How Music Should Be Portrayed And Performed

When the civilizations were first invented, there was a lot of chaos and confusion. This led to the invention of the different forms of writing. Each civilization had a form of writing for

To understand why music is a product of human intention and perception, we start by defining or understanding the nature of music. Music is defined as the sounds or combination of vocals and instruments in a way that it produces a form of beauty, expression, or harmony of emotions. Arguably, people compose or make music through many ways (Resnicow, Joel E., 20-29). While some people might compose music without incorporating instruments, others use instruments to produce beats that match with their sounds. However, to argue that the

In this chapter, Diamond discusses writing and the causes behind its development. Diamond explains that there were three basic strategies used to create a writing system in which signs would be used to represent sounds, words, or syllables. Few of these writing system were independently created while other were influenced by existing systems due to the difficulty of creating writing and the existence of nearby writing systems. One independently created writing the Sumerian cuneiform started with pictures depicting objects then words and was further developed when phonetic signs were used to write letters, syllables, abstract words, and determinatives. These writing systems developed as long as a society

In the middle of the 19th century, it was said that the monasteries in Europe began developing notations for Gregorian chant using neumes* or the earliest musical notation. The roots of modern musical notation symbols are originally from the Roman Catholic Church.

Now, when most of people spoke and read in French rather than in Latin, typographers started printing in French. The reason why modern French is so complex in spelling is because the typographers were paid by for the length of the words. Since many scholars and leading minds were unsure about all of the rules of French, typographers were able to introduce things that didn’t even existed before in order to receive more money. The cedilla, apostrophe and accents all were introduced by typographers to express the “originality” of French. This made the French writing system so odd, that people ignored it, but the typographers themselves alongside with scholars had to examine everything.

3) Which of the following contains thin lines at the top and bottom of the primary strokes of the font characters?

The Tuscan style typeface, also known as a Tuscan bifurcated or as a fishtailed serif, has an ancient history dating back since the days of the Roman Empire. It was suggested that the bifurcated style was used to suggest the tail of a fish, the fish being an early Christian symbol during the roman times. Furthermore, it is thought that the trifurcated style originated with the Christian scribes who wanted to include the symbol of the trinity in their writing. Later trifurcation was developed as an alternate termination, followed by loops, full fishtails, curls, hooks and other fancy variations.

Few would argue against the idea that we educate ourselves and our society so that we have adequate means with which to understand and interact with elements of the world around us. Subjects such as mathematics, language, history, and the hard sciences are granted immediate and unquestioned legitimacy in our schools, and with good reason. We encounter each of these elements of our lives on a daily basis. We need to have an understanding of these disciplines in order to interact with them, otherwise they are meaningless to us. I submit that the same can be said for the fundamental concepts of music. Music is something that we encounter in our society every day. It surrounds us. Indeed

Music has always been a part of human culture, but it has not always been such a precise or recorded subject. Before Pythagoras, there had never been a system of pitches. He created a system of tuning the basic pitches to create the ordered scale that would dominate the musical practices of the early church in western society. The earliest Western musical notation arose in the hands of the Church. It mainly was used for choral music, plainchant or Gregorian chant, with the notes indicated over the text. However, pitches at this time were still not specified, and the only way of translating the notes was by indicating whether or not the given note was higher or lower than the previous one. Over time, as music evolved, musical notation followed

A single line or I, means one unit or finger. The V represents five fingers. X equaled two hands. The larger Roman numerals most commonly developed from other symbols.

Music has played a vital role in human culture and evidence based on archaeological sites can date it back to prehistoric times. It can be traced through almost all civilizations in one form or another. As time has progressed so has the music and the influences it has on people. Music is an important part of popular culture throughout the world, but it is especially popular in the United States. The music industry here is, and has been, a multi-million dollar business that continues to play an important role in American popular culture. This is also a art form and business that is forever changing as the times and more importantly, technology changes. Technology has changed the way music is made as well as how it is produced,

On a music sheet you can see five horizontal lines with notes scattered across them. These lines are called the staff or a stave. Each line and space is given a letter. A note on A will sound different from one on C.

A patient in acute care has culturally specific music because the family believes it will help the patient. The patient is not cognitively aware and there are other patients in the room. This ethical dilemma questions whether or not the rehab assistant should let the family continue playing the music or to stop since the patient is not cognitively aware and there are other patients in the same room. By asking the family to stop playing the music, conflict may occur as the RA is disrupting their culture healing beliefs. Whereas if they continue to play the music, patients in the same room could become agitated which can create problems between other patients and the family. As the duty of a culturally competent RA, we will try to accommodate the patients needs where everyone is happy with the outcome while maintaining each patient’s autonomy.

I would like to start this paper by saying that I was very surprised to find out how much information was available on this subject. I found several good articles including an article written by Jimmy Stamp at www.smithsonian.com about experimental notation, and some interesting articles about the history of notation and how it has evolved over time.

Guido made a huge part in the music theory. He made the music notation. Musical notation was a visual record of an imaged or heard musical set of some visual instructions or sound for a performance. This form will usually take a printed or written form and is a very difficult process. In musical notation the main musical sounds are the location of a musical sound on a scale and pitch.
