Once again, against my policy, I am asking an OT question because this list is truly resourceful :-)
Basically I have to find the musical term in English for what I am about to explain bellow. In Japanese, it is called "Ki-Shou-Ten-Ketsu", which is somewhat similar to "Intro-Dev-Climax-Conclusion". In music, I was taught it is what is divided in four regions called harmonic rhythm, which is a wrong term according to my net search. What is the correct terminology for this? In 4/4, the strength of the beat is 1-3-2-4 to flow. The same will apply to a form, i.e., 8 bars phrase will be divided into 2 bars each, and the same 1-3-2-4 priority applies. The 32 bars form tune of AABA form gets the same 1-3-2-4 priority divided in 8 bars each. The 32 bars form tune of ABAC form gets into 16 bars each, and the 16 bar will divided into 4 bars each for 1-3-2-4 priority. When you analyze a tune with odd phrasing such as Falling Grace, you say this composition is unique because it shifts the "harmonic rhythm (now I want to know the correct terminology for this)". For long years, I believed this is called harmonic rhythm, but quick googling denis it. I'd appreciate if anyone know the correct terminology for this. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
