Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Year Analysis (Musical Form) The purpose of this text is to acquaint the student with the structure of music. This requires the explanatory text and questions which are provided in this volume and, as well, material for analysis which is provided in a separate volume, entitled: Musical Form And Analysis. (Schmidt's Educational Series, No.122.) The advantage of having all the required material for analysis in one book, is obvious. The examples must necessarily be selected from a wide variety of sources from a wider literature, in fact, than most students possess. While this reading text covers the more common forms, it is most desirable to carry out all the analysis required. It is only by the actual analytical examination of music that the form is grasped as a whole, and its subsidiary elements of structure revealed. A symphony, or a symyhonic poem, like a cathedral, has its ground plan, its details, its elaborated motives, and its interrelation of parts. While one may look upon a cathedral in wonder and admiration, both these emotions are intensified and justified by a knowledge of the creative thought and of the constructive process that lie in the work as a complex of growth; a complex that is always reducible to a simple basis.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of the Evolution of Musical Form The general drift of this theory of music has already been indicated in The Rhythmic Conception of Music. The object of the present volume may be briefly stated to be the application of the evolutionary principle to practical music, the essential motive power of which is to be found in rhythm. By this means it is possible to produce an analysis which, as promised in the former volume, shall weld all the various parts of musical education into one consistent and logical whole. The theory has arisen not from abstract ideas, but out of the study of music. It is not so much a theory about music as an endeavour to translate into the terms of the intellect the form of the impressions made upon the musical imagination - in short, to hold the mirror up to Music. It is hoped that those who have themselves the intuitive knowledge will recognise the likeness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Musical Analysis: Delivered Before the Royal Normal College and Academy of Music for the Blind The continued eagerness among the younger as well as the elder students, led me to consider whether, if the Lectures, originally delivered from rough notes, were fairly arranged in readable form, they might be useful to Musical Students generally; and I determined to make a selection from those delivered, and so to prepare them for the press. This volume is the result. It is offered, not as by any means furnishing a complete course of instruction in Musical Analysis. This would require a much larger work. But, in familiar manner, it deals consecutively with some of those elementary principles of Musical Structure, illustrated in the works of the Great Masters, with which every student should become acquainted, who aspires to intelligence about the Art. Movement Strue ture is the one subject herein expatiated upon. The work is not a treatise upon the art of Composition, but a commentary upon existing compositions, and an explanation of various structures. I have not attempted completeness, fulness, or didactic dogmatism. I have adhered to the general familiar colloquialism which all along has characterized my talks with my blind pupils: for are you going to talk to us to-night? Has been the form of inquiry: the formal term Lecture has been little used. Let these familiar papers, then, be accepted as a sample of the kind of work which is being carried on in the Institution and further, of the kind of helpful work which, without any great pretension, any friendly teacher may carry on with willing pupils. And, still further, let Musical Students accept these Lectures as affording some helpful guidance in their analytical studies: showing them what to look for, and how to look for it.

Download or read book Musical Miniatures Classic Reprint written by Colin B. Richmond and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Miniatures The purpose of this booklet is to help promote a spirit of sympathy on the part of parents toward the development of their children in the knowledge and appreciation of music. These miniatures indicate the desirability of an increased sympathy toward the children, their teachers and the general field of music as an art. Certainly a closer bond of understanding might exist between parents, particularly mothers, and music. There are many advantages in beginning in infancy the basis of a child's appreciation Of music. Such pre-school training tends to create a sympathetic bond between the children and their parents. There is much a parent can do to enable the child to hear good music in the home. Encouragement given in the development of his sense of rhythm, his ear for music, and his musical appreciation in general, benefits both the child and the parents. It is quite rea sonable to believe that a child can learn to sing as he learns to talk. The first conscious tone he sounds should be of as much moment as the first spoken word. It is not the writer's intention to make this booklet technical in the least. The discussion on Elementary Theory and Musical Structure is of necessity inclined to be somewhat technical in appearance, though in reality it is not any more technical than the inside of any good dictionary. It is included because there seems to be a definite need for such information as it offers. There are many perplexing problems that arise in the parent's mind when asked by the child for assistance in the matter Of note values, scale building, the meaning of certain signs and characters found in the music the child has been given by his teacher to study, the meaning and measurement of intervals, the formation of chords, the analysis of a piece of music to determine its form, - all items upon any one of which the young student might nat urally turn to the parent for assistance. With this in mind, the discussion is entered in this booklet in the hope that it may help the parent to supply, even in a small way perhaps, the assistance sought by the child. Technical terms have been avoided whenever possible in order that the reader unfamiliar with 'such terms may better understand the matter under discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Larger Forms of Musical Composition: An Exhaustive Explanation of the Variations, Rondos, and Sonata Designs, for the General Student of Musical Analysis, and for the Special Student of Structural Composition "And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep." - Genesis, I, 2. "Order is heaven's first law." - Alexander Pope. "Passion, whether great or not, must never he expressed in an exaggerated manner; and music - even in the most ardent moment - ought never to offend the ear, hut should always remain music, whose object it is to give pleasure." - Mozart. "Inspiration without methods and means at its disposal will no more enable a man to write a symphony than to build a ship or a cathedral." - C. Hubert H. Parry. "Evolution of the art of music." "I have never believed it possible that any natural or improved ability can claim immunity from the companionship of the steady, plain, hardworking qualities, and hope to gain its end." - Dickens. "David Copperfield." The present volume is a sequel to the Homophonic Forms and Applied Counterpoint, and is similarly designed for the use both of the student of analysis, and the student of practical composition. It claims to be no more than a guide for the student through the successive stages in the evolution of the larger and largest forms of music structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Musical Form: On the Basis of Ludwig Bussler's "Musikalische Formenlehre" In view of the fact that the means or organs by which musical tones are produced are either natural (the human voice), or artificial (musical instruments), music is either 1. Purely vocal or, 2. Purely instrumental; or, 3. Mixed - i. E., at once vocal and instrumental. To one or the other of these three grand divisions of musical forms every musical composition must be assigned. Further, each one of these form-genera, as embracing compositions having either but a single movement, or many movements, is, accordingly, either simple, or composite (cyclical).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Studies at Home Hese studies were originally published, in serial form, in the Ladies' Home Journal, of Philadelphia. They were intended to reach persons remote from centres of musical culture, those whose early education had been neglected, those who had become dis couraged by wrong methods of teaching, and those whose time and means for self-improve ment were limited. Others had popularized art and science, through familiar lectures, but, so far as I knew, no one had done the same work for music, bringing it down to the comprehension of the masses. The success of the series has far sur passed my most sanguine expectations. In the hope that the studies may live a life of renewed usefulness, I venture to present them to the pub lic, in a permanent shape.

Download or read book Rote Song Book written by Frederic Herbert Ripley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rote Song Book: First Steps in Music The rote song book is intended to cultivate a perception of tone relation, to arouse the aesthetic nature, and to develop the artistic sense of the child through song and verse. The work is divided into ten parts corresponding with the ten months of the school year. The work in tone perception is the direct and natural correlative of the songs, which are arranged to follow the changing seasons and to announce and illustrate the various festivals Of the year. Special care has been taken to present music which by its simple char. Acter is best suited to the beginner. The poems, many Of which are taken from the most recent readers for the first grade, represent the latest thought Of the best authors of child literature. Every part of the book has been faithfully tested in the class-room before it has been allowed a place. The general plan of development is similar to that expressed in the first year chart of the Natural Course in Music (chart A). The use of that chart in conjunction with the book is therefore recommended, but the absence of the chart will not prevent the successful accomplish ment of the work if the teacher is able to make use Of the blackboard for practice exercises. The directions for the work, though full, are yet suggestive, and leave to the teacher a very wide field for the exercise of her individual preferences.

Download or read book Musical Form written by Ebenezer Prout and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Form The preceding volumes of this series have dealt chiefly with matters of musical theory, though theory and practice are so closely connected that it is impossible to draw a hard and fast line of demarcation between them. The present volume, on the other hand, is almost practical, and points of theory are hardly touched upon. None of the earlier works of the series have involved anything like the amount of labour in their preparation that has been needful for this one. Very little is to be found in English musical literature concerning the subjects which occupy the greater part of the volume; and the materials had to be compiled partly from large German treatises on composition, which, however interesting and instructive, can certainly not be considered as "light reading," and, to a still larger extent, from the careful and often minute analysis of the works of the great masters. This, it is hoped, will be deemed a sufficient apology for the delay in the appearance of the present volume. In dealing with the subject of Musical Form, the author felt that the only satisfactory and logical method was to begin with the rudiments. Rhythm - that is, the more or less regular recurrence of cadence, is as much an essential of music as it is of poetry. The first part of this volume is therefore devoted to an examination of the fundamental principles of Rhythm, as shown in the construction of musical phrases and sentences. Such an examination would have been incomplete without the analysis of a musical sentence into its ultimate constituents - the motives. In his treatment of this part of the subject the author must express his deep indebtedness to the researches of Dr. Hugo Riemann. He believes that this distinguished German theorist has been the first to recognized fully the true nature of the motive, and the connection of its unaccented notes, not with the preceding, but with the following accented note.

Download or read book A Sonata Theory Handbook written by James Hepokoski and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sonata form is the most commonly encountered organizational plan in the works of the classical-music masters, from Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven to Schubert, Brahms, and beyond. Sonata Theory, an analytic approach developed by James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy in their award-winning Elements of Sonata Theory (2006), has emerged as one of the most influential frameworks for understanding this musical structure. What can this method from "the new Formenlehre" teach us about how these composers put together their most iconic pieces and to what expressive ends? In this new Sonata Theory Handbook, Hepokoski introduces readers step-by-step to the main ideas of this approach. At the heart of the book are close readings of eight individual movements from Mozart's Piano Sonata in B-flat, K. 333, to such structurally complex pieces as Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" String Quartet and the finale of Brahms's Symphony No 1 that show this analytical method in action. These illustrative analyses are supplemented with four updated discussions of the foundational concepts behind the theory, including dialogic form, expositional action zones, trajectories toward generically normative cadences, rotation theory, and the five sonata types. With its detailed examples and deep engagements with recent developments in form theory, schema theory, and cognitive research, this handbook updates and advances Sonata Theory and confirms its status as a key lens for analyzing sonata form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Music Reader The aim' Of this Course is to develop in the pupil an intelligent appreciation and enjoyment of good music, a musical and expressive voice, the ability to read music at sight, and the power Of musical interpretation. To inspire love of good music. To appreciate the power and beauty of music, the pupil must become familiar with well-written music of various kinds in selections that shall be interesting from his own point of view as well as admirable from that Of the critical musician. By familiar association with such music and wisely directed study of it the pupil's taste is cultivated and a love of good music is fostered. With this in view the Course provides a great variety of selections culled from the best available sources. To develop a musical voice. The proper treatment Of the child voice is Of great importance and has received the utmost attention in these books. No elaborate scheme of voice culture is desirable or practicable in the elementary schools; but, beginning with the cultivation of the head-tone quality of the child voice through the descending scale, the few simple vital principles which induce breath control, proper tone direction, voice quality, and enunciation are presented in specific voice drills and underlie the material Of the entire Course. In each grade all selections are so placed in pitch and range as to conserve and foster the pupil's voice at that stage of his development. The aim is to estab lish early so thoroughly a correct use Of the voice that the vocal poise is not lost when the attention is given to the intellectual demands of sight singing.

Download or read book Anthology of Musical Forms Structure Style Expanded Edition written by Leon Stein and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on 1999-11-27 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structure and Style, first published in 1962 and expanded in 1979, fills the need for new ways of analysis that put 20th-century music in perspective. It spans forms in use before 1600 through forms and techniques in use today. Anthology of Musical Forms provides musical examples of forms treated in Structure and Style. Some examples are analyzed throughout. Most are left for the student to analyze. These books reflect Leon Stein's impressive background as student, musician, and composer. Stein studied composition with Leo Sowerby, Frederick Stock (conductor of the Chicago Symphony) and orchestration with Eric DeLamarter, his assistant. He earned M. Mus and Ph.D degrees at DePaul University and was associated with its School of Music as director of the Graduate Division and chairman of the Department of Theory and Composition until his retirement in 1976. He has composed a wide variety of works, including compositions for orchestra, chamber combinations, two operas, and a violin concerto.
