Edgar Varese once gave a definition of music as "organized sound", and this seems like a good place to start, more because of what information such a definition does not give than for what it does give. The definition is somewhat satisfying because it seems to embrace practically anything that is called music, that anyone could conceive of as music and further certainly anything that might be called music in the future.

What’s the Difference? » Symphony vs. Orchestra vs. Philharmonic. How to write efficient drum charts. When it comes to writing a drum chart, there often seems to be uncertainty as to what to notate and how to do it.
In this article I will give you some feedback from a drummer's perspective and provide guidelines to creating drum charts that will result in successful performances. Over the years as a professional session drummer, I've come across just about every kind of drum chart out there. Some were beautifully written and easy to execute despite being musically challenging, while others were nearly impossible to read even though they only contained several measures and were easy to play.
There is a fine balance of useful info and cluttered writing that needs to be taken into consideration when writing drum charts. Combination Tones and the Non-Linearities of the Human Ear. Last week, one of my students brought me a composition he made, which was using combination tones in an interesting compositional context, and that gave me a nudge to do some experimenting on the issue, here I’ll share what I’ve found interesting.
This is a psychoacoustic phenomenon in which, when at least two tones with close fundamental frequencies are sounded together, another tone whose frequency is the sum or difference of the original two tones is heard. This “ghost” tone is purely made up by the human ear and brain. That is, if you inspect the spectrum of the two tones with a spectrogram, this ghost tone simply isn’t there.
However, this tone is usually quite faint (unless the amplitude of the original tones are high) so one needs to concentrate to get it, but it’s not very hard either. The Journal Of Music : Why Systems? : John McLachlan. The Romantic period in the arts put at its heart the expression of the individual: artists and composers of the period were often cast as heroic or worthy individuals who went against prevailing mores and practices, until they took on a legendary hue.
A grotesque ghost from this now haunts the liberal Western education, encouraging everyone to believe that they have a unique and fascinating perspective coupled with unlimited creative potential –one requiring little work to unlock. That last bit is a problem: it has got to the stage where student composers often seem to believe that acquiring detailed technical knowledge is a form of brainwashing.
