Cat 'n' Missy's Badaz Thread

[MissyP89]

When I learned the alto line, I learned it as a half step. And then I hear it on some recordings and it's a half, others a whole...

At Chaput's installation, it was definitely a whole and I got all twisted over it. LOL.

I was def not impressed by music at his installation.


lol

I laugh because I remembered the term at work. "musica Ficta" Which is basically the Latin way of saying "fakin' da funk"



[i][b]Musica ficta[/b][/i] (from Latin, 'false', 'feigned', or 'contrived' music) was a term used in European music theory from the late 12th century to about 1600 to describe any pitches, whether notated or to be added by performers in accordance with their training, that lie outside the system of [i]musica recta[/i] or [i]musica vera[/i] ('correct' or 'true' music) as defined by the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guidonian_hand#Hexachord_in_Middle_Ages"]hexachord system[/url] of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_of_Arezzo"]Guido of Arezzo[/url]. In modern usage, the term is often loosely applied to all unnotated inflections (whether properly [i]recta[/i] or [i]ficta[/i]) that must be inferred from the musical context and added either by an editor or by the performers themselves (Bent and Silbiger 2001).
One common (though not exclusive) use of [i]ficta[/i] was to avoid harsh [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmony"]harmonic[/url] or [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody"]melodic[/url] intervals such as the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone"]tritone[/url], for example the use of a E♭ instead of a E♮ to avoid dissonance with a B♭ in another part. In modern transcriptions of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_music"]medieval[/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_music"]Renaissance music[/url], [i]ficta[/i] are usually indicated by an [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accidental_(music)"]"accidental" sign[/url] appearing above the note. (In modern notation, accidentals are written before the note, not above.) Editors provide these [i]ficta[/i] for modern singers, whereas the kind of training given to singers of that time may have made such indications unnecessary.

So.. today I am going to go talk money with my boss. Since I am living in Ave and he wants to make me night manager/supervisor, I expect a significant increase. Also, I've been there 3 years and never had a raise. That's at least a $2.50/hour raise. Right? But... the ppl who work at the cafe - some of them make that already. So maybe I can get more? lol. Doubtful. But a girl can hope, no? lol.

Regardless, that you get a decent raise and the situation becomes more amenable.
