	Tonic (music) Information
		The tonic is the first note of a musical scale, and in the tonal method of musical composition it is extremely important.
		The tonic remains the same in these two different "modes," for a given key, whereas scale degrees such as the third degree and the sixth degree are altered in the minor scale.
		A tonic may be considered a tonal center, while a pitch center functions referentially or contextually in an atonal context, often acting as axis or line of symmetry in an interval cycle (Samson 1977).

	Tonality, Modality and Atonality
		Arguably, music in major and minor keys is also modal, but due to the need to separate these categories, it is best to reserve the term "modality" for music that uses other modes.
		Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951), who believed that music was evolving necessarily and inevitably toward pantonality, where all tones are equalized in importance, tried to rush to what he believed to be its inexorable outcome and claim priority of the new "discovery" before Josef Hauer (1883-1959).
		Composers of atonal music try to avoid all reminders of tonal music, evading major and minor chords (tertian chords in general), scales, keys, dominant functions, regular rhythms, repetition, etc. This means that atonality is psychoacoustical; i.e., it depends, at least partly, upon individual sensibilities and subjectivity.

	Theory on the Web - Definitions
		Music of this period and style functions in certain ways that best define our concept of tonal harmony.
		Although music written outside this period (and some of the music written during this period) may not function completely according to the harmonic "rules" of tonal theory, it may have similar traits.
		For example, scale degree seven usually resolves to tonic, and a V chord that proceeds to a I/i chord is said to have resolved.

	D. Huron, An Ear for Music
		The human experience of music engages the basic physiological and psychological systems related to "preparedness" or "readiness." In this chapter, we introduce four components of "readiness," and demonstrate how these systems influence the experience and organization of music.
		As we will see, music influences the listener's state of arousal; music can be used like a sedative or tranquilizer or like a stimulant or pep-pill.
		A lesser factor influencing tonic arousal is age; peak arousal levels are higher for children and gradually decline with increasing years.

		Tonic is such a venue in the way it fosters experimentation, the intermixing of styles and genres and in its openness to a variety of types of musicians.
		Tonic has been a platform for exchange and sharing since it opened in 1998, where music is redifined in the moment it is made, and experienced.
		Tonic is a staple in the New York City music sceen and its survival is vital to the future of all experimentation and originality.

	John Curwen and Tonic Sol-fa
		The Tonic Sol-fa method of teaching vocal music was codified by an English Congregational minister, the Reverend John Curwen (1816-1880) who drew upon a number of earlier European and English music teaching systems including an indigenous English music teaching method known as Norwich Sol-fa (Rainbow, 1967, pp.150-151).
		It was this isolation from the mainstream of music printed in staff notation which was to lead to the eventual decline of tone sol-fa as a choral singing method.
		The tonic sol-fa method was also officially adopted by educational authorities overseas, one of the earliest to do so being the Council of Education in the Australian colony of New South Wales in 1867 (Stevens, 1980, p.81).

	Bansuri Flutes by Sri BansuriJeff from Buckingham Music
		The Bansuri with its pastoral association and the chosen instrument of Lord Krishna, is one of the oldest musical instruments of India: it is mentioned in the Vedas and is depicted in the Buddhist art of 2,000 years ago.
		Although the Bansuri is among the most ancient musical instruments of India, its status as a concert instrument for north Indian classical music is a relatively recent phenomenon.
		A seven finger hole bansuri in the narrow bore with the tonic G is the bamboo flute most similar to the western instrument.

		That’s about the only thing that can be said to the news that Tonic, one of the city’s most popular small clubs—to musicians and fans alike—will be closing next month, with the last night of music being lucky Friday the 13th.
		Tonic was like that for me, except it was a venue, not a song.
		Tonic has been in trouble for many years and for many reasons, not the least of which is the state of the creaky building in which it's housed.

		It would be a little mean-spirited and maybe wrong to dismiss the bicoastal outfit Tonic as so much bad company running with the pack of Led Zep-influenced guitar bands.
		At this point, Tonic's identity is dictated by Hart's '60s and '70s-influenced lyrical bent, which happens to dovetail nicely with Russo's predilection for Bad Company.
		Whether Tonic can let go of the past remains to be heard.

	[smt-list] re: music/syntax/tonic/etc.
		There was an article some years ago in _Music Perception_ titled "Spun Steel and Stardust" that investigated why audiences rejected "contemporary" music, and the suggested conclusion was not that dissonance per se in a piece turned people off but rather whether a piece lacked recognizable syntactic elements.
		Radically atonal music seems to appeal to mass audiences just fine-n-dandy in, say, horror or other s-f movie settings; and, e.g., Penderecki pulled out all the available stops of atonal compositional technique in his _St.
		Yet I've also heard many more stories of people who felt decidedly pressured to conform to some sort of serial or other atonal orthodoxy if they wanted to get their music heard; and I've personally experienced a continuing "only atonal, and especially muy mucho complex atonal, is worthwhile" mindset in some quarters.
