We have a new blog post! Come and read all about out colloquium 3 activities https://t.co/Pzv79zTHAn @Karenmca @DMcGconcal @StCeciliasHall @EdinburghUni

[EAERN @EAERNing]

We have a winner! @DMcGconcal outpaces @DorianKBandy, reaching the end of the scale with a major 3rd! One version of the game sussed. 5 (or 6) to go...

[EAERN @EAERNing]

Post-colloquia, attempting to make sense of Anne Young's Musical Game. @DorianKBandy kindly being our guinea pig. How many musicologists does it take to work out a game designed for 8-year olds that don't know music?

[EAERN @EAERNing]

Getting into the swing of Game 2. Roll two dice that represent keys. The difference between those keys (major 2nd, perfect 5th, etc) is how far you move up the scale. First to the top wins!

[EAERN @EAERNing]

Negative perceptions of French opera may be due to their opera singers primarily focusing on the meaning of the text, and changing their facial expressions to match the intended affect, thereby altering their vocal qualities.

[EAERN @EAERNing]

Acting was the art of "passionating" - an actor's role was to understand their own emotions, and then elicit this in their audience. Strong emotions perceptibly moved the body, such as blushing, going pale, trembling, as well as vocal colour - even musically notating their lines

[EAERN @EAERNing]

Hope could be expressed during a courante, made up of courage, desire, and joy, mapped out across the bars. Jed raises the point that we have perhaps overly emphasised the split between 18th and 19th centuries, noting rather romantic elements to these acting instructions.
