Lady Chatterley’s Lover “… and there is haunting music from Richard Hodges which stays in your subconscious after the evening has ended”. British Theatre Guide, Buxton Opera House Performance, Steve Orme “Well acted, though a little stark for me - but I loved the music” The Comet, Stevenage, Maureen Millard www.derby.ac.uk/arts

Music Cognition Music and the Brain Perception of Pitch, Rhythm and Tonality Memory Emotion and Personality www.derby.ac.uk/arts

Tonality “Tonality, in music, principle of organizing musical compositions around a central note, the tonic. Generally, any Western or non-Western music periodically returning to a central, or focal, tone exhibits tonality.” Encyclopaedia Britannica www.derby.ac.uk/arts

Roger N. Shepard Pitch Helix (1964) www.derby.ac.uk/arts

Some important definitions: Octave Equivalence Pitch Height Chroma Modulation www.derby.ac.uk/arts

Tonality “More specifically, tonality refers to the particular system of relationships between notes, chords, and keys (sets of notes and chords) that dominated most Western music from c. 1650 to c. 1900 and that continues to regulate much music.” Encyclopaedia Britannica www.derby.ac.uk/arts
