Document Summary
Lecture 8 - guest lecture (cecilia livingston) [3/6/13] Composers used to have patrons (who paid them), they were an employee. Film music now a days similar to how musicians worked in the past. Joseph haydn was a servant of the court. Have to have basic knowledge (craft) to be able to compose music, it allows you to start writing. Need to be able to rule out what they can do = drawing a box . Writing a piece that will be played indoors is diff frm outdoors. Sequencer - works directly w/ sound (eg garage band) Music notation hasn t always been the same throughout history. Earlier was less detailed and was more of a memory jogger. Lead sheet - in the middle between writing everything down and remembering, freedom for improvisation. Western classical score - everything is notated and written.
