The Schillinger System of Musical Composition, named after Joseph Schillinger, is a method of musical composition based on mathematical processes. It comprises theories of rhythm, harmony, melody, counterpoint, form, and semantics (emotional meaning, as in movie music). It offers a systematic and non-genre specific approach to music analysis and composition, a descriptive rather than prescriptive grammar of music. The Schillinger System might have served as a road map for many later developments in music theory and composition. Instead, it languished in relative obscurity. ==Schillinger's career== Schillinger was a professor at The New School in New York City and taught such celebrated musicians as George Gershwin, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and a host of Hollywood and Broadway composers. There are a limited number of Certified Schillinger Teachers in the world. In New York, Schillinger flourished, becoming famous as the advisor to many of America's leading popular musicians and concert music composers. These include George Gershwin, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Paul Lavalle, Oscar Levant, Tommy Dorsey, and Carmine Coppola among others. Gershwin spent four years studying with Schillinger. During this period, he composed ''Porgy and Bess'' and consulted Schillinger on matters concerning the opera, particularly its orchestration. In the field of electronic music, Schillinger collaborated with Léon Theremin, inventor of the Theremin, an early electronic musical instrument, composing the first concert work for theremin and orchestra, the ''First Airphonic Suite'', in 1929. His postal tuition courses were so successful he was able to rent a twelve-room apartment on Fifth Avenue. Schillinger accredited a small group of students as qualified teachers of the system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schillinger System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
