Arabic 1620: An Analysis and Procedure for Composing Computer Music

Computers are used in the music field for generation of sound, for composing music, for analysis of music, and for musicological applications, such as cataloguing a bibliography of music literature. These areas are relatively new aspects of computer usage, and research is being conducted to stay abreast of current technological advancements. Avant-garde composers are challenged by new advances in music. Computer-generated music is one of the new trends, but the composer is usually limited in the use of the medium for two reasons: there are no computers to which he may have access, and/or there is not enough knowledge about computer-generated music. The composer sometimes feels that he must have vast knowledge of the computer before he can attempt to use it in musical composition; however, a limited amount of investigation of computer-generated music has shown that methods can be codified to the point where great technical knowledge is not required of the composer.

The Effects of Music and Operant Conditioning on Gross Motor Activity of Profound Mental Retardates (open access)

The Effects of Music and Operant Conditioning on Gross Motor Activity of Profound Mental Retardates

It has not yet been demonstrated that music can be used therapeutically with profoundly retarded children. One way these children might be helped to respond to music, and therapeutically benefit from it, would be to use operant conditioning in an effort to enhance gross motor activity and then progressively shape responses until more complex behavior patterns are formed. Once these children can respond motorically in the presence of musical stimuli, continuation of responding may be possible by pairing motor activity with musical stimuli. This experiment investigated the effects of operant conditioning and music on the motor activity of profoundly retarded children in an effort to determine the therapeutic usefulness of music with such children.

Little Boy

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jean-Claude Risset's Little Boy computer suite for tape. The piece draws on various sound synthesis experiences that I did between 1964 and 1968, working with Max Mathews at Bell Laboratories. These experiences are described in particular in my 1969 sound catalog, which presents a recording of various synthesized sounds with the synth "scores" of these sounds: these scores are both production recipes and exhaustive descriptions of the sound. microstructure of sounds, just as a score describes the combination of various sounds. The Suite is part of a music composed for the play Little Boy by Pierre Halet (Editions du Seuil, Paris 1968), music which also includes vocal and instrumental sections. The theme of the play is the bombing of Hiroshima, relived through the fantasies of pilot Eatherly. In the Suite, the action is condensed into three parts. During the first, Flight and Countdown, the dream of the flight to Hiroshima is accompanied by moving textures, pierced by two fugitive episodes (jazz, gong) then the countdown of the bomb drop, chanted with the rigor of a metronome. In the second part, Chute, the sound travels among various rockets in the great circles of an indefinite descent: indeed the pilot …

Clavecin Pieces of Louis Couperin (open access)

Clavecin Pieces of Louis Couperin

Louis Couperin (c. 1626-1661) was an outstanding member of the seventeenth-century clavecin school and an important link in the Couperin dynasty. His works for the harpsichord, or clavecin, have been neglected. This is due primarily to the fact that there are relatively few of his works, in comparison with those of his nephew, Franois Couperin Le Grand, who greatly overshadows him. Louis wrote no treatise on how his works are to be played, and there are few accounts of him, or his works, that are written in English. There is no biography of Louis Couperin. A more detailed study should be made of his music and its place in the French clavecin literature. Before examiinig the music itself, however, it is necessary to trace the origins and development of the clavecin school and its style.
