The pulses of time
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Denis Smalley's The pulses of time. The piece reflects the varied behavior of pulses: the regular pulses of meter, the much slower pulses which pace sections of music, and pulses which form the interior character of sounds - the accelerating pulses of a bouncing sound, and the fast pulses creating the "grain" in sound textures. The different atmospheres in the work are generated by the major sound sources: the electronic bounced family of sounds, metallic harmonies which expand the resonances of dramatic gong-like attacks, noise contours, drums and percussion both real and synthetic, and the clavichord which provides a rich reservoir of sounds - deep clusters, sighing pitches, resonances truck on the soundboard, strings plucked and stroked. The clavichord sounds remain raw and untreated.

Pashanti (Les 9 Milliards de Noms de Dieu)
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of David Evan Jones's "Pashanti (Les 9 Milliards de Noms de Dieu)." "Pashanti" is a Sanskrit word that refers to the level of thought that immediately predicts the recognition of speech as sound. This composition uses a hybrid computer musical system to filter vowel sound sources and vowel-like sounds. The text consists of the vowels i / a / u / e / i in sequence with particular transition velocities form the word "Yaweh" (the name of the Hebrew god). This series of vowels is continuously permuted to form the text of Pashanti through the composition.

A Vent

Recording of Jonty Harrison's A Vent for oboe and tape, performed by Robin Canter, oboe.

The necessity of breathing permeates the work.

Nekyia
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of D. Gareth Loy's Nekyia.

Matin, matinée, soirée, nuit
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bohdan Mazurek's "Matin, matinée, soirée, nuit." It is a work for children who conform to the adopted principles which should be of aesthetic values to initiate the broader sense of the term music. Mazurek introduced program elements to the music in order to train the young listener to attain the sense of psychological concentration needed for the perception of music. The musical layer lacks a homogeneous style, which results from the preconceived idea the diversity of functions that must be fulfilled by music ranging from an autonomous role to mere illustration. The sound material ranges from instrumental sounds (both natural and transformed), human voice, and sounds of electronic origin in which often by their character recall birds singing, frogs croaking, and instruments playing. The piece, which is in four distinct sections, was commissioned by the Redaction of Children's Programs of Polish Broadcasting and written in November 1979 at the Experimental Studio.
