	GLOSSARY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		This new systematic approach manifested itself musically in carefully controlled instrumental forms such as fugue, passacaglia, chaconne, concerto, concerto grosso, dance suite, variations, ground bass, etc. It was a time when composers wanted their music to deal with passionate emotions.
		Music was consumed by a literate population interested in music as a hobby, as a diversion and for a simple, easy and pleasant activity.
		The scale used in the music is derived from the phrygian mode The guitar techniques used include tremolo, rasgueado, a flourish of running scales, full chords, arpeggios and tapping the wooden body of the guitar.

	Frequency domain digital encoding technique for musical signals - Patent 4433604
		This technique is described in conjunction with a system which receives an analog musical signal, converts it into digital data in accordance with the principles of the invention, communicates this digital data to a unit which reconverts this digital data into analog form.
		It is generally known that musical instruments do not generate sharp frequency envelopes corresponding exactly to the frequency of the played musical note, but rather are known to generate rather broader spectrum corresponding generally to the frequencies near the frequency corresponding to the played musical note.
		Musical note B has associated therewith primary frequency 711, which is less than the frequency of the musical note and primary frequency 712, which is greater than the frequency of the musical note.

	Perspectives on Music Fall 2000 Glossary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In rock music, the words usually change during the verse, but are repeated in each chorus, which often carries the title of the song.
		Inversion appears periodically throughout music history; it was one of the main kinds of operations used in the twelve-tone method.
		The music for the mass consists of two different elements, the proper, that part of the service which has new words each week, changing according to the liturgical calendar, and the ordinary, that part of the service which remains the same week after week.

	Chapter 6, MUSICAL EXPRESSION from Choral Technique and Interpretation
		MUSICAL EXPRESSION Of the many factors which go to make a pleasing and successful musical performance, the most important is that combination of colouring, intensi- fying, and shading which we term Expression in music.
		This pre-eminence of musical expression is so universally felt that singers and instrumentalists take their rank more from possessing the power to sing or play with expression than from possessing a good voice or digital dexterity.
		They have grown so accustomed to the lack of spring in the music they most frequently hear, that the absence of rhythmic pulsation does not strike them as it does the general public, who, though critical and conscious of a lack of some- thing, are not analytical enough to hit upon the true explanation.

	Fractals and Music
		The technique is so versatile that you can use it to create music in any style, and it has great potential for adding an exciting new element to your music.
		Of course, as with any other "system of composition," it is ultimately the composer's musical talent that determines the quality of a piece of music; plugging in some parameters and pushing a few buttons is not going to produce a masterpiece.
		In the hands of a skilled composer, however, fractal music can serve as a source of inspiration and as a tool for raw musical material, which can later be developed, incorporated, and refined.

	Musical Techniques
		This solution is usually incorporated by people who have spent years using only piano roll, often can not read music very well and are not in a habit of considering what all the other instruments will be doing when they are composing for any one instrument.
		Essentially they don't know how to use musical notation so they don't miss its absence and are not capable of understanding how it must function within a sequencer for it to be useful to a composer.
		Musicator GS for windows in now in its 3rd generation and incorporates digital audio but some of the key features were dropped when they went from DOS to windows and they are very slowly being re-incorporated into the program though it is now much more powerful in many other ways.

	ROSENBERG ARCHIVE - Rosenberg, Chaos and the Violin
		The ramifications were wild, the whole future of music was on the line.
		Rosenberg realised that if you were going to use noise to create new structures in violin music, more exacting methods would first have to be found to measure the existing ones.
		In an attempt to recreate the magnificent music, he utilised the creative power of turbulence by putting a couple of his violins in with the next home wash for a few hours.

	John Cage: Choral music (a timeline)
		In Living Room Music they are as the amateurs of the past, sitting around the table at home with their parts and playing for their own pleasure.
		Each consists of ten short sections of music; the piano's music consists of chords of various sizes and dispositions, while each section of the flute's music consists of a single sustained tone.
		Cage himself believed that he was exploring a new approach to the harmonic element in music, and near the end of his life, he studied Schoenberg's harmony textbook for inspiration.

	Technique - a musical approach to all bass techniques that really works
		"Technique is the physical execution of producing the notes from your instrument."
		Aside from basic exercises to condition your hands and to build strength and endurance, technique should come more from the practicing of playing music than from just exercises alone.
		Most of the technique portion of my program is in the practice of the styles, reading, and scales part of the course.

	The Musical Times: Alban Berg 1885-1935 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		German music is almost completely demobilised; France and Italy bring forward innocent little pieces and tame pasticcios; the music of the Russians fulfils, perhaps, cultural duties of significance, but it is, speaking from the point of view of musical history, continually ante-1914, to my thinking.
		One tone, one chord, a single movement, three, four notes in melodic succession, are in their musical apperception the substratum of such unutterable and intense musical emotion that it becomes practically impossible in these sound-areas to make music freely and completely in the manner of Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, or Palestrina.
		The musical interpreter Berg has been able to save his musicianship by becoming a musical dramatist; that is to say, by putting his inventive powers to the service of an idea in itself outside music.

	Music Education - Class Instruction
		Then a lesson in composition is first of all a discussion about esthetics, sometimes indeed a debate, a conversation and an exchange of ideas, and there is no reason why it should be addressed to a single percon.
		Such are the motives that lead me to find class-teaching superior to individual teaching in everything that relates to general technique, from the beginning to the end, while preserving a marked preference for individual teaching in all that concerns the study of singing, or of any instrument.
		Then, in most of the large cities also, there are Conservatories, of which we have not yet spoken, but which 'constitute a powerful element of expansion in musical instruction for the amateur as well as for the professional.

		The musician with an ugly sound may have great dexterity, which is but one aspect of technique, but he does not have a great technique.
		A complete technique implies the ability to play legato and sostenuto, in a wide range of dynamics and articulations, in every imaginable colour.

	Peter Huebner Institute of Academic Harmony - Technique of Musical Comparison - Music Theory 2 - Logic of the Musical ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The technique of comparison is based on the dual function of our intellect which we previously described as being on the one hand:
		At the same time, these two processes of musical cognition, outer cognition of the music listener and inner cognition of the composer, are submitted to a comparison by our self-awareness.
		This comparison between the musical insights of our feeling and of our understanding puts our intellect, and therewith our musical process of knowing, into the state of a self-sufficient eigenfunction.

	Removing The Barriers To Musical Expression : Lesson by Jamie Andreas
		Guitar virtuoso, recording artist, composer, and teacher of 30 years, Jamie is recognized by music experts around the globe for her major contribution to the advancement of guitar education.
		It is to take what we are feeling in response to the music (the "im-pression" the music has made upon us) and to make someone else feel it through the medium of the music itself (to "ex-press" it).
		To gain the technique we need to express our musical desires, after not having it, is like suddenly growing wings and being able to fly, after merely crawling, earthbound.

	Chapter 6, (part 2) MUSICAL EXPRESSION from Choral Technique and Interpretation
		Formerly this kind of singing was tabooed to such an extent that when in rehearsals and at concerts I induced the Sheffield Musical Union to sing with graphic power, musicians of the old school voted me a mad enthusiast, extravagant, theatrical, ultra, and many other things of the same sort.
		Therefore all tricky phrases must be specially dealt with by being classed as trick-singing, and the music reiterated for a short time every night, first slowly, then gradually quicker and quicker till the desired effect is realised.
		In these cases the singers follow the musical accent, whereas the rhetorical accent, in which the second syllable is sung delicately, should always be followed if the characteristic feature of the word is to be imparted to the listener.
