Mathematics and Music: Composition, Perception, and Performance
Autor James S. Walker, Gary Donen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 feb 2023
The new edition includes more illustrations than the previous one and the added sections deal with the XronoMorph rhythm generator, musical composition, and analyzing personal performance.
The text teaches the basics of reading music, explaining how various patterns in music can be described with mathematics, providing mathematical explanations for musical scales, harmony, and rhythm. The book gives students a deeper appreciation showing how music is informed by both its mathematical and aesthetic structures.
Highlights of the Second Edition:
- Now updated for more consistent expectations of students’ backgrounds
- More accessible for students with limited musical backgrounds
- Full-color presentation
- Includes more thorough coverage of spectrograms for analyzing recorded music
- Provides a basic introduction to reading music
- Features new coverage of building and evaluating rhythms
