Rhyme in poetry
The world is too much with us; late and soon,Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;Little we see in Nature that is ours;We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,The winds that will be howling at all hours,And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,For this, for everything, we are out of tune;It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather beA Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
William Wordsworth, “The World Is Too Much with Us” (1807)
Alliteration & assonance in poetry
TO THE STONE-CUTTERS Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeatedChallengers of oblivionEat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,The square-limbed Roman lettersScale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as wellBuilds his monument mockingly;For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sunDie blind and blacken to the heart:Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts foundThe honey of peace in old poems.
Robinson Jeffers, 1924

VARIATION:the alliance between repetition and surprise
The extensive poem, moreover, satisfies another two-fold requirement, one that is closely related to the rule of variety within unity: repetition and surprise. Repetition is a cardinal principal in poetry. Meter and its accents, rhyme, the epithets in Homer and other poets, phrases and incidents that recur like musical motifs and serve as signs to emphasize continuity. At the other extreme are breaks, changes, inventions - in a word, the unexpected. What we call development is merely the alliance between repetition and surprise, recurrence and invention, continuity and interruption.

• Diagonal/horizontal• Straight/curved lines• Air/water/Earth fire?• Natural/artificial• Clothed/(nearly) naked• Tint/shade (light/shadow)• colors
What is the psychological relationship between the two men? Which of them is the “artist” in the title? Is it two
sides of one person, the “artist”?

EMPHASIS

Andy Warhol, Orange Disaster
No. 5, 1963
not a good example of EMPHASIS
ECONOMY limitation of a composition to a few essential elements; usually a voluntary constraint that is part of the creative processSPECIFIC TO AN INDIVIDUAL WORK, NOT THE GENRE , TYPE OR MEDIUM
Examples in music: deriving everything from a single theme (musical idea), limiting the number of pitches, type of instrument, etc. Steve Reich, Music for Pieces of Wood, Clapping Music, or other piecesDC Meckler, Bliss (1999)Morton Feldman, Three Voices (1982)

ECONOMY – very little suggests a lot

Proportion in musicA matter of time, usually lots of time.Example: 3 Beethoven string quartets (Op 59, 1, 2 & 3). Each in 4 movements.No. 1 – BIG 1st mvtNo. 2 – nervous 1st mvt, BIG 2nd mvtNo. 3 – BIG finale (4th mvt)
SCALE
SCALE - the size of a work compared to the environment: miniature, human, monumental. The term can also apply to musical works, although it has an entirely different meaning than “musical scale.” (“A symphony is a large-scale musical work when compared to a song.”)
Claes Oldenburg, Knife Ship I, 1985
Vinyl-covered wood, steel, and aluminum with motors, dimensions variable, maximum height 31 feet 8 inches x 40 feet 5 inches x 31 feet 6 inches.

Some examples of time scales in music
Less than a minute - Miniatures – Chopin, Webern, Schoenberg
Pop songs – 3-6 minutesEarly symphonies – 25-35 minutesLater symphonies – 45 min - 1 hrLongest – Mahler – 1 ½ hrsShort opera – 2 hoursAverage opera – 3-4 hours (including intermissions)Long opera – 5 hoursLongest traditional opera – Wagner’s RING – 18 hours
Robert Motherwell, Elegy for the Spanish Revolution No. 34, 1953-54
Georgia O’Keefe on scale & flowers:
Nobody sees a flower—really—it is so small—we haven’t time—and to see it takes time, like to have a friend takes time. . . . So I said to myself—I’ll paint what I see—what the flower is to me—but I’ll paint it big. . . . I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.
Geogia O'KeeffeAmerican, 1887–1986, White Rose with Larkspur, No. 2, 1927, Oil on canvas;
40 x 30 in.
Geogia O'KeeffeJimson Weed 70x84 in
Scale has to do with the size of the work itself
