COLOR

What is color in music ? 2 DIFFERENT ANALOGIES: TIMBRE PITCH (HARMONY/SCALES)

TIMBRE - SOUND QUALITY - SOUND COLOR Vocal music examples Gregorian chant American Shape-Note Singing, “Sherburne” Solo vocal music from Ghana, “Marilli”

TIMBRE Vocal music examples “labeled” Gregorian chant - pure, no vibrato (fluctuation in pitch or volume) American Shape-Note Singing, “Sherburne” - forced, harsh Solo vocal music from Ghana, “Marilli” - complex, noisy, buzzy

TIMBRE Instrumental timbres [confounded categories] Strings (string quartet – very blended) Brass (Gabrieli, brass quintet – some subtle diff) Woodwinds (Mozart, Grand Partita - mixed) Percussion (C. Rouse, Ku-Ka-Ilimoku)

TIMBRE - brass trombone, tuba, horn, trumpet

TIMBRE - brass Canadian Brass

HARMONY We sometimes refer to some harmonies or chords (combinations of pitches) with particular dissonances in them as being “colorful” – this is a good term to use, but do not confuse it with timbre, which is sound quality that is independent of pitch and harmony. The musical term “chromatic” – which applies to harmony and is a type of scale – explicitly refers to color as a metaphor.

HARMONY AND TIMBRE Music by Messiaen is known for its colorful harmonies and colorful use of timbre Examples: Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant Jesus, IV, Watch of the Virgin piano – harmonic color only TURANGALILA-SYMPHONIE both harmonic and timbral (orchestral) color

COLOR CONCLUSION Color can be an important part of an artwork’s impact – notice it! Color can be optimized & analyzed for greatest effect Timbre in music is considered to be analogous to color in painting; some kinds of harmony and scales are also considered to be analogous to color in painting. They are DIFFERENT – try not to confuse them.

TIMBRE Instrumental timbres [confounded categories] Strings (Barber, Adagio for Stings) Brass (Lutoslawski, brass quintet) Woodwinds (Dvorak, Slavonic Dance No 9) Percussion (C. Rouse, Ku-Ka-Ilimoku)
