Classical Music Radio Broadcast Request Promotes Women Composers - Composer Amy Beach

Classical Music Radio Broadcast Request Promotes Women Composers - Composer Amy Beach The I nternational Alliance for Women in Music and other musical advocacy groups encourage classical music lovers to request the music of notable women in music. Each month different composers are chosen.  More information below:  To participate in promoting the broadcast of women's compositions, please telephone or e-mail local and/or Internet radio stations during Aug. 5-11, 2018, requesting that they play music composed by AMY BEACH. As usual, the selection, which is different every week, has been made by Ursula Rempel. The selections, she explains, "are based on a combination of factors: availability of CDs, geography/nationality, accessibility/appeal of the music for general audiences, and a concern to feature both historical and contemporary women composers."  Feel free to copy and modify this to suit yourselves:  Ladies and Gentlemen:  Would you please...

Virtual vs. Fact: Orson Welles and the War of the Worlds

Are Americans as Vulnerable Today as in 1938? Cover of Orson Welles A discussion in my media class about the validity of the news today reminds me of an old 1938  radio prank gone wrong last century by film director Orson Welles : War of the Worlds . In essence, Welles reported a real Martian attack on the radio.  People listening that did not catch that it was fake and panicked:  http://www.transparencynow.com/welles.htm "As it listened to this simulation of a news broadcast, created with voice acting and sound effects, a portion of the audience concluded that it was hearing an actual news account of an invasion from Mars. People packed the roads, hid in cellars, loaded guns, even wrapped their heads in wet towels as protection from Martian poison gas, in an attempt to defend themselves against aliens, oblivious to the fact that they were acting out the role of the panic-stricken public that actually belonged in a radio play .

Layman's Guide to EQ

The spectrum of a 1 kHz tone. A sound will not be heard if it is under the threshold in quiet. This limit changes around the masker frequency, making it more difficult to hear a nearby tone. The slope of the masking threshold is steeper toward lower frequencies than toward higher frequencies, which means it is easier to mask with higher frequency tones. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A Layman's Guide to EQ Frequency : number of cycles per unit time (measured in hertz, Hz) - A sound at 1Hz only has one cycle per second (making it a low, an inaudible pitch) - A sound at 20 kHz has 20000 cyles per second (an extremely high pitch usually outside the human range of hearing...your dog might hear it though) - Human range of hearing can be from 20Hz to 20kHz -Orchestras tune to A440 (at 440 Hz) It is important when mixing to determine the general frequency range of your instruments, sounds, and voice tracks in order to EQ properly. Excess noise, for example,...
