PDF Search Engine (millions of pdf ebooks) Music and Architecture: Confronting the Boundaries between Space and Sound. Professor Jonathan Cole My talk this evening is an exploration of the relationship between physical space and musical space. I will explore some of the links which exist between musical composition and architecture. I will look at how composers have used physical space within their methodology and how the architecture of our environment can open up new possibilities within the development of musical ideas.

At various points within the lecture, in order to provide some respite, I will be playing excerpts of a selection of pieces which explore the ideas of musical space in individually imaginative ways. Obviously, with a stereophonic setup, it is impossible to experience the specific spatial arrangement of these pieces, and a lack of time means I cannot play extensive excerpts. However, I hope that if you are unfamiliar with these pieces, the tasters I offer may tempt you to investigate these composers further. I'd like us to hear just the very opening of the Vespers by Monteverdi. P130_Deleflie. Thesis%202006.

Leonard Bernstein’s Masterful Lectures on Music (11+ Hours of Video Recorded in 1973) In 1972, the composer Leonard Bernstein returned to Harvard, his alma mater, to serve as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, with “Poetry” being defined in the broadest sense.

The position, first created in 1925, asks faculty members to live on campus, advise students, and most importantly, deliver a series of six public lectures. T.S. Eliot, Aaron Copland, W.H. Auden, e.e. cummings, Robert Frost, Jorge Luis Borges — they all previously took part in this tradition. And Bernstein did too. Delivered in the fall of 1973 and collectively titled “The Unanswered Question,” Bernstein’s lectures covered a lot of terrain, touching on poetry, linguistics, philosophy and physics.

But the focus inevitably comes back to music — to how music works, or to the underlying grammar of music.
