Muka Concert Choir, Period 7 8 November 2016 Overtones Overtones are a frequency higher than the fundamental frequency of a sound and harmonizes with the fundamental note as well. To my surprise, many people do not hear the overtones that I intentionally create which led me the looking at the roots and basics of overtones and overtones singing. Every sound in the world has an overtone. Some we can hear, some we can’t. When singing, I never heard overtones until someone else performed it for me for
Compare, for example, Leonardo’s Madonna of the Rocks to Cimabue’s Madonna Enthroned. The gestures of Cimabue’s figures are varied and angled to make a pleasing formal arrangement leading viewers to Madonna and the child, but the painting is not naturalistic. There is hint of perspective in the work, but it does not make it realistic. Leonardo’s Madonna, sits in a real-looking landscape, and appears to have a natural looking posture, even whilst mid gesture. The painting has a single light source

Part I: Nick’s Narrative: the romanticism in the language, the sensation in the words. Our starting point is that there is a romantic
