(12-note cycles as pitch increases/decreases)
(A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G#)
.
‘440 hz’ = ‘A4’
(concert pitch)
(the ‘4’ delineates the ‘octave’)
(which starts with ‘C’)
(meaning that the next ‘C’ will be ‘C5’)
(‘tenor high C’)
.
(in music, the term note has 2 primary meanings)
(a sign used in musical notation to represent the relative duration and pitch of a sound (♪, ♫))
(a pitched sound itself)
(‘notes’ are the “atoms” of much written music: discretizations of musical phenomena that facilitate performance, comprehension, and ‘analysis’)
(the term note can be used in both generic and specific senses: one might say either “the piece ‘Happy Birthday to You’ begins with 2 notes having the same pitch”, or “the piece begins with two repetitions of the same note”)
(in the former case, one uses note to refer to a specific musical event; in the latter, one uses the term to refer to a class of events sharing the same pitch)
(see also: “key signature names and translations”)
.
(the note “A” or “La”:)
.
(two notes with fundamental frequencies in a ratio equal to any integer power of 2 (e.g., ‘half’, ‘twice’, or ‘four’ times) are perceived as very similar)
(because of that, all notes with these kinds of relations can be grouped under the same “pitch class”)
(in traditional music theory, most countries in the world use the naming convention “Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si”, including for instance ‘Italy’, ‘Spain’, ‘France’, ‘Romania’, most ‘Latin American countries’, ‘Greece’, ‘Bulgaria’, ‘Turkey’, ‘Russia’, and all the Arabic-speaking or Persian-speaking countries)
(however, within the ‘english-speaking’ and ‘dutch-speaking world’, pitch classes are typically represented by the first 7 letters of the “latin alphabet” (A, B, C, D, E, F and G))
(a few european countries, including ‘germany’, adopt an almost identical notation, in which ‘H’ substitutes for ‘B’)
(the 8th note, or octave, is given the same name as the first, but has double its ‘frequency’)
(the name ‘octave’ is also used to indicate the span between a note and another with ‘double frequency’)
(to differentiate 2 notes that have the same pitch class but fall into different octaves, the system of ‘scientific pitch notation’ combines a letter name with an ‘arabic numeral’ designating a specific ‘octave’)
(for example, the now-standard tuning pitch for most ‘western music’, ‘440 Hz’, is named a′ or ‘A4’)
(which is the 5th fret of the ‘high E’ string on a guitar in standard tuning)
(there are 2 formal systems to define each ‘note’ and ‘octave’, the “helmholtz pitch notation” and the “scientific pitch notation”)
.
(‘western music’ consists of ’12 notes’)
A A# B C C# D D# E F G# G G#
(the letters associated with these notes are based on the ‘Aminor’ / ‘Cmajor’ ‘diatonic scale’)
.
(linear note progression)
(can be played over different harmonic founations for various ‘effects’)
(liliana said all my melodies were good in 2008)
(have they gotten better since then?)
(i’d like to think so)
(she said “fruit loops” refrain had a good ‘beatles-like’ melody)
*what is my favorite melody?*
(“MY” melody?)
(though i believe you shouldn’t be able to ‘copyright’ a melody)
(in that case “tom petty’ had an all-too-fitting last name)
.
(acting like he was “above it all” while trying to deflect blame on the lawsuit via his ‘lawyers’)
