During the 1952 session he worked with Merce Cunningham, M.C. Richards, Robert Rauschenberg, and David Tudor to produce a mixed media theatrical event, which has become known as The Happening. This term is now applied generally to multimedia events, for example, those organised by members of Fluxus Cage and Rauschenberg: Purposeful Purposelessness Meets Found Order happig (German) steep (colloquial: bill, price, rent, etc.), hefty Happycore a variety of swift, hard trance music Happy hardcore Happy End (German n.) happy ending Happyend (German n.) happy ending Happy hardcore a form of dance music typified by a very fast BPM (usually around 165-180), female vocals, and saccharine lyrics. Its characteristically 4/4 beat "happy" sound distinguishes it from most other forms of breakbeat hardcore, which tend to be darker Happy hardcore from which this extract has been taken Hapsburgs Anglicised name for the House of Habsburg, sometimes referred to as the House of Austria, which was one of the most important royal houses of Europe and is best known for being an origin of all of the formally elected Holy Roman Emperors between 1438 and 1740, as well as rulers of the Austrian and Spanish Empires and several other countries. Originally from Switzerland, the dynasty first reigned in Austria, which they ruled for over six centuries. A series of dynastic marriages brought Burgundy, Spain, Bohemia, Hungary, and other territories into the inheritance. In the 16th century, the family separated into the senior Habsburg Spain and the junior Habsburg Austrian branches, who settled their mutual claims in the Oñate treaty House of Habsburg from which this extract has been taken haptephob (German) haptephobic Haptephobia also known as aphephobia, haphophobia, hapnophobia, haphephobia, haptophobia or thixophobia, a morbid fear of being touched Haptephobie (German f.) haptephobia, haptophobia Haptic tactile, of or relating to or proceeding from the sense of touch Haptik (German f.) haptic, surface feel haptisch (German) haptic Haptonastie (German f.) haptonasty haptonastisch (German) haptonastic Haptonasty the growth movement of a plant in response to a touch or contact stimulus (as in a Venus fly-trap) Haptophobia also known as aphephobia, haphophobia, hapnophobia, haphephobia, haptephobia or thixophobia, a morbid fear of being touched Haptophobie (German f.) haptophobia, haptephobia Haptotropism the movement of parts of a plant (especially tendrils) in response to a touch stimulus Haptotropismus (German m.) haptotropism Harakiri (German n.) hara-kiri Hara-kiri (Japanese) or seppuku, ritual suicide in Japanese, hara-kiri is a colloquialism, seppuku being the more formal term. Samurai (and modern adherents of bushido) would use seppuku, whereas ordinary Japanese (who in feudal times as well as today looked askance at the practice) would use hara-kiri. Hara-kiri is the more common term in English, where it is often mistakenly rendered hari-kari jigai was a traditional method of ritual suicide for women in Japan (for example, that of Cio-Cio-San (Madame Butterfly)). Although the term literally means 'self damage' and in principle can refer to suicide in general, in practice it normally refers to the ritual suicide of women by the cutting of the jugular vein with a tanto (6-12 inch knife) or kaiken (6 inch knife). Often, they would be hidden prior within the sash of their kimono. Cio-Cio-San uses her father's dagger - the weapon with which he committed suicide - and reads its inscription: "To die with honour, when one can no longer live with honour." She takes the sword and a white scarf behind a screen, and emerges a moment later with the scarf wrapped round her throat Jigai from which the relevant comment has been taken Seppuku from which the relevant comment has been taken Harakiri begehen (German) to commit hara-kiri Harald (German m.)

Hardanger fiddle, Haardingfele (Italian), violon de Hardanger (French) Hardart a musical instruent invented by Peter Schickele which consists of a variety of tone-generating devices mounted on the frame of an Automat (a coin-operated food dispenser). It is used in the Concerto for Horn and Hardart, a play on the name of proprietors Horn & Hardart, who pioneered the North American use of the Automat Hardback or hardcover, a book with cardboard or cloth or leather covers Hardbass see 'Hardstyle' Hard bop the style of the late 50s, engineered by Horace Silver, Art Blakey, etc. Still essentially 'bebop', the style used hard-driving rhythmic feel and vehement, biting lines and harmony drenched with urban blues, rhythm 'n blues and gospel. Original compositions were stressed over the old standards used in 'bebop', ranging from simple riff-based blues to elaborate compositions, sometimes using whole-tone scales. Hard bop had a black, street flavor - a reaction, in part, to the intellectuality of the Cool School Hard bop Hardcopy (English, German f.) in information handling, a hard copy is a permanent reproduction, or copy, in the form of a physical object, of any media suitable for direct use by a person (in particular paper), of displayed or transmitted data Hardcore hardcore (sometimes 'ardcore) is a term that has been used to describe a variety of related electronic dance music styles over almost two decades. While the term "hardcore" was first used in a musical genre title with the emergence of hardcore punk in the late 1970s, it was also used in the early 1990s in reference to both hardcore techno, an intensified and harsh form of techno that emerged from the United States and the Netherlands, and breakbeat hardcore, which emerged in the UK from acid house and breakbeat see 'hardcore punk' Hardcore dance music Hardcore dancing a form of 'mosh' (or 'slamdancing'), an activity performed in a 'mosh' pit at hardcore music shows. Generally the dancing is done to certain visceral parts of hardcore songs specially written to make the audience move around. Common names for these parts are "breakdowns", "beatdowns", and "two-steps" Hardcore dancing from which this extract has been taken Hardcore Emo a style of music that existed primarily in the early-mid 90s, also known as "chaotic emo" Hardcore Emo from which this extract has been taken Hardcore punk or hardcore, a faster and heavier version of 'punk rock' usually characterized by short, loud, and often passionate songs with exceptionally fast tempos and chord changes Hardcore punk from which this extract has been taken Hardcore techno a kind of techno music typified by fast repetitive beats, often with a compressed kick-drum Hardcore techno Hardcore trance a hybrid of 'trance' music and 'happy hardcore' with 'house' elements. The style focuses largly on fast 4/4 beats with uplifting leads, looped vocals (often sampled from cult films) and extended builds leading to frantic crescendos, before 'dropping the beat' Hardcore trance from which this extract has been taken Hardcover (German n.) hardcover edition, hardback edition Hard Cover (German n.) hardcover edition, hardback edition Hardcover-Ausgabe (German f.) hardcover edition, hardback edition Harddisk (s.), Harddisks (pl.)

Hard house is typified by a set formula of up-tempo compressed kick drums, signature acid house style basslines and the use of 'hoover' type sounds. Generally hard house is part of a wider group of styles called hard dance and has little in common with the modern techno or house scenes Hard house from which this extract has been taken hardi (French, literally 'rash') daring, bold, impudent, ardito "Brave, valiant, courageous .... Also means impudent, saucy. ... Is sometimes simply the opposite of modest. ...

The world knows the harem by way of the Ottoman Empire. The word itself means privacy that is very respected and honoured. In Western languages such as English, this term refers collectively to the women in any polygynous household as well as to the "no men allowed" area, or in more modern usage to a number of women followers or admirers of a man. In other Western languages, the term seraglio - from an Italian variant of Persian saraay, meaning 'palace, enclosed courts' - has much the same connotation Harem from which this extract has been taken Harem pants loose fitting trousers tied or gathered at the ankle, very popular in Turkish dress and 'belly dancing' Haremsdame (German f.) lady of the harem Haremsfrau (German f.) harem woman, odalisque Haremshose (German f.) harem pants, harem trousers Haremsmädchen (German n.) harem girl Haremswächter (German m.) harem guard hären (German) (made) of hair härenes Gewand (German n.) hair shirt härenes Hemd (German n.) cilice, haircloth Häresiarch (German m.) heresiarch Häresie (s.), Häresien (pl.)

Centred in the Harlem neighbourhood of New York City, the movement impacted urban centres throughout the United States. Across the cultural spectrum (literature, drama, music, visual art, dance) and also in the realm of social thought (sociology, historiography, philosophy), artists and intellectuals found new ways to explore the historical experiences of black America and the contemporary experiences of black life in the urban North. Challenging white paternalism and racism, African-American artists and intellectuals rejected imitating the styles of Europeans and white Americans, and instead celebrated black dignity and creativity. Asserting their freedom to express themselves on their own terms, they explored their identities as black Americans, celebrating the black culture that had emerged out of slavery, as well as cultural ties to Africa Harlem Renaissance from which this extract has been taken Harlequin a clown or buffoon (after the Harlequin character in the commedia dell'arte) variegate with spots or marks (for example, the harlequin ladybird) Harlequinade that part of a play or pantomime in which the Harlequin and the clown play leading parts, but now come to mean foolish or comic pranks Harm abbreviation of Harmonium (German: harmonium) Harm (German m. - dated) grief Harmagedon (German n.)

Harmon® mute Harmonia (Greek, Latin, Italian, Finnish) harmony harmoniajärjestelmä (Finnish) functional harmony Harmonic armonica (Italian), harmonisch (German), harmonique (French), relating to harmony, for example, harmonic minor scale, and to the theory and practice of harmony or harmonics, suoni armonici (Italian pl.), Übertöne (German pl.), sons harmoniques (French pl.), a series of notes, called partials that accompany the fundamental (prime tone, generator) when it is produced with a string, a pipe, the human voice, etc. The fundamental frequency is called 'first harmonic', the 'first partial' or the 'first mode'. If all the partials are harmonic then the numbering of the harmonics matches that of the partials. On a string, harmonics can be produced by lightly stopping it at various points along its length there is a lack of consistency in the use of the terms 'natural harmonics' and 'artifical harmonics'. Many writers distinguish between the harmonics present in any note, the contribution of which gives a note its particular character (which they call 'natural' because to some degree they are a feature of any note and are therefore part of the 'nature of the note'), and those which have to be produced by the intervention of the performer (for example, by the careful placing of a finger on a vibrating string, in order to stiffle particular harmonics while allowing the presence of others, thereby causing a change in the pitch of the resultant note), which they term 'artificial' because the string is no longer vibrating in its natural modes. Other writers make no distinction and use both terms synonymously. Harmonica or glass harmonica, a set of glass bowls set horizontally to rotate in a water filled chamber where the sound is generated by touching lightly the edge of one of the bowls with a wettened finger (musical glasses) or glass dulcimer, a glockenspiel with strips or plates of glass rather than strings (English, French m.) also known, among other things, as a 'mouth organ', 'French harp', 'tin sandwich', 'blues harp', simply 'harp', 'Mississippi saxophone', Mundharmonika (German f). The prototype of the harmonica was undoubtedly the work of Christian Friedrich Ludwig Buschmann (1805-1864) son of the maker of the Terpodion, another 'free-reed' instrument. In 1821 he constructed a small mouth-blown instrument of 15 reeds as an aid to tuning. He discovered that the free-reeds could be played both soft and loud without affecting the pitch of the sound, and he proceeded to make an improved model, called the Aura, which he described in a letter in 1828 as being suitable for melodic playing accompanied by the Terpodion see 'chromatic harmonica' Harmonica Harmonica Harmonica Lessons.com Harmonica Key Change Table Harmônica (Portuguese f.) harmonic Harmonica à bouche (French f.) mouth organ, harmonica Harmonica à clavier (French f.) keyed harmonica, melodica Harmonica-ätherisch (German) in German organs, a mixture stop of very delicate scale Harmonic accompaniment music, usually chordal, played to accompany a melody line Harmonica de bois (French f.) xylophone, xilofono (Italian m.), Xylophon (German n.), xylophone (French m.), xilófono (Spanish m.), xilofón (Spanish m.)

The harmonic sequence (divisio harmonica) produces the natural harmonics and particularly the major triad, while the former (divisio arithmetica) gives the notes of a minor triad Harmonicello a baritone string instrument with five playing strings made of gut and ten sympathetic strings made of metal Harmonic figuration broken chords Harmonic flute see 'harmonic stop' Harmonic form a reference to one of the forms of the minor scale, namely 'the harmonic minor scale' Harmonic function traditional harmonic theory holds that chords have 'functions'. These functions are believed to spring from the idea of a harmonic axis consisting of I and V. The other sonorities, or chords are considered to be substitutes for I or V, or for the IV, called the dominant preparation. The function of I is that of resolution and stability, whereas V represents instability, tension and drive Harmonic glissando produced by sliding the finger lightly over the string rather then pressing the string against the fingerboard (as for a normal glissando). The effect is notated by placing a small o over the notehead and also with the instruction harm. gliss. Harmonic hand see 'Guidonian hand' Harmonichord also known as the piano-violin, violin-piano and the tetrachordon, a keyed-instrument invented by father and son Johann Gottfried and Johann Friedrich Kaufmann in 1810. It resembles a piano in appearance and is played like a piano, but produces a sound like a violin. The sound is produced by the pressure of the keys which sets a revolving wooden cylinder covered with leather, and charged with rosin, in action on the strings Harmonichord Harmonici (Italian pl.) harmonics Harmonic interval the interval between two notes in a chord generally, two notes played simultaneously Harmoniciste (French m./f.) harmonica player Harmonic legato a performing device on the piano which Chopin liked to use but which today is largely forgotten Harmonic mark in violin music, a sign (o) placed over a note signifying that a harmonic note is required Harmonic major scale the harmonic major scale is the same as the major scale, except that the sixth degree, VI, is lowered by a semitone (half step) both when the scale is ascending and when it is descending. It can also be thought of as the harmonic minor scale with the third degree sharpened or as a mode of the inversion of the harmonic minor scale [corrected by Mat] The harmonic major scale Harmonic major third the interval between two notes whose frequencies are in the ratio (5:4) Harmonic minor scale the harmonic minor scale is the same as the natural minor scale, except that the leading note, the seventh degree, VII, is raised by a semitone (half step) both when the scale is ascending and when it is descending. An important characteristic of the harmonic minor scale — in contrast to the natural minor — is its inclusion of two sets of chords whose inversions are structurally identical, and hence have ambiguous tonality. These are the diminished seventh chord (found on the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th degrees) and the augmented chord (found on the 3rd, 5th and 7th degrees) a mode consisting of the rising interval sequence T-S-T-T-S-T+S-S (T=tone or whole-step, S=semitone or half-step, T+S=three semitones or half-steps) Harmonic Minor The harmonic minor scale Harmonic minor third the interval between two notes whose frequencies are in the ratio (6:5) Harmonic note see 'flageolet-tone' also called 'harmonic tone', a note that is part of the chord that is sounding Harmônico (Portuguese m.) harmonic, overtone Harmonicon an orchestrion, a musical instrument consisting of a large barrel-organ, containing, in addition to the ordinary pipes, others to imitate the different wind-instruments, and an apparatus to produce the effects of drums, triangles, cymbals, etc. so that the combined sounds produced the effect of a military band a harmonica a keyed harmonica combined with flue stops Harmonic ostinato see ostinato Harmonic overtone use of the term overtone is generally confined to acoustic waves, especially in applications related to music. Despite confused usage, an overtone is either a harmonic or a partial. A harmonic (or harmonic overtone) is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. A partial or inharmonic overtone is a non-integer multiple of a fundamental frequency Harmonic piano pedal the harmonic pedal give three effects : "sounding-on" for all the strings, while at the same time the player may use an articulated playing style a resonance (or sustain) effect usually produced with the classical damper pedal a sostenuto for notes already played, without compromising the use of the damper pedal when playing other notes the harmonic pedal allows the "storage" of any notes chosen that are to be kept in resonance. The hand is free to release these notes, and can now play other notes Harmonic piano pedal Harmonic piccolo see 'harmonic stop' Harmonic progression the movement from one chord to another, usually in terms of their function Harmonic reeds an organ stop, one of the 'harmonic stops' Harmonic regression an unconventional sequence of chords that functions in opposition to conventional harmonic theory concepts Harmonic rhythm the rate of harmonic change Harmonic rhythm Harmonics Claudius Ptolemaeus (c.100-c.178), who we call Ptolemy, wrote an influential work, Harmonics on music theory. After criticizing the approaches of his predecessors, Ptolemy argued for basing musical intervals on mathematical ratios (in contrast to the followers of Aristoxenus) backed up by empirical observation (in contrast to the overly-theoretical approach of the Pythagoreans). He presented his own divisions of the tetrachord and the octave, which he derived with the help of a monochord. Ptolemy's astronomical interests also appeared in a discussion of the music of the spheres Ptolemy from which this extract has been taken suoni armonici (Italian pl.), Übertöne (German pl.), sons harmoniques (French pl.), the elements of the aural spectrum there is a lack of consistency in the use of the terms 'natural harmonics' and 'artifical harmonics'.

Debain of Paris, in which air is pumped, using foot operated pedals, outward through a set of metallic reeds in India, the 'harmonium' also known as peti or baja. This instrument is not a native Indian instrument. It is a European instrument which was imported in the nineteenth century. It is a reed organ with hand pumped bellows. Although it is a relatively recent introduction, it has spread throughout the subcontinent. Today, it is used in virtually every musical genre except the south Indian classical genre Harmonium by Alexandre & Fils, Paris, ca. 1844-1855 Book Harmonium, Paris, France, ca 1880 Harmonium (India) Harmonium indien (French m.)

It is composed of two parts, a bulb that fits into the bell of the trumpet into which all the player's air is directed, and a stem or tube that can be inserted into the mute or left out completely. In the late 1950s, Miles Davis famously used a Harmon® mute without the stem to achieve his unique sound Harmonometer (German) an instrument, now obsolete, for measuring the relative pitch of sounds Harmonomètre (French) Harmonometer Harmony armonía (Spanish), armonia (Italian), harmonie (French), Harmonie (German), Zusammenklang (German) the relationship between notes when heard together, often described as the vertical dimension in music, where melody (or counterpoint) is the horizontal Harmony Harmony Harmony or Rapture in Music Harmony flute a term aplied to flute sizes other than the concert flute and piccolo Harmony Hall [1839-1845] founded by Robert Owen, the official Owenite community sponsored by the Universal Community Society of Rational Religionists. Conceived on a grand scale it consisted of a series of farms around an impressive 3 storey communal house. The scheme was beset with problems almost from the start, the only sucesses being on the farming side. Much of the failure of the community must be blamed on Owen's mismanagement, despite attempts by others to save the project. The failure of Harmony Hall marked the end of Owenite socialism as a movement Harmony of the Universe, Pythagorean see 'Music of the Spheres' Pythagorean Harmony of the Universe Harmos 1/1728 part of an octave.

The third row is slightly offset so that the player hooks their finger between the outer rows and reaches in between the outer strings to reach the accidentals see 'triple harp' cross-strung harp a harp that has two rows of strings, but the strings are not in parallel rows. Instead, the strings cross in the centre of the harp, just like a big X. The harp is tuned so that the right hand reaches "up" for the naturals and "down" for the flats, and the left hand does the opposite. The advantage of a cross-strung harp is that all of the notes are available to the fingers at all times. The disadvantage is that the space required for an octave is much wider because you have to allow room for an additional 5 strings to vibrate within that octave. This means that you have to stretch your hand much wider to reach an octave. It also means that a cross-strung harp either has a small note range or is very large in African culture, an instrument distinguished from a lyre by its triangular shape and the unequal length of its strings. Called dilla (Chad), ouombi (Gabon), ngombi (Central Africa), loma (Liberia), kinde (Islamicized regions), and ougdye (Cameroon), it has spread throughout Africa with a wide diversity of shapes (angled, arched), it is used commonly for praises, healing ceremonies, and bardic songs Harp Harp 101 from which much of this information has been taken Harp Harp, Germany, ca 1700 Pedal Harp, Paris, France, 1803 Harp alternative name for the 'harmonica' or 'mouth organ' in nyabinghi, a religious movement that influenced many Jamaican Rastafari, 'harp' is the generic term for drums, in particular, a bass drum and two middle-pitched drums called akete (also called the 'repeater') and funde that accompany nyabinghi chants (also binghi) Nyabinghi from whihc this information has been taken Harpa (Spanish f., Portuguese) harp Harpaxophobia morbid fear of being robbed Harpaxophobie (German f.) harpaxophobia Harp, dital see 'dital harp' Harpe (French f., Norwegian) harparpa (Italian, Spanish), harpe (French) Harpe à crochets (French f.) hook or hooked harp Harpe à double accrochement (French f.) double-action harp, arpa a doppio movimento (Italian f.), Doppelpedalharfe (German f.), arpa de doble acción (Spanish f.)

This second neck holds up to seven unfretted bass strings, which are plucked like those of a harp. The six central strings are fretted on the standard guitar neck, and are frequently strummed like on a standard guitar. There are also eight unfretted treble strings below these 'guitar' strings, which are also plucked. The same modification has been applied to the Hawaiian guitar and the ukulele Vintage Harp Guitar Photographs Harp Guitar, Harp Mandolin, Harp Hawaiian Guitar, Harp Ukulele Harp Guitar from which this extract has been taken Harpicordo (Italian) harpsichord Harpist one who plays the harp Harpiste (French m./f.) harpist Harp lute a modern stringed instrument, a cross between the harp and the guitar, with frets, twelve strings with a pleasant but not very powerful sound see 'lute harp' Harp mandolin harp mandolins were made at the turn of the twentieth century.

It is somewhat ironic that Partch became so associated with this 43-tone scale, because the number 43 is more or less arbitrary. In fact, the first of Partch's "four concepts" is The scale of musical intervals begins with absolute consonance (1 to 1) and gradually progresses into an infinitude of dissonance, the consonance of the intervals decreasing as the odd numbers of their ratios increase. Nevertheless, almost all of Partch's music is written in the 43-tone scale, and although most of his instruments can play only subsets of the full scale, it's useful as an all-encompassing framework. If an interval isn't found in Partch's 43-tone scale, it probably isn't of great importance to Partch's music Harry Partch's 43-tone scale from which this information has been taken Harsch (German m.) snow crust, frozen snow, crusted snow harsch (German) gravelly (snow), crusted (snow), biting (wind), harsh (words) harsche Kritik (German f.) harsh criticism, abrasive criticism, animadversion harschen (German) to freeze over Harschschnee (German m.) crusted snow Harst (German m. - Switzerland) advance guard hart (German) firm, callous, rigorously, toughly, unkind, rigorous, sternly, austere, grim, severe, stony, bitter, stern (test, times, opposition, etc.), punishing, rough, harsh, tart (wine), dour (struggle), hard-fought (competition, battle, game), tough, dourly, cruel, hard-nosed, trying (punishing), hard (water, etc.), hard-edged (figurative: uncompromising) (German) major (in respect to intervals and scales) hart abbremsen (German) to brake hard hart aber gerecht (German) firm but fair Hartal (German m.) or hartaal, a term in many Indian languages for strike action, used often during the Indian Independence Movement hart am Wind (German) close-hauled (sailing) hart am Wind segeln (German) to sail close to the wind (also figurative) hart an der Schmerzgrenze sein (German) to be a bit close to the bone (colloquial) hart anpacken (German) to slam hart arbeiten (German) to keep working hard, to labour, to work hard, to toil hart arbeitend (German) hard-working (hart) auf dem Boden der Realität aufschlagen (German) to come (back) down to earth (with a bang, with a bump, with a jolt) (hart) auf dem Boden der Tatsachen aufschlagen (German) to come (back) down to earth (with a bang, with a bump, with a jolt) hart auf seinen Fersen (German) hard on his heels härtbar (German) temperable, hardenable (steel) härtbarer Stahl (German m.) hardening steel Härtbarkeit (German f.) temperability, hardenability hart bedrängt werden (German) to be hard pressed Hartbefestigung (German f.) hard paving hartbeschichtet (German) hard-coated hart drängen (German) to press hard Hartdrehen (German n.) hard turning (hart) durchgreifen (German) to take drastic measures hart durchgreifen gegen ...
