Similarity to this with REFERENTIALITY and formalism (structural meaning, limited just getting that aspect really only for musicians) and expressionism, emotions more for normal being I guess.

Answer 8

Behavioural responses, teears
Obsvable.

Physiological responses: gsr electrical conductivity, heart rate blood pressure, emg (muscle tension)

Mood responses
Descriptions of music. Adj. subjective though.

(Slightly different ideas from performance anx)

So ppl do rpond differently to music, and not necessarily consistant.

Question 9

Two basic types of music

Answer 9

Stimulative

Sedative: most ppl think classical is this.

Can be differentiated on a number of levels.
Tempo, complexity, volume predictability,

Outside of that very little agreement.

Adjective wheel.

Elemts of music like pitch level and tempo change greatly effected how music w described as well as key changes. Major minor. Timbre Chang aren’t that effective at changing emotions,

Answer 13

Pieces have multiple meanings depending who you are.

Monteverdi knew emotional codes, used devices to elicit mods, some data supuggests all music.
Rela to musical aesthetics.

Compared to Indian ragas joy sadness anger and peace, we’re able to distinguish them. complexity and tempo imp.
Arousal and pos neg valence.
can’t say no connection between emotion and music. Never one to one, more of an agreement than by chance. Composer and performer can both do things to convey things,

Pos neg = complex or easy.
Arousal level depends on tempo. I think. Oversimplification no doubt but that’s ok.

Question 14

The process.
But first distinctions

Answer 14

Preference (musical)
Behavioural, can be seen,

Vs

Attitude: internal, not expressed behaviourally. An opinion. Eg. I like classical music. Usually written.

Taste is value laden and a term seldom used now.

Does one predict the other?
No, fake it to make it idea I guess. Attitude behaviour mismatch.

Attitude imp. For educators.

Question 15

What is good music (Art)

Answer 15

Relevance, connecting, emotion. Well-done

Contrasting views
Inherent aspects of musicL stim. With education conform to aesthetic ideal. No social aesthetic, formalism,

Relativism, any art has value within a particular culture for particular people.
Postmodernism,

Farnsworth: stagility of music historians preference test of time composers. Tabulated.
