peer agreement (net): +1Yes Explanation: Your translation seems to cover it. I'm quite sure it refers to the singing. Transposing them up or down btw, not upwards or downwards. |

peer agreement (net): +1transposing up or down (higher or lower) within the modal tone system Explanation: It makes no difference really whether the singing style or the "during" playing technique is referred to. Both will have to go higher or lower! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 16 mins (2005-12-30 10:47:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could avoid the singer/player dilemma in a number of ways, of course, e.g. by using the generic term 'musician' (The musicians use rhythmic patterns, transposing them up or down within the modal tone system), or by using a construction like "Rhythmic patterns, transposed up or down within the modal tone system, are used". The latter would certainly not be a candidate for the "schoonheidsprijs", and both would be a cowardly way out, but still... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 35 mins (2005-12-30 11:06:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If I really had to choose, by the way, I would go for the singer who transposes. This interpretation would follow the line of thought in the passage, and would, in my opinion, also conform to the concept of heterophone music, which, according to the Encyclopedie van de Muziek [Peeters/Trion Cultuur] is defined as "fundamenteel een kleine afwijking in de verschillende stemmen van eenstemmige gezangen. Bestaat overal in de volksmuziek en in de traditionele muziek van Azië. Heterofonie kan spontaan of gewild ontstaan, door kleine versieringen of door afgeleide melodische lijnen (o.m. in jazz)". In my opinion, the singers would be more likely to introduce heterophonic variations than the accompanists. After all, they are the soloists and -- except in instrumental intermezzos -- I think the task of the players would normally be restricted to providing the more or less basic accompaniment. But all this, of course, is just a bit of speculation on my part. I'd choose the cowardly way out ;-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 40 mins (2005-12-30 11:11:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Obviously, the transposition I referred to in my last note would not apply for the whole piece, but only for a limited part of it, e.g. only a few bars or perhaps even only part of a bar. |
