Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft
(German f., literally 'fruit-bringing society') founded in 1617, the linguistic and literary Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft was modelled on the Florentine Accademia della Crusca. It was the brainchild of Prince Ludwig of Anhalt-Köthen. This Sprachgesellschaft (language society), comprised mainly of aristocratic members, had two specific aims: to foster an elegant rhetorical German as a corrective to the unpolished language of the previous century; and to purify its language and literature of non-German terms as well as to streamline versification. Ironically, this goal would be reached by way of translations and adaptations from French, Italian, and Spanish literatures, demonstrating that the German language was the equal of its European counterparts. Although practice often fell short of its goal, the enterprise paved the way for the reforms inspired by Martin Opitz (1597-1639) and his Buch von der deutschen Poeterey (Book of German Poetics, 1624). In addition this Sprachgesellschaft helped to integrate diverse social classes (courtly and landed nobility, learned poets striving for ennoblement) and religious confessions (Lutheran, Calvinist, Reformed); and furthered the egalitarian movement for mutual advancement. Sprachgesellschaften spread rapidly in urban centers, from Hamburg to Leipzig, Nuremberg to Königsberg. Opitz himself furnished reform models for poems with his Teutsche Poemata [German Poems, 1624]; for novels (translations of John Barclay's political novel Argenis, 1626, and Sidney's pastoral Arcadia, 1638, in addition to his own prose-eclogue Schäfferey von der Nimfen Hercinie, [Pastoral of the Nymph Hercinie, 1630]); for opera libretti (translation of Rinuccini's Daphne for the composer Heinrich Schütz, 1627); and for play-writing (translations of Seneca's Troacles, 1625, and Sophocles' Antigone, 1636)

in the early seventeenth century, there was no clear definition for the word 'fugue'. The word fuga first appeared as another word for a 'canon' with works by Oswald von Wolkenstein (1377-1445). It then changed its meaning to 'freely imitative paraphrases of another vocal work' in pieces by Leonhard Kleber (1490-1556) and Bernhard Schmid the Younger (1555-1625) defined the 'fugue' as canzona alla francese. Gabrieli and Maschera (late sixteenth century) both called their instrumental canzonas 'fugues'. It was the 'fugues' in the Woltz tablature in 1617 by Simon Lohet (1550-1611) that follow the meaning that we use today

see 'wordless functional analysis'
Functional chord
or 'structural chord', a chord which has a structural significance in the phrase and which is not created by melodic elaboration (such as 'auxiliary notes', 'passing notes' or 'appoggiaturas'). A functional chord can exist on any degree of the musical scale. A non-functional (or non-structural) chord is one that does not have a structural significance in the phrase and which is created by melodic elaboration (such as 'auxiliary notes', 'passing notes' or 'appoggiaturas')
the use of chords and root progressions that establish a sense of key
a theory of tonal harmony developed by Hugo Riemann (1849-1919), the basic concept being that all harmonic sounds used in music may be classed either distinctly or ambiguously as a member of three chord/sound groups:
the tonic class
the tonic chord (the fundamental sound), the submediant chord (the inferior [lower] related sound) and the mediant chord (the superior [upper] related sound). The mediant chord 'sounds' in the tonic category because it functions as a 'reflection' of the tonic (fundamental) sound
the subdominant class
subdominant chord (the fundamental sound), the supertonic chord (the inferior [lower] related sound), and the submediant chord which functions in this classification when it sounds as a reflection of the subdominant sound
the dominant class
the dominant chord (the fundamental sound), the mediant chord (the inferior [lower] related sound), and the leading note (tone) chord (the superior [upper] related sound). The leading note (tone) may be said to be an incomplete sound
Functionalism
in the philosophy of mind, functionalism is the modern successor to behaviourism
a psychology based on the assumption that all mental process are useful to an organism in adapting to the environment

Functional music
a generic name given to commercial closed-circuit or restricted-broadcast music whose purpose is to achieve specific goals, such as enhancing worker productivity in office and industrial establishments. The best-know functional music is Muzak - a Seattle-based company founded in 1936. Other providers of commercial functional music include Rowe International, Ditchburn, Tape-Athon, Magnetronics, Audio Environments, Yesco and the 3M Corporation
Functional shift
the linguistic equivalent of poetic anthimeria, in which one part of grammatical speech becomes another. An especially common type of functional shift in everyday grammar is taking a noun and treating it as an adjective
solmization that represents the functions of pitches (such as tonic sol-fa) is called "functional" solmization. All musicians that use functional solmization use "do" to represent the tonic (also known as the "keynote") in the major mode. However, approaches to the minor mode fall into two camps. Some musicians use "do" to represent the tonic in minor (a parallel approach), whereas others prefer to label the tonic in minor as "la" (a relative approach) Both systems have their advantages: The former system more directly represents the scale-degree functions of the pitches in a key; the latter more directly represents the intervals between pitches in any given key signature
Tonic Sol-fa from which this extract has been taken

Fundamental frequency
the principal frequency component of a complex harmonic or pseudo-harmonic tone; the basic cycle of repetition for a periodic waveform. The fundamental frequency is commonly, although not always (see comment below), associated with the perceived pitch of a tone
one can explore the relationship between the frequency content of a musical note and the pitch perceived by listeners. Musical notes are complex tones consisting of a fundamental frequency and higher harmonics (known as partials) that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. The particular mix of partials is part (but only part!) of what gives different musical instruments their individual character. The pitch of the note is related to the fundamental frequency of the complex tone. However, the pitch of the note remains unchanged if this fundamental frequency is removed. It is possible to construct a complex tone made up of a fundamental and nine higher harmonics. The first tone has all the frequencies, the second tone has the fundamental removed but maintains all of the higher harmonics. Each successive tone sequentially removes the lowest harmonic. Although the character of each note changes, the pitch remains the same [the comment above has been taken from Acoustics Demonstrations - The Missing Fundamental]
the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a vibrating string is given by (√(F/r))/(2*L) where L is the string length (m), F is the tensile force (N) and r is the linear density (kg/m)
the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a cylindrical or square pipe (in which the circular or square cross section is small compared to the square of its length) depends on whether the pipe is open at both ends (an 'open pipe') or closed at one end (a 'closed pipe'). In the former case, the pipe is directly equivalent to a stretched string in that its length is effectively half the fundamental frequency. In the latter case, the pipe's length is one quarter of the fundamental frequency and therefore a 'closed pipe' sounds a fundamental one octave lower than that of an 'open pipe' of the same length. Also because a 'closed cylindrical or square pipe' can produce only odd-numbered harmonics it has a different 'timbre' to that of an 'open cylindrical or square pipe'. Open and closed conical pipes produce the full harmonic series and therefore generally behave in a similar way
the fundamental frequency of speech can vary from 40 Hz for low-pitched male voices to 600 Hz for children or high-pitched female voices

Futurepop
a recently-emerging electronic dance music genre, an outgrowth of electronic body music incorporating influences from synth pop (such as song structure and vocal style) and trance (uplifting, grandiose and arpeggiated synthesizer melodies)
Futurism was a far-reaching Italian movement that included poetry, literature, painting, graphics, typography,
sculpture, product design, architecture, photography, cinema and the performing arts and focused on the dynamic, energetic and violent character of changing twentieth-century life, especially city life. It particularly emphasised the power, force and motion of machinery combined with the contemporary
fascination with speed while at the same time denouncing the 'static' art of the past and the passéist or old-fashioned establishment. On the downside it also glorified war, apparently denigrated women, initially favoured Fascism and vilified artistic tradition wanting to 'destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind'
'fuzz box' or 'fuzz pedal', a type of stomp box comprising an amplifier and a clipping circuit, which generates a deliberately distorted version of the input signal. As opposed to other distortion guitar effect pedals, a fuzzbox boosts and clips the signal sufficiently to turn a standard sine wave input in to what is effectively a square wave output. This gives a much more distorted and synthetic sound than a standard distortion or overdrive. Fuzzboxes were the first distortion devices not based on vacuum tubes
an effect associated with the electric guitar where distortion or 'fuzz' is added to the usual sound, possibly an attempt to mimic the characteristic sound of cheaper amplifiers
