Transformation In music, a transformation is any operation or process that may be applied to a musical variable, usually a set or tone row in twelve tone music, such as transposition, inversion, multiplication, retrograde, or rotation and combinations thereof. Transformation is also the process by which normal cells are converted into cells that will continue to divide without limit. See linear transformation, transformation geometry, transformation group ; also infinitesimal transformation. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/transformation

Learn more about Folk music in the online encyclopedia. Other examples of this transformation have occurred with bluegrass (a development of American old time music), which is often referred to as a kind of folk music, as well as with the use of traditional music in country music (itself a development of both bluegrass and old time music). Music which was created in this way before the rise of mass communications and mass media is now termed "traditional music," i.e., the traditional music of particular ethnic groups learned by ear, that is, as part of an oral tradition, and played on acoustic instruments or sung with unaccompanied voice. Sometimes, however, the exponents of amplified music were bands such as Fairport Convention, Pentangle and Steeleye Span who saw the electrification of traditional musical forms as a means whereby to reach a far wider audience, and their efforts have been largely recognised for what they were by even some of the most die-hard of purists. www.onlineencyclopedia.org /f/fo/folk_music.html   (584 words)

Twelve-tone technique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Music using the technique is called twelve-tone music. Invariant formations are also the side effect of derived rows where a segment of a set remains similar or the same under transformation. Durations, dynamics and other aspects of music other than the pitch can be freely chosen by the composer, and there are also no rules about which tone rows should be used at which time (beyond them all being derived from the prime series, as already explained). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Twelve_tone_technique   (259 words)

Musical development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Musical development is the transformation and restatement of initial material, often contrasted with musical variation, with which it may be difficult to distinguish as a general process. The musical form which traditionally exploits development to the fullest is the sonata form, though development may be used with all other forms. Listeners may apprehend a "tension between expected and real results" (see irony,) which is one "element of surprise" in music. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Musical_development   (203 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church Music The secular and semi-ecclesiastical or simply religious music of the Middle Ages had a decisive influence in the transformation of polyphonic music into the harmonic or homophonic, and a comparison between the various styles is a great aid in determining the character of genuine church music. Whenever music, instead of assuming a character of independence and mere ornament, acts as an auxiliary to the other means of promoting the worship of God and as an incentive to good, it not only does not interfere with the religious ceremony, but, on the contrary, imparts to it the greatest splendour and effectiveness. The object of the society is to cultivate the chant, polyphony, hymns in the vernacular, organ-playing, and orchestral music in conformity with the regulations of the Church. www.newadvent.org /cathen/10648a.htm   (9652 words)

CTheory.net Noise, then is subjective, and this is what vexes the Law, which exists, according to Jacques Attali, as result of the transformation of noise into music, into a regulated system, which heralds all regulated systems, all that comes from the buried sacrifice at the origin of society. Music, according to Attali, is "the organization of noise".[23] Noise has an existence outside of our conscious control, which is partly natural, partly social environmental: "life is full of noise and [...] death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, noise of beast".[24] Life, then, is rationalised, brought into line, and rigorously limited. Noise music becomes ambience not as you learn how to listen, or when you accept its refusal to settle, but when you are no longer in a position to accept or deny. www.ctheory.net /text_file.asp?pick=314   (5580 words)

The object of the society is to cultivate the chant, polyphony, hymns in the vernacular, organ-playing, and orchestral music in conformity with the regulations of the Church.

Postmodern music Cage speaks of a fundamental transformation of musical ontology (intentional expression with sounds) into a theoretical discourse on music which is realized in the location and under the circumstances in which the performance of a musical work is expected (the intentional creation of sounds). However, the music of postmodernity is thought to differ from that of modernity in that whereas modern music was valued for its fundamentals and expression, postmodern music is valued as both a commodity and a symbolic indicator of identity. For example, one significant role of music in postmodern society is to act as a language by which people can signify their identity as a member of a particular subculture. www.jahsonic.com /PostmodernMusic.html   (259 words)

Electroacoustic Music for the Flute: chapter 1 Electroacoustics is a field of study dealing with the transformation of energy between electrical forms and acoustical forms. The expansion of the music written for the flute has natural limitations, and it is this that helps electroacoustic music to be an approachable extension of flute repertoire. The sounds that are being made are music, of course, and are the expressions of the composers will, personality, and emotions — the art of the composing is as human as that of composers of the past, and of painters, writers, or poets. www.subliminal.org /flute/dissertation/ch01.html   (3628 words)

Romani World The overbearing Arabic character is there and, as in their other musical pursuits, the Roma have refined and improvised, contributing much to its transformation into, and sustaining it, as an attractive and vibrant art form. New music and jazz coming from America at the turn of the century was enlivened by Gypsy orchestras and bands creating several versions of what might be called "standards". Gypsy music is a distinct and rich domain with a highly varied content. www.romaniworld.com /musique.htm   (628 words)

Dictionary of Meaning www.mauspfeil.net In music, '''identity''' is similar to identity in universal algebra. An identity function is a permutation or transformation which transforms a pitch or pitch class set into itself. In addition to being a property of a specific set, identity is, by extension, the "family" of sets or set forms which satisfy a possible identity. www.mauspfeil.net /Identity_%28music%29.html   (628 words)

Suppression and Transformation of the Mother Pat Cadigan explores the male cyborg’s hatred of the flesh and his transformation within the Matrix at some length in her 1991 book Synners..;.; The book is titled after its "synner" characters who make their living synthesizing rock music into virtual experiences for fans. Their harsh critique of patriarchal concepts of motherhood was sometimes taken as a judgment that having a baby in the face of a population explosion or without first dismantling the patriarchy might be ill-judged or irresponsible. Her model works well in women’s science fiction, and my analysis covers the latter two categories, the shift from feminist to female occurring in the mid eighties. www.perspective.com /susan/WSFSuppressionofMother.html   (628 words)

Race & Ethnicity: hooks: Misogyny, Gangsta... To take "gangsta rap" to task for its sexism and misogyny while critically accepting and perpetuating those expressions of that ideology which reflect bourgeois standards (no rawness, no vulgarity) is not to call for a transformation of the culture of patriarchy. The positive music review of this album, written by Christopher John Farley, is titled "Gangsta Rap, Doggystyle" makes no mention of sexism and misogyny, makes no reference to the cover. When I counter this demonization of black males by insisting that gangsta rap does not appear in a cultural vacuum, but, rather, is expressive of the cultural crossing, mixings, and engagement of black youth culture with the values, attitudes, and concerns of the white majority, some folks stop listening. eserver.org /race/misogyny.html   (628 words)

SOUND COMPRESSION/INTERPOLATION BY GRANULATION The technique has been applied for sound processing mainly for music composition [9][10], where as a similar technique called wavelet transformation is applied mainly for sound and image processing in engineering. Sound granulation was originally proposed in 1946 for narrow band communication and has been applied for electro-acoustic music since 1970s. By applying this technique, time-compression at the sender side and time-expansion at the receiver, sound compression and reconstruction with interpolation by granulation can be achieved. www.brunel.ac.uk /~eesttti/papers/aes108p.html   (628 words)

Technological and Social Drivers of Change in the Online Music Industry While digital music is attractive in terms of the quality of the listening experience, music in a digital form has facilitated the development of the downloading phenomenon that is at the center of the major transformation of the music industry. The traditional music industry is particularly threatened by the possibilities of these peer-to-peer technologies because one of its key consumer groups, those under 18, are highly computer-literate and, typically, are not old enough to obtain a credit card (Garlick, 2000), thereby ostensibly reducing their ability to make purchases over the Internet. One reason that consumers purchase music (as opposed to listening to it for free on the radio or elsewhere) is to gain temporal control, i.e., to control when and where we listen to music (Lacher, 1989). www.firstmonday.dk /issues/issue7_2/fox/index.html   (8324 words)

Untitled Document The story had novelty: the myth of Pan and Syrinx was not often treated in the 18 th century, and although it shares general characteristics with other well-known transformation myths like Apollo and Daphne, the pacing and variety of Theobald’s libretto keep the audience engaged from start to finish. The excellent dance music (the melody of one of these dances was “borrowed” by Handel for use in his Terpsichore) shows strong French influences, the arias have sweet Italianate melodies combined with learned German harmony, and the short but exquisite chorus “Whilst our Harmony” hearkens back to the great Purcell’s stage works. The corrections made to existing music show the care Galliard was taking with the 1726 version: they mostly comprise improvements in harmony and subtle changes to the flow of the melodies. www.oudemuziek.nl /english/FOM/fom2004/uitvoerders/galliardart.htm   (2771 words)

[No title] The Beatles began their transformation of popular music in the early 1960s but, as some of his fans became stars in their own right, Lonnie Donegan's reputation as a musical innovator soared. Donegan's enthusiastic espousal of skiffle, blues, gospel and American folk music was instrumental in igniting the 1960s British blues revival. music was a mixture of folk, jazz, gospel and the blues. members.lycos.co.uk /mattblack28/photoalbum0.html   (2989 words)

Finnish Music Information Centre Through their efforts and those of many other composers, Finnish music went through a rapid stylistic transformation, first encompassing international Neoclassicism in the 1940s, then twelve-tone music in the 1950s, and the latest novelties of the avantgarde in the early 1960s, from field and cluster techniques to improvisation, happenings and electroacoustic music. Another dimension in this music is Orthodox mysticism, which breaks forth in the bell-like tolling in the opening section, "Jumalanäidin kuolema" (Death of the Mother of God) and the chord painting of "Blakernajan musta Jumalanäiti" (The Black Mother of God of Blakernaya). Englund cultivated traditional genres in his piano music, as represented by the sonata (1978) and two sonatinas (1966, 1984) and two-movement works such as the aforementioned "Introduzione e toccata", "Pavane e toccata" (1983) and "Preludium and Fughetta" (1986). www.fimic.fi /fimic/fimic.nsf/82c219a4e9e6055e422566c0004a78d3/648cb108d83611dbc225677c003b1d12!OpenDocument   (2478 words)
