Learning Music Theory with Logic, Max, and Finale

By: Geoffrey Kidde

Learning Music Theory with Logic, Max, and Finale is a groundbreaking resource that bridges the gap between music theory teaching and the world of music software programs. Focusing on three key programs—the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Logic, the Audio Programming Language (APL) Max, and the music-printing program Finale—this book shows how they can be used together to learn music theory. It provides an introduction to core music theory concepts and shows how to develop programming skills alongside music theory skills. Software tools form an essential part of the modern musical environment; laptop musicians today can harness incredibly powerful tools to create, record, and manipulate sounds. Yet these programs on their own don’t provide musicians with an understanding of music notation and structures, while traditional music theory teaching doesn’t fully engage with technological capabilities. With clear and practical applications, this book demonstrates how to use DAWs, APLs, and music-printing programs to create interactive resources for learning the mechanics behind how music works. Offering an innovative approach to the learning and teaching of music theory in the context of diverse musical genres, this volume provides game-changing ideas for educators, practicing musicians, and students of music.

The Canterbury Tales, and Other Poems - Geoffrey Chaucer

By: Geoffrey Chaucer

THE object of this volume is to place before the general reader our two early poetic masterpieces — The Canterbury Tales and The Faerie Queen; to do so in a way that will render their "popular perusal" easy in a time of little leisure and unbounded temptations to intellectual languor; and, on the same conditions, to present a liberal and fairly representative selection from the less important and familiar poems of Chaucer and Spenser. There is, it may be said at the outset, peculiar advantage and propriety in placing the two poets side by side in the manner now attempted for the first time. Although two centuries divide them, yet Spenser is the direct and really the immediate successor to the poetical inheritance of Chaucer. Those two hundred years, eventful as they were, produced no poet at all worthy to take up the mantle that fell from Chaucer's shoulders; and Spenser does not need his affected archaisms, nor his frequent and reverent appeals to "Dan Geffrey," to vindicate for himself a place very close to his great predecessor in the literary history of England. If Chaucer is the "Well of English undefiled," Spenser is the broad and stately river that yet holds the tenure of its very life from the fountain far away in other and ruder scenes. The Canterbury Tales, so far as they are in verse, have been printed without any abridgement or designed change in the sense. But the two Tales in prose — Chaucer's Tale of Meliboeus, and the Parson's long Sermon on Penitence — have been contracted, so as to exclude thirty pages of unattractive prose, and to admit the same amount of interesting and characteristic poetry. The gaps thus made in the prose Tales, however, are supplied by careful outlines of the omitted matter, so that the reader need be at no loss to comprehend the whole scope and sequence of the original. With The Faerie Queen a bolder course has been pursued.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Troilus and Criseyde

By: Geoffrey Chaucer

Troilus and Criseyde" is a narrative poem written by Geoffrey Chaucer, often considered one of the greatest English poets of the Middle Ages. Chaucer, known as the "Father of English Literature," composed this work in the 1380s. The poem is considered one of Chaucer's major achievements and is a significant piece of Middle English literature. Key features of "Troilus and Criseyde" include: 1. **Setting:** The poem is set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, focusing on the tragic love story between the Trojan prince Troilus and Criseyde (or Cressida), a woman associated with the Greek camp. 2. **Narrative Structure:** "Troilus and Criseyde" is written in rhyme royal, a seven-line stanza form. It follows the conventions of courtly love poetry, a popular genre in medieval literature. 3. **Characters:** The characters in the poem are richly developed, and their emotions and motivations are intricately portrayed. The central figures include Troilus, Criseyde, Pandarus (Criseyde's uncle), and other characters from Greek and Trojan mythology. 4. **Love, Betrayal, and Fate:** The narrative revolves around the theme of love and its complexities, exploring the intense and ultimately tragic love between Troilus and Criseyde. The story delves into issues of loyalty, betrayal, and the role of fate in shaping human lives. 5. **Influence:** Chaucer's work has had a lasting impact, and "Troilus and Criseyde" has inspired adaptations and interpretations in various art forms, including literature and drama. The poem showcases Chaucer's skill in narrative storytelling and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion. "Troilus and Criseyde" stands as an important work within the broader context of medieval literature and is a testament to Chaucer's contribution to the development of the English literary tradition.
