Exam II Flashcards
Probe-Tone Technique
tone profile study- played harmonic progression and then probe tone to see how close they are
Key Profile
Plotting an avg rating of each note and how it fits into the key
Corpus
Large body of musical work grouped together based on some commonality
Chart of Regions
Depicts how certain keys are related (Schoenberg)
Meter
Regular framework of beats/points in time that are accented
Phenomenal Accent
Something in the music that causes us to infer a strong beat
Tactus
The beat level that we tap to (typically the quarter or dotted quarter note)
Syncopation
Conflict between between meter and phenomenal accent
Dynamic Attending Theory
Theory that meter shapes attention, processing of a note occurs best on stronger beats
Entrainment
The ability to perceive meter and then synchronize motion with it
Reversal
Our expectation that when there is a leap, the melody will change direction
Inertia
After a step, we expect to keep going in the same direction
Priming
You process an event better/more quickly
Markov Model
Displays probability of something based on what happened previously (e.g. scale degree, interval, pitch, etc.)
Schematic Expectation
Based on general musical knowledge (style, chord progression, etc.)
Vertical Expectation
Based on knowledge of what actually happens in the piece
