Transmission is a way of conveying the musicians true thoughts with the time and emotion they put into making or playing their music. Ratliff describes a couple ways to view emotion in music. There are formalists, who believe that music has nothing to do with emotion, and expressionists, who believe just the opposite. Personally I am more of an expressionists. As a musician, I have felt all sorts of emotions while playing and just listening to music online. Many people will turn on classical music to study or fall asleep, but I am the opposite. Classical music, depending on the style, gets my heart pumping. As the tempo and dynamics increase, I become more excited. In a way I can feel the music in my bones. Transmission is all about the relationship between the music makers and the emotional connection they experience playing it.]]> 2017-10-13 18:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_dyal/8ic9aef34zkw/wish/196938528 christine_dyal https://padlet.com/christine_dyal/8ic9aef34zkw/wish/196938579 "Can you point at an emotion in music, and claim it as a function or property if the music itself, rather than of what the listener brings to it? I say yes." (pg 51)

(pg 55)

Whitney seems to lose herself in the song and lets out all of her music. There is so much power in this one song. It is a perfect example of transmission.]]> 2017-10-13 18:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_dyal/8ic9aef34zkw/wish/196938712
