The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good? Second Edition

The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good? Second Edition

The original edition of The Geometry of Musical Rhythm was the first book to provide a systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the world. It explained how the study of the mathematical properties of musical rhythm generates common mathematical problems that arise in a variety of seemingly disparate fields. The book also introduced the distance approach to phylogenetic analysis and illustrated its application to the study of musical rhythm. The new edition retains all of this while also adding 100 pages 93 figures 225 new references and six new chapters covering topics such as meter and metric complexity rhythmic grouping expressive timbre and timing in rhythmic performance and evolution phylogenetic analysis of ancient Greek paeonic rhythms. In addition further context is provided to give the reader a fuller and richer insight into the historical connections between music and mathematics. | The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good?

English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

Patrice Larroque hypothesizes that early blues singers may have been influenced by the trochaic rhythm of English. English is stressed and timed which means that there is a regular beat to the language just like there is a beat in a blues song. This regular beat falls on important words in the sentence and unimportant ones do not get stressed. They are “squeezed” between the salient words to keep the rhythm. The apparent contradiction between the fundamentally trochaic rhythm of spoken English and the syncopated ternary rhythm of blues may be resolved as the stressed syllables of the trochee (a stressed-unstressed sequence) is naturally lengthened and assumes the role of one strongly and one weakly stressed syllable in a ternary rhythm. The book suggests investigating the rhythm of English and the rhythm of blues in order to show how the linguistic rhythm of a culture can be reflected in the rhythm of its music. | English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

Rhythm Changes Jazz Culture Discourse

Rhythm Changes Jazz Culture Discourse

Rhythm Changes: Jazz Culture Discourse explores the history and development of jazz addressing the music its makers and its social and cultural contexts as well as the various discourses – especially those of academic analysis and journalistic criticism – that have influenced its creation interpretation and reception. Tackling diverse issues such as race class nationalism authenticity irony parody gender art commercialism technology and sound recording the book’s perspective on artistic and cultural practices suggests new ways of thinking about jazz history. It challenges many established scholarly approaches in jazz research providing a much-needed intervention in the current academic orthodoxies of Jazz Studies. Perhaps the most striking and distinctive aspect of the book is the extraordinary eclecticism of the wide-ranging but carefully chosen case studies and examples referenced throughout the text from nineteenth century literature through 1930s Broadway and film to twentieth and twenty-first century jazz and popular music. | Rhythm Changes Jazz Culture Discourse

Temporal Urban Design Temporality Rhythm and Place

Temporal Urban Design Temporality Rhythm and Place

Temporal Urban Design: Temporality Rhythm and Place examines an alternative design approach focusing on the temporal aesthetics of urban places and the importance of the sense of time and rhythm in the urban environment. The book departs from concerns on the acceleration of cities its impact on the urban quality of life and the liveability of urban spaces and questions on what influences the sense of time and how it expresses itself in the urban environment. From here it poses the questions: what time is this place and how do we design for it? It offers a new aesthetic perspective akin to music brings forward the methodological framework of urban place-rhythmanalysis and explores principles and modes of practice towards better temporal design quality in our cities. The book demonstrates that notions of time have long been intrinsic to planning and urban design research agendas and whilst learning from philosophy urban critical theory and both the natural and social sciences debate on time it argues for a shift in perspective towards the design of everyday urban time and place timescapes. Overall the book explores the value of the everyday sense of time and rhythmicity in the urban environment and discusses how urban designers can understand analyse and ultimately play a role in the creation of temporally unique both sensorial and affective places in the city. The book will be of interest to urban planners designers landscape architects and architects as well as urban geographers and all those researching within these disciplines. It will also interest students of planning urban design architecture urban studies and of urban planning and design theory. | Temporal Urban Design Temporality Rhythm and Place

Revival: Children in the Nursery School (1928)

A clear and practical presentation of the workings of an experimental nursery school. The author offers no hasty generalizations; she sets down the record of her eight years' experience and indicates the conclusions which may be drawn from the study of children's activities during the most significant period of physical mental and social development-from fourteen to thirty-six months. She exlains how the nursery goes about its attempt to scale civilization down to the child level in its behavior demands and to open up wider opportunities for active exploration that an adult world can afford. In discussing the environment offered by the nursery school she considers the child's activities and materials his relation to other children and to adults and his introduction to language and rhythm. | Revival: Children in the Nursery School (1928)

Rock: The Primary Text Developing a Musicology of Rock

This thoroughly revised third edition of Allan F. Moore's ground-breaking book now co-authored with Remy Martin incorporates new material on rock music theory style change and the hermeneutic method developed in Moore’s Song Means (2012).
