Cute Animal Music Video - Toshiba Camileo x400 captures Hemiola In music, hemiola (also hemiolia) is the ratio 3:2. The equivalent Latin term is sesquialtera. Etymology[edit] The word hemiola comes from the Greek adjective į¼”Ī¼Ī¹ĻĪ»Ī¹ĪæĻ, hemiolios, meaning "containing one and a half," "half as much again," "in the ratio of one and a half to one (3:2), as in musical sounds. Rhythm[edit] Vertical hemiola: sesquialtera[edit] The Oxford Dictionary of Music shows hemiola as a vertical 3:2 (three beats simultaneous with two beats).[6] One textbook states that, although the word "hemiola" is commonly used for both simultaneous and successive durational values, describing a simultaneous combination of three against two is less accurate than for successive values and the "preferred term for a vertical two against three ā¦ is sesquialtera Sub-Saharan African music[edit] A repeating vertical hemiola is known as polyrhythm, or more specifically, cross-rhythm.

You Are Probably Dead Already (79 Actions To Be Alive) āDonāt ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.ā ā Howard Thurman, Theologian You are probably dead alreadyā¦ most people are. You donāt really breathe the air that enters your lungs, you donāt really taste your food, and you donāt really kiss your lover. You repeat the opinions of others and never think for yourself (although you think you do). You add nothing valuable to our world. You know this too. This is why you have started drinking 3 to 4 Budweisers a night, after your meal of lollipops for dinner (you call this a healthy meal though, because it says so on the box/bag/cable television). The fact that this isnāt all your fault offers some comfort. Every once in awhile you get pretty angry too, when you stop to think of how our parentās generation was too apathetic and cowardly to take the actions necessary to hand us a healthy world. Butā¦ this isnāt such a bad lifeā¦ right? Being alive isnāt easy. 1.
10 Amazing and Stunning Piano Pieces The Arts The piano has clearly been a wildly popular instrument ever since its first introduction to the music scene, as both a solo instrument and an accompaniment. Its instant popularity led to a massive influx of solo piano pieces being written ā some a violent explosion of color and motion, others a slow, melodic meditation. Some pieces were less than a minute in duration and some hours long (in fact, there was a rumor circulating recently as to the existence of a post-modern piece whereupon one note is played every hour, and pianists take shifts to keep the performance lasting for weeks, months at a time). Yet while Iām sure many of you are familiar with hundreds of beautiful, instantly recognizable pieces, this is a list of ten pieces which rival even the most famous pieces in beauty, yet have slipped under the radar. Of course, some of these will be known to some of you, but hopefully everyone will find something new here. Frederic Chopin Scherzo No. 2 Op. 31 Philip Glass Franz Liszt
Octave Equivalent Music Lattices Octave Equivalent Music Lattices 5-Limit Triangular (Hexagonal) Lattices The 5-limit lattice, like 5-limit harmony, is defined around the triads: A step to the right is a fifth. Up-right is a major third, and down-right is a minor third. This lattice is octave-equivalent, and so useful for defining scales that repeat every octave. A bit more of the lattice looks like this: B---------F#--------C#--------G#--------D#--------A# / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / G---------D---------A---------E---------B---------F# \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ Bb--------F---------C---------G---------D---------A / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / Gb--------Db--------Ab--------Eb--------Bb--------F If a scale is defined on this lattice, you can instantly see what major and minor triads it contains. Here are some more chords on a triangular lattice:
Chan Hwee Chong Makes Spiral Illustrations with a Single Line In one of the most impressive advertising ideas I have ever seen, Singapore-based art director and designer Chan Hwee Chong uses a single long line to create spiral recreations of famous artworks. In an inspired advertising campaign for Faber-Castell, designer Chan Hwee Chong demonstrates his unbelievable talent by creating spiral illustrations inspired by some of the most popular masterpieces in history. Using the above mentioned companyās pens, he starts with a blank canvas, and by drawing a continuous line in a spiral he somehow manages to make detailed reproductions of the famous works of art. The level of precision and control in Chongās creations is simply amazing, and although I watched a short video of him in action, Iām still not sure how he manages to achieve such detailed reproductions with a single line. via Neatorama Reddit Stumble
Advice for Pianists: How to Compose Piano Music In my 25 years of writing piano music, I've arranged over 180 compositions, about 160 of which I've released to the public on CD. A fan who read my advice for pianists article asked if I'd write a similar article for beginning composers. So, I've put together these 12 composition tips for anyone who would like to compose music for the piano. 1) Start With the Melody You don't have to come to the piano with an entire song already in your head before you start composing. 2) What is Your Song About? As you develop your overall melody, think about the emotion or image you want your composition to convey. 3) To Intro or Not to Intro? It is sometimes tempting to write a long introduction (something I'm guilty of) to 'set the mood' for your composition. 4) The Anti-Melody Song? Some compositions are just 'mood' pieces. 5) Follow the Muse t's not uncommon to find that while you're developing a composition, you find yourself taken into an entirely new musical direction. 6) Repeat with Style
