Gorgeous! This is a sultânî yegâh peşrev composed by Refik Fersan (1893-1965), starting with taksim.
In Ottoman #ClassicalMusic a peşrev, overture with 4 hâne, is the 1st light piece and a warmup establishing communication between the musicians.
Sultânî yegâh is generally considered to be makam bûselik transposed down to yegâh, descending with suspended cadences of hicâz and kürdî on dügâh, bûselik on rast, and kürdî on hüseynî aşîrân.

旋宮圖 Hsüan Kung Diagram
https://yongzs1218.github.io/hsuan-kung/
在AI的指導下，我用JavaScript、CSS和HTML架設了一份網頁版「旋宮圖」。該圖可用於旋宮犯調實踐，之調、爲調轉換等場景。
Under the guidance of AI, I developed a web-based “Hsüan Kung Diagram” using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. This diagram is designed for Hsüan²-kung (Xuán-gōng, 旋宮) and Fan⁴-tiao⁴ (Fàn-diào, 犯調) practices, including scenes such as Chih-tiao⁴ (Zhī-diào, 之調) and Wei²-tiao⁴ (Wéi-diào, 爲調) transformations. 旋宮 and 犯調 are traditional Chinese modulation or transposition concepts, 之調 and 爲調 are traditional Chinese key notation systems.
AIの指導のもと、私はJavaScript、CSS、HTMLを用いてウェブ版「旋宮図（せんきゅうず）」を構築しました。この図は、旋宮犯調（せんきゅうはんちょう）の実践や、之調（しちょう）・爲調（いちょう）の変換などのシナリオに活用できます。
Dưới sự hướng dẫn của AI, tôi đã xây dựng một ”Đồ Huyền Cung (圖旋宮)“ phiên bản web bằng JavaScript, CSS và HTML. Bản đồ này có thể ứng dụng trong thực hành chuyển điệu Huyền Cung Phạm Điệu (旋宮 犯調), cũng như chuyển đổi giữa hệ thống Chi Điệu (之調) và Vi Điệu (爲調).／𨑜事向引𧵑AI，碎㐌𡏦𥩯“圖旋宮”翻版web憑JavaScript，CSS吧HTML。版圖尼固體應用𥪝轉調 旋宮-犯調，拱如轉𢷮𡧲系統之調吧爲調。
AI의 지도 아래, 저는 JavaScript, CSS, HTML을 사용하여 웹 버전 「선궁도(旋宮圖)」를 구축했습니다. 이 도표는 선궁 범조(旋宮 犯調) 실습 및 지조(之調)·위조(爲調) 변환 시나리오에 활용될 수 있습니다.／AI의 指導 아래, 저는 JavaScript, CSS, HTML을 사용하여 웹 版 「旋宮圖(선궁도)」를 構築했습니다. 이 圖表는 旋宮 犯調(선궁 범조) 實習 및 之調(지조)·爲調(위조) 轉換 시나리오에 活用될 수 있습니다.

LOL If I wasn't already familiar with music theory, this would have lost me by the end of the first section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZHBVcth0L4

I did a bit of Javascript hacking this weekend with the excellent `two.js` 2D drawing library to try to create an animated version of a diagram I came up with a while ago about modes and the circle of fifths.
Thanks to both @katchwreck and @johncarlosbaez for separate discussions here that got me thinking about this.
Animation and explanation is here: https://mark.reid.name/modes/
Almost 30 years ago I stopped using and learning #MusicTheory and just made some #OldSchool #HipHop beats with an Amiga tracker, wanting better samples. Then started mixing, at some point #disco|vered #HouseMusic and mainly cared about BPM, key, and rhythm for a long time. A few years ago got amazing analog midi synths/drums, and only made a track or two. Anyways, since a week I'm properly studying theory and multiple instruments in parallel whenever I can, and it's so much fun already...

of course, you can pick locrian (the "darkest" mode) or lydian (the "brightest" mode) and use those as a reference, too. for example, six sharps starting from locrian can get you to lydian through all the other modes (5, 2, 6, 3, 7, 4) and similarly, six flats can get you from lydian to locrian through all other modes (4, 7, 3, 6, 2, 5), with Dorian in the center. so the symmetry of the Dorian mode occurs not only in its intervals but also in its modal relationships #theory #music #musicTheory
This is a short documentary on Konnakol, the rhythm language of South Indian Carnatic #Music. During my #Ethnomusicology studies I took lessons in tabla, which has a different rhythm language called Bol used for reciting cycles and compositions, though I find Konnakol, which I got into with kanjira, a little bit more flexible, e.g., internalising a fast 9/8 (2+2+3+2) by saying "takadimitakitajuna", or playing around with rhythm without needing an instrument. #MusicTheory

Woke up thinking about Intonatsia which is never a good thing
I’ve got a week off which means time for bassoon practise. This might only amuse myself, but: I first learned music theory in Finnish, which like German uses H for the note just below C. But I now mostly teach in Dutch and English where the same note is B. But B in Finnish means a B flat. So in order to know for sure what I mean, in my own markings I write H and Bes. Clear as mud?

Outkast's Hey Ya in 31TET, at half-speed and ambient? In this video Levi McClain talks about his compositional approach, including some great insights into #Microtonal #MusicTheory.
Personally I'm not too familiar with 31TET, preferring 36 or 53TET, which I mainly use in the context of Turkish makam theory. Even so, his harmony approach sounds perfectly functional to my ears, though if you're not used to #microtonality this probably will sound weird/eerie. #Music

I think some of you may find this interesting. I myself am beginning to study all of this, as I am fascinated by the singing methods and knowledge of the time. It is a bit difficult doing it being blind and unable to read music, but fortunately, there are ways around that. My perfect pitch and good memory for lyrics also helps. Still, if anyone would like to work with me on this i.e. study together or even give some advice, I would appreciate it.
Below, you will find various links related to theory, harmony and counterpoint, and a comparison of older and modern methods of teaching and singing. While this relates to choirs and opera, it also relates to the theatre, particularly operettas and such.
Studying Music: Part I
https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html
My one criterion was that the methods and books used had to be from the time of Ivor Novello, preferably from his youth (born 1893). If I were to start in the early nineteenth century, which is where most of my preferred non-musical educational material is from, I would miss extremely important developments in classical music. Starting at the birth of his mother, Clara Novello Davies, in 1861, would be fine. However, since her own book, which I am using as my main text and guide, was written in 1928, I went with that of her son. In the following sections, you will find the books I am using. One thing I have not included, though it was a huge influence in Ivor's own writing style, was theatrical music, such as that found in operettas and Edwardian musical comedies. That is such a large topic for discussion that I feel it deserves its own separate post, as does Ivor's music, since it's an interesting blend of all of the above. But this is well outside the scope of traditional musical study.
In the next entry (the below link), we will delve into vocal training and why the singers of Novello's time sound so wonderful.
Studying Music: Part II
https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205505.html
Finally, since I mentioned the exercises, here they are, for anyone who wants to try them. Note that these are the Preliminaries and Breathlock Physicals, not the vocal exercises. But I have provided the link to her book as well, for those who may wish to go further.

Is there any research from a #MusicTheory or #MusicComposition angle about what features characterize the fantasy/cinematic music sound, especially in, for example, symphonic and/or power metal and so-called "epic music"?
Musical styles are, for most people, a "you know it when you hear it" sort of thing, so I'm wondering if anybody has tried to put this style into words.
