Belle Qui Tiens Ma Vie The music of the Renaissance Period was heard in our cathedrals, the Halls of Nobility, and even peoples’ homes. The Renaissance music was between the Medieval and Baroque times, about 1450-1600. Some of the instruments were bagpipers, singing peddlers, and pipe-and-drummers. Composers from Northern France, Belgium, and Holland brought the music to its highest point with new styles. In the nearby Netherland Schools, they were greatly interested in the different voices. In these songs, people could hear harmony because of melodic lines.
Pavane – the most typical of 16 th century dances, a stately processional performed by couples. Its steps are simple enough but as in all slow dances, demand controlled deportment and posture. The name pavane means “dance from Padua” or “peacock’s dance.” The latter interpretation may well refer to the dancer’s proud and even swaggering bearing. A pavane is often followed by a gaillard e Thoinot Arbeau For most of the dances described in Thoinot Arbeau’s Orchesographie, published in Langues in 1589, only a melody is given, but in the sixteenth century it was common for dance music to be provided by a band of loud or soft (haut or bas) instruments as the occasion demanded. Arbeau himself gives us information with which to begin our search for appropriate multi-part dance music when he suggests to his pupil, Capriol, that he look in the books of music printed by Pierre Attaignant and by Nicolas du Chemin in Paris for more music for basses dances and pavans. Attaignant’s dance books are extant and have been published both in facsimile and in modern editions.
The Term Paper on Electronic Dance Music
Electronic dance music (also known as EDM, dance music, club music, or simply dance) is a set of percussive electronic music genres produced primarily for dance-based entertainment environments, such as nightclubs. Dance music is generally produced for use by DJs and is most often presented in the context of a DJ mix.[1] So called “DJ producers” often perform live sets of their own ...
Nicolas du Chemin published the dance music arranged by Jean D’Estree, but only the super ius and bassus parts of the first three books and only the bassus part of the fourth book survive. Fortunately, there are a number of books of dance music which were published in the second half of the sixteenth century, all intended for the same middle class amateur audience. Many are not ensemble books, but books of music for solo lute, cittern, or guitar; however, ensemble setting of the music for Arbeau’s dances can easily be made from these. Many sixteenth century dances were not associated with specific melodies, but could be danced to any appropriate music.
Pavans, gaillard es, branles simples, and branles doubles, branles ga is, and the sixteenth century basse danse commun, for example, could be danced to a number of tunes, and so Arbeau could direct Capriol to the readily available collections of dance music for a variety of tunes to dance to. For mimetic dances or for dances with special length or cadent ial requirements it is necessary to look for settings of the particular tunes Arbeau gives, for in these cases dance and tune are closely associated and general interchangeability of music is not the case. How to play the piece This is a grade 2 piece but that does not mean that it is easy because of all of the hard articulations and things in this music it is actually not that easy. The Quarter note in this particular piece should be around 80, 90, and 100. The note value of 80 would best suit a concert band considering that the listener, at slow tempos, pays more attention to what the music sounds like which makes them focus less on what the tune is. The piece should be played with little or no tongue and with a smooth flowing feeling to the music.
The intonation in this piece is very noticeable in the sense that if you make on little ‘crack’ in your playing, it is very noticeable so you must be careful. You must play this piece with very good phrasing and dynamics. Well, that just about wraps up my report on the music we had to play for the district festival, I’m all bummed out so… Good Night -Dr Samuels.
The Essay on History of Electronic Dance Music
Electronic Dance Music, also known as EDM (we at Poached Mag are not exactly big fans of that acronym), has in recent years, taken over commercial music by storm. Big name producers such as David Guetta, Skrillex and Armin van Buuren have dominated airplay, and current crowd-friendly artistes like Rihanna and Lady Gaga have incorporated electronic elements into their pop-till-you-drop chart- ...
