The Structure of Musical Sound by Willard Charles Sperry Pdf
The Structure of Musical Sound is about science from the point of view of musical sound. It is also a book about musical sound from science's point of view. First and foremost, however, it is a science text for nonscientists. You, the reader, will be introduced to the methods of science; and you will be shown how these methods are used to discover more about musical sound. You will be an active participant in both of these quests, and as a result you will become a more "scientific" person than you might have realized possible. Parts of musical sound have scientific explanations. Examples of these parts include the rules for the formation and propagation of sound waves, the operation of musical instruments as they produce their sounds, and the acoustic conditions for good listening to musical sound in rooms and halls. The Structure of Musical Sound explains all of these scientific aspects of music. Questions are included throughout the book. They will challenge you to demonstrate your understanding of the ideas just presented. The solutions, not just the answers, to these questions are provided at the end of this book.

The Science of Musical Sound by William Ralph Bennett Jr. Pdf
This textbook is a product of William Bennett’s work in developing and teaching a course on the physics of music at Yale University to a diverse audience of musicians and science students in the same class. The book is a culmination of over a decade of teaching the course and weaves together historical descriptions of the physical phenomena with the author’s clear interpretations of the most important aspects of the science of music and musical instruments. Many of the historical examples are not found in any other textbook available on the market. As the co-inventor of the Helium-Neon laser, Prof. Bennett’s knowledge of physics was world-class. As a professor at one of the most prestigious liberal-arts universities in the world, his appreciation for culture and humanities shines through. The book covers the basics of oscillations, waves and the analysis techniques necessary for understanding how musical instruments work. All types of stringed instruments, pipe organs, and the human voice are covered in this volume. A second volume covers the remaining families of musical instruments as well as selected other topics. Readers without a background in acoustics will enjoy learning the physics of the Science of Musical Sound from a preeminent scientist of the 20th century. Those well versed in acoustics will discover wonderful illustrations and photographs depicting familiar concepts in new and enlightening ways.

Sound Knowledge by J. Q. Davies,Ellen Lockhart Pdf
What does it mean to hear scientifically? What does it mean to see musically? This volume uncovers a new side to the long nineteenth century in London, a hidden history in which virtuosic musical entertainment and scientific discovery intersected in remarkable ways. Sound Knowledge examines how scientific truth was accrued by means of visual and aural experience, and, in turn, how musical knowledge was located in relation to empirical scientific practice. James Q. Davies and Ellen Lockhart gather work by leading scholars to explore a crucial sixty-year period, beginning with Charles Burney’s ambitious General History of Music, a four-volume study of music around the globe, and extending to the Great Exhibition of 1851, where musical instruments were assembled alongside the technologies of science and industry in the immense glass-encased collections of the Crystal Palace. Importantly, as the contributions show, both the power of science and the power of music relied on performance, spectacle, and experiment. Ultimately, this volume sets the stage for a new picture of modern disciplinarity, shining light on an era before the division of aural and visual knowledge.

The Science of Musical Sounds by Dayton Clarence Miller Pdf
From the INTRODUCTION. WE are beings with several senses through which we come into direct relation with the world outside of ourselves. Through two of these, sight and hearing, we are able to receive impressions from a distance and through these only do the fine arts appeal to us; through sight we receive the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture, and through hearing, the arts of poetry and music. Undoubtedly music gives greater pleasure to more people than does any other art, and probably this enjoyment is of a more subtle and pervading nature; everyone enjoys music in some degree, and many enjoy it supremely. Sound is also of the greatest practical importance; we rely upon it continually for the protection of our lives, and through talking, which is but making sounds according to formula, we receive information and entertainment. These facts give ample justification for studying the nature of sound, the material out of which music and speech are made. The study of sounds in language is as old as the human race, and the art of music is older than tradition, but the science of music is quite as modern as the other so-called modern sciences. Sound being comparatively a tangible phenomenon, and so intimately associated with the very existence of every human being, one would expect that if there are any unknown facts relating to it, a large number of investigators would be at work trying to discover them. There has been in the past, as there is now, a small number of enthusiastic workers in the field of acoustics who have accomplished much; but it is no doubt true that this science has received less attention than it deserves, and especially may this be said of the relation of acoustics to music.
The Science of Song by Alan, Cross, Emme, Mortillaro, Nicole Cross Pdf
The coolest facts about the music we make, listen to and love. This illustrated book explores how music and the ways we experience it has transformed over the years and the science behind all of it. It starts with the basics — how does sound work? and what, exactly, is music? — then follows the progression of music-recording technology, from the phonograph to streaming. It covers how everyday items like headphones were created, and includes a look at the science of how we experience music (like why we can’t get certain songs out of our heads). All while suggested playlists accompany the text so that readers can listen along! Kids know that music moves them. Now they can learn how!
