Talk:Monophony

message: There's a typical theme in many Wikipedia articles. Ignore the Africa, black people's accomplishments and their role in humanity's growth/development. This article is no different. However,  since in trying to rectify the racism inherent in many articles I am banned and/or blocked by racist editors, I am limited to sharing here in the Talk pages. Similar to being banished to a digital island and silenced so that racist ideologies and half truths can be promoted on wikipedia to teachers, students, researchers, etc. I am experiencing the same challenge in the University world where professors come with very racist lessons, and when I give feedback re the racism, my grades start to be lowered.   End racism please. --2604:2000:DDD1:4900:B5FC:4ED7:8687:22F9 (talk) 08:28, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: In my opinion, it is fragmented and choppy. Perhaps it just needs to be expanded, though, and not really "cleaned up." If you don't the the article warrants the tag, feel free to remove it. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 23:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Cleanup

message: Is this really the best place to redirect for Monophonic (Synthesizers), seeing as this page doesn't mention synths in any way?  Surely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_synthesizers would be better?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.40.109 (talk) 15:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, this is absolutely NOT the best redirect for that page. If the page isn't going to exist on its own, it should definitely redirect to Analog synths, since that is what it refers to. This monophony page refers to musical texture, whereas the monophony relating to synths is more of a technological issue. Please feel free to change the redirect.  67.142.171.28 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 03:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Gregorian chant.gif Nominated for Deletion

message: This article as it is discusses Monophony almost exclusively in the context of traditional ("classical") vocal music. What about other music styles? Death metal, for example, has a lot of Monophony in it (multiple instruments playing a single voice melodic line), and there is plenty of non-vocal classical music for solo instruments which features monophony. It seems like it would also be prudent to discuss the issue of something like a Bach cello suite, which uses a single line of notes to imitate multiple voices, and whether or not that counts as monophony. 76.20.12.54 (talk) 00:51, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: ...which is a form of monophony, at least according to this article, which says monophony can be realized "one note at a time, or with the same note duplicated at the octave." From my understanding even doubling within a larger texture would count as a few instruments playing in monophony combined with other elements. And that doesn't clear up the issue of whether or not something like a Cello suite which has one single instrument imitating a multiple-voice structure by alternating registers can count as monophony. 76.20.12.54 (talk) 05:55, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: And further, why does Hindustani music (featuring a melody line over a fixed drone, and frequently featuring percussion) count as monophony? Doesn't the drone mean that the music is not simply a single voice alone, but some form of homophony? 76.20.12.54 (talk) 06:05, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other music? 

message: I removed information from the section on Indian Classical music that seemed to claim that this tradition was a part of the Kundalini yogic practice and was aimed at activating chakras. I found nothing supporting this in the articles Hindustani classical music, Indian classical music, Carnatic music, Kundalini yoga, or Chakra. Also, neither "Kundalini" nor "chakra" returned any results in Oxford Music Online, a relatively comprehensive, scholarly music encyclopedia with extensive coverage of Indian classical music. Without a reliable source, and with no mention of this connection in any related articles, I think it would be a mistake to include it here.  76.20.12.54 (talk) 06:23, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
