the "Bristol sessions" in 1927. 20 years prior to the birth of bluegrass. Many of the Carter family songs were the foundation of bluegrass artists. Tim May gave a great workshop on Maybelle Carter's guitar style picking which also influenced modern guitar styles. I asked some of our DBA members to give you their thoughts on camp: (.

Continued from Page 1) I asked some of our DBA members to give you their thoughts on camp: “My highlight was getting to be part of the staff, teaching beginning guitar, running one of the two nightly slow jams and getting to lead the final song of the final faculty concert, a Carter classic close to us all, Will the Circle be Unbroken! All faculty jam!!” -Dave Polston “I had so much fun at camp that I’m still smiling a week later! I have a list of tunes I want to learn that’s longer than my arm, I have so much music buzzing around in my head that I can hardly sit still, and I got more licks and tips than I know what to do with. All of the professional musicians were very involved and approachable, and they seemed genuinely happy to be there. Best of all were the awe-inspiring faculty concerts every night and the energy and camaraderie of my fellow campers. As an added bonus, a small group I play with who mostly went to camp got together a few days after, and we sounded so much better! It was an absolutely wonderful week, and I can’t wait to do it again. I’ve already committed to going next year.“ -Suzette Sommerer PAGE 4 GRASS CLIPPINGS “It was my 6th year at Camp Bluegrass and it was, as usual, amazing. I’m learning to play the dobro and Jimmy Heffernan is the best instructor ever! I feel like I made a breakthrough on solos and am looking forward to spending this coming year practicing what I learned. The lessons alone are worth the price of Camp, but the faculty concerts and dorm jams are like icing on the cake! I’m planning to go again next year if the creek don't rise!” -Doris Schatz PAGE 5 GRASS CLIPPINGS “Best camp ever! The instructors are all excellent! I really enjoyed the nightly concerts, those are worth the price of going. I like the aspect of how the sound systems work and Matt, the sound professor at South Plains, gave a workshop on how and what makes the best sound for acoustic setups.“ -Dale Vickroy “Hello Tucson Pickers and Grinners! Just returned from Camp Bluegrass and all I can say is: AWESOME, WOW, TREMENDOUS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IMAGINABLE! The staff, the format, the concerts, and the jams were wonderful! I know you have heard this before, but I will repeat it: GO NEXT YEAR!” -Jim Wagner “Ditto what Jim said, Camp Bluegrass is no less than Summer camp for adults complete with making new friends and picking partners, eating ice cream with every meal, fast track learning of your particular instrument all day and jamming till the wee hours all night. It's immersion therapy for Bluegrassers, it's a hooting good time, it's concerts and hobnobbing with your favorite Bluegrass artists, it's the joy of being a groupie and pretending you can play better than you can.. Ah, heck, just go, you won't regret it! Set aside the latter part of July next year, save your pennies and just do it.” -Jennifer Johnson PAGE 6 GRASS CLIPPINGS “What a wonderful camp experience this year. I attended the mandolin classes and really enjoyed them. I received enough material to work on for the next year. The highlight for me was jamming with new pickers and learning new songs. I was excited about the opportunity Dave was given. He did a great job and was a great representative of the DBA. I am always sad when its over.” -Nancy Hildreth “This was my first Camp Bluegrass, and what a time it was! From start (locating my room and finding a bunch of DBA'ers already jamming right across the hall) to finish (performing with the same bunch at the student concert, then joining the entire Tucson contingent onstage to close out the camp with Fast Train to Georgia and Will the Circle Be Unbroken), I was floored by the energy, support, and camaraderie at Camp Bluegrass. I met many new jamming friends, got some great instruction, and pushed myself to try new things. It was a blast! I hope to return next year.” -Mike Mitchell PAGE 7 GRASS CLIPPINGS “My crazy event started the first night when I fell on my head and lost hearing for about a day or two. Then the piano bench fell on my foot and ended up in the ER! That was the 'not so good part'. Super highlights were: Having Suzette as a compassionate, 'going above and beyond' caring roommate, the Slow Jams with Dave Polston...that I tried to get to and in those were AMAZING! I am 'getting it' with the notes, the numbers and how it all goes together. (As a BioChem major it was truly a new part of my brain I really needed but since I am getting better daily...with a few hiccups) I REALLY feel like I got the concept of this and look forward to DBA! My fiddle instructors were very understanding that I was a true beginner and they were both great! I loved playing with my 'tribe' of Tucson people the last two nights and was thrilled to be part of the DBA group. People were so friendly at camp!” -Beverly Jutry PAGE 8 GRASS CLIPPINGS “The highlight of my week was getting to pick with both my Colorado friends and my Tucson friends. I took DeeDee Wayland's vocal workshop which was awesome. I now can sing like a bird -in theory. Pulling that off in practice is going to take some work” -Mike Headrick It was a great year and you have a year to put a little money aside each month and plan to join us next summer. We also have a scholarship program to send kids to this camp. We didn't have any this year, but if you know any kids, encourage them to join you at Monday or Tuesday night workshop. There are other youths at camp but not enough. Let's keep this going with the next generation -Dave PAGE 9 GRASS CLIPPINGS Free to a good home.. ……..or actually any home Old reel-to-reel tape recorders, three of them. a Sony, a TEAC, and a Roberts.

  • Andy Cohen – Techniques of the So-Called Piedmont Style and Repertoire
    Andy Cohen – Techniques of the so-called Piedmont Style and Repertoire Cohen’s Law and its corollaries The thumb strikes the low root on the 1, regardless of where the accent falls, almost all the time. Corollary I: When Blind Blake rolls his bass, the second note, not the first, is 1. You can conceive of the first note as either a grace note (a teeny little one beside a normal sized one), which has no associated time value; or the ‘-a’ of the previous measure’s ‘4-e-&-a’. Corollary II: on a plain D chord, there is no bass D, so you either use the higher open D string, or the F# on the low E string for a bass note. It’s okay, it’s a third… Corollary III: Like when you do a two measure break at the end of a phrase, you have established the beat already in the listener’s mind, so you simply omit any bass notes, and proceed to the next place where there is one. Corollary IV: there isn’t a rule for where the thumb has to be at any other time in the measure. Here are some things the thumb may do when it’s not obliged to do something else, or in conjunction with something else: It can brush back or forth to establish a rhythm I ascribe Cohen’s Law to Myron Cohen, the Borscht Belt comedian. It amounts to the observation that in most varieties of guitar (and piano) playing, the low root is expressed in the bass, on the one beat.

  • Lucas Stephen M 2014 Masters
    TRIPLE SYNTHESIS by Stephen Lucas A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2014 © STEPHEN LUCAS 2014 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis supervisors and committee members Professor Michael Coghlan and Professor Alan Henderson, for their guidance and support in the development of this thesis. I must also thank committee member Professor Holly Small for her generous input and support. In addition, I wish to thank my graduate studies Professors Dorothy de Val, Pat Bradley and David Mott for their advice and expert instruction in my coursework at York University. iii Abstract This thesis investigates the result of merging three musical approaches (jazz fusion, breakbeat/IDM and Electronic Dance Music) and their respective methodologies as applied to music composition. It is presented in a progressive manner. Chapters two to four identify and discuss each of the three styles separately in terms of the research undertaken in the preparation of this thesis. Chapter 2 discusses, through a close examination of selected compositions and recordings, both Weather Report and Herbie Hancock as representing source material for research and compositional study in terms of melody, harmony and orchestration from the 1970s jazz-fusion genre. Chapter 3 examines breakbeat and Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) drum rhythm programming through both technique and musical application. Chapter 4 presents an examination of selected contemporary Electronic Dance Music (EDM) techniques and discusses their importance in current electronic music styles. Chapters 5, 6 and 7 each present an original composition based on the application and synthesis of the styles and techniques explored in the previous three chapters, with each composition defined by proportions of influence from each of the three styles as in the Venn diagram shown in the introduction.

  • Chord Names and Symbols (Popular Music) from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Chord names and symbols (popular music) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Various kinds of chord names and symbols are used in different contexts, to represent musical chords. In most genres of popular music, including jazz, pop, and rock, a chord name and the corresponding symbol are typically composed of one or more of the following parts: 1. The root note (e.g. C). CΔ7, or major seventh chord 2. The chord quality (e.g. major, maj, or M). on C Play . 3. The number of an interval (e.g. seventh, or 7), or less often its full name or symbol (e.g. major seventh, maj7, or M7). 4. The altered fifth (e.g. sharp five, or ♯5). 5. An additional interval number (e.g. add 13 or add13), in added tone chords. For instance, the name C augmented seventh, and the corresponding symbol Caug7, or C+7, are both composed of parts 1, 2, and 3. Except for the root, these parts do not refer to the notes which form the chord, but to the intervals they form with respect to the root. For instance, Caug7 indicates a chord formed by the notes C-E-G♯-B♭. The three parts of the symbol (C, aug, and 7) refer to the root C, the augmented (fifth) interval from C to G♯, and the (minor) seventh interval from C to B♭. A set of decoding rules is applied to deduce the missing information. Although they are used occasionally in classical music, these names and symbols are "universally used in jazz and popular music",[1] usually inside lead sheets, fake books, and chord charts, to specify the harmony of compositions.

  • Space and Voice: Compositions for Contemporary Cello
    SPACE AND VOICE: COMPOSITIONS FOR CONTEMPORARY CELLO CHARLES MATTHEW BRUBECK A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL, 2018 © CHARLES MATTHEW BRUBECK, 2018 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation contains a diverse portfolio of ensemble and solo compositions for contemporary cello. Throughout the accompanying paper, the concepts “space” and “voice” are utilized as analytical lenses, as they are central to my compositional approach. The evolution of cello space in Western art music is contrasted with cello space in jazz, and the modes of sound production in the classical cello tradition are compared to the voice of the jazz cello. While examining jazz cello voice, the notion of idiomatic improvisation is considered and the paper turns to original research regarding the recordings of Harry Babasin, Oscar Pettiford, and Fred Katz, who introduced the cello as an improvising instrument to the jazz genre. The remainder of the written component focuses on my composition process and aesthetic considerations. Composition and improvisation are treated as distinct but interrelated points along a continuum of creative music practice. Within the composition process, improvisation is used to generate musical materials, and various methods of structuring pieces to incorporate improvisation are employed. Commentaries on the composition process, including the salient features pertaining to space and voice, are included for each score. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee (Supervisor Michael Coghlan, Dr. Mark Chambers, and, last but not least, Professor Casey Sokol) for their advice and feedback throughout the dissertation process.

It’s supposed to draw attention to the flawed argu‐ 11OneChord. k mentation often used by the self‐styled guardians of ’good music’ FFB when they try to justify their ‘superior’ tastes by branding ‘infe‐ rior’ music as harmonically impoverished. One argument I’ve heard is that the twelve‐bar blues is uninteresting because it only contains three chords (I|I|I|I|IV|IV|I|I|V|IV|I|I). Jazz adepts will understandably retort that a bebop blues performance in‐ cludes many different chords of considerable complexity. Indeed, I remember having great difficulty learning the twelve‐bar har‐ monic sequence shown in Table 26. The chord symbols in brackets (‘A$=I’ etc.) present the three chords in a simple I-IV-V variant of the twelve‐bar blues matrix.
