unusual facts about harmonic



A te

Jovanotti also added that both songs are based on a very simple harmonic line, which is adopted by houndreds of songs and which somebody believes was invented by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Common practice period

George Perle (1990) has argued that this amounts to "Tradition in 20th Century Music", the most significant element of which is the "shared premise of the harmonic equivalence of inversionally symmetrical pitch-class relations," among composers such as Edgard Varèse, Alban Berg, Béla Bartók, Arnold Schoenberg, Alexander Scriabin, Igor Stravinsky, Anton Webern, and himself.

Consonance and dissonance

Using electronically controlled pseudo-harmonic timbres, rather than strictly harmonic acoustic timbres, provides tonality with new structural resources such as Dynamic tonality.

Elias M. Stein

In 2005, Stein was awarded the Stefan Bergman prize in recognition of his contributions in real, complex, and harmonic analysis.

Fedor Nazarov

In 1999 Nazarov was awarded the Salem Prize "for his work in harmonic analysis, in particular, the uncertainty principle, and his contribution to the development of Bellman function methods".

Frequency modulation synthesis

Through the use of modulators with frequencies that are non-integer multiples of the carrier signal (i.e. non harmonic), atonal and tonal bell-like and percussive sounds can easily be created.

Gabor filter

Because of the multiplication-convolution property (Convolution theorem), the Fourier transform of a Gabor filter's impulse response is the convolution of the Fourier transform of the harmonic function and the Fourier transform of the Gaussian function.

Gerald Levinson

He was inspired by Messiaen's use of birdsong and his unique harmonic ideas, as well as the musics of Bali and India.

German submarine U-172

Having sunk the Vernon City south southeast of St Paul Rocks (between South America and Africa) on 28 June, she headed toward the Brazilian coast, where she caused the destruction of three more ships: the African Star (12 July), the Harmonic (15 July) and the Fort Chilcotin (24 July).

Giambattista Benedetti

James Tenney also used this method to develop his measure of "harmonic distance" (log(ab) is the harmonic distance for the ratio b/a measured from an arbitrary tonal center 1/1).

Harmonic seventh

This note is often corrected to 16:9 on the natural horn in just intonation or Pythagorean tunings, but the pure seventh harmonic was used in pieces including Britten's Serenade for tenor, horn and strings.

Jensen's formula

which is the Poisson formula for the harmonic function f(z)|.

Lissajous

Lissajous curve (or figure, or spiral), a mathematical figure showing a type of harmonic motion

Melo HVDC Back-to-back station

From the Melo station a 128 kilometres long 525 kV powerline, of which 65 km are situated in Uruguay, runs to a newly built 525 kV/230 kV substation close to the Candiota power station, which contains some harmonic filters.

Minor scale

In popular music, examples of songs in harmonic minor include "Easy Please Me" by Katy B, which is a pop song, in rare instances, written in pure harmonic minor.

Molecular Hamiltonian

This is also called the "Harmonic vibrational and rigid-rotor model."

Music for 18 Musicians

Some sections of the piece have a chiastic ABCDCBA structure, and Reich noted that this one work contained more harmonic movement in the first five minutes than any other work he had previously written.

Numerically controlled oscillator

Spurious products are the result of harmonic or non-harmonic distortion in the creation of the output waveform due to non-linear numerical effects in the signal processing chain.

OpenCaster

OpenCaster has been successfully integrated with a long list of broadcasting products, among them there are products by Adtec, Cisco/Scientific Atlanta, Deltacast, Dektec, Ericsson/Tandberg Television, Eurotek, Harmonic/Scopus, MainConcept, Mitan, Screen Service, Sr-Systems, Wellav, ...

Organ and organists of Chester Cathedral

The organ was rebuilt and enlarged by Whiteley Bros. of Chester in 1876, to include harmonic flutes and reeds by Cavaillé-Coll.

Potential theory

Another important result is Liouville's theorem, which states the only bounded harmonic functions defined on the whole of Rn are, in fact, constant functions.

Radó–Kneser–Choquet theorem

In mathematics, the Radó–Kneser–Choquet theorem, named after Tibor Radó, Hellmuth Kneser and Gustave Choquet, states that the Poisson integral of a homeomorphism of the unit circle is a harmonic diffeomorphism of the open unit disk.

Robert Carl

Duke Meets Mort (1992) is a saxophone quartet that interprets the harmonic changes of Duke Ellington’s Mood Indigo in the voice of Morton Feldman.

Saxotromba

These pitches are known as the instrument's natural or normal modes of vibration, each one being a natural harmonic or open note.

Takanori Okoshi

His bachelor's thesis work, "The Generation of Millimeter Waves by Harmonic Generators" was published in the journal of the Institute of Electrical Communications Engineers of Japan.

The Four Freshmen

The Four Freshmen is an American male vocal band quartet that blends open-harmonic jazz arrangements with the big band vocal group sounds of The Modernaires (Glenn Miller), The Pied Pipers (Tommy Dorsey), and The Mel-Tones (Artie Shaw), founded in the barbershop tradition.

Throat singing

Overtone singing, also known as overtone chanting, or harmonic singing

Tide-predicting machine

Darwin's harmonic developments of the tide-generating forces were later brought by A T Doodson up to date and extended in light of the new and more accurate lunar theory of E W Brown that remained current through most of the twentieth century.

Tuned filter

When choruses sing in tune, the music reinforces itself with higher harmonics; aesthetically, the notes are more pleasing to the ear.

Unified field

In Béla Bartók's Bagatelles, and several of Alfredo Casella's Nine Piano Pieces such as No. 4 'In Modo Burlesco' the close intervallic relationship between motive and chord creates or justifies the great harmonic dissonance.

Waleed Aly

His International Baccalaureate-extended essay was formal harmonic and structural analysis of 'Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody'.

Yolande Uyttenhove

Her music owed much to that of the Romantics, especially Gabriel Fauré, and borrowed from medieval traditions as well; it was enhanced through modern harmonic structures.

York Bowen

Bowen’s compositional style is widely considered as ‘Romantic’ and his works are often characterized by their rich harmonic language.
