Harmonic series

Similar to other art forms, music is a unique form of expression which can convey emotion so strongly that it can connect to people no matter where they are from, or what their native language is. These are the six eras of music Baroque named after the traditional ornate architectural style of the time, Classical and Romantic creating composers like Berlioz, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Liszt, and Verdi. The Medieval era, The Renaissance which signifies “rebirth” also known as the time of…

Its debut in the earliest form came about in 1580 in a series of Discourses on Ancient Music and Good Singing written by Vincenzo Galilei. Galilei strived to build upon the idea of recreating the structure of dramatic storytelling. He began with a single melodic line that would act as the “narrator,” (“Recitative”)…

Crib Tunes May Have Made You Smarter Music is an integral part of culture, economy, society, and, not surprisingly, our development. Different musical notes condition their brains to different sounds in the environment. Furthermore, musical complexities may subconsciously work their way into the calculating capacity of the child’s cognition and inspire toward a higher level of thinking at a younger age, ultimately influencing the behavior of the adult brain. Studies that try to delineate…

Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast,” said William Congreve in The Mourning Bride. If the captivating melody could easily take the edge off of the most atrocious monster, then, what are other significant impacts of euphonic sounds for the society? Many are gradually acknowledging the underlying implications of harmonies to their percipience, as seen in the ironical case of Ludwig van Beethoven. The composer of some of the most celebrated music history, such as Moonlight Sonata and…

In the P-N method, mathematically speaking, the RTE reduces to a set of differential equations by approximating the intensity as a truncated series of transcendental functions whose terms are based on orthogonal spherical harmonics. The P-1 model uses only the zeroth and first order moments of the approximated intensity function. Physically, the basic assumption of the P-1 model is that the deviation of incident intensity in a participating…

The main purpose of this book is to defend the thesis that it has been discovered in science that in a cell biochemical systems are “irreducibly complex”, meaning that the removal of a component may cause it to lose function. Using Darwinian terms to explain this would be difficult. The tittle of the book refers to the theoretical mean that the internal working of a device are taken for granted for the discussion of its functions a whole. The author (Michael J. Behe) explains to us in the…

curious feel. The instrumentation for this section is strings instruments and a flute playing. The musical character for this part is very mysterious. My reaction for this section is that feeling that you get after someone gets murdered on a television series. For part 8 we are immediately introduced quickly from the tympani and the texture is fairly dense and anxious feeling. The tempo is very presto and fast moving for this section. The melody is with the brass instruments, probably trumpet,…

signal. The design of the inverse filters exploited the harmonicity characteristics of the speech signal and estimated the filter coefficients in two distinct methods - one method estimated the average filter that transformed reverberant signals into harmonic signals, while the other method used a minimum mean squared error criterion that evaluated the quasi-periodicity of target signals. HERB algorithms take relatively longer time to converge, which also makes them difficult to use in real time…

The guitar is a string musical instrument which is very popular; it has between 4 and 18 strings. It makes sounds through acoustic means for an acoustic guitar or electrical amplification for an electric guitar. It is played through strumming the strings with the right hand while the left hand presses against the frets. The traditional guitar is constructed from wood and strung with either gut or nylon strings while the modern guitar started from the gittern, vihuela, the four-course renaissance…

The trumpet is an instrument that many ensembles use for its versatility. A composer may write for a bright, high sound for the new salsa chart, or a composer may choose to write for a warm, dark orchestral composition. This opportunity would not be this accessible without the help of three individuals, Joseph Haydn, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and Anton Weidinger. Their influence on changing the trumpet greatly changed the future of the instrument and the music. The instrument was revolutionize, as…
