I remember, before taking EIS classes, how cool it was to compose cartoon music like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry but on that time they were too complex for me.It didnt provide enough knowledge to understand every score that I had in front of me but it opened several new endless possibilities to condently compose any kind of music style including cartoon music.For a very long time Ive been wondering how the best film composer of all time could achieve the beautiful dramatic music of movies like Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones.
These analysis have been developed into a beautiful project entitled The John Williams Compositional Techniques. The cents notation provides a useful way to compare intervals in different temperaments and to decide whether those differences are musically significant. A useful parameter for comparison is the just noticeable difference in pitch which corresponds to about 5. The equal tempered intervals may be compared with Just and Pythagorean temperaments which maintain the exact-integer-ratio rule for the main intervals, while equal temperament departs from that standard. The note letters have a number appended which is their octave number beginning at the bottom octave on the piano. The offset frequencies are the chromatic notes (sharps and flats). It was reaffirmed in 1975 by the International Organization for Standardization. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) broadcasts a precise 440 Hz reference tone on its short wave radio station WWV. This means that their compositions are now played about 70 cents sharper than the originals. For example, some use 415Hz for the baroque period music and there are other pitch standards like Chorton pitch at 466Hz and classical pitch at 430Hz.
