Music may be discussed as for: performance( Broadcast), film, dramatic works or developments in fusion

“There is no music, only sound”. John Cage

The border between music and sound is always culturally defined and there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be Jean Jacque Natiez Read. BIG MONEY, BIG MEDIA Cultural Texts and Political Economics. Ch 4. p 115 The Music Industry:The Player calls the tune

( image above. The circle of fifth) Development study ( level 3) Audience study ( Level 2) Go to http://newmedia-middlesenior.wikispaces.com/Audience+Exam For this assessment ( should you choose the musical form for Audience or Industry study ) discuss developments in interpretation of music as an art form and its dissemination

Core music Theory To include the dissemination of music into the research as a feature of dissemination, the student must include the use of Digital recording with sales or digital broadcast so that the discussion about media significance comes to light.

Sound pitch tone melody harmony meter tempo articulation dynamics and sonic qualities timbre texture Meter animates time in regular pulse groupings A melody is a series of notes sounding in succession A texture is an overall sound of a piece of music commonly described according to the number of and relationship between parts or lines of music e.g monophony or polyphony (i) example of monophony is Indian music. [|Indian classical music] is an ancient musical tradition where monophonic melodies called ragas are played over [|drones]. (ii)Polyphony is "dyadic counterpoint" ( Listen to Bach) (iii) music may be written using the system of major-minor [|tonality] ( Timbre is sometime thought of as colour or tone colour) This is central ( refer [|major–minor] tonality )

At the macro-level, the traditional [|form] of tonal music begins and ends in a home key, and many tonal works move to a closely related key [|relative key]. The key signature of the closely related key will be one accidental different from the tonic, with the exception of the tonic minor or major. A tonality is established in many ways, traditionally accomplished through the harmonic implications of a [|cadence], which is two chords in succession which give a feeling of completion or rest at the end of a phrase, with the most common being to .[// [|citation needed] //]

Consonance and dissonance
// Main article: [|Consonance and dissonance] // In the context of tonal organization, a chord or a note is said to be //consonant// when it implies stability, and //dissonant// when it implies instability. This is not the same as the ordinary use of the words consonant and dissonant.[// [|clarification needed] //] A dissonant chord is in tension against the tonic, and implies that the music is distant from that tonic chord. //Resolution// is the process by which the harmonic progression moves from dissonant chords to consonant chords and follows [|counterpoint] or voice leading. Voice leading is a description of the //horizontal// movement of the music, as opposed to chords which are considered the //vertical//.[// [|citation needed] //] Traditional tonal music is described in terms of a scale degrees, upon which are built chords. Chords in order form progressions, which establish or deny a particular chord as being the tonic chord. The cadence is held to be the sequence of chords which establishes one chord as being the tonic chord; more powerful cadences create a greater sense of closure and a stronger sense of key. Chords function by leading the music towards or away from a particular tonic chord. When the sense of which chord is the tonic is changed, the music is said to have "changed key" or "modulated". Roman numerals and numbers are used to describe the relationship of a particular chord to the tonic chord.[// [|citation needed] //] The techniques of accomplishing this process are the subject of tonal [|music theory] and compositional practice.

The notion of broadcast

a) the recoding studio See Oh Brother Where Art Thou? Segment plus one other  b) the radio transmission. See three fm Band stations

c) The notion of the radio selector. For example, a traveller becomes a collector of music in another country

d) Music from the diaspora. For example, migrants from Ghana to England form their blends and off-shoots

An Afrocentrism. Creating local radio

The African Diaspora ( The diaspora includes // historical emigration from Africa. See //[|//recent African origin of modern humans//]// for pre-historic human migration and //[|//emigration from Africa//]// for recent migration ). // The African Diaspora is how African's were able to retain their identity, culture, religion and in some cases their language despite being taken from their home

Its all about A&R ( See below) a film about A&R

** Artists and repertoire ** ( ** A&R ** ) is the division of a [|record label] or music publishing company that is responsible for talent scouting and overseeing the artistic development of [|recording artists] and/or songwriters. It also acts as a liaison between artists and the record label or publishing company; every activity involving artists to the point of album release is generally considered under the purview of, and responsibility of, A&R.
