In music, which employs pure tone, all the elements of space are suppressed, and hence its content is the inner emoti0nal nature (Gemuth). | | | He seems, however, to distinguish poetry, music, and dancing – all of which are supposed to imitate some element of human nature, some feeling or action – by the means they employ, namely, rhythm, harmony, melody, and vocal sound. |

| | UVa Library Exhibit: American Theatre |
| | The basic roots of the modern musical began with the introduction of the minstrel show in the early to mid-nineteenth century. | | | Some form of music had often accompanied stage performances in the eighteenth century, but the incorporation of music as an integral part of a show began with the development of minstrelsy, which featured song and dance. | | | Coinciding with the popularity of the musical itself was the introduction of the cast recording that brought the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein into the homes of countless Americans, many of whom had never seen the show. |

| | The Greek Byzantine Choir - Byzantine Music |
| | Byzantine Music is a musical world of its own, with its own principles, its own quite characteristic "ethos", with an underlying philosophical viewpoint and its own theoretical lines of research as far as musical structure and development are concerned. | | | The isocratima is an art on its own; this Greek term means "to hold the ison", that is the base note of the musical "mode" in which the troparion is chanted, and this note moves in relation with the fluctuations of the mode. | | | The mode (echos in Greek), understood as the relative arrangement of the whole tones and semitones in a sequence of notes, is the central element on which the organization of Byzantine Music is based. |

| | Functional concepts of Musical Form |
| | It is a method based on the functional and procedural understanding of the musical form and on the research of the compositional structures in their historical development and in their genre and style context. | | | Asafiev describes music as "the art of meaning that can be intoned." and reaches the conclusion that musical form represents an intonational process whose logical basis lies in three general developmental functions: initio-motus-terminus. | | | However, the most important aspect, and traditionally characteristic to the Russian theory of music, is that behind all the analytical procedures and theoretical construction hides the perennial question of the musical form as artistic phenomenon. |
