Simplicity to Complexity in terms of line...

What about lines in music?

Line in music Melody Vocal or instrumental line General continuity, direction or process Texture “two-part texture”

a drawing by composer Igor Stravinsky describing his music

Straight line in music? DRONE – constant sustained tone or chord Indian sitar music (raga) Hildegarde of Bingen

Scales as Line (but not quite melody) Examples of musical lines (based on scales) that are musically interesting but not quite what one would call melodies or even melodic Beethoven, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op 92, first movement, introduction, 1813 Robert Schumann, Quintet in Eb Major, Opus 44, third movement (scherzo), 1842

Examples of Line in Music The Concept of Line in Music Sequence of pitches in time -- often a melody. A line is sometimes referred to as a "voice" in a musical texture, even if it is played by an instrument and is not sung. Gregorian chant - note fluid melodic line, yet pitches are approached and left with a minimum of gliding or bending Vietnamese monochord - note the expressive bending of pitch Islamic Call to Prayer Analogous to “smooth” line in art?

Examples of Line in Music: Bach Partita No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1006, 1st movement (Prelude), c single melodic line (performance by Hilary Hahn on VIOLIN) Bach keyboard music with a two-part texture (2 lines) French Suite No. 2 in C minor, fourth movement (Air), 1722 (performance by Glenn Gould) Bach fugue [video example] - fugue - copies of the same line displaced in time and register

Examples of Line in Music Beethoven, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op 92, second movement (1813) - lines repeated with different lines added each time an implied line (Composite line as a gesture) Richard Strauss, Ein Heldenleben (A Hero's Life, 1898) Analogous to Jackson Pollock?

Look again …

BOTTOM LINE The concept of line plays a role in compositions of music and art, ranging from the simple to the complex.

Examples of Line in Music John Coltrane/Don Cherry, The Invisible (1960) note complexity of line, (subtle) repetition, use of silence

Scales as Line (but not quite melody) Example of musical lines (based on scales) that are musically interesting but not quite what one would call melodies Robert Schumann, Quintet in Eb Major, Opus 44, third movement (scherzo), 1842
