Cat, something is really bothering me.

Victoria's Ave...

You know when it goes "vennntris tui" in the alto line?

(I don't know what the notes are because I don't have the score. Sorry.)

Some choirs go down a whole step in "ven-tris," and others go down a half ... and when they go down a whole step it sounds weird/wrong.

Is it wrong?

[missionseeker]

It could be. I don't have the music in front of me, but there are places in ancient manuscripts where there are descrepancies. That very well may be one. Or a typo. I never memorized the alto line so I'm not sure. Odds are if it sounds weird, it should be a half step. There's actually a technical term for turning renaissance notes written as a whole to half. I forgot it though. Cuz I am tired. lol.

[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.

[missionseeker]

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.
