Harmony, Texture, and Timbre in Popular Culture: Undergraduate Edition
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to compare the way students describe their favorite music with observable musical parameters such as harmony, texture, and timbre, and 2) to develop a database of current music that can be used in the theory classroom to study harmony, timbre, and texture. We seek to contribute to a growing body of work that debunks stereotypes such as popular music is too simple and therefore not productive to study within the music theory curriculum. However, we believe that musical fluency is strengthened when students study a variety of music styles. Our study identifies the music students enjoy, how they describe it, and analyzes correlations and discrepancies between these observations. In so doing, we articulate areas of study that can bolster listening experiences through analysis. These include developing terminology and listening skills focused on harmonic progressions, texture, and timbre in pop music. Sometimes as educators we assume that a song that’s popular is good for analysis because everyone in the class will know it, but for music students that may not always be the case or a genre they enjoy, so this study seeks to find some trends in the kind of music college musicians are listening to

Elam, E. A.
No full textPersonally chosen by David Lipscomb to join the Nashville Bible School Board of Trustees, then to head to the school in 1906, E. A. Elam was more influential on the school’s early days than all except Lipscomb himself. Devoted to preaching, writing, and teaching, he contributed to the Gospel Advocate for 50 years and wrote Elam‘s Notes, a commentary on the Advocate’s Sunday school curriculum. He resigned the presidency in 1913, but the school’s largest gift of that era was given specifically for Elam to teach Bible. He returned in 1922 and taught Bible until he could no longer teach. Funds from the gift were also used to build Elam Hall.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1035/thumbnail.jp
Hutcheson Jr., John C.
No full text“He made a pretty good argument for Christianity” is the best characterization of John Hutcheson\u27s life. He established the Department of Art in 1958 and was its chair from 1962 until his untimely death in 1986, serving several years as the college’s only art instructor. The quality of his scholarship and instructional approach was widely recognized, but he was distinguished by an unusual devotion to the personal and spiritual growth of his students outside the classroom. He was an elder at Granny White church of Christ and preached for the church in Schochoh, Kentucky. In all, his only goal was to glorify God. He succeeded.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1026/thumbnail.jp
Loyd, A. Dennis
No full textIn more than 50 years of association with Lipscomb University, Dr. Dennis Loyd became one of the university’s most beloved teachers. He taught high school English and journalism at Lipscomb before joining the college faculty, where he advanced to the rank of Professor of English and to chair the department. He served twice as Dean of Students, appeared frequently in dramatic productions, and served churches as a minister and elder. Dr. Loyd easily transferred his love for literature to students, who were warmed by his sincerity, his personal interest in their academic and spiritual growth, and his mentorship. His is a “goodly heritage” that will bear fruit for generations.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1019/thumbnail.jp
