| | ORB -- Medieval Music Glossary |
 | | Mensural music is distinct from music employing the rhythmic modes in which the context-dependent notation limited rhythmic flexibility, and from unmeasured music in which no set rhythmic values were employed. | | | The cauda is musically free, though in some cases the composer rounded the form by repeating musical material at the end of the cauda. | | | an antiphonal chant origianlly used a musically interesting section sung by the choir (the antiphon) to frame a musically boring section (usually the recitational psalm tone). |

| | Articles - Bluegrass music |
| | Unlike mainstream country music, bluegrass relies mostly on acoustic stringed instruments: The fiddle, banjo, acoustic guitar or folk guitar, mandolin, and upright bass are sometimes joined by the dobro (also known as a resophonic guitar or steel guitar), and a bass guitar is occasionally substituted for the upright bass. | | | Rather, bluegrass is an amalgam of old-time music, blues, ragtime and jazz. | | | As in jazz, bluegrass is played with each melody instrument switching off, playing the melody in turn while the others revert to backing; this is in contrast to Old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together or one instrument carried the lead throughout while the others provide accompaniment. |

| | Specific key characteristics are acknowledged by eighteenth-century music theorists (as Rita Steblein has demonstrated), and have their roots in Baroque Affektenlehre on the one hand, and the legacy of Renaissance modal practices on the other, where specific "major" and "minor" scales take on the identities of specific modes. | | | Modal types and tonal practices in music of the Classic era. | | | We will study the basic techniques and repertory of music in classic American documentary and feature films (excepting musicals) from the inception of sound to the present day. |

| | A Comparison of Free Jazz to 20th-Century Classical Music |
| | Qualities of folk music are also present in 20th-century classical music as in that of Ligeti, in his use of Hungarian scales in his "Piano Concerto," and in the use of folkloric motifs in his "Violin Concerto," which employs stylized descending motifs of Hungarian music representing grief. | | | A focus on Eastern and Mid-Eastern music and folksongs is also common to free jazz and to 20th-century classical music. | | | In such music, the notated meter is more of a framework for the performer than a description of a perceived meter. |

| | Urban musics in Africa are the result of the combining of local traditional elements with Western influences, such as the radio, the microphone, and music business, and instruments like the electric guitar, saxophone, trumpet, electric bass, keyboards and drumset. | | | All of these recorded examples of African uses of lamellaphones in urban music are from the past 50 years, but one of the earliest examples of the use of these instruments in recorded popular music is from the African Diaspora. | | | An important figure in early Zaïro-Congolese urban music was Antoine Moundanda who formed the band Likembé Géant in the early 1950s that used three giant likembe and played Congolese rumba, polkas, and traditional music and recorded many LPs for the Ngoma label. |

| | Trane had been studying Indian music, which was both modal and religious; he abandoned modal shifts and took the music to new heights. | | | This music, which began with Ornette Coleman, also avoided chord changes in the improvisation, but unlike modal jazz its sound was usually atonal and dissonant. | | | There was no commonly accepted mainstream jazz anymore, and so it had become more difficult for musicians to make a living; its appeal to a larger audience made hard bop a financially sensible music for a financially unstable time. |

| | Jazz Bulletin Board - Miles' first foray into modal |
| | Jazz scholar Barry Kernfeld, for example, calls this music "Vamp Music," explaining that this style does not fulfill the musical characteristics that scholars attribute to "Modal" music. | | | In brief, modality is a Medievil style based entirely on melody--not harmony: unlike Mozart's music, whose melodies are guided by, and outline, chord progressions in tonal keys, modal melodies need no reference to chords whatsoever. | | | I think many jazz musicians (wrongly) call a modal piece one based on one chord, or a two chord vamp, or with various cycles of the same. |

| | Modal music had a subtle tension produced by the fact that the solo lines, while melodic, didn't always progress or resolve exactly as the listener was accustomed to hearing; plus, every time a new mode was introduced, the tonal center shifted, keeping the listener just off balance with a subtle unpredictability. | | | Miles Davis was the first jazz musician to improvise and compose according to modal structure; his Kind of Blue is the definitive modal jazz album, and two of his sidemen on the record -- John Coltrane and Bill Evans -- later went on to become modal innovators in their own right. | | | Modal Music is not so much a style of jazz as it is a structure. |

| | Coltrane's move into modal music was governed by different principles than Coleman's melodic excursions; Sun Ra's attention to texture and rhythm created an entirely different big band sound than had Mingus's attention to form. | | | Jost studied the music (not the lives) of a selection of musicians- black jazz artists who pioneered a new form of African American music - to arrive at the most in-depth look so far at the phenomenon of free jazz. | | | As each convention of the old music was abrogated, new conventions arose, whether they were rhythmic, melodic, tonal, or compositional. |
