  For Ann (rising) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
For Ann (rising) is a piece of electronic music created by James Tenney in 1969.
Each rising sine-wave-like glissando, between twelve and fifteen rising at any time, fades in and out, all entering a minor sixth below their predecessors, rising from the infrasonic to ultrasonic range, from below to above the ability to perceive pitch.
One simultaneously perceives the lines as forming one continuously rising line, yet one is constantly aware of shifts in perception from line to line or lines.

 Act I. Shaw, Bernard. 1903. Man and Superman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Well, Ann has a most exquisite nature; but she is so accustomed to be in the thick of that sort of thing that she thinks a man’s character incomplete if he is not ambitious.
Ann is a well formed creature, as far as that goes; and she is perfectly ladylike, graceful, and comely, with ensnaring eyes and hair.
Ann: as your guardian, I order you to go to Violet at once and be particularly kind to her.

 Act IV. Shaw, Bernard. 1903. Man and Superman
[rising, and approaching her with a scrutiny in which there is a good deal of reluctant respect] You seem a pretty straightforward downright sort of a young woman.
On their way to the steps Ann sends a little grimace of mute sympathy to Violet, who is standing with her back to the little table, looking on in helpless annoyance as her husband soars to higher and higher moral eminences without the least regard to the old man’s millions.
Ann, musing on Violet’s opportune advice, approaches Tanner; examines him humorously for a moment from toe to top; and finally delivers her opinion.

 INA/Irish History 1798-1967
The life of Mary Ann McCracken, democrat and social reformer, has been overshadowed by the life of her more famous brother, Henry Joy, although she outlived him by 68 years and was politically active until just a few years before her death at the age of 96.
Mary Ann's family, however, were relatively prosperous and by the time of her birth well established and prominent in Belfast social and commercial life.
Mary Ann attributes this to her having earlier been in a relationship with a man who she then discovered to be "living publicly with an actress".

 Bunner Sisters, by Edith Wharton; Part I VII Page 3
It seemed to Ann Eliza that Evelina and her companion would never return from the wood; but they came at length, Mr.
Ramy's brow pearled with perspiration, Evelina pink and conscious, a drooping bunch of ferns in her hand; and it was clear that, to her at least, the moments had been winged.
The wind had a cool tarry breath, as though it had travelled over miles of shipping, and the hiss of the water about the paddles was as delicious as though it had been splashed into their tired faces.

Ann Koi was raised by US Government employees (like wolves, only different) during the last decades of the Cold War.
The 1980s, Ann is found to remark, were a magical time when nightmares were real, heroes didn't exist, and any children's character could be a child molester.
By 2001, Ann had been to 46 of the 50 United states (with souvenir shotglasses to prove it) and 3 Canadian provinces, but had still not left the North American continent.

For Ann (rising) was the last electronic work Tenney wrote before leaving New York City for California, and subsequently Toronto (where he now lives).
For Ann (rising) is based on a set of continuously rising tones, similar to the acoustic illusion sometimes called a Shepard-tone (named after the pioneering experimental psychologist Roger Shepard, a colleague of Tenney's at Bell Labs).
For Ann (rising) has at various times been called a classic of American minimalism, process music, or conceptual music.

 James Tenney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He also studied information theory under Lejaren Hiller, and composed stochastic early computer music before turning almost completely to writing for instruments with the occasional tape delay, often using just intonation and alternative tunings.
His work deals simply and artfully with perception (For Ann (rising), see Shepard tone), just intonation (Clang, see gestalt), stochastic elements (Music for Player Piano), information theory (Ergodos, see Ergodic theory), and with what he calls 'swell' (Koan: Having Never Written A Note For Percussion (for John Bergamo)), which is basically arch form.
As his friend Philip Corner says, For Ann (rising), "must be optimistic!

 2. Regional situations, trends and projections
Nonetheless, forecast average growth rates (1996-2030) for dairy-cattle populations are 1.4 %/ann in East Asia and 2.2 %/ann in South Asia; and for poultry populations 1.3 %/ann in East Asia and 2.8 %/ann in South Asia.
Thus in South Asia (FAO 2000b), the 1996-2010 projected growth rates of 1.5 %/ann in Bangladesh and of 1.3 %/ann in India contrast with 2.1 %/ann in Nepal and 2.3 %/ann in Pakistan.
In much of the developing world, including East Asia and South Asia, and as a consequence of the age distribution, there is an ongoing and rapid rise, to continue to Year-2020 or thereabouts, in the ratio of prospective workers (and savers) to dependants.

It is a beautiful place known to relatively few, and fewer still who go there for a swim and/or picnic.
We went straight on at the first (about ten minutes walk from where we parked), and then kept left at the second, and there it was, a clearing, a cow pasture really, with the river silently flowing by.
Alan Fincham writes in "Jamaica Underground" that the Dornock River Head is the largest river rising in Jamaica and is known, by water tracing, to be the resurgence for at least two rivers which flow underground, the

 Classical Net Review - Tenney - Selected Works, 1961-1969
Paying close attention to For Ann (rising) can create disorientation in the listener, as he realizes that what he thinks he is hearing is not logically possible.
This is no way diminishes Tenney's achievement, as Ergodos II (for John Cage) is both unique and aurally provocative, as the ear struggles to find the music's form.
Obviously this CD will appeal to a specialized audience, but if you've read this far, you probably know and care about Tenney's work, so let me close by saying that New World has done a bang-up job in preserving this material for the benefit of older listeners, and of introducing it to newer ones.
