Book excerpt: Drawing inspiration from John Cage's, Notations, Notations 21 features illustrated musical scores from more than 100 international composers, all of whom are making amazing breakthroughs in the art of notation. These spectacularly beautiful and fascinatingly creative visual pieces not only make for exciting music, but inspiring visual art as well. The scores are accompanied by written contributions from the artists that explore every facet of their creative processes, from inspiration to execution. Contributors include the likes of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Earle Brown, Halim El-Dabh, Joan La Barbara, and Yuji Takahashi, as well as emerging composers whose compositions are also visually astounding and important. In the spirit of honoring the 40th anniversary of Cage's seminal book, while furthering it in a 21st century context, a portion of the sales will be donated to the Foundation for Contemporary Performing Arts.

Book Synopsis Enlightening Symbols by : Joseph Mazur
Download or read book Enlightening Symbols written by Joseph Mazur and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining look at the origins of mathematical symbols While all of us regularly use basic math symbols such as those for plus, minus, and equals, few of us know that many of these symbols weren't available before the sixteenth century. What did mathematicians rely on for their work before then? And how did mathematical notations evolve into what we know today? In Enlightening Symbols, popular math writer Joseph Mazur explains the fascinating history behind the development of our mathematical notation system. He shows how symbols were used initially, how one symbol replaced another over time, and how written math was conveyed before and after symbols became widely adopted. Traversing mathematical history and the foundations of numerals in different cultures, Mazur looks at how historians have disagreed over the origins of the numerical system for the past two centuries. He follows the transfigurations of algebra from a rhetorical style to a symbolic one, demonstrating that most algebra before the sixteenth century was written in prose or in verse employing the written names of numerals. Mazur also investigates the subconscious and psychological effects that mathematical symbols have had on mathematical thought, moods, meaning, communication, and comprehension. He considers how these symbols influence us (through similarity, association, identity, resemblance, and repeated imagery), how they lead to new ideas by subconscious associations, how they make connections between experience and the unknown, and how they contribute to the communication of basic mathematics. From words to abbreviations to symbols, this book shows how math evolved to the familiar forms we use today.

Book Synopsis Palaeobyzantine Notations 3 by : Gerda Wolfram
Download or read book Palaeobyzantine Notations 3 written by Gerda Wolfram and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Band als Ergebnis einer Tagung von Musikologen und Byzantinisten in Schloss Hernen/NL, beleuchtet verschiedene Aspekte des byzantinischen und des daraus entsprungenen slavischen Kirchengesangs. Zwei grosse Themenkreise stehen im Vordergrund: Notation und Melismatik, daneben beleuchten Beitrage zur Liturgie, zur Modalitat der Gesange und zur oralen Uberlieferung die byzantinische und slavische Tradition. Es ist wichtig, musikalische und liturgische Erscheinungsbilder der byzantinischen und slavischen Spatzeit nicht losgelost von der fruhen Tradition zu untersuchen, sondern die Wurzeln ihrer Entstehung stets im Auge zu behalten. Hierin stellt die Entwicklung der verschiedenen Notationssysteme die Basis fur jede weitere Untersuchung dar. In der liturgischen Musik der Hagia Sophia von Konstantinopel entstanden bereits im 8.-10. Jahrhundert melismatische Gesange, wahrend im monastischen Ritus einfache Melodien vorherrschten. Die Verschmelzung von Kathedral- und monastischer Tradition schuf eine neue Basis fur die Entstehung einer hochmelismatischen Gesangform, der Kalophonie. Basierend auf der byzantinischen Gesangtradition sind auch im slavischen Raum bereits ab dem 11. Jahrhundert melismatische Gesange uberliefert, die auf die ornamentierten Melodien der russischen Kirchenmusik des 15.-17. Jahrhunderts Einfluss hatten. Ein bedeutender Aspekt ist die Berucksichtigung der oralen Tradition, die durch alle Zeiten ein tragendes Element in der Uberlieferung der Gesange war.

Book Synopsis A Semiotic Approach to Open Notations by : Tristan McKay
Download or read book A Semiotic Approach to Open Notations written by Tristan McKay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with twentieth-century developments in playing techniques, technologies, and concepts of musical sound, the notations employed by composers have also changed. Composers of what Umberto Eco calls 'open works' often employ intentionally ambiguous music notations. These open notations ask the performer to play a radical and active role in co-creating the musical work. Scores that feature open notations have been part of the Western classical music landscape since the mid-twentieth century, and continue to have a vibrant community of practitioners today. In this Element, Tristan McKay considers intersections of ambiguity, authority, and identity in works with open notations. He develops a semiotic approach to open notation analysis and puts it into practice with in-depth analyses of openly notated works by Earle Brown, Will Redman, and Leah Asher.
Book Synopsis Dance Notations and Robot Motion by : Jean-Paul Laumond
Download or read book Dance Notations and Robot Motion written by Jean-Paul Laumond and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why to write a movement? Who is the writer? Who is the reader? They may be choreographers working with dancers. They may be roboticists programming robots. They may be artists designing cartoons in computer animation. In all such fields the purpose is to express an intention about a dance, a specific motion or an action to perform, in terms of intelligible sequences of elementary movements, as a music score that would be devoted to motion representation. Unfortunately there is no universal language to write a motion. Motion languages live together in a Babel tower populated by biomechanists, dance notators, neuroscientists, computer scientists, choreographers, roboticists. Each community handles its own concepts and speaks its own language. The book accounts for this diversity. Its origin is a unique workshop held at LAAS-CNRS in Toulouse in 2014. Worldwide representatives of various communities met there. Their challenge was to reach a mutual understanding allowing a choreographer to access robotics concepts, or a computer scientist to understand the subtleties of dance notation. The liveliness of this multidisciplinary meeting is reflected by the book thank to the willingness of authors to share their own experiences with others.

Book Synopsis Material Cultures of Music Notation by : Floris Schuiling
Download or read book Material Cultures of Music Notation written by Floris Schuiling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material Cultures of Music Notation brings together a collection of essays that explore a fundamental question in the current landscape of musicology: how can writing and reading music be understood as concrete, material practices in a wider cultural context? Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from musicology, media studies, performance studies, and more, the chapters in this volume offer a wide array of new perspectives that foreground the materiality of music notation. From digital scores to the transmission of manuscripts in the Middle Ages, the volume deliberately disrupts boundaries of discipline, historical period, genre, and tradition, by approaching notation's materiality through four key interrelated themes: knowledge, the body, social relations, and technology. Together, the chapters capture vital new work in an essential emerging area of scholarship.
