The Irish composer John Field once sent two grateful melodies to a "hostess" after a nocturnal feast, the first spelling out "BEEF" and the second "CABBAGE". And ciphers have often been used for more intimate purposes, as in Brahms's musical love letters and Schumann's white-hot anagrammatic wooing of his pianist child bride, "Clara". But the release on CD of the definitive version of Alban Berg's Violin Concerto allows us to savour a uniquely convoluted and fateful musical mystery: no composer was more... (The Australian, Australia).
“Jitterbug” is a fun dance with a horrible origin. And what classic dance was once considered “indecent?”
November 9, 2010 24 Tonight the stars will boogie again, getting one step closer to the championship on “Dancing with the Stars.” Will tonight’s show feature the rumba? The cha-cha? The jive?
We’re less interested in which dances we’ll see tonight and more intrigued with how the dances got their names.

[From Italian, from Latin "finalis" ("last"), from "finis" ("end") that's also the source of such words as "final", "finish", "finance", "define", and "fine".]

The name "goth" originally came from a Germanic tribe (ie the "Goths"). The Romans regarded them as barbaric and uncultured, much like the Vandals. "Gothic" was later applied to a style of medieval architecture by critics who regarded it as similarly barbaric and uncultured (something similar happened with the term "Vandal"). The term was later applied to a late 18th/early 19th century style of literature which had a fascination with death and the supernatural.
Exactly how "goth" became applied to the "post-punk musical movement" is unclear. The earliest use within the post-punk scene is likely to have been either by Martin Hannett, Joy Division's producer, or by Siouxsie and the Banshees in the summer of 1979 (see below). By late 1979 and early 1980, the term "gothic" seems to have been fairly common in music journalism to describe bands such as Joy Division and the Banshees. In 1981 Abbo from UK Decay used the term "gothic" to describe the emerging band movement. Then later, probably about 1982, Ian Astbury used the term "goths" to describe Sex Gang Children's fans. On the surface, there seems to be a clear progression here, with the term gothic/goth being used to describe first individual bands, then a movement of bands, then the followers of that movement.

Spanish Loan Words
By Sharon
...
Trade in the Caribbean region brought a number of local Spanish words into the language:
barbecue | cannibal | llama | hammock | hurricane | potato | tobacco | yucca
Many words were brought into English by cowboys working in the Southwest USA, such as:
bronco | buckaroo (from vaquero, Spanish for cowboy) | desperado | rodeo | vigilante
Then there are several words for food and drink that you just can’t describe in English:
avocado | banana | burrito | chili | dorado | guacamole | maize | margarita | paella | papaya | pimento | tequila | | tortilla | vanilla | yam
And then there are others, where we know the Spanish words, but we’re just not sure exactly how they got here.
adobe | albino | alcove | alfalfa | algebra | alligator (from the Spanish for lizard - el lagarto) | armadillo | barracuda | cafeteria | canyon | chihuahua | cigar/cigarette | cockroach | embargo | guerilla | guitar | iguana | incommunicado | jaguar | macho | mosquito | renegade | savvy | siesta | tornado
This is just a selection of the Spanish loan words we use in English. Have you got any favorite ones to add to the list?

Guitar
"guitar" (n.)
lute-like musical instrument, 1620s, from French "guitare", which was altered by Spanish and Provençal forms from Old French "guiterre", earlier "guiterne", from Latin "cithara", from Greek "kithara" "cithara", a triangular seven-stringed musical instrument related to the lyre, perhaps from Persian "sihtar" (see "sitar").
In post-classical times, the ancient instrument developed in many varieties in different places, keeping a local variant of the old name or a diminutive of it. Some of these local instruments subsequently became widely known, and many descendants of "kithara" reached English in reference to various stringed, guitar-like instruments: "citole", "giterne" (both early 14c.), "gittern", "cithern" (1560s), "cittern" (1590s), "cither" (c. 1600), "guitar", and "zither".
Modern "guitar" also is directly from Spanish "guitarra" (14c.), which ultimately is from the Greek. The Arabic word is perhaps from Spanish or Greek, though often the relationship is said to be the reverse. The modern "guitar" is one of a large class of instruments used in all countries and ages but particularly popular in Spain and periodically so in France and England. Other 17c, forms of the word in English include "guittara", "guitarra", "gittar", and "guitarre".

Guitar-Strumming Tyrannosaurus Rex
This jukin' dinosaur was found next to the mask design credits on the Silicon Graphics MIPS R12000 microprocessor. He appears to us to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but then again we're not really experts on dinosaurs. Directly to the right of the dinosaur appears some of the names of the engineers who participated in the design of the chip, which was internally code-named the Trex. The silicon reptile is about 50 microns high and is isolated on his own pad. We have been informed that this dinosaur is derived from the clip-art Hypercard stack that was shipped with Hypercard in the Macintosh OS version 7.5. A copy of this clip-art is illustrated below.

"Guitar" goes back ultimately to Greek "kithára", which was a stringed instrument related to the lyre. It was a kind of harp which originally used a turtle shell as a resonator. Several unrelated medieval and Renaissance instruments took their names from this Greek word. One is the "citole", a medieval stringed instrument, which English acquired via the Latin "cithara". "Zither" also comes from "cithara" but entered English via German in the 19th century.
The "cittern" (also called a "gittern" or English "guitar"), was a renaissance plucked stringed instrument, got its name from "guiterne", an early form of the French word for "guitar", combined with Latin "cithara". From the 16th to the 18th centuries one might expect to find a "cittern" in any English barber's shop where the patrons would play upon it while waiting for their "short back and sides". "Citterns" have undergone a renaissance of their own recently and are being increasingly used for playing traditional Celtic music.
English got "guitar" itself from French "guitare", which came, via Spanish "guitarra", from Arabic "quitar". The Arabic, of course, came from the Greek "kithára".
...
sitar and guitar
...
The Indian "sitar" is descended from a smaller Iranian instrument called the "setar", which merely means "three strings" - "se" meaning "three", and "tar" meaning "string". With a Hindi accent, "setar" became "sitar". Oddly enough most of the Iranian setars have four strings these days (which would properly make them "chahartar") and the Indian "sitar" usually has around 17. Would this be a "satdastar"? (My Hindi is rusty verging upon nonexistent), "Sitar" is certainly easier to say.
...
Many Spanish words also made their way into American English during the expansion and settlement of the Spanish-influenced American West, including words like "armadillo", "alligator", "canyon", "cannibal", "guitar", "mosquito", "mustang", "ranch", "rodeo", "stampede", "tobacco", "tornado" and "vigilante" (some of which were also originally derived from native languages). To a lesser extent, French words, from the French presence in the Louisiana area and in Canada, contributed loanwords like "gopher", "prairie", "depot", "cache", "cent" and "dime", as well as French-derived place names like "Detroit", "Illinois", "Des Moines", etc.

Nym Word Game
Posted by Grant Barrett on August 4, 2012 · Add Comment
Our Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a new word game titled “The Secrets of Nym.” In Alcoholics Anonymous, denial is said to stand for “Don’t Even Notice I Am Lying,” which is a "backronym". An "acoustic guitar" could be considered a "retronym". And an editor named “Daily” is an example of an "aptronym". This is part of a complete episode.
Auf der Orthographischen Konferenz von 1901 in Berlin (auch II. Orthographische Konferenz genannt) wurde eine gemeinsame deutsche Orthographie aller deutschsprachigen Staaten festgelegt, die zu großen Teilen auf der preußischen Schulorthographie beruhte, aber darüber hinaus auch Vorschläge der Orthographischen Konferenz von 1876 übernahm, die von Preußen noch nicht übernommen worden waren.
Die damals standardisierte deutsche Rechtschreibung wurde in den deutschsprachigen Ländern (Länder des Deutschen Reiches, Österreich, Schweiz) mit geringen Änderungen einheitlich verwendet (abgesehen vom ß, das sich in der Schweiz in der Antiqua nie durchsetzen konnte und ab 1934 an den Schulen auch nicht mehr gelehrt wurde). Die nach der Konferenz noch zahlreich vorhandenen Doppel- und Dreifachformen wurden in unterschiedlichen Hausorthographien beseitigt, insbesondere durch den Buchdruckerduden von 1903. Schon bald nach der Konferenz wurden von verschiedenen Seiten Mängel beklagt und weiterer Reformbedarf gesehen, der nur sehr spärlich angenommen wurde.

Outline of guitars
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to guitars:
A guitar is a plucked string instrument, usually played with fingers or a pick. The guitar consists of a body with a rigid neck to which the strings, generally six in number, are attached. Most guitar necks have metal frets attached (the exception is fretless bass guitars). Guitars are traditionally constructed of various woods and strung with animal gut or, more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Some modern 2010-era guitars are made of polycarbonate materials. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers. There are two primary families of guitars: acoustic and electric. An acoustic guitar has a wooden top and a hollow body. An electric guitar may be a solid-body or hollow body instrument, which is made louder by using a pickup and plugging it into a guitar amplifier and speaker. Another type of guitar is the low-pitched bass guitar.

Klassik Guitar
Classical guitar
The classical guitar (also called the Spanish guitar) is the member of the guitar family used in classical music. It is an acoustical wooden guitar with strings made of nylon as opposed to the metal strings used in acoustic and electric guitars. The traditional classical guitar has 12 frets clear of the body and is held on the left leg so that the hand falls at the back of the soundhole. The steel string guitar, on the other hand, has fourteen frets clear of the body and is played off the hip.
In addition to the instrument, the phrase "classical guitar" can refer to two other concepts:
The instrumental finger technique common to classical guitar—individual strings plucked with the fingernails or, rarely, fingertips
The instrument's classical music repertoire
The shape, construction, and material of classical guitars vary, but typically they have a modern classical guitar shape, or historic classical guitar shape resembling early romantic guitars from France and Italy. Classical guitar strings were once made of catgut and nowadays are made of polymers such as nylon, with a fine silver wire wrap on the bass strings.
Guitar
The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings, usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically or through electrical amplification (for an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, respectively). It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the frets) the strings with the fingers of the left hand. The guitar is a type of chordophone, traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut, nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its construction and tuning. The modern guitar was preceded by the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument.
There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar:The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings's vibration, amplified by the body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber. The classical guitar is often played as a solo instrument using a comprehensive finger-picking technique. The term "finger-picking" can also refer to a specific tradition of folk, blues, bluegrass, and country guitar playing in the United States.

The Merry Widow (operetta by Lehár)
The Merry Widow (film by Lubitsch [1934])
Merry Widow
1907, from the English title of Franz Lehar's operetta "Die Lustige Witwe" (1905). "The Lusty Widow" would have been more etymological (see lust (n.)), but would have given the wrong impression in English. Meaning "a type of wide-brimmed hat" (popularized in the play) is attested from 1908.

Die lustige Witwe ist eine Operette in drei Akten von Franz Lehár. Das Libretto stammt von Victor Léon und Leo Stein nach Henri Meilhacs Lustspiel L’attaché d'ambassade von 1861. Die Uraufführung fand am 30. Dezember 1905 am Theater an der Wien in Wien statt. Die Sänger der Uraufführung waren Mizzi Günther und Louis Treumann. Die Spieldauer der Operette beträgt zweidreiviertel Stunden, Ort der Handlung ist Paris.
Die lustige Witwe ist Lehárs erfolgreichste und bekannteste Operette. Zwischen 1905 und 1948, dem Todesjahr des Komponisten, wurde sie weltweit über 300.000 Mal aufgeführt. Daneben wurde sie mehrfach verfilmt.

„Lippen schweigen, 's flüstern Geigen“ fungiert als Hauptthema in Alfred Hitchcocks Film „Im Schatten des Zweifels“ („Shadow of a Doubt“, 1943), wird dort jedoch als „Merry Widow Waltz“ („Lustige-Witwe-Walzer“) bezeichnet.

The Merry Widow (German: Die lustige Witwe) is an operetta by the Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehár. The librettists, Viktor Léon and Leo Stein, based the story - concerning a rich widow, and her countrymen's attempt to keep her money in the principality by finding her the right husband - on an 1861 comedy play, L'attaché d'ambassade (The Embassy Attaché) by Henri Meilhac.
The operetta has enjoyed extraordinary international success since its 1905 premiere in Vienna and continues to be frequently revived and recorded. Film and other adaptations have also been made. Well-known music from the score includes the "Vilja Song", "Da geh' ich zu Maxim" ("You'll Find Me at Maxim's"), and the "Merry Widow Waltz".

Original Song Title: "I Am The Resurrection" (MP3)

Parody Song Title: "I Am The Amiright Resurrection"
Parody Written by: Fack Sabbath
The Stone Roses
The band took their name from a 1959 spy thriller of that title by Sarah Gainham. It was published in the UK in 1971 as mass market paperback and one of the band members owned a copy, think it was John Squire.
Stone Roses
A contradiction: The Stone Roses could write the most fantastic rock song and the sweetest ballads so they picked two words which contradicted each other Stone (Hard) Roses (Soft) - Led Zep have the same thing going on, but I don't know if that was the reason behind their name.
...
However, after the synth-heavy early 1980s, guitar bands had been enjoying a renaissance in the latter half of the decade. Johnny Marr (The Smiths' guitarist) had almost single-handedly rescued the guitar pop genre by blending the punch of the early Rolling Stones with the melodic foppery of The Byrds. The Stone Roses ran with this idea, pouring layer after layer of gorgeous fret board scampering over dancey, baggy bass line hi jinx and vocals, that oozed and melted like caramel on toast. One of the tracks was one of the other tracks backwards, for goodness' sake.

Kurzbeschreibung
Roger North's The Musicall Grammarian 1728 is a treatise on musical eloquence in all its branches. Of its five parts,Two substantial chapters of commentary introduce the text, which is edited here for the first time in its entirety: Jamie Kassler places his treatise within the broader context not only of North's musical and non-musical writings but also their relation to the intellectual ferment of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and Mary Chan describes physical and textual aspects of the treatise as evidence for North's processes of thinking about musical thinking.
- I and II, on the orthoepy, orthography and syntax of music, constitute a grammar;
- III and IV, on the arts of invention and communication, form a rhetoric; and
- V, on etymology, consists of a history.
