<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">More thoughts on musical structure--if I was to create a meta-theory<br>
of music, I would include the following elements:<br>
<br>
*cell: any single sonic idea that is used as the basis of a work (such<br>
as a melody, harmony, rhythm, digital sample)<br>
*permutation: repetition with difference of a cell<br>
*transition: a gradual shift from one musical element to another<br>
*rhythm: linear, cyclic, or aperiodic distribution of events in time<br>
*tone: cyclic vibration with frequency, duration, timbre, amplitude<br>
*harmony: simultaneous tones<br>
*melody: sequence of tones<br>
*noise: a-periodic vibration with duration, timbre, and amplitude<br>
*texture: the overall consistency of a stable sound-object<br>
*plateau: consistent, repetitive sound structure<br>
*constraint: a set of (mathematical) rules that govern a musical<br>
structure, such as a Raga, a chord progression, serial procedure, or<br>
aleatoric procedure<br>
*slope: a gradual transition from one plateau to another<br>
*event: sound-object that is perceived as being unique and whose<br>
arrival cannot be predicted by the listener<br>
*signifier: sound-object that seems to refer to some signified which<br>
may or may not be musical<br>
