This week we looked at some of the ways in which mathematical notions (and definitions) of symmetry can provide insight into the structure of much of the music we hear. Relative Keys.

Please come to class next Monday (the 18th) prepared to discuss the negative harmony (see first bullet) and Jacob Colier's description of harmony more generally (see the last bullet). The identity element is the rotation through an angle of 0 degrees, and the inverse of the rotation through angle α is the angle −α. Click here for the printable PDF. Suspensions are a kind of non-chord tone, and you will likely encounter them in your music theory courses! The groups associated with other kinds of geometries is somewhat more involved, but the idea remains the same.
If we construct a lattice of notes/numbers that moves up by perfects fifths along rows, we get yet another symmetrical shape, called the torus, by wrapping the lattice in on itself - this special musical torus is called a Tonnetz. In this paper, Hook generalized some existing music theoretical concepts and greatly improved their notation. endobj Along the same lines, but with slightly more complex operations, is the PLR-Group. At the end, we will also see the P, L, R operations in real life by looking at some compositions that have P, L, R operations. Parallel vs. Take a listen to his explanation of harmony and one of his takes on a piece by Gershwin and see what you think. This ambiguity stems from the intricacies of human perception: Is it possible to state a definitive analysis when perceptions differ? 15 0 obj This PDF is a "work in progress" The following pages look at a ten step programme that sets out to give music students a secure knowledge of Major and minor Scales, Major and minor Chords and the chords that exist within particular keys.
