Document Summary
Lecture 1a - the standard model of music. Rhythmic patters based on simple-ration divisions of the basic beat (2"s, 3"s, 4"s) Pitches made up of harmonic frequency components (integer multiples of the fundamental frequency) Pitch intervals based on simple-integer relations among frequencies (2:1 octave, 3:2 p5; 4:3 p4) Simple ostinato patterns: direct repetition of musical phrases. More than one musical line at a time: parallel lines vs. non-parallel lines. Distinct rhythm and melody-bearing parts in an ensemble. Melodic pitches don"t align to the principal beat (e. g. syncopation) Complex melodies and harmonies: non-motivic melodies, chords and harmonic progressions. Sectional arrangements (e. g. strophes: movements in large-scale works. Tune-text alignment: complex texts, ornamentations (e. g. melisma) Complicated rhythms: complex meters (5, 7, 11, etc. , changing rhythms (e. g. 3+3+2) Complex forms: changing rhythmic patters, changing melodic pitch groupings. Intervals not based on simple-integer ratios: non-consonant intervals. Cognitive modules of music (two meta-systems of music)
