	Polytonality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bitonality was used quite often by members of the French group, Les Six, and especially by Darius Milhaud, who perhaps used it more than any other composer.
		Although the word bitonality is most often used when talking about relatively modern classical music (written in the last one hundred years or so), it is quite a common technique in folk music, especially in eastern Europe.
		Bartók also uses the white-key and fl-key collections (diatonic scale and its penatonic complement) in no.6 of the Eight Improvisations, with the pentatonic as foreground, and in mm.50-51 of the third movement of his Fourth Quartet, with the diatonic as foreground.

		The Sonatina is a good piece in which to explore polytonality and chromaticism, with a lyrical first movement, a somewhat somber, expressive slow movement, and a brilliant final movement, full of rhythmic vitality.
		This short piece is a good introduction to French Conservatory style literature, incorporating lyrical style and tempo changes typical of the period without the technical demands of the Morceau de Concours by Faure.
		The piece is an example of the 19th century bravura style with theme and variations.

		Like the Bach motet listed above this is a wonderful introduction to Mozart for those younger groups who are definitely ready for something more substantial than a single movement work but aren't quite ready or large enough to handle the more difficult large Masses.
		When my group first did them there was some discontent at first, but as the pieces came together they all got into them andfound the emotional impact of the complete set quite moving.
		This piece (from the musical "Purlie") opens with a true "walkin'" gospel feel with the choir humming in unison followed by a solo for alto (G3 is the lowest note).

		While initially polytonality referred to simply to "contrapuntally juxtaposed tonalities" it quickly was applied to any "simultaneous tonalities...that cross, overlap, complement or even oppose each other." (Reti, 1958) A well known example is the fanfare at the beginning of Igor Stravinsky's ballet, Petrushka.
		The first clarinet plays a melody in C major, while the second clarinet plays the same melody in F sharp major: image:Stravinsky-petrushka-fanfare.png Although this example consists of just two melodic lines, some examples of bitonality contrast fully harmonised sections of music in different keys.
		Hindemith called polytonality a, "self-contradictory expression which, if it is to possess any meaning at all, can be used only to designated a certain degree of expansion of the individual elements of a well-defined harmonic or voice-leading unit." (Beach 1983) See also: List of pieces which use polytonality.

	Dan Lippel - Guitarist
		The motivation for using these textures is consistent with how he employs the collage technique- eclectic sounds are brought in not for the fetishistic pleasure of being contrary, but in the service of drawing on emotional associations with a shared knowledge of music history.
		At approximately the midpoint of the piece, the direction of the melodic material shifts- what had been exclusively descending motion previously becomes ascending motion (this awareness of the work’s proportions was present in Etude and Ricercare as well, where the third voice entered at the halfway point of the Ricercare).
		Any large scale variation piece has to marry the disparate elements of a constantly repetitive formal structure (the skeleton of the theme which returns every variation) and the larger architecture of the piece as a whole.

		He was able to incorporate the power of atonality and the evocative logic of melody, and he even managed to incorporate noise (cluster chords, mistake noises) and mock-effects (some pieces use ultra-fast repeated notes like a primitive kind of echo).
		His harmonic and orchestrational skill is perhaps most evident in the later live-musician-realised pieces, which draw out the clever touches that often hidden by the potent shock of the pianola-only recordings.
		Nancarrow's early pieces are affective, even rather touching ('2' and '6' are astonishingly beautiful pieces of music, with hints of, dare I say it, sentimentality).

	Developing A 21st Century Baroque Musical Language -- Gregory Hall, Composer
		Using Ravel and Couperin as a model, Mr.
		Hall's Le Tombeau de Honegger is essentially a neoclassic composition, in which only the pitch style differs from earlier composers, not the generally enjoyable rhythms and tempi.
		Another aspect of music which has become increasingly important to me since '96 is the application of traditional voice leading concepts to my "non-traditional" harmony and melody.

		When two fourth-frame chords are used in a disjunct manner, the decision as to which of two kakuons next to each other should be more important is based on the theory of narrow melodic construction.
		It is commonly used in group songs or songs with the instrumental accompaniment of shamisen or drums.
		A counter-line without a key signature is introduced by a chord (E, F, A-flat) which might be a diminished version of the miyako-bushi fourth-frame chord (E, F, A), with the note A altered to A-flat.

	[No title]
		You do not need five-lines or three-lines (which serve to prolong the tonic triad) and so on for a musical utterance to cohere; those sorts of linear connections are merely secondary results of the way musical tones are heard--they are relevant to musical coherence, but they are not determinative for it.
		Assumptions that all pieces in one or all of of these kinds of very broad categories (such as tonality or atonality) are condemned or cited as failures, experiments, or successes strike me as strange indeed under these conditions.
		I use tonal in two (at least) senses: (a) having a central tone from which one in some sense departs and to which in some sense one returns, and (b) having chords and modulating while doing that.

	Robert D. Polansky, Nonpop New Music Composer
		The piece begins with the chorus singing, in a hushed tone, two slow-moving, mildly dissonant chords to the ancient Hebrew word, daka, meaning "crushed." The word appears in the original, Hebrew language version of verse 3, which in translation reads, in part, "You return man to a crushed state [that is, dust].
		The modern terms used in the English translation, trumpet, pipes, lute, etc., are only meant to provide an idea of the nature of the instruments so far as we can discern from descriptions in post-biblical writings.
		This is evident from the earliest biblical accounts, in which song and instrumental music are described as an integral part of daily worship in the ancient temple.

		There is, however, a preliminary consideration to be made: this piece of music, more than others, asks for cooperation, lots of it, and it will not satisfy listeners who are unwilling to award it with such cooperation.
		In general, it steps forward by means of constant and cumulative repetitions, which gradually produce a snowball effect, inevitably submerging its listeners: very brief themes are reiterated and lengthened in the process, thus leading to immensely long bars, which cause one, literally, to skip a heartbeat.
		The third movement, in particular, conveys a sense of gloominess which is so desperate it may be thought of as pure madness.

		Where the Europeans were moving in the direction of atonality (no key signatures), Ives and some others began working with polytonality (two or more key signatures at the same time).
		Probably best-known for an early student piece, the extremely beautiful Adagio for Strings, Barber was also at times a strident Modernist, as Medea's Dance of Vengeance shows.

		There was exuberant dissonance, no noise, no Cagian aleatrorics, no atonality, no arythmic or polyrhythmic sections, no polytonality, no serialism, no phase music, no minimalism - in fact nothing that would have seemed cutting-edge to someone sitting in that recital hall 100 or even 150 years ago.
