During a performance the various instruments, musical parts, envelope generators, etc. are kept in step by a synchronizer routine which operates much like a discrete event simulator.

Abstract An attempt to distinguish between ‘alte Musik’, as German musicians used to conceive it, and ‘early music’, as is now the common phrase in English, provides a new – and perhaps better – lens through which to view the old historical schisms of twentieth-century music. The recourse that musical innovators have always had to ancient precedents, as inspiration and as validation, has many variations, and these variations are reliable reflectors of aesthetic attitudes.

The Music of the Spheres was a model of the universe proposed by Pythagoras and Aristotle, which explained cosmology in terms of spheres to which the sun, the moon and the planets were pinned, while their motion was driven by something akin to music. Modern thinking, related to ecology and industrial ecology, has metaphorically breathed life back into this old model by speaking about spheres again: biosphere, geosphere, anthroposphere, technosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, etc. Sustainable development also speaks about its three pillars (economy, environment, society) represented ...

One of the most consequential developments in the long history of music theory has been its gradual integration with the discipline of musica practica , a discipline that until at least the eighteenth century was considered largely distinct from the rarefied concerns of classical musica theorica . In the present chapter, we will attempt to look at some traditions of “practical” music theory in more detail. We will begin first with a brief discussion of the difficulties in defining “practical” theory and assessing its relation to functions of music pedagogy. We will then proceed to a broad surv...

Three years ago, I applied for and was successful in receiving a grant from Brisbane Catholic Education. This was for an action project to investigate how Information Communication and Learning Technology (ICLT) resources could enhance language learning. From my first project, reflecting on student responses to my questionnaires, many indicated that they enjoyed learning Italian through music or songs. The focus for my second language grant, “learning Italian grammar through songs”, evolved from reflecting on my student responses on their learning and listening to student voice. From my observ...

Although expression in speech as well as in music can frequently be characterized as ‘emotional’, that does not necessarily imply that the purpose of that communication is to ‘convey emotion’. Present findings strongly suggest that musical expression makes large use of the same emotion-specific patterns of acoustic cues as vocal expression. In both cases, there is a similar redundancy of cue which largely reflects the sound production mechanisms of the voice and musical instruments.

Among ethnomusicologists at least, there is much discussion on the forms and techniques of music traditions within specific societies in various, but ainly 'exotic', parts of the world. Far less comparative discussion takes place, for ethnomusicologists tend to be specialists both as to culture and type. In the course of their work they may describe the instruments employed, the ways they are played and even, in some cases, how they are made. But of the study of musical instruments themselves there is rather less discussion or so the specialists in this branch of ethnomusicology have maintaine...

IN recent years I have spoken several times on the subject of "Notre-Dame, University, and Music," without ever committing my ideas to paper. The fact is that I had found it quite easy to stress the coincidence of date and purpose that existed between the building of the new Parisian cathedral begun in 1163 and the composition of a polyphonic cycle for use there during the liturgical year. It was also relatively easy to point out internal and external evidence showing that the further development of that polyphony and its main outgrowth, the motet of the thirteenth century, were under the powe...

A documentary video of Liza Lim's orchestral work 'Pearl, Ochre, Hair String' comprising interview material with the composer and concert footage of the premiere in Munich (July 2010) made by Peider A. Defilla for Bayern Alpha tv for the series 'Musica Viva: Forum der Gegenwartsmusik', 2010.

Abstract:Observations of autistic musical behavior have been recorded for as long as the modern concept of autism has existed. Early autism researchers such as Leo Kanner identified autistic musicking—including listening and performing—as skilled but bizarre: autistic musicality was subsequently conceptualized from a psychoanalytic perspective as integral to the self and deeply interconnected to a pervasive pathology. Upon the decline of psychoanalytic approaches to autism in Anglophone research, autistic musicality transformed into more a myth than a serious topic of inquiry. However, a flurr...

When we speak about musical rhetoric, rhetorical figures, or elements related to musica poetica, we almost always automatically think about the Baroque and, why not, about Johann Sebastian Bach’s music. However, few of us realize that the roots of these notions trace back to the Renaissance, and even fewer will relate them to Martin Luther’s name and the Protestant Reformation. The principles of musical rhetoric developed mainly in the North German space, although they were also present in other countries such as Italy, France and England. It was Germany, however, that in those times most enth...

Music psychology has grown drastically since being established in the middle of the 19th century. However, until now, no large-scale computational bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature in music psychology has been carried out. This study aims to analyze all published literature from the journals Psychology of Music, Music Perception, and Musicae Scientiae. The retrieved literature comprised a total of 2,089 peer-reviewed articles, 2,632 authors, and 49 countries. Visualization and bibliometric techniques were used to investigate the growth of publications, citation analysis, autho...

The article is devoted to the actual problem of historically grounded performance of Baroque vocal music by academic vocalists. Listening activity, the demand for ancient music in Russia raises issues for performers that need to be resolved within the framework of historical performance practice. To fulfill all the conditions, it becomes important to receive an appropriate specialized education. In Russia, little attention is paid to the professional training of academic vocalists in the field of historical singing or baroque singing, whereas in Italy and Germany independent faculties of anc...

A treatise De musica, ascribed to Plutarch (the 2nd c. AD), reflects the music evolution from the beginning of this art in archaic Greece until the early Hellenistic period. Initially, within the spiritual life and the education of the citizens the importance of music education was extremely high. Gradually, during the years, and even since the last part of the 5th c. BC, music, after centuries of dominance, appeared in the spiritual life of the Greeks not as a prevailing feature but as a subsiding one. It was even difficult to maintain its position in the educational system. The participants ...

Zusammenfassung Die heuristische Idee, die in diesem Aufsatz verfolgt wird, ist es, das Unschärfe-Phänomen ›Pop‹ als eigentümliches, weltgesellschaftlich operierendes Funktionssystem aufzufassen. Als Sozialsystem reproduziert es eine spezifische (kommunikative) Differenz, die sich dem Medium des ›Songs‹ einschreibt, das Wahrnehmungen auf raffinierte Weise in den Kommunikationszusammenhang des Systems einbettet. Angenommen wird, daß nach preadaptive advances, die bis in die Renaissance zurückreichen, das System in den Fünfziger Jahren startet mit der spezifischen Operation der ›Provokation-im-M...

Recently, as the importance of the relationship between music and people, and between people who mediate music and society has been on the rise in music education, this study reflects on current music education based on Musicking(1998) written by Christopher Small and its follow-up studies. To discuss this study, the musicking was redefined by comparing the musicking of Christopher Small with musicing of David J. Elliot, and the direction of music education was suggested based on musicking of Small. Small stressed on the concept of experiences to focus on the musical behaviors while the musici...

In the present volume, however, Bartle has extended the former survey to include teaching practices in all types of Australian schools and at every instructional level, from primary school through the teacher-training college. Graham Bartle has organized the research very well. There seems to be a continuous thread of statistical evidence for each descriptive summary. These summaries inclu...

It is certainly nothing new to point out that Pygmies, hunter-gatherers of the African equatorial rainforest, are known as a people who sing and dance—in other words, who “music“†—a lot. Their music, for the most part vocal polyphony, has been abundantly recorded and reproduced on 78-rpm records and on CDs. Many

OR the last fifty or sixty years the practice of using folktunes as thematic bases upon which to erect, or from which to develop, pretentious art-compositions, has become so general and such a well recognized method of procedure that a discussion of it in all its aspects is peculiarly pertinent at this time. It is in fact no new thing. Folk-tunes have been made use of in one way or another in art-music for several hundred years. But they have not always been used with the same end in view. Sometimes they have been introduced into a composition as a purely suggestive extraneous element; a passi...

The German phrase ‘Musik und Sprache’ has a dual meaning: both ‘music and speech’ and ‘music and language’. This is a commonly used phrase within the German speaking New Music community to refer to...

Indian vocalists trace intricate shapes with their hands while improvising melody. Although every vocalist has an idiosyncratic gestural style, students inherit ways of shaping melodic space from their teachers, and the motion of the hand and voice are always intimately connected. Though observers of Indian classical music have long commented on these gestures, Musicking Bodies is the first extended study of what singers actually do with their hands and voices. Matthew Rahaim draws on years of vocal training, ethnography, and close analysis to demonstrate the ways in which hand gesture is used...

Despite the large amount of sociological work on human embodiment very little has been done on the embodiment of music or musicking. In this paper I seek to open this area up by way of two key concepts: ‘body techniques’ and ‘music worlds’. Specifically I seek to explore the role of body techniques within music worlds. The first part of the paper engages with the work of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Culture Studies on subcultures, considering how this might shed light upon the body techniques used by audiences in music worlds. The second part turns to artists, support personnel and t...

Once Verdi had become Italy's preeminent opera composer, he wrote only a few instrumental compositions, most notably the "String Quartet in E Minor" of 1873. He originally wanted to keep this quartet - first performed in his hotel for a few friends - private, but he eventually allowed its publication. Following its 1876 public premiere in Paris with the celebrated violinist Camillo Sivori, it soon became well known all over Europe and the United States. Though several recordings are available and the piece is regularly performed, all of these performances use later editions that do not live up...
