Unit 3

Language points

1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: (1) the sensuous plane,

(2) the expressive

plane, (3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1)

The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means since

we don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms. The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to your

emotions and thoughts.

A plane is a level of thought, development or existence.

The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The sheerly musical plane refers

to the level of the musical material, melodies, rhythms, harmonies etc. The sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2)

means great or pure pleasure.

2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into these

hypothetical planes is … (Para 1)

The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actual

ones. Here, the planes are not real, they are just part of a model for analysis and discussion.

3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedly bathes in the sound. A kind

of brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)

To bathe means to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To bathe in the sound means to immerse

yourself in the sound, like in water.

To engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expression engendered by the mere sound

appeal means to be created only by the appeal or attraction of the sound.

4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quite

listening to it. (Para 3)

The expression apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce something else about the subject you

are talking about. The expression is derived from French, and the final -s is silent in pronunciation.

5 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous plane

is an important one in music ... but it does not constitute the whole story. (Para 4)

To usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone else without having the right to do this.

The sentence you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest means don’t let it

take up a wrong amount of your interest.

The expression it does not constitute the whole story means there is more to it than this.

6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)

The expression we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These are ideas that some people

will probably disagree about or not approve of.

7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music’s expressive side. (Para 5)

To shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do something because you are

nervous, afraid or not confident.

8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)

The word resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something unpleasant must happen or that

you cannot change it. The whole sentence gives nuances – shades of meaning –of different kinds of

sadness: sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can’t change them easily),

sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate –we can’t

avoid it and it is part of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even though we feel sad.

9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)

To become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening and realize how important

it is.

10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hear the melodies, the rhythms, the

harmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. (Para 9)

The musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed under the headings of melody (the

tune), rhythm (the effects of time or duration of the beats of music, the pulse),

harmony (how the notes

of music combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes), tone color (how the precise sound of

notes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition and

variation).

11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theater will make this instinctive

correlation clearer. (Para 11)

An analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that is intended to show that the two

are similar. That the two things are analogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both of

them.

Dealing with unfamiliar words

4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.

Teaching tips

To go through the answers, T assigns Numbers 1–7 to seven Ss, and ask each student to read one

definition. T then assigns Numbers 8–14 to another seven Ss, and ask them to give corresponding answers

orally. For example, “You could use the word constitute,” or “That means the same as constitute.”

1 to make up or form something (constitute)

2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)

3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)

4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hitting

a drum or other surface (rhythm)

5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)

6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)

7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)

5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.

Johann Sebastian Bach is possibly the greatest (1) composer the world has ever known. His Well-

Tempered Clavichord (2) constitutes one of the most complete works for keyboard ever written. It is

(3) simultaneously both a series of technical exercises which explore the

possibilities of the keyboard, and

a masterpiece of expressive feeling. Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist and

a choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followed

him, and he was soon forgotten. But his music was rediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect sense

of (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky,

(7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.

6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box. You may

need to make other changes.

1 Shh! They’re about to announce the winner of this year’s International Piano Competition. (proclaim)

2 It’s quite easy to make a comparison between poetry and music. (analogy) It’s quite easy to make an analogy between poetry and music.

7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.

1 If you split something up, do you (a) divide it into parts, or (b) put the parts together?

2 If you do something absent-mindedly, are you (a) thinking about what you are doing, or (b) thinking

about something else?

7 If you know the melody of a piece of music, are you familiar with (a) the tune, or (b) the meaning of the

music?

8 Is an instinctive reaction to something (a) automatic, or (b) one which follows

a lot of thought?

Reading and interpreting

8 Work in pairs and choose the best answer to the questions.

1 Which is the writer’s main purpose?

(a) To show how complex listening to music is.

(b) To get people to listen to music more.

(c) To discourage some people from listening to music.

(d) To get people to think about how they listen to music.

2 Who does the writer address as you?

(a) Musicians.

(b) Theatregoers.

(c) Composers.

(d) Intelligent music lovers.

9 Check (?) the statements you agree with.

√ 1 The analysis the writer makes is a fair and accurate one.

Yes, I think this is a reasonable analysis of listening to music.

2 He describes the sensuous listener in negative terms.

He does mention some negative aspects of sensuous listening but he says several times that we

listen in all three ways, so I don’t think he is actually negative about this way.

√ 3 He thinks all great music is expressive.

He doesn’t actually say this, but this seems to be his point of view.

4 He thinks most listeners are not intelligent enough.

No, he do esn’t say this. He says most listeners are not conscious enough of the third plane, but that

doesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent.

√ 5 He is probably a professional musician.

I guess this is true because of his knowledge of Stravinsky and Bach, and his insights into the

effective way of listening to music.

√ 6 He is probably a good teacher.

I think so because of his way of explaining the three planes and because of the way he uses the

analogy of the theatre, which non-musician might appreciate.

Active reading (2)

Language points

1 We know his work includes paintings of religious and mythological themes, domestic interiors and

landscapes. (Para 2)

Domestic interiors are the inside of households with the rooms, furniture and decorations.

Landscapes are paintings of an area of land, showing the scenery sometimes with people but the focus

mostly on nature.

2 While Griet goes about her duties, she attracts the attention not only of

a butcher’s boy, Pieter, but

also of the painter himself. (Para 6)

To go about her duties means to do the work that she is supposed to do. Being on duty means to be

working at the moment; being off duty means to be not working at the moment.

3 Despite their different backgrounds and class, he invites her into his studio and engages her in his

world. (Para 6)

To engage her in his world means to help her to take an interest, understand or take part in what he

does.

4 Vermeer recognizes Griet as having visual talent and artistic promise, and takes her on as his studio

assistant. (Para 7)

The expression she has artistic promise means she shows the sign that she is likely to be successful as an

artist in the future.

5 Her role is to grind paints and develop the colours which Vermeer will use for his paintings ...

(Para 7)

To grind paints means to break something into very small pieces or powder by crushing it between two

surfaces or using a machine. In Vermeer’s time, artists made their own paints by grinding up different

colours and mixing the powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprentice

or assistant.

6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so the apprenticeship takes place in secret.

(Para 7)

The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usually

for low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal for

people to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.

7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron. (Para 12)

To commission means to ask someone officially to do some work for you. Commissioning a work of ar t

means asking the artist to produce a particular work of art in exchange for payment Dealing with unfamiliar words

5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.

1 someone who looks at a picture, photograph, or piece of art (viewer)

2 a painting, drawing or photograph of someone, especially of their face only (portrait)

3 relating to people’s homes and family life (domestic)

4 the inside part of something, especially a building or vehicle (interior)

5 as a result (consequently)

6 to start to employ someone or use their services (engage)

7 to officially ask for a piece of work to be done for you (commission)

6 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 5.

In the beginning it was only the rich and famous who had their (1) portraits painted. But from the

Renaissance onwards things changed. Firstly, the growing importance of the middle classes led many

ordinary people to (2) commission paintings, often of members of their family. Secondly, artists

became interested in showing scenes of (3) domestic life, set in the (4) interiors of ordinary houses, and

(5) consequently they began to (6) engage ordinary people, such as servant girls, as models. Part of the

mystery for (7) viewers today concerns the identity of these models, in masterpieces such as Leonardo’s

Mona Lisa and Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.

1 Listen, if you can, to the 48 fugue themes of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavichord. Listen to each theme,

one after another. You will soon realize that each theme mirrors a different world of feeling. You will

also soon realize that the more beautiful a theme seems to you the harder it is to find any word that will

describe it to your complete satisfaction. Yes, you will certainly know whether it is a gay theme or a sad

one. You will be able, in other words, in your own mind, to draw a frame of emotional feeling around

your theme. Now study the sad one a little closer. Try to pin down the exact quality of its sadness. Is it

pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad?

2 We know less about the Girl with the Pearl Earring than any of Vermeer’s works. Indeed, the

unexplainable lack of background information may even contribute to the worldwide popularity the

painting enjoys.

With so much mystery, the painting has been the theme of first, a novel and later, a film, both of which

attempt to answer some of the questions about the painting, as well as one, which is immediately more

appropriate to the medium of the novel or the film: Are her wide eyes and enigmatic half-smile innocent

or seductive?
