Pandy's Really Hard Music Quiz

[cosmicpanda]

So, it's midnight and I'm taking a break from writing my essay. Points to anybody who can explain one of the following terms (in a musical context, if the option exists). Google makes the following pretty easy, but I'm eager to share even a little of the pain.

 

1. panenphysicality (moderate difficulty: 10 points)

 

2. saltus duriusculus (easy: 8 points)

 

3. Nag-Gnosticism (difficult: 12 points)

 

4. materiality (moderate: 10 points)

 

5. fugue (Good luck sorting through the wikipedia article. 10 points)

[cosmicpanda]

Oh, and no plagiarism. I know what you lot are like.

[Krakalakachkn]

A Fugue is a composition (otherwise known as a piece of music) that uses two or more voices (either groups of the same instruments or literal voices) that is built upon a theme (usually a melody or the heart of the piece). The theme is usually introduced in the beginning of the piece (but it's not the true theme, it's an imitation that plays the theme at different pitches) and recurs throughout the rest of the piece, the theme is reintroduced and often tweaked moderately or substantially.

 

Best I could do for Fugue.

[cosmicpanda]

Pretty good. 10 points.

[Haxorsist]

Using points to make people to do your homework for you... Why didn't I think of this when I still had the ability to give out points?!

Congrats Pandy.

 

Turns out #1 google search result for "panenphysicality" is this thread. Way to defeat me via meta-hack.

[Krakalakachkn]

Really? That was #3 on the list. This book title was the first on my search:

 

"Queering the pitch: the new gay and lesbian musicology"

 

Which I (and I believe I'm justified in this) found incredibly hysterical.

[cosmicpanda]

Haha.

 

Quite.

 

 

 

 

 

(it's the book I'm reviewing for my assignment. It's worse than it sounds)

[Verbal32]

I'm not allowed because I know all the answers. Also, because cOmicpAndabear doesn't want me to make fun of him.

 

 

Too late.

[Mightelove]

You're an evil man, pandy.

[cosmicpanda]

Hello Mighte! Did you come back just to call me evil? If so, I'm touched.

[Mightelove]

Nope, I came back to work my way back up the ranks.

 

Or however that might work. I dunno. I couldn't tell you where they would put me, but probably back with the lightfuls. Which I was only a part of for mere moments the first time I showed up back in 2005.

 

I keep thinking I can't wait to get my teeth back. *sigh* I miss my teeth. But at least I have eyes now. :)

[Verbal32]

Does this mean the current Shaidar Haran can assume that the former Shaidar Haran still holds love for the Shadowspawn?

 

And who the hell is this current SH person? I bet he's an idiot.

[Mightelove]

*prods with a tazer* I'm pretty sure your Eyeless self would be the current Shaidar Haran. In which case, I probably shouldn't be prodding you with a tazer...

 

Old habits die hard.

 

But, yes, I doubt I'll ever be anything but SS. I had entertained thoughts of BA or DL, but, really, I just wouldn't fit in.

[Verbal32]

Good. Feeding your esteemed self to the trollocs would have made me feel awful. Awfully. Awfully hungry. Mmmmm......pizza.

 

*wanders off*

[ineedfourberfs]

I was BA once. In another life.

 

*stares off into the middle distance...*

 

Yeah SS ftw. Lifetime supply of free razors!

[Mightelove]

*trips the Hand as he walks off*

[Krakalakachkn]

*strategically places a whipped cream pie*

[Verbal32]

Listen Krak, the whipped cream bikini doesn't suit you.

 

Gross.

[Edielin]

The only one I knew was fugue, and that only thanks to Godel, Escher, Bach :/

[Krakalakachkn]

Listen Krak, the whipped cream bikini doesn't suit you.

 

Gross.

 

You know you like it.

[ineedfourberfs]

You should see him in a treacle mankini.

 

Hot.

 

 

Whatever happened to that Mustard photo shoot we were doing with Aluk?
