symphonies n tchaikovsky wiki

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphonies_by_Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky The fruit of Liszt's labors was what he eventually termed symphonic poems. In them, he used two alternatives to sonata form. Beethoven had used the first of these, cyclic form , to link separate movements thematically with one another. Liszt took this process one step further by combining themes into a single-movement cyclic structure.[58] The second alternative, thematic transformation, originated with Haydn and Mozart.[59] This process worked in a similar manner as variation but instead of a theme being changed into a related or subsidiary version of the main one, it becomes transformed into a related but separate, independent theme Keller offers the second theme in the first movement of the Fourth Symphony as an example of how this process works. In sonata form, he writes, the first subject enters in the tonic and the second subject follows in a contrasting but related key harmonically. Tension occurs when

ballet/classical sound research 4 action piece

"There was a violent change in mood when Igor Stravinsky's ballet The Rite of Spring was first performed in 1913, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. The music was modernist and dissonant, and the movements were highly stylized. In 1924 George Antheil wrote Ballet Mécanique, which was actually for a film of moving objects, not for dancers , but it was pioneering in the use of jazz music. " Symphonies.. looking into.

Gregorian chant lecture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkY9nnuiXrs Medieval Music. Definition: the monophonic one line music of the roman catholic church. began shortly after the death of christ up til 1600s. Takes name from pope gregory the 1st/ gregory the great. the chants had nothing to do with gregory, a historical accident that hes associated with the chants. purpose of gregorian chant - communicated message of the church.  chant was used for direct reading , syllabic chant. in syllabic chant each syllable has one note. narrow musical range. simple for readings chants for reflection upon reading. reflected chant, contemplation. Melismatic - one in which there are many notes for one syllable of text. a lot broader range. For reflection n for moments of personal feeling.. vehicle for spiritual contemplation 28:48, 29:30 like song, esp bit starts at 29:40 Graduale: Viderunt omnes.

classical theory research; basics, key modulation, symphony composition

Image
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cksD_r8JvoU Modal music became Tonal music.  Modal - Palestrina (1525-94) System hadnt fully developoed yet.. By 120 yrs later we get 2 Js Back, 1685-1750. Back brought tonal system to full fruition.  KEYSSSSSS Major vs Minor. Early composers believed different keys had their own characters. Beethoven thought: Bminor - Black key Ab minor - barborous Eb major - Heroic So much of his music is written to reflect these characteristics. Todays pianos are evened out so we have less key characters. in C major C is home chord. And what we base our perspective off. See all the other keys from our home perspective. Dominant 7th chord provides certainty that we're approaching clear cadance/arriving home/at the tonic. Most pieces end in the key that they began in. KEY RELATIONSS<3  I - tonic ii - supertonic iii - mediant IV - subdomiant V - dominant vi - submediant Whatever key ur in, you can easily modulate to 5 other keys. call this direct relationships.

Postsurgery painting evals

 PAITNIG 1.SESSION 1 Can see some sort of chest the more i look at it. Red wound. chest line/scar line.  dripping paint - having intrusive thoughts of ripped open flesh. PAITNINGG1 SESSION2. really tempted to just refine what i did before, but when thinking about it i thought it would be good to try develop how different i feel from when i did the first session, Especially as I was looking at it, It felt like it looked like a chest. Add more curved lines as have more fluidity to my movements, but at the same time still stiff with the compression vest. Think its really important to kill my darlings with this project which is gonna be tough. 03.01. ended up doing this yesterday, idk if i like it or not, but i felt that way about the first one too. I added a bit more to it today but think im gonna leave it for a couple of days. hopefully it will grow on me, as I dont wanna relly do too many sessions. PAINTING 1 SESSION3. gonna do after jan 20th  Did this 10th feb.. found it really easy su

Had 2 stop myself bc i feel like i could go on working on it forever trying to touch bits up . Might trim the edges at some point idk.
