Download or read book Sonorous Desert written by Kim Haines-Eitzen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enduring lessons from the desert soundscapes that shaped the Christian monastic tradition For the hermits and communal monks of antiquity, the desert was a place to flee the cacophony of ordinary life in order to hear and contemplate the voice of God. But these monks discovered something surprising in their harsh desert surroundings: far from empty and silent, the desert is richly reverberant. Sonorous Desert shares the stories and sayings of these ancient spiritual seekers, tracing how the ambient sounds of wind, thunder, water, and animals shaped the emergence and development of early Christian monasticism. Kim Haines-Eitzen draws on ancient monastic texts from Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine to explore how noise offered desert monks an opportunity to cultivate inner quietude, and shows how the desert quests of ancient monastics offer profound lessons for us about what it means to search for silence. Drawing on her own experiences making field recordings in the deserts of North America and Israel, she reveals how mountains, canyons, caves, rocky escarpments, and lush oases are deeply resonant places. Haines-Eitzen discusses how the desert is a place of paradoxes, both silent and noisy, pulling us toward contemplative isolation yet giving rise to vibrant collectives of fellow seekers. Accompanied by Haines-Eitzen’s evocative audio recordings of desert environments, Sonorous Desert reveals how desert sounds taught ancient monks about solitude, silence, and the life of community, and how they can help us understand ourselves if we slow down and listen.

Download or read book Music and the Sonorous Sublime in European Culture 1680 1880 written by Sarah Hibberd and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sublime - that elusive encounter with overwhelming height, power or limits - has been associated with music from the early-modern rise of interest in the Longinian sublime to its saturation of European culture in the later nineteenth century and beyond. This volume offers a historically situated study of the relationship between music, sound and the sublime. Together, the authors distinguish between the different aesthetics of production, representation and effect, while understanding these as often mutually reinforcing approaches. They demonstrate music's strength in playing out the sublime as transfer, transport and transmission of power, allied to the persistent theme of destruction, deaths and endings. The volume opens up two avenues for further research suggested by the adjective 'sonorous': a wider spectrum of sounds heard as sublime, and (especially for those outside musicology) a more multifaceted idea of music as a cultural practice that shares boundaries with other sounding phenomena.
Download or read book Sonorous Relics Theory SRT Extracting Ancient Voices from Artifacts written by Karim Mokhtar and published by Carthage ABC. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sonorous Relics Theory (SRT) is a theory that seeks to explore and extract ancient sounds and human voices embedded within archaeological artifacts. Traditional archaeology has focused primarily on studying visual aspects, such as objects, structures, and inscriptions, to understand past civilizations. However, this theory proposes that artifacts, including musical instruments, pottery, and even everyday objects, may contain hidden sonic information waiting to be deciphered.
Download or read book The Order of Sounds written by Francois J. Bonnet and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the subtlety, complexity, and variety of modes of hearing maps out a “sonorous archipelago”—a heterogeneous set of shifting sonic territories shaped by the vicissitudes of desire and discourse. Profoundly intimate yet immediately giving onto distant spaces, both an “organ of fear” and an echo chamber of anticipated pleasures, an uncontrollable flow subject to unconscious selection and augmentation, the subtlety, complexity, and variety of modes of hearing has meant that sound has rarely received the same philosophical attention as the visual. In The Order of Sounds, François J. Bonnet makes a compelling case for the irreducible heterogeneity of “sound,” navigating between the physical models constructed by psychophysics and refined through recording technologies, and the synthetic production of what is heard. From primitive vigilance and sonic mythologies to digital sampling and sound installations, he examines the ways in which we make sound speak to us, in an analysis of listening as a plurivocal phenomenon drawing on Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Barthes, Nancy, Adorno, and de Certeau, and experimental pioneers such as Tesla, Bell, and Raudive. Stringent critiques of the “soundscape” and “reduced listening” demonstrate that univocal ontologies of sound are always partial and politicized; for listening is always a selective fetishism, a hallucination of sound filtered by desire and convention, territorialized by discourse and its authorities. Bonnet proposes neither a disciplined listening that targets sound “itself,” nor an “ocean of sound” in which we might lose ourselves, but instead maps out a sonorous archipelago—a heterogeneous set of shifting sonic territories shaped and aggregated by the vicissitudes of desire and discourse.

Download or read book Speaking of Music written by Keith Chapin and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People chat about music every day, but they also treat it as a limit, as the boundary of what is sayable. By addressing different perspectives and traditions that form and inform the speaking of music in Western culture--musical, literary, philosophical, semiotic, political--this volume offers a unique snapshot of today's scholarship on speech about music. The range of considerations and material is wide. Among others, they include the words used to interpret musical works (such as those of Beethoven), the words used to channel musical practices (whether Bach's, Rousseau's, or Hispanic political protesters'), and the words used to represent music (whether in a dialogue by Plato, in a story by Balzac, or in an Italian popular song). The contributors consider the ways that music may slide by words, as in the performance of an Akpafu dirge or in Messiaen, and the ways that music may serve as an embodied figure, as in the writings of Diderot or in the sound and body art of Henri Chopin. The book concludes with an essay by Jean-Luc Nancy.

Download or read book SONOROUS No 1 written by Harold Gutierrez and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SONOROUS No. 1 emphasizes the technical aspects of the first encounter of the young student with the piano. The first seven pieces are written with the primary elements: basic rhythm, coordination of fingers with their numbering response and hands alternation, over black keys. All these based on the principle in which rhythm is the foundation of music understanding; but always with interesting melodies and sophisticated harmonic implications. The next set of pieces includes more elements of music notation such as melodic contour, pitch direction and simple hand coordination, while reading in the staff around the middle C and on C position. Tempo marks, dynamics and accidentals are only used in the second half of the book after solidifying the basic elements. With the teacher's guidance and advice, the student will keep focus on the performance aspects and will build confidence about the new concepts understanding them through their practical use while listening to his/her musical achievements. Theory is not the main aspect in this book; it is not a method. Instead, "music making" is the primary goal acknowledging the capabilities of children in our current high-tech-digital modern era in which the young minds ?absorb? at an incredible pace. Friendly technical material (scales and exercises) can be found as bonus at the end of the book.
