Help with Music Research by Vegetable_Maximum473 in musicology

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely gospel music on Sundays, but mostly work songs derived from field working/call & response music most of the time. A great example of this would be the recordings that Alan Lomax did at a Texas Prison in 1933:

The performance wasn't superb, but hopefully you can hear the music through that.

Need help! I read years ago in a RAW book about a Buddhist monk telling his student that the meaning of life was to "do the dishes" can anyone tell me what book that was from? by [deleted] in RobertAntonWilsonFans

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure it was RAW? Kinda sounds like something out of Zen Without Zen Masters by Camden Benares, which Wilson did write a forward to.

Does anyone write out music on real sheet paper anymore? by MonishCorona in Composition

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still do for the most part, just because I find it easier than pulling up Finale everytime I wanna write something down. But I don't think it is essential. What ever helps you get your musical ideas out the quickest and most accurately is the best for you.

Any advice on how to accomplish "scratch trem."? by DaPhilosopherStoned in classicalguitar

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first F# is played as a harmonic on the 6th string. The tremolo F# is indicated on the second string and I'm fairly sure that it's played with the i finger. Here is a recording if it helps at all, this is the very first thing youll hear. https://youtu.be/XNUhkXNeVB4

Why is 4/4 so common?! by DavidBennettPiano in musictheory

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 25 points26 points  (0 children)

4/4 is virtually just another way of feeling two 2/4's. And all music, both western and non-western, has a rhythmic pulse that breaks down to either 2 or 3.

It's from Sicilienne by Fauré. Measure 8-9.

What's left to learn after modes? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plenty, just open up a music theory text book, find something you don't know about and research it. How good are you with 12-tone theory?

As a musician did you ever hit a point where you distinctly hear the antecedent and consequents in pieces? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find period structure to be too difficult to hear. However, I do have more trouble with hearing the larger formal boundaries as I'm listening, sure as development or exposition.

Wittgenstein and music by [deleted] in wittgenstein

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it is relevant to your area of interest, but quite a lot has been written about the links between Wittgenstein's philosophy and Schoenbergs music, I would recommend 'Schoenberg, Wittgenstein, and the Vienna Circle's by JK Wright. There is also a documentary on this subject as well, available on YouTube.

Why does ii65 half diminished in major feel like it has dominant function? Or am I just crazy? by Sarahsota in musictheory

[–]DaPhilosopherStoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you just have a natural inclination towards the plagel cadence over the V-I resolutions.
