mimicopy.com — Problems of Music Dictation — Home Getting jazz ears | Developing a vivid aural imagination The extent to which your aural imagination is developed, largely determines: the quality of lines you play, how you play those lines (articulation, swing feel, inflection), and the sound you play with. Nothing has such an impact on your playing than your aural imagination. If there were a secret to improvising, developing your aural imagination would be it. Ok, ok. When we go to improvise, we draw from a well of knowledge. The way we hear is the most neglected aspect of practicing improvisation. We all hear differently. Hear and sing intervalsHear and sing specific chord tones while a chord plays in the backgroundHear and sing the roots of a progressionHear a line from a recording and retain it. And the list goes on. Be excited. As you can see from the list above, good jazz ears are a lot more than simply being able to recognize intervals and chord qualities, although that is a small piece of the puzzle. Raising the volume in your head This exercise seems a bit out there, but try it.
Denemo | Free and Open Music Notation Editor Complete Palestrina Edition • Now Online! NTIL RECENTLY, I did not realize the complete works of GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA (d. 1594) are available online. The edition is by Monsignor Francis Xavier Haberl (d. 1910), a student of Proske, and what he produced is nothing short of miraculous. Moreover, his modal sensitivity is not what we might expect from a 19th-century musician. 1 Some might not understand how to read the clefs used by Haberl—but all you have to do is click here. Credit for these marvelous scores belongs to several groups, especially the IMSLP website. But Palestrina wrote more than just Mass settings! Click here to download every piece Palestrina ever composed. THE TREASURES are beyond belief. By the way, the IMSLP website contains numerous authentic part books: We need to ask Nancho Alvarez, the indisputable master of Renaissance scores, to do for Palestrina what he’s done for Victoria, Guerrero, and Morales.
sonicFit Sight singing is the ability to sing musical notation without the aid of an instrument. Sight singing is often called by the name sight reading, and includes the ability to audiate the notation, that is, to hear it in one’s head. Sight reading sometimes refers to the ability to play music notation proficiently on an instrument upon seeing it for the first time without the need to practice it. Unfortunately, this other meaning includes no assumption of aural ability, as the skills required are knowing which keys need to be pressed or other physical processes executed. The meaning of "sight reading" is contextual- if you are referring to aural skills, musicianship, or ear training, then the meaning assumes full aural comprehension of the material. The advanced sight reading generator above produces melodies in several time signatures, clefs, modes (major and minor) and keys. Other exercises At SonicFit, we advocate the use of solfege for sight reading.

györgy ligeti’s artikulation (with score and audio) – The Hum Blog Score for György Ligeti’s Artikulation Following the inexplicable success of my piece focusing on Cornelius Cardew’s Treatise, I thought it might be nice to shine the light on another seminal work from the cannon of avant-garde gestures within Twentieth Century Classical Music – György Ligeti’s Artikulation. Ligeti will be familiar to most. With Iannis Xenakis, Pierre Boulez, Luciano Berio, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, he is one of the most most noted European composers of the Post-War period. His works are imbued with a sensitivity and emotion that I often find less present in his peers. At the time he composed Artikulation, Ligeti had been writing for years, but because most of his early works were lost when he left Hungary, its singularity within his body of work – being one of only a very small number of electronic works he composed, and the fact that it predates his seminal groundbreaking work Atmosphères from 1961, it is generally considered to be one of his “early-works”.

The A=432 Hz Frequency: DNA Tuning and the Bastardization of Music Brendan D. Murphy, Guest GA=440Hz: Not Quite Music to My Ears Humankind is the largely unwitting victim of a frequency war on our consciousness that has been waged for decades, if not millennia. In modern history in particular, there has been what Dr. The American Federation of Musicians had already accepted the A440 as standard pitch in 1917, and the U.S. government followed suit in 1920. It is interesting, also, to note that in October 1953, despite the British and Nazi push for the arbitrary A=440 standard (which is “disharmonic” vis à vis the physico-acoustic laws of creation governing reality), a referendum of 23,000 French musicians voted overwhelmingly in favour of A=432Hz. “This [A=432 Hz] tuning was unanimously approved at the Congress of Italian musicians in 1881 and recommended by the physicists Joseph Sauveur and Felix Savart as well as by the Italian scientist Bartolomeo Grassi Landi.” The Vibration of Sound Note the visible light spectrum and colour wavelengths.
