Straight, no chaser : drawing a parallel between architecture and music

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1996.Includes bibliographical references (p. 58).Architecture and music share the same vocabularies: rhythm, proportion, harmony, repetition, contrast, etc, and contain similar structure in terms of composition and spatial characteristics, Given these parallels, how can music principles be used to create and inform architectural compositions? The intent of this thesis is to investigate the relationship of these two art forms, seeking to establish a methodology through repetition, displacement, contrast, transition and other devices, which enables an understanding of the inherent nature of both, In order to generate the analogies of architecture and music, a multi-use art center will be the instrument through which the dynamics of architectural composition will be created, This new cultural facilities, containing the programmatic elements: art galleries, exposition space, and an auditorium will be located near the Dorchester Bay in New Squantum in North Quincy, Massachusetts, As the outcome of this exploration, this multi-use art center will establish the consciousness of memory which provides people with a variety of spatial experiences while moving through a sequence of spaces.by Chih-Jen Yeh.M.Arch

A performer\u27s guide to multimedia compositions for clarinet and visuals: a tutorial focusing on works by Joel Chabade, Merrill Ellis, William O. Smith, and Reynold Weidenaar.

The clarinetist of today is challenged by advancements in contemporary music and technology. In addition to the difficulties with contemporary clarinet techniques and with the onset of electronic music, multimedia compositions from the last forty years have presented an additional obstacle: the visual element. This written document provides a concise historical perspective of multimedia compositions utilizing clarinet and a tutorial focusing on the preparation of four multimedia works. A catalog of multimedia compositions for clarinet with visuals is included to provide information about literature and availability. This document contains an historical essay, summarizing developments in technology and changes in music composition from the late 1950s to the present, focusing on multimedia clarinet music. It also chronicles the development of multimedia music for the clarinet as both a solo and a chamber instrument. Four multimedia works are presented for study in this document. The pieces were selected according to several criteria such as date of composition, composer\u27s influence, availability, type of visual used, and success in performance or competition. Each piece is representative of one decade: 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. These include Joel Chadabe\u27s Street Scene (1967), Merrill Ellis\u27s A Dream Fantasy (1974), William O. Smith\u27s Slow Motion (1987), and Reynold Weidenaar\u27s Swing Bridge (1997), respectively. A chapter is provided for each of the composers represented by compositions in the recital to provide a biography of the composer, and a description of the piece used for performance in the lecture recital. A tutorial section for each piece offers a preparation and rehearsal guide as well as suggestions for set-up and performance. Clarinetists may be unaware of multimedia literature due to the absence of a catalog. This document includes a catalog of multimedia compositions to aid clarinetists in their search for performance literature. The goal of this recital and written document is to create an awareness and interest in this art form as well as to provide useful strategies for its preparation and performance
