Octave

other notes’ origin, he calls them dissonant, and therefore outside of the “chord of nature’s” jurisdiction. Therefore, the only notes held responsible for harmonic series origin are the 1, 3, 5, and octave. The fifth is the 3rd harmonic, and is only 2 cents sharp. The octave rates even better—it is the second harmonic and has no pitch variance between the given overtone and its usage in tonal music. However, the third of the scale does not pass Keiler’s pitch variance comparison. As stated, the major third is 14 cents flat. Furthermore, Schenker fails to provide an explanation for minor tonality. The minor third is far further into the harmonic series limits, being the 19th harmonic. So, while Schenker does not claim the harmonic series to be the basis for the entire scale, he does apply it for the three notes of the major triad, and even this has fundamental issues. The other part of Schenker’s view that may help it escape Keiler’s criticisms is in the applications of the theory. While Bernstein was attempting to explain all of the world’s music, Schenker was describing only Western tonal music. Schenker recognizes a difference between Western and, as he calls it, “exotic” music. He claims that non-Western music strives for the intervals reached in tonal music, primarily the octave, fifth, and third, yet never really reaches these intervals, resulting in a lack of diatony (Schenker 11). Here, Schenker’s highly nationalistic, German-supremist view surfaces. Yet however…

Wiley Hardeman Post was a prominent American pilot born on November 22, 1898. He was from Maysville, Oklahoma and became one of the world’s most famous aviators in the 1930s. He set a record and became the first person to complete a flight around the world solo. Overcoming personal tragedy, Post refused to let this interfere with his love for flying. In addition to his airspeed records, he also invented the pressurized flight suit and discovered the jet stream. Throughout his lifetime, although…

Introduction:The Wright brothers were two boys who grew up too be men with great mindsets they built airplanes. They are the first people ever to fly and that is awesome and back then and now they are still some of the most popular innovators in the world because of them we could get places a lot faster now instead of driving or walking we can fly. The Wright brothers were innovative. Wilbur Wright was born in Millville,Indiana in the year 1867. Orville Wright was born in…

war while the woman stayed back to take care of their families. It was expected that several man would not return home due to the causalities of war, yet Octave remained hopeful.

After their marriage, Edmond, just as many of the other men of the town, was sent to the Civil War. Although, Octave worried…

scholars’ viewpoints are explained in Rudolf Wittkower’s Principles of Palladio’s Architecture. Villa Barbaro is one of Palladio’s Villas that relates to harmonic proportions in ways that Rudolf Wittkower explains in his writing. The proportions of a building relate to harmony in music through octaves,…

Events vector for theme A. 3.1.2. ASL Constants ASL Constants are useful in computation of numerical expressions. Table 3.1 contains the list of ASL constants related to dynamic labels and intervals, and Table 3.2 contains the constants that identifies the three first columns of a sequence (pitch, duration, and dynamic). Additionally, pitch constants are identified using an uppercase letter (i.e., A-G) plus the octave location. For instance, middle C is represented as C4 or 60 using the midi…

Elizabeth Barrett Browning: Sonnet XI and XXXIV Analysis Sonnets XIV and XXXIV by Elizabeth Barrett Browning are clear examples of Italian sonnets through their utilizing of Italian rhyme scheme and content breaks of octaves followed by sestets. Although heavy usage of enjambment blurs the distinctions in some cases, the shifts in subject focus assist in clarifying the octave - sestet separations. For example, Sonnet XIV is broken into clear octave - sestet structure with the beginning octave…
