A Comparison of Milton\u27s Treatment of Death in Death of a Fair Infant and Marchioness of Winchester

It is a tribute to Milton\u27s genius to study his delicate line of demarcation between the treatment of death in Marchioness of Winchester and Death of a Fair Infant. In the latter poem, Mi.lton imbues his work with a tone of comfort and hope-a tone which we do not find in the former poem. Of course, we must keep in mind the fact that in Death of a Fair Infant, Milton was emotionally connected with the deceased, and would naturally inject his lines with a note of personal grief and sympathy for the bereaved. Upon contemplating Milton\u27s lines, the reader is aware that his treatment of death is in perfect harmony with the subject. There are beautiful allusions to light, somewhat ethereal figures, and nowhere do we find ponderous passages of dark, black mourning which would add a grimness totally out of keeping with the qualities of fancy in this poem. He tells the lamenting mother that her loss is a gift of God, and closes his poem on a rather enigmatic note of promise

Automatic note generator for Javanese gamelan music accompaniment using deep learning

Javanese gamelan is a traditional form of music from Indonesia with a variety of styles and patterns. One of these patterns is the harmony music of the Bonang Barung and Bonang Penerus instruments. When playing gamelan, the resulting patterns can vary based on the music’s rhythm or dynamics, which can be challenging for novice players unfamiliar with the gamelan rules and notation system, which only provides melodic notes. Unlike in modern music, where harmony notes are often the same for all instruments, harmony music in Javanese gamelan is vital in establishing the character of a song. With technological advancements, musical composition can be generated automatically without human participation, which has become a trend in music generation research. This study proposes a method to generate musical accompaniment notes for harmony music using a bidirectional long-term memory (BiLSTM) network and compares it with recurrent neural network (RNN) and long-term memory (LSTM) models that use numerical notation to represent musical data, making it easier to learn the variations of harmony music in Javanese gamelan. This method replaces the gamelan composer in completing the notation for all the instruments in a song. To evaluate the generated harmonic music, note distance, dynamic time warping (DTW), and cross-correlation techniques were used to measure the distance between the system-generated results and the gamelan composer's creations. In addition, audio features were extracted and used to visualize the audio. The experimental results show that all models produced better accuracy results when using all features of the song, reaching a value of around 90%, compared to using only 2 features (rhythm and note of melody), which reached 65-70%. Furthermore, the BiLSTM model produced musical harmonies that were more similar to the original music (+93%) than those generated by the LSTM (+92%) and RNN (+90%). This study can be applied to performing Javanese gamelan music

Persepsi Guyub Tutur Manggarai Tentang Signifikansi Harmoni Sosial: Analisis Linguistik Kebudayaan

This study examines the perception of Manggarai speech community (MSC) on the significance of social harmony in terms of cultural linguistics. In accordance with its problem, this study is descriptive-qualitative based on phenomenological philosophy. The methods and techniques of data collection are observation, interview, recording, note-taking, and documentation study. Data was analyzed qualitatively by using inductive method and encoding technique. The result of study shows, there are a number of traditional expressions in Manggarai language and culture conveying the perception of MSC on the significance of social harmony. In terms of the forms and meanings of linguistic phenomena used, such traditional expressions are the cultural oases inherited from the past functioning as moral and ethic guideline for MSC in maintaining social harmony. Recognizing the contents of those traditional expressions have been reduced out of function frame and meaning schema declared by their ancestors, such traditional expression should be documented, so that their social values be maintained according to real substances in the life of MSC nowadays and in the future

Song walker harmony space: embodied interaction design for complex musical skills

Tonal harmony is widely considered to be the most technical and complex part of music theory. Consequently harmonic skills can be hard to acquire. Furthermore, experience of the flexible manipulation of harmony in real time generally requires the ability to play an instrument. Even for those with instrumental skills, it can be difficult to gain clear insight into harmonic abstractions. The above state of affairs gives rise to substantial barriers not only for beginners but also for many experienced musicians. To address these problems, Harmony Space (Holland et al. 2009) is an interactive digital music system designed to give insight into a wide range of musical tasks in tonal harmony, ranging from performance and composition to analysis. Harmony Space employs a principled set of spatial mappings to offer fluid, precise, intuitive control of harmony. These mappings give rise to sensory-motor and music-theoretic affordances that are hard to obtain in any other way. As a result, harmonic abstractions are rendered amenable to concrete, visible control by simple spatial manipulation. In the language of conceptual metaphor theory, many relationships in tonal harmony become accessible to rapid, universal, low-level, robust human inference mechanisms using image schemata such as containment, contact, centre-periphery, and source-path-goal. This process is more rapid, and imposes far less cognitive load, than slow, abstract symbolic reasoning. Using the above principles, several versions of Harmony Space have been de-signed to exploit specific interaction styles for different purposes. We note some key variants, such as the desktop version (Holland 1994), the camera tracked version (Holland et al. 2009), while focusing principally on the most recent version, Song Walker (Holland et al. 2011), which employs whole body interaction. Preliminary results from a study of the Song Walker system are outlined, in which both beginners and expert musicians undertook a range of musical tasks involving the performance, composition and analysis of music. Finally, we offer a discussion of the limitations of the current system, and outline directions for future wor
