Music

Vernacular music and cultivated music are both valued in various ways. Vernacular music for instance, gives a more decent and fair representation of the cultural background of a society. Vernacular music is more focused on the dances, instruments and adherence to customs of a specific region. This paper also incorporates different aspects of upbringing, as well as the provision of a clear distinction and unity between cultivated music and vernacular music.The vernacular music I chose is the inspiration, Hill song United which brings out the clear representation of the society as a whole as well as the feeling that music is only a matter of consuming it. In most non vernacular societies, music is specially made to be sold as a product for the purpose of consumption (Paula, 2002). This in most cases does not fully aim at the local market, but the commercial sectors. Capitalism has over the years, shaped art into becoming products through market pressures.Music is sold worldwide, with most of the buyers flooding in the market to vend as products to be marketed and sold for a living. The cultivated music, which is highly popular with most people, is highly appreciated, depending on the taste and preference of the market. In most cases, sales of vernacular music tend to be lower as compared to cultivated and highly modified music. In most cases, artists tend to be more creative in making cultivated music for their target markets.The cultivated form I intend to use is the Chamber music, which can clearly be compared and contrasted to the vernacular hill song music. In my opinion, both vernacular and cultivated music have a big role to play in the society (Heller, 2004). Despite their mentioned differences, like religion, economy and numerous global languages, both are understood. However, vernacular is well understood as compared to cultivated, depending on the locality of the listeners and their background.ConclusionMusic is of course completely connected with instrumentation. Some instruments used in vernacular as bamboo flutes and Djembe drums. In cultivated music, these instruments are just modified to fit into various rhythms. This way, the growth of different musical instruments is obvious (Douglas, 2002). Mankind therefore, cherishes both these types of music to a large extent, despite the differences in both. This makes it very possible to appreciate both vernacular and cultivated music.

Chapter 4 Objectives
In this chapter, students will learn the following:
•    The four distinctive features of melody
•    Scale systems in Western Music
•    Scale-like systems in non-Western musics
•    An introduction to chords and harmonization in Western and non-Western musics
Overview
Pitch is the element of music determined by its frequency. Tones may have either determinate or indeterminate pitch.  One melody may be distinguished from another by its basic features such as range, direction, character, and contour.
Each musical culture has its own pitch system in which an octave is divided into a set number of pitches and organized into pitch systems including the Western scales and similar systems unique to other musical cultures. Each culture also has its process for modulation, ornamentation, etc.
A brief introduction to the relation of pitch to chords and harmony with both Western and non-Western systems concludes the chapter.

CHAPTER FIVE – HOW MUSIC WORKS, PART III: Dynamics, timbre, and instruments

Chapter 5 Music Journal Assignment
Chapter 5 Objectives
In this chapter, you will learn the following:
•    The element of dynamics, having to do with the relative loudness and softness of tones
•    The element of timbre, which relates to the sound quality or “tone quality” of a sound
•    Musical instruments, the actual material objects (including the human body) responsible for generating the tones we hear in music and their classification through the Sachs-Hornbostel system
Overview
Dynamic ranges (the levels of volume) in music may cover a spectrum from silence to deafening loudness. Such dynamic contrast is an important aspect of music with varying dynamic ranges found in different styles and types of music.
Describing differences in timbre is challenging because the available English language vocabulary is highly subjective. Music borrows words from other disciplines to describe the different qualities of sound. Despite the challenges inherent in describing timbre, doing so is important in distinguishing between music traditions, styles, instruments, and performers. Technically, timbre is a product of relationships between the partials that constitute musical tones.
One good way to start to identify the different timbres we hear in sound is to think of them as different colors.  Think of a color that comes to mind when hearing the Biwa from Japan, the color you would give to the timbre of the Balafon from West Africa, the color of the Trumpet played by Miles Davis with his Harmon mute inserted without the stem inside of it, or the color that comes to mind when you hear the Aboriginal Australian instrument called the didjeridu.  Each will have its own unique hue.
It is also good to think in terms of light or dark shades which help describe these tone quality (timbre) descriptions. The brightness of a flute being played up in a high range as compared to that same flute playing the lower to lowest pitches (on a regular concert flute down to a “C” or with the B foot extension, a low “B”). When these lower notes are sounding that same flute has a much darker and earthy quality of sound or timbre.
Instruments are divided into five classifications by the Sachs-Hornbostel classification system: chordophones, aerophones, membranophones, idiophones and electronophones. Each culture, however, has its own specific system of classifying instruments used in within the musics of that culture.

Dynamics
The dynamics in music refers to the how loud or soft different tones in music are. Gradations along the continuum of dynamics are generally referred to as very soft, soft, medium, loud, very loud or by a set of Italian musicals (such as piano, mezzo piano, etc) If the dynamic level gradually changes from softer to louder, the volume is said to crescendo. If the dynamic level gradually changes from louder to softer, the volume is said to decrescendo.

Playing the Didjeridu
The didjeridu is known by many names in Australia including didgeridoo, didjeridu, digeridoo, yidaki, and a wide number of tribal names. In this lesson, the instrument name will be the one used by the author, instrument maker, or performer cited. The following table shows some of the names used for this instrument among Aboriginal peoples in Australia:

Aboriginal Tribe    Australian Region    Didgeridoo Name
Anindilyakwa    Groote Eylandt    ngarrriralkpwina
Arrernte    Alice Springs    ilpirra
Djinang    Arnhem Land    yirtakki
Gagudju    Kakadu    garnbak
Gupapuygu    Arnhem Land    yiraka
Iwaidja    Cobourg Peninsula    wuyimba
Jawoyn    Katherine    artawirr
Lardil    Mornington Island    djibolu
Mayali    Alligator River    martba
Ngarluma    Roebourne    kurmur
NyulNyul    Kimberley    ngaribi
Pintupi    Central Australia    paampu
Warray    Adelaide River    bambu

Traditionally, the didjeridu is constructed from a long branch that has been hollowed out by termites. The bark is removed, the outside of the branch smoothed by a blade or sanding, and the inside cleaned to remove debris. Finally, designs are painted in ochre (traditional designs) or various modern paints. The narrower end is coated with beeswax to form a comfortable mouthpiece. The pitches are limited to the fundamental and very few partials based on the length of the instrument. Some contemporary makers, however, have designed chromatic didgeridoos from ballistic plastics through inserting a smaller tube to serve as a slide much like the orchestral trombone. Such chromatic instruments are often used by studio players who need a range of pitches to accompany different songs without the need for carrying many didgeridoos into the studio.
The player blows into the didjeridu using a loose buzzing of the lips. Placement on the lips is determined by individual preference or ease of tone production, but numerous players place the instrument toward one side of the mouth. Different effects are created by voicing sounds in the throat and by manipulating the relationship between the fundamental and its harmonics in a variety of ways.
A beginning player may create basic effects through using the tongue to change the size of the air chamber within the mouth, varying intensity or breath or simply voicing the vowel sounds through the instrument much as would a ventriloquist. Lip tension may make some changes in the timbre and pitch.

Throat Singing (Harmonic Overtone Singing—“Multiphonic”) from Mongolia and Tuva
•    Each pitch produced by a voice or an instrument does not consist of a single sound.
•    What is actually produced is a fundamental tone—the tone our ear perceives as the basic pitch of the sound, and a series of harmonics (also called overtones).
•    Khoomii means “throat singing”
•    The name derives from an Inner Asian word for “throat.”
•    By manipulating the mouth cavity and the position of the tongue, the singer causes one additional partial (harmonic or overtone) to be heard above the fundamental.
•    Some singers can sound a third partial (Harmonic or overtone) at the same time.
•    Kargyraa (car-gee-RAH”) is a type of khoomii that has a fundamental sung in a low register with a husky vocal quality (timbre).
•    Sometimes the Kargyraa style can have a text (words) that the singer sings.
•    The word Kargyraa is an onomatopoeic word for wheezing or speaking in a hoarse or husky voice.
•    Another common style of throat singing is Sygyt (“SUH-gut”)—this has a higher pitched fundamental than Kargyraa.
•    Sygyt produces clear harmonics that sound like whistling
