Download or read book Materialities written by Kate van Orden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ephemeral, fragile, often left unbound, sixteenth-century songbooks led fleeting lives in the pockets of singers and on the music desks of instrumentalists. Constantly in action, they were forever being used up, replaced, or abandoned as ways of reading changed. As such they document the acts of early musicians and the practices of everyday life at the unseen margins of elite society. Materialities is a cultural history of song on the page. It addresses a series of central questions concerning the audiences for written music by concentrating on the first genre to be commercialized by music printers: the French chanson. Scholars have long stressed that chansons represent the most broadly disseminated polyphony of the sixteenth century, but Materialities is the first book to account for the cultural reach of the chanson across a considerable cross-section of European society. Musicologist Kate van Orden brings extensive primary research and new analytical models to bear in this remarkable history of songbooks, music literacy, and social transformation during the first century of music printing. By tracking chansons into private libraries and schoolrooms and putting chansonniers into dialogue with catechisms, civility manuals, and chapbooks, Materialities charts the social distribution of songbooks, the gradual moralization of song, and the ways children learned their letters and notes. Its fresh conclusions revise several common assumptions about the value early moderns attributed to printed music, the levels of literacy required to perform polyphony, and the way musicians did or did not "read" their songbooks. With musical perspectives that can invigorate studies of print culture and the history of reading, Materialities is an essential guide for musicologists working with original sources and historians of the book interested in the vocal performances that operated alongside print.
Download or read book The Music Sound written by Nicolae Sfetcu and published by Nicolae Sfetcu. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 6042 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide for music: compositions, events, forms, genres, groups, history, industry, instruments, language, live music, musicians, songs, musicology, techniques, terminology , theory, music video. Music is a human activity which involves structured and audible sounds, which is used for artistic or aesthetic, entertainment, or ceremonial purposes. The traditional or classical European aspects of music often listed are those elements given primacy in European-influenced classical music: melody, harmony, rhythm, tone color/timbre, and form. A more comprehensive list is given by stating the aspects of sound: pitch, timbre, loudness, and duration. Common terms used to discuss particular pieces include melody, which is a succession of notes heard as some sort of unit; chord, which is a simultaneity of notes heard as some sort of unit; chord progression, which is a succession of chords (simultaneity succession); harmony, which is the relationship between two or more pitches; counterpoint, which is the simultaneity and organization of different melodies; and rhythm, which is the organization of the durational aspects of music.

Download or read book Music Preferred written by Lorraine Byrne Bodley and published by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 1000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to this Festschrift, honouring the distinguished Irish musicologist Harry White on his sixtieth birthday, have wide repercussions and span a broad timeframe. But for all its variety, this volume is built around two axes: on the one hand, attention is focussed on the history of music and literature in Ireland and the British Isles, and on the other, topics of the German and Austrian musical past. In both cases it reflects the particular interest of a scholar, whose playful, sometimes unconventional way of approaching his subject is so refreshing and time and again leads to innovative, surprising insights. It also reflects a scholar, who – for all the broadening of his perspectives that has taken place over the years – has always adhered to the strands of his scholarly preoccupations that have become dear to him: the music of the 'Austro-Italian Baroque', and Irish musical culture first and foremost. An international cast of authors announces the sustaining influence of Harry White's wide-ranging research.

Download or read book Studies in Historical Improvisation written by Massimiliano Guido and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, scholars and musicians have become increasingly interested in the revival of musical improvisation as it was known in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. This historically informed practice is now supplanting the late Romantic view of improvised music as a rhapsodic endeavour—a musical blossoming out of the capricious genius of the player—that dominated throughout the twentieth century. In the Renaissance and Baroque eras, composing in the mind (alla mente) had an important didactic function. For several categories of musicians, the teaching of counterpoint happened almost entirely through practice on their own instruments. This volume offers the first systematic exploration of the close relationship among improvisation, music theory, and practical musicianship from late Renaissance into the Baroque era. It is not a historical survey per se, but rather aims to re-establish the importance of such a combination as a pedagogical tool for a better understanding of the musical idioms of these periods. The authors are concerned with the transferral of historical practices to the modern classroom, discussing new ways of revitalising the study and appreciation of early music. The relevance and utility of such an improvisation-based approach also changes our understanding of the balance between theoretical and practical sources in the primary literature, as well as the concept of music theory itself. Alongside a word-centred theoretical tradition, in which rules are described in verbiage and enriched by musical examples, we are rediscovering the importance of a music-centred tradition, especially in Spain and Italy, where the music stands alone and the learner must distil the rules by learning and playing the music. Throughout its various sections, the volume explores the path of improvisation from theory to practice and back again.
Download or read book The Cambridge History of Sixteenth Century Music written by Iain Fenlon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the seminal Cambridge History of Music series, this volume departs from standard histories of early modern Western music in two important ways. First, it considers music as something primarily experienced by people in their daily lives, whether as musicians or listeners, and as something that happened in particular locations, and different intellectual and ideological contexts, rather than as a story of genres, individual counties, and composers and their works. Second, by constraining discussion within the limits of a 100-year timespan, the music culture of the sixteenth century is freed from its conventional (and tenuous) absorption within the abstraction of 'the Renaissance', and is understood in terms of recent developments in the broader narrative of this turbulent period of European history. Both an original take on a well-known period in early music and a key work of reference for scholars, this volume makes an important contribution to the history of music.

Download or read book Progressive Balancing in Staccato for Tuba E book 2 written by Angelo Piazzini and published by Glissato Edizioni Musicali. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “Progressive Balancing in Staccato-Advanced Progressive Technical Exercises for Bass and Contrabass Tuba” is entirely dedicated to the study of the staccato. This essay is indeed composed by a first part in a major tonality and a second part in a minor tonality, which are in turn divided into a regular and reverse mode. This, first of all, gives the brass instrument players (may they be professionals or students), the possibility to increase their speed, their precision in the technique and in the staccato, developing, by a gradual balancing of the embouchure, the attacks, the staccato, the octaves, the register, the control, the embouchure, the accuracy and the speed in the technique. I suggest to start at a comfortable metronome speed (75-80), to then gradually increase till the maximum reachable speed, in order to accelerate these advanced technical exercises. I abstain on purpose from proposing instructions as regards the dynamics of performance, because in this case they do not play a significant role, in contrast to what usually occurs in music and scores. I suggest, however, to face the exercises of this essay with some dynamics that can go from “mf” (mezzoforte) up to “f” (forte), or from “mp” (mezzo piano) up to a considerable“mf” (mezzo forte). I leave the player completely free to choose the type of staccato. I suggest howeverto change it day by day, for example by employing a simple staccato the first day, a double staccato the day after, and a triple one the third day, going back to a simple staccato and so on. Besides, one may choose to play, every other day, major and minor tonalities, or one day only theregular mode and the next day the reverse one, all at the complete discretion of the player. Finally, as regards Books 2, 3, and 4, they will clearly have to be performed by employing the double and triple staccatos, which are the designated choices for them. Angelo Piazzini
