	Precompositional - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, precompositional decisions are those decisions which a composer decides upon before or while beginning to create a composition.
		Precompositional decisions may also include which key, scale, musical form, style, genre, or idiom in which to write, to use techniques such as the twelve tone technique, serialism, or not to use a system at all.
		On the other hand the concept of precompositional decisions is unclear as it is often impossible to determine which decisions occur before or during a composition.

		In music (music: An artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner), precompositional decisions are those decisions which a composer (composer: Someone who composes music as a profession) decides upon before or while beginning to create a composition (composition: A mixture of ingredients).

		For Lévi-Strauss there were precompositional considerations, but he said what they were (and they couldn't be represented by anything, one of the Viennese atonalists might write).
		Lévi-Strauss explains the elements from which he derives his “first level of articulation” as “drawn from nature.” But does the precompositional whole-tone structure from which the phrase in bars 9-11 (Schoenberg, Op.
		What Lévi-Strauss regarded as the irreplaceable elements of “a first level of articulation” have in fact been replaced, in bars 9-11, by another kind of precompositional structure which is just as “natural,” the division of the twelve-tone semitonal and “chromatic” scale into its two whole-tone partitions.

		But to move from the abstract precompositional structure of triadic and tonal relations to the composition itself means to interrupt and then to restore those relations.
		It is only in the precompositional array that this symmetry is always literally and uninterruptedly unfolded.
		The compositional interpretation of the precompositional symmetrical array constantly interrupts and restores that symmetry.

		They are genuinely compositional, in that they represent elaborate reasoned choices made from a background of systematic possibilities ; yet their structure may not always be expected to emerge straightforwardly as the structure of the finished music.
		Even in the very domains in which precompositional specifications are made-typically those of pitch-class succession and register, and, to some extent, of duration and dynamics-these constructions are not ultimately authoritative.
		Their organization remains open to interaction with subsequent, less obviously constrained choices that can significantly affect the music's experienced movement in these domains ; and occasionally they are subject to outright violation, in pursuit of local configurations that cannot reasonably be regarded as mistakes.

	Quoting Cage compositions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is important to remember that Cage retained intention, as a composer, by choosing the precompositional givens he came up with that were decided upon by chance--"the questions that are asked," as he put it.
		In most of his pieces, there's not an infinite supply of such precompositional givens, but in fact restrictions of various kinds.
		Also, Cage's own taste shows up after his turn to chance composition: in certain solos from the Song Books, in deciding how many stars to trace once chance determines which color to trace (in the Freeman Etudes), in how many wing words to remove (in I-VI).

		In their simplest form, such schemes involve ostinati—distinctive musical figures usually one or two measures in length that repeat continuously.
		Such precompositional schemes are one of Crawford’s responses to the central dilemma of modernist music: how to create musical structure, continuity, and closure in the absence of the organizing power of traditional tonality.
		Crawford’s music often combines two or more independent melodic lines in a texture she described as “heterophonic.” She used this term in a special way—to refer to a kind of hyper-polyphony, in which melodies are deliberately uncoordinated with each other.

		Musicians study music theory in order to be able to understand the relationships that a composer or songwriter expects to be understood in the notation, and composers study music theory in order to be able to understand how to produce effects and to structure their own works.
		Composers may study music theory in order to guide their precompositional and compositional decisions.
		Broadly speaking, music theory in the Western tradition focuses on harmony and counterpoint, and then uses these to explain large scale structure and the creation of melody.

		I am suggesting, however, that when the use of computers becomes incorporated as an integral part of our musical culture (which is happening already in ever wider circles of musical activity), it will stimulate and invigorate the imaginations of all composers, musicians, and their audiences.
		While some aspects of precomposition may be worked out rather thoroughly in advance, there is invariably some element of the piece "telling the composer how it should be written" as it unfolds, requiring some additional precompositional consideration or reconsideration.
		The user is able to move smoothly from precompositional possibilities to simple compositional events to large-scale blocks of complex sounds, without being forced into getting his/her hands dirty at an extremely local level of individual note information.

	Harold en Italie
		Harold en Italie's hero, of course, is Berlioz himself: he had already described the vistas, pilgrim's march, and mountaineer's serenade in a string of articles that began in 1832 (later absorbed into his Voyage musical en Allemagne et en Italie, 1843, one of the primary sources for the Mémoires, 1870).
		The text that became chapters 38—40 of the Mémoires amounts to a level of precompositional activity strongly parallel the Fantastique's program.
		At first glance Harold en Italie seems the least progressive of Berlioz's symphonies, to be numbered among the relatively few conservative works of the fertile decade from 1830 that saw the breathtaking advances of the Requiem, Cellini, and the Nuits d'été as well as the third and fourth symphonies.

	Through-composed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In musical theater, works with no spoken dialogue, such as Les Miserables are usually referred to by the term "sung-through," even though this is technically innacurate as there are obviously places where there is no singing, but instead only orchestral music.
		A work composed chronologically (from the beginning of the piece to the end, in order) without a precompositional formal plan is also through-composed.

		The pattern of transposition may be either by a repeated interval, an interval cycle, or a stepwise line of whole and semitones.
		The pattern is said to be privileged because it requires no context and is a precompositional technique.

		And questions of the sort can indeed be answered in respect to the totally organized serial music of the 1950s.
		Every pitch, rhythm, timbre, dynamic, envelope, and so on can be derived from the work's 'precompositional assumptions' by means of simple or slightly less simple mathematics.
		Although the precompositional aspect is important to him, before he even sits down to write, he must have an image of the entire piece, how it begins and how it'll end up.

		In the years that followed, Rochberg became intrigued with the possibilities inherent in the Second Viennese School, which inspired a series of works, but by 1959 he had begun to search for compositional alternatives to both serialism and chance.
		In a seminal article written that year, "Indeterminacy in the New Music," Rochberg discussed the ways in which composers who were devoted to the precompositional solutions of total organization paradoxically faced problems similar to those encountered by composers who wished to make chance a principle of composition.
		Rochberg's argument was anchored in a constructive dilemma shared by many composers of the period, and his article concluded with a plea for a direct and intimate connection between the maker of sounds and the sounds they made.

		Many of these works employ what I call "polychordal scales" - that is, scales which are formed by the superimposition of triads or 7th chords.
		Some of my earlier pieces employ other precompositional processes such as 12-tone and allegoric techniques.

	Notes to "Continua for Orchestra" by R. Morris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It was then fashionable to consider a piece of music as determined by the interaction of various "parameters" such as pitch, loudness, timbre, etc. I was interested in how one could equate, thereby balance, changes in one parameter against changes in another.
		To this end, the precompositional plans of a work were quite general, and in principle any number of works could be generated from one such schedule or strategy.
		Continua was the most ambitious of these pieces and helped confirm and refine my musical hypotheses.

		One can imagine both the benefits from such an arrangement and the difficulties they introduced.
		Working with a series of recorded sine wave bleeps requires a thorough understanding of the finished piece as these precompositional stages do not even closely resemble the net result.
		Mort was indeed a master at this, using these tracks to determine not only the start of an event, but it's spacial location, amplitude and frequency components.
