Well, hello. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Lately my time has been taken up by music theory and the NIV Audio Bible Dramatized<\/a>. I believe I’ll actually make it all the way through the Bible now. I’ve gone from creation to David, with a detour through Job, in just six days. It’s kind of a chore, though. People seem to like this audio Bible, but I am not impressed. It’s pretty torturous to listen to, in fact. But it will get me through the Bible, which was my goal. I hope to have a detailed review for you later.<\/p>\n I read Allen Forte’s Tonal Harmony in Concept in Practice<\/i> about a year ago but got distracted by other things before I got very far into the exercises. Now I’ve picked it back up and finished marking it, and I’m typing out my synthesis of the material, which I’ll probably use as a basis for further research. I’m very interested in how music works, and especially tonal music&emdash;why there are eight notes in a diatonic scale with specific interval patterns, why a triad is made of two thirds, things like that. I’m also reading Musical Structure and Design<\/i> by Cedric Thorpe Davie. Maybe this time I’ll get around to the practical part and actually write some music.<\/p>\n My other essay is pretty much done. I’ll be posting it soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, hello. \ud83d\ude42 Lately my time has been taken up by music theory and the NIV Audio Bible Dramatized.
