Session 4 Phil Tagg’s Musicological ModelPaul Carr
Phil Tagg's methodology for musicological analysis involves several key steps:
1) Selecting an "Analysis Object" (AO) that has broad communication potential.
2) Identifying the musical "Parameters of Expression" and elements in the AO.
3) Finding short meaningful segments called "musemes" within the AO.
4) Comparing the AO to similar "Inter-objective Comparison Materials" (IOCM) to understand collective meanings.
1. The document discusses different ways that music can communicate or refer both within itself and outside of itself.
2. It summarizes Allan Moore's view that music refers within itself through relationships between sections, and Tagg's view that music communicates between individuals and groups.
3. Ferdinand de Saussure's theory of the sign, signifier, and signified in semiology is also summarized, and how this applies to understanding how musical elements can signify meanings.
Here are three examples of episodic markers, sonic/tactile/kinetic anaphones, genre synecdoche, or experiments with time and place that could be placed on the blog:
1. Drum fills are often used as episodic markers in popular music to signal that a musical event such as a chorus is about to begin.
2. The distinctive guitar sound of Jimi Hendrix, produced through effects pedals and technique, acts as a sonic anaphone closely associated with his musical persona.
3. The blending of hip hop and rock elements in a song like "Walk This Way" by Run DMC and Aerosmith employs genre synecdoche, using elements of one
This document discusses a proposed musicological research project focusing on Frank Zappa and his music. It outlines several key questions for the research, including examining whether music can communicate beyond just sounds, where musical meaning comes from, and how to analyze music from different theoretical perspectives. The document then provides an overview of Zappa's unique style which blended many genres and employed techniques like musical quotation and xenochrony. It proposes analyzing several of Zappa's songs and albums in depth to better understand his innovative approaches to composition and meaning-making.
The document provides an overview of musicology and the requirements for an assessment in a musicology module. It discusses the history and goals of musicology, focusing on analyzing popular music. The assessment consists of a 2,000-word essay analyzing a musical work and a 5-minute technological presentation on a musicological topic. The essay must use concepts like form, harmony, melody, and rhythm to analyze compositions.
Here are 3 questions for discussion based on the reading:
1. How might Adler's separation of musicology into historical and systematic approaches apply to the study of popular music? What are the benefits and limitations of each approach?
2. What are the implications of Eco, Foucault, and Barthes' ideas about authorship and the open work for how meaning is created and interpreted in popular music? How might this challenge traditional notions of musical analysis?
3. What role do social and cultural contexts play in interpreting popular music according to these theoretical perspectives? How might understanding these contexts enhance musical analysis?
This lecture provides an overview of musicology and how it relates to the analysis of popular music. It discusses the history of musicology focusing originally on art music, and how it has expanded to include popular music. The goals of the module are introduced as analyzing popular music forms, developing critical skills, and improving writing and presentation abilities. An overview of the course schedule is given along with details on assessments, which include a group presentation and written essay. Various analytical tools and layers involved in analyzing songs, arrangements, and recorded tracks are defined and examples are discussed.

This document discusses various elements of music and how they contribute to musical form and meaning. It begins by summarizing a paper on the band Korn that analyzed the interrelationship between lyrics and music using different techniques. It then defines common musical elements like timbre, texture, harmony, and rhythm. Examples are given of how elements like rhythm, harmony, melody, and instrumentation can determine musical form. Specific techniques like stop time, changes in harmony, and unusual bar structures are examined. The document concludes by outlining sections of popular music forms and providing homework tasks of adding examples to a musicology wiki.
This document discusses theories of musical meaning from various musicologists. It outlines Guido Adler's distinction between historical and systematic musicology. It discusses Eduard Hanslick's view that music does not directly impact extra-musical feelings. It also summarizes Mayer's triadic model of musical meaning, which examines the stimulus, what it refers to, and who understands it. Mayer believes meaning arises from awareness of implications of a musical stimulus. The document also discusses absolutist and referentialist views of musical meaning.
The document discusses the five elements of music: sound, harmony, melody, rhythm, and growth. It defines each element and provides examples. Sound is defined by its dynamic range, timbre, and texture. Harmony involves the simultaneous sounding of pitches to create chords. Melody refers to the tune and is defined by aspects like pitch, key, and mode. Rhythm provides the steady beat and pulse, involving tempo and meter. Growth examines how musical elements develop over the course of a piece through techniques like repetition, contrast, and defined structures or forms.
This document defines the basic elements of music and their functions. It discusses that music is organized sound with elements like pitch, duration, timbre, harmony, texture and dynamics. It then explains the various functions of music including aesthetics, emotional appeal, nationalism, entertainment, and marketing. It concludes by describing the key musical elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, texture, timbre, dynamics, form, and musical instruments.
This document discusses musical form and how composers use repetition and contrast. It introduces common musical forms like sonata form, theme and variations, and rondo form that build upon repetition of themes and sections. Musical phrases are the smallest unit of form, typically lasting one breath, and composers repeat and vary phrases for unity and variety. Form acts as the blueprint that shows how musical ideas are structured and developed.
Session 4‘the elements of music and form’Paul Carr
Most popular music follows a common structure with sections like introductions, verses, choruses, and bridges that are typically divided into phrases of 4, 8, or 16 bars. These sections contrast melodically and through other musical elements to maintain interest. While most songs change harmony between verses and choruses, some like "Stand By Me" use the same harmony. Structure can also be delineated through polyrhythms, as in "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin, or variations in meter.
The document defines and describes various musical concepts used to analyze song structure, including motifs, question and answer phrases, sentences, sections, structural and compositional forms. It then discusses techniques for comparing these elements diachronically (through time), such as melodic repetition, rhythmic repetition, transposition, identical melody with changing harmony, and new answering phrases. Examples of popular songs that demonstrate each technique are provided.
Research Skills Musicology Final Session Prior To Easter BreakPaul Carr
This document provides guidance for a 2000-word musicology essay final assignment. Students can analyze a single piece of music or compare two pieces using discussed methodologies, such as Philip Tagg's approach. Alternatively, students can present a contextual analysis of an artist, discussing factors like authenticity, local/global influences, and how the artist relates to other musicians and styles. The essay should include transcriptions, recordings, and references. Assessment will consider the analysis detail, use of examples, and cross-referencing of academic texts. The deadline is May 7th, 2010.
The document provides guidance on describing programme music through discussing how music can illustrate stories, dramas, or moods using elements like rhythm, melody, texture, instrumentation, and dynamics. It asks the reader to listen to a track from Romeo and Juliet and describe in 1-2 paragraphs how the music expresses the conflict or love in the story by referring to relevant musical elements. For homework, the reader is asked to write a paragraph analyzing how the extract illustrates Romeo and Juliet's love.
The document summarizes the basic elements of music - melody, rhythm, harmony, texture, and form. It defines each element and provides examples. Melody is a succession of pitches that form phrases through cadences. Rhythm deals with musical movement through time defined by beats and meters. Harmony refers to the simultaneous sounding of pitches or tones to form chords and scales. Texture describes how melodic and harmonic elements are combined, such as in monophony, polyphony, homorhythm, and homophony. Form structures music through repetition, contrast, and variation in structures like binary and ternary forms.
This document provides an overview of a 32-week songwriting course for 4th year Philippine high school students. The course uses workshops and discovery approaches rather than lectures. Students are expected to have some music experience. Classes involve listening exercises to analyze song melodies, rhythms, dynamics, textures, and lyrics. Students practice writing their own song lyrics and melodies using various exercises that provide templates to follow. The course aims to help students discover their own creative expression through songwriting.
This document discusses musical form and structure, specifically the AB form. It provides the examples of the songs "Yankee Doodle" and "Rocky Mountain" to illustrate the AB pattern. In AB form, a song has two sections (A and B) that repeat, such as verse and chorus. "Yankee Doodle" has an A section and B section that repeat in an AB pattern. "Rocky Mountain" demonstrates a repeating AB structure through two verses and two refrains.
This document discusses conceptual metaphors in music through the lens of the Study and Research Group on Musical Metaphors (GERMM). It provides examples of conceptual metaphors that understand musical ideas in terms of other domains, such as architecture, language, and the body. The group aims to study the links between metaphorical language, conceptual metaphors, and our physical and sensory experiences of music through techniques like questionnaires, interviews, motion capture, and neuroimaging. Their research could provide insights into how metaphor, expectation, and embodiment relate to musical meaning and response.
The document provides an overview of music including its history, elements, production, and opportunities. It discusses how music developed among prehistoric humans and ancient cultures.

WRITING A CONCERT REPORT
Instructors in introductory music courses often require students to write one or more concert reports during a semester. Here are some guidelines for the preparation of such an assignment: first, a few suggestions on working with your own notes; second, points to consider for the content of your report; third, some information about usages or conventions in writing about music; and finally, an example of a concert report.
TRANSFORMING YOUR NOTES INTO A REPORT
You should plan to expand your notes into a complete report very soon after the concert—the same evening or during the next day or so.
It is often helpful to begin with an outline and then to write a rough draft. (If your instructor hands out a printed form for concert reports, that will serve as the outline.) Next, polish and edit your draft to produce the final version. Remember to check your grammar and the spellings of names (especially foreign names) and musical terms.
Below are recommendations for the actual content of your report—what to write. Following that, there is a section on vocabulary and usages, or conventions, involved in referring to musical works—that is, how to write about music.
WHAT TO WRITE: THE CONTENT OF A REPORT
The Concert as a Whole You should begin your report with a brief description of the concert attended, including the name and type of the performing group or soloists, the place, the date and time, and the music you heard.
You will also want to note whether the performers were attempting a historically "authentic" program. For example, in music by Johann Sebastian Bach, was a harpsichord (rather than a piano) used? For a symphony by Haydn or Mozart, was the size of the orchestra reduced? Did the performers use old instruments, or reconstructions of old instruments?
Then, you may want to describe your general reaction to the concert. Did you enjoy it? Did this event make you feel like going to other concerts in the near future?
Following this introduction, the paper might focus on t ...

Draw an ER-EER data model for the following scenario- You want to buil.docxrtodd4
Draw an ER/EER data model for the following scenario: You want to build a music database for a music streaming service similar to spotify or google music. For each music track, we will need to keep track of its name, the artist performing the track, the album the track performs on, and the time of the track. Some tracks have multiple artists. For some tracks, we will also separately note the composer (i.e. for classical music). Each album can contain multiple tracks, and may either be an album centered on one artist or may have tracks from multiple artists. Any track only appears on a single album (the same song appearing on multiple albums will be treated as multiple tracks). A track has a track number within the context of an album. Albums have a release date. Artists can be individuals (i.e. Michael Jackson), bands/groups (i.e. Led Zeppelin), or ensembles (i.e. the London Symphony Orchestra). Bands have members. Ensembles have leaders or composers. Individuals may appear in different roles on different albums (i.e. Michael Jackson as an individual or as a member of the Jackson Five). Albums may have labels (ex. Colombia) or may be independently produced by the artist (we need to know the difference for streaming royalties). Try to catch as much of this information in your ER diagram as possible. Add attributes as necessary. Note: it is ok to add auto-generated keys, but you should have keys noted in your diagram.

This document provides an overview of a music professional project to compose an electronic theme-based album influenced by Justin Bieber. The project observes key composition elements including musical grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Traditional Indian instruments like tumbi, harmonium, and tabla are used to provide beats for the two genres incorporated across the album's seven tracks. The composition process involves establishing beats, designing melody/harmony, and implementing fundamentals before finalizing the song structure and production schedule. The goal is to create an enjoyable and unique album that also expresses the composer's message to listeners.
This document summarizes the process of creating a piece of recorded music from start to finish. It discusses the following key steps:
1) Composition, where the song is written through lyrics, musical form, and instrumentation. Genre and prosody help guide the composition.
2) Arrangement and instrumentation, where additional elements are added to the song skeleton and it is rehearsed. Collaboration can elevate the song.
3) Recording, where each instrument is captured separately using specialized microphones and equipment. Mixing and editing refine the individual tracks.
4) Mixing, where all tracks are balanced and effects are applied to blend them cohesively into a full song. Techniques like doubling

2. Head your paper with your first and last name, the name of the show and where and when you saw it.
3. List the performers and/or the name of the group and the instruments included in the concert. List all the pieces that were played (see program notes for the concert), the name of the person who composed and/or arranged each piece, and the date each work was completed (if possible).
Example:
The Turtle Island String Quartet includes Joe Bloe, first violin; Sarah Marah, second violin; Topsy Turvy, viola; S. Popping, cello.
Their program:
Still so Cheerful by Sarah Marah, composed in 2001
Getting up Late by S. Popping, composed in 1998
Saturday Night by Berry Berry, composed in 2004
What to Write About:
1. Below are some things you can write about, but the most important is the MUSIC. You don't have to write about every piece on the program. Do write about how the sounds affected you, which voices, selections, or instruments touched you most, what you learned of interest about the composer(s), the performing group, and the compositions.
2. Ambience - Every gathering of people has a feeling tone, a mood: This is the ambience. Notice the people as they come in, find their seats, see what kinds of clothes they are wearing. Look around the theatre; notice the lighting in the room, the stage area. If you have some particular feeling about how you fit in, how you feel being a part of it you might make a comment in your paper.
3. You will understand and appreciate a concert more, and write about it best if you do a little research. It's easy to research on the Internet. Type in the name of the group and a list of web sites will pop up. The same is true for many composers. If the pieces were written in another century find out what you can about the type of composition, something about the composer.
4. Music is the most illusive art form. Like the dance, music happens in real-time: It's gone as soon as you hear it, and impressions are difficult to recall. Program notes give you information that is helpful when you think back on a performance. Program notes give you information about the composers, the music, and in voice concerts you may have translations into English of the words in a song.
5. Each composer had a concept, an idea, and chose specific instruments or voices (types of singers) because of the sounds they make. Listen to ho.
The document provides an overview of the Edexcel Specification 2009 for music. It covers four Areas of Study: Structure in Western Classical Music (1600-1899); Changing Directions in Western Classical Music from 1900; Popular Music in Context; and Indian Raga, African Music and Fusions. Key elements of musical form, theory, genres and styles from different eras and cultures are defined and exemplified.

This document summarizes a phenomenological analysis of musical engagement when recording, performing, and rehearsing with the James Taylor Quartet. It discusses research questions around how musicians employ listening to recreate past styles authentically. The summary describes the band's intentional/extensional listening process and how it impacts composition, arrangement, and is shaped by social parameters and the environment. Comparisons are made between album tracks and live performances focusing on elements like grooves, harmony, form, and collective texture.
Here is the powerpoint presentation that I have been using for the Welsh Music Foundation forums. This is work in progress, but it provides a snapshot of some of the topics being discussed.
This document discusses Frank Zappa's political views and how they were expressed through his music. It analyzes two of his songs, "Dickie's Such An Asshole" and "Reagan at Bitburg", that satirized American presidents Nixon and Reagan. Zappa was a vocal critic of authority figures and the American political system. He distrusted governments and emphasized freedom of speech and citizens' right to vote. His unique and unconventional music was both politically and socially commentary through its lyrics, themes, and blending of diverse styles.
1) The document discusses research on Frank Zappa's music conducted by Dr. Paul Carr, including conferences and publications on analyzing Zappa's integration of various musical styles and traditions.
2) It examines how Zappa both embraced and subverted rock music conventions to categorize his work, while continuously incorporating elements of classical music and other genres.
3) Key concepts discussed include Zappa's use of "project/object," "conceptual continuity," and "xenochrony" to fuse musical elements from different times and places.
- The document discusses Frank Zappa as a case study for interdisciplinary teaching between music and drama. It outlines Zappa's diverse influences and compositional techniques that integrated various musical styles.
- A university project brought together music and drama students to work on "Fish - An Anti Off Off Off Broadway Musical", inspired by Zappa's music and concepts. The goal was to explore how different art forms can complement each other.
- Potential future projects discussed applying Zappa's techniques and concepts to interdisciplinary works between music and drama.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
3. Interesting to compare view to that of Plato and the late
antiquity scholars. Greek Modes for example were
deemed to contain emotion.
Viewed the ‘beauty’ of music as being its formal
structure – contained no emotional content within its
notes or referred by them
Influenced by Kant’s concept of being ‘disinterested’
Leads to some interesting questions:
Is there a difference between what a piece of music is –
and what is known about it?
What impact does our memory and imagination have
on our interpretation of music?
4. Do our opinions and words reflect reality – or
construct our own version of it?
What is the impact of the author (composer) on
how we interpret music.
What is the impact of lyrics?
Can music represent ‘real’ meaning?
5. Production Analysis could include factors such
as
Impact of Society and Culture
Impact of the Press
The impact of the record label/company
In this session, we will focus more upon -
Songwriting/Compositional Process
Intentionality of the composer
Studio Practices
6. For analysis of the text – we will consider ‘The
Elements of Music’.
We will generally be considering where the
ontological presence of a piece of music is.
Important to remember – that some factors
(melody and harmony for example) can be part
of Production and Immanent process.
7. Song: Includes basic harmony (chords), melody, lyrics, and some
degree of formal design.
Musical Arrangement: A specific setting of the song. Includes
instrumentation, specific parts, groove, etc.
Track: The recording itself, includes both song and arrangement.
Song and Arrangement can be altered at any point. This is not true
for The Track, as it is a fixed set of relationships that is an
autographic representation of its makers.
Compositional process can be simultaneous (all three parameters
occurring at the same time.
Or linear – Song – Arrangement – Track
Interesting to analyse how songwriters and producers develop
their ideas (or your own work!). How do these three components
work together?
8. Dictionary definition of musical ingredients for
a Song usually includes the following broad
categories. The basic analysis tools for some of
these factors have already largely been
covered:
Melody Basic Formal
Harmony Lyrics
Design
9. Can be modified and changed (arranged),
without altering the songs basic character.
Songs can therefore easily be differentiated
from particular recorded versions – because
they do not involve any precise SOUND.
Songs are the most recognisable of the three
parameters, and songwriters always get
principal credit on a record, even if they have
had nothing to do with its construction.
10. Songwriters have historically held a privileged position
in Popular Music.
It is only recently that musicians (often important
factors in forging a musical work) have gained
royalties through the PPL (in the UK).
Tin Pan Alley – songwriters were usually separated
from the artists who performed their songs. The songs
therefore had an independent life – not related to their
‘arrangement’ or ‘track’ versions.
Leiber & Stoller were an early exception to this:
Producers and Composers.
Many Blues artists were forerunners of the modern day
singer/songwriter as they often linked the composer,
song and arrangement together.
Post Rock & Roll – songs became linked to specific
recordings (Tracks) to a unprecedented degree.
11. Listen: ‘Tutti Fruiti’ by Little Richard (1955)
and then Pat Boone’s version (1956).
What factors differentiate these recordings
from each other?
12.
13.
14. More detailed than the song.
Includes aspects such as – instrumentation, style,
groove, texture, timbre, dynamics, tempo, structural
form etc.
In the context of modern record making, electronic
processing can be part of ‘arranging’ technique, thus
overlapping with The Track.
For example instrument effects, outboard signal
processing such as compression, mixing desk protocols
such as stereo mix and pan, etc.
Bands can sometimes aim to obtain a ‘live’ sound, or
alternatively experiment with arranging techniques
that are impossible (or very difficult) to recreate live.
15. Arranged for voice, guitar, and string quartet.
Arrangement has a clear identity which was not conceptualised as
part of the Song, and could be reproduced live or notated (The
string parts were).
However the process of recording inadvertently captured both of
McCartney's attempts at singing the song.
The fact that the strings were overdubbed at a different ‘time’
makes this work different from a recording of a live performance.
This soundscape is specific to recorded sound, even though it
sounds like it could be played live – the details dictate otherwise.
Analysis should therefore take this into account – differentiating
between the Song and Arrangement.
16. When song writing and recording originally
came together they were sequential processes –
often due to financial implications (Studios
were expensive)
With the advent of the home studio, the
process has become more symbiotic and
interchangeable.
For this reason, it is essential to consider the
whole Record (Song, Arrangement, and Track) as
the focus of musicological analysis.
17. The recording itself.
It therefore includes the other two parameters.
18. When we hear the record, we experience both Song and
Arrangement through the Track.
Very important to realise that Song and Arrangement retain
ontological independence (we can analyse both).
They potentially have specific modes of representation (lead sheet,
performance, etc) outside of the Record.
These modes of representation can change over time – IE one may
decide to alter the chords of the song, or the instrumentation of
the arrangement
This is not the case for the Track – this is a fixed set of
relationships, a mix of action and intent – AUTOGRAPHIC!
It is interesting to consider how these three parameters can
potentially interrelate in the compositional process, and more
importantly how the Song and Arrangement are influenced by the
Autographic process.
19. Where is the ontological presence of the song?
In a single recordings?
Or Multiple Performances – live gigs,
arrangements, cover versions, etc
With this philosophy – we consider
compositions/songs more in the imagination
than individual instances – they are considered
the combination of many parts – over time, space
and place.
When listening to a specific recording – we are
only hearing one instance of the song
20. For Example
Timbre
Texture
Harmony
Dynamics
Melody
Rhythm
Mix
etc
21. We can discuss/describe how these elements function
independently within the music either diachronically
or synchronically – ‘embodied’/rationalistic meaning.
We can link them to our own and others’ ‘designative’
meaning.
We can discuss how they are prioritised to indoctrinate
interest and meaning in the music.
22. To get started, you need to consider where the analytical priority of the
music to be analysed is. For example:
1. Melody (Song)
2. Harmony (Song – although could be Arrangement)
3. Lyrics (Song)
4. Form (Song/Arrangement)
5. Texture (Arrangement)
6. Tempo (Song/Arrangement)
7. Metre (Song/Arrangement)
8. Timbre (Arrangement)
9. Dynamics (Song/Arrangement)
10. Mix (Arrangement)
Consider two questions
1. How important to the analysis are each of these factors? – Place them in
order of priority and consider some reasons for your answers.
2. How could you use these as a starting point for analysis?
23. Small Group Task: Listen to the following
pieces. In small groups prioritise the
importance of the above techniques by
numbering them. Provide reasons for your
choice to feed back to the group.
‘Car Wash’ by Rose Royce
‘All Along The Watchtower’ by Bob Dylan
‘Sir Duke’ by Stevie Wonder
24. Element Number Reason
Melody
Harmony
Lyrics
Form
Texture
Tempo
Metre
Timbre
Dynamics
Mix
25. It is essential that you all begin to develop an
academic voice in preparation for your 3rd year
studies (as well as this assignment!). Although
I will usually recommend texts week by week,
can I suggest the following texts and activities
as a starting point
