This is a book about music science, therefore, the readers are advised that the main objective of this book is to explain, more than teach, music. But, of course, the book contains music theory and more.
To fully enjoy the analysis of the embedded musical stuff, and learn to read the staff, the reader will need a certain background in mathematics, at the calculus level.
The book begins with the historical evolution of music, and how mathematics permeates that progress. An introduction to the analysis of signals in time and frequency is presented. Features and mathematical aspects of sound are discussed, including vibration and timbre aspects.
The book presents a review of existing voice models and discusses the voice production, sound perception, music characteristics and acoustics, tempo, rhythm, and harmony. Musical theory is presented, encompassing staff, notes, alterations, keys and intervals, tones, and associated frequencies.The creation of major and minor scales is emphasized, along with a study on consonance and dissonance, measure, metric, tempo markings, and dynamics. The book also explains the chord formation, and discusses melody and composition.The book has five appendices, including an appendix on the basic differentiation
and integration theorems, another with useful Fourier tables, and an appendix featuring the notes, their frequencies, and wavelengths. The book also has a complete glossary of music terms, and a biography of the author.
This book is aimed at musicians, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and physicists, and computer analysts. It is also useful for communication, information technology professionals and music lovers. It is expected to be used as a textbook for courses in music science or music theory.
