Original Visualization

18244

This was the first task we were assigned concerning notation. This take home assignment required the class to look at and listen to a Gregorian Chant. With this, we were able to create our own visualization of the music we listened to.

My notation description:
"The way I notated this piece was more by feel than theory based. When I hear music, this is how I envision it in my head. Because this is a chant, it was easier to visualize in my head. The dots signify the placements of the note in my voice. The lines tell me how long my note should last according to the words. The line stays the same in between two dots if the note is elongated. The measures are notated by a (/\) while the end of the piece is signified by (\/). I did not specify a key because I feel as though chant music adapted and sung in any key. Especially when singing about God, I feel one should be inspired and no restricted or confined to one key."

This assignment was the first step to actualizing my visualization of music. From this, I was not only able to articulate my initial way of viewing music but I was also able to expand and allow this visualization to grow. This particular exercise also allowed me to notice the relevance of keys and key signatures.
