Schematizing the Treatment of Dissonance in 16th-Century Counterpoint
We describe a computational project concerning labeling of dissonance treatments – schematic descriptions of the uses of dissonances. We use automatic score annotation and database methods to develop schemata for a large corpus of 16th-century polyphonic music. We then apply structural techniques to investigate coincidence of schemata, and to extrapolate from found structures to unused possibil...
متن کاملInstrumental Idiom in the 16th Century: Embellishment Patterns in Arrangements of Vocal Music
Much surviving 16th-century instrumental music consists of arrangements (‘intabulations’) of vocal music, in tablature for solo lute. Intabulating involved deciding what to omit from a score to fit the instrument, and making it fit under the hand. Notes were usually added as embellishments to the original plain score, using idiomatic patterns, typically at cadences, but often filling simple int...

Like the monks of old, who studiously labored over the production of el...
متن کامل16th century Persian tiles in dialogue with 21st century digital tiles in the Sadrian universe

متن کاملGlobal health diplomacy: a ‘Deus ex Machina’ for international development and relations; Comment on “A Ghost in the Machine? Politics in Global Health Policy”
Brugha and Bruen (2014) raise a number of compelling issues related to the interaction between politics and policy in the global health context. The first question that their views invite is whether this is, at heart, best characterized as a benign or malign influence. Many commentators have suggested that this overlap should be discouraged (see, for example, Marseille et al 2002; Thomas & Webe...
