The early chapters on polyphony emphasize Baroque models (though Classic and Romantic examples have been included where possible), then the chapters on chromatic harmony and the larger forms emphasize the Classic and Romantic eras, and in the final chapters the focus shifts to the Impressionists and composers of the twentieth century ... integrating analysis is presented ... The elements of an integrating analysis are, in order: pitch, and rhythm (conceived in broad terms), followed by melody, harmony, texture, timbre, and dynamics ... After these areas have been examined in more or less depth, the analysis focuses on two synthesizing considerations: form and tension ..."--Preface, volume 2.

Download or read book Shaping Time written by David Epstein and published by Wadsworth Publishing Company. This book was released on 1995 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epstein investigates the relationship between the ineffable art of music and the hard science of neurobiology. He integrates philosophic and scientific inquiry to formulate a theory of the fundamental yet elusive quality in music time. Derived from an analytical study of motion, tempo and emotion, Shaping Time offers a theory of the way we percieve, perform and interpret music. Epstein suggests that audience satisfaction with a musical performance results from timing trajectories established by the performer at the beginning of the piece. When the timing of a performance conflicts with audience anticipation, listeners experience physical and affective discomfort. Epstein applies his thesis to a wide range of examples for the repertoire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful and original classical composer as well as a renowned composer of film scores, Ernst Toch (1887 1964) made a permanent contribution to music in this important and widely praised book. Based on a series of lectures given at Harvard in 1944 and first published in 1948, this book is a brilliant examination of the materials and concepts that are the basic building blocks of music harmony, melody, counterpoint, and form. An admirable reconciliation of traditional and modern (mainly 12-tone) trends in composition, this book shows all types of writing must respond to psychological wants of the listener and how similar goals may be achieved in seemingly opposed styles. Illustrating his discussion with 390 musical examples, Toch not only introduces new ideas and approaches, but examines many age-old problems with clarity and precision consonance and dissonance, form versus number, and more. His analysis of the expanding harmonic universe, the wave line of melody, and the formative influence of movement are particularly penetrating. New to this edition are a biological introduction by Toch's grandson, Lawrence Weschler; a previously unpublished letter from Thomas Mann to Toch about this book (in English translation); and a complete checklist of Toch's compositions. Intended for all those who have a minimum understanding of musical notation and theory, this book will appeal to music lovers, practical musicians and amateurs, and incipient composers."

Download or read book Musical Form and Analysis written by Glenn Spring and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the way music unfolds to the listener is a major key for unlocking the secrets of the composer’s art. Musical Form and Analysis, highly regarded and widely used for two decades, provides a balanced theoretical and philosophical approach that helps upper-level undergraduate music majors understand the structures and constructions of major musical forms. Spring and Hutcheson present all of the standard topics expected in such a text, but their approach offers a unique conceptual thrust that takes readers beyond mere analytical terminology and facts. Evocative rather than encyclopedic, the text is organized around three elements at work at all levels of music: time, pattern, and proportion. Well-chosen examples and direct, well-crafted assignments reinforce techniques. A 140-page anthology of music for in-depth analysis provides a wide range of carefully selected works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can hum it, but can you write it down? When most people think of a composer, they picture a bewigged genius like Mozart or Beethoven frenetically directing mighty orchestras in the ornate palaces of Vienna. While that may have been the case once upon a time, modern composers make themselves heard far beyond the classical conservatoire and concert hall. These days, soundtracks are in high demand in industries such as TV, film, advertising, and even gaming to help create immersive and exciting experiences.

To help you translate your musical ideas from fleeting tunes in your head to playable bars and notation on paper, professional composer and instructor Scott Jarrett and music journalist Holly Day take you on a friendly step-by-step journey through the process of musical creation, including choosing the right rhythms and tempos, creating melodies and chord progressions, and working with instruments and voices. You’ll learn how to match keys and chords to mood, use form to enhance your creativity, and write in different styles from pop to classical—and you'll even learn how to keep hammering away when inspiration eludes you. Organize and preserve your musical ideas Formalize your knowledge with professional vocabulary Get familiar with composition apps and software Make a demo and market on social media Filled with musical exercises to help you acquire the discipline you need for success, Music Composition For Dummies has everything you need to turn your inner soundtrack into a tuneful reality!

Download or read book Text Book of Musical Elements written by Geo Oakey and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. THE information given in this book should be in the possession of all practical musicians; it is a pre-requisite to higher studies in musical art, and is essential to a just and intelligent rendering of music, be the performer vocalist or instrumentalist. The lack of theoretical knowledge which is exhibited by so many amateur performers in their inability to explain or to write correctly the simplest musical passage is now recognised by the various musical institutions and other examining bodies. Theoretical knowledge forms the chief subject of all preliminary examinations, and is a requirement in most examinations that are ostensibly confined to testing practical skill. To assist persons preparing for these examinations is one of the objects that the author has had in view in writing the following pages, and it is hoped that the questions and exercises which follow the text of the work will be specially useful for that purpose. The present work differs from others of the same class principally in its plan and arrangement. The several topics are in the progressive order that the author considers best adapted to convey an entire knowledge of the subject to an ordinary student. The chief elements and the fundamental structure of notation are dealt with first, the minutiae of ornament, variation, and contraction being reserved for after and separate consideration in chapters specially devoted to them. Prominence is given to all the details of notation as it is written to-day rather than to those ancient methods of writing music which are often referred to in similar works. Such references have more place in a history of music, and are rarely, in the author's experience, a help to those who are endeavouring to master the elements of music. The various details of notation diffused throughout the work, with those which have special mention in the chapter embracing points of writing, will, it is hoped, help those who wish to write accurately and clearly. The chapter on the elements of harmony introduces a subject not generally included in a work of this class. The best teachers of the pianoforte find it advantageous that their pupils should not only possess a thorough knowledge of what is usually comprehended in the term " musical elements," but that they should also have some knowledge of the rudiments of the art that deals with the construction of music. The hope of the author is that the concluding chapter will not only meet the wants of those who seek to acquire a purely rudimentary knowledge of the art, but that it may stimulate some to make a more comprehensive study of the subject of harmony in its entirety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over a million jazz recordings, but only a few hundred tunes have been recorded repeatedly. Why did a minority of songs become jazz standards? Why do some songs--and not others--get rerecorded by many musicians? Shaping Jazz answers this question and more, exploring the underappreciated yet crucial roles played by initial production and markets--in particular, organizations and geography--in the development of early twentieth-century jazz. Damon Phillips considers why places like New York played more important roles as engines of diffusion than as the sources of standards. He demonstrates why and when certain geographical references in tune and group titles were considered more desirable. He also explains why a place like Berlin, which produced jazz abundantly from the 1920s to early 1930s, is now on jazz's historical sidelines. Phillips shows the key influences of firms in the recording industry, including how record companies and their executives affected what music was recorded, and why major companies would rerelease recordings under artistic pseudonyms. He indicates how a recording's appeal was related to the narrative around its creation, and how the identities of its firm and musicians influenced the tune's long-run popularity. Applying fascinating ideas about market emergence to a music's commercialization, Shaping Jazz offers a unique look at the origins of a groundbreaking art form.

Download or read book The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison written by Ralph Ellison and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the renowned author of Invisible Man, a classic, “elegant” (The New York Times) collection of essays that captures the breadth and complexity of his insights into racial identity, jazz and folklore, and citizenship across six decades. Compiled, edited, and newly revised by Ralph Ellison’s literary executor, John F. Callahan, this definitive volume includes posthumously discovered reviews, criticism, and interviews, as well as the essay collections Shadow and Act (1964), hailed by Robert Penn Warren as “a body of cogent and subtle commentary on the questions that focus on race,” and Going to the Territory (1986), an exploration of literature and folklore, jazz and culture, and the nature and quality of lives that Black Americans lead. With newly discovered essays and speeches, The Collected Essays reveals a more vulnerable, intimate side of Ellison than what we've previously seen. “Raph Ellison,” wrote Stanley Crouch, “reached across race, religion, class and sex to make us all Americans.”
