RATIONALE: rec.music.theory
Several music newsgroups exist, but none which cater collectively
to the needs of people whose primary need is to learn and discuss
music theory. Any current discussion of music theory is distributed
piecemeal among several music groups. Rec.music.theory would
provide a forum where persons with an interest in music theory
could come together to discuss it, without sifting through the
messages unrelated to theory which are found in rec.music.classical,
rec.music.bluenote, etc. The proportion of theory to non-theory messages in
these groups is low, although if all theory-related messages from all
newsgroups are counted, the volume is higher than many newsgroups.
Rec.music.compose does not address the needs of people who are not
composing classical music; it also includes messages unrelated to theory,
such as the job market for classical composers, etc.; and it's theoretical
focus is on composition. Rec.music.theory would be a more general forum in
which musicologists, composers, instrumentalists, performers, singers, fans,
and appreciators may all freely discuss theoretical issues.
Clearly there is a desire to have a place to discuss theory; a jazz-theory
mailing-list recently was started, and in a short time several hundred
people subscribed. It has a volume of at least 20 messages a day sent by
mail. This list is provided strict guidance by its administrator and it will
not include non-jazz related discussions of classical music, nor other
topics not within the list's emphasis. It seems safe to assume there is an
equally large need for a forum for discussion of classical and other kinds of
music theory. Rec.music.theory would provide a solution for all of these
needs, and more. When/if necessary, splits into classical, jazz, etc. groups
may be implemented.
CHARTER: rec.music.theory
This newsgroup shall be for the discussion of any topic related to music
theory. Examples of appropriate topics are: the relationship between
harmony and melody, the evolving role of harmony and melody in western
music, how to derive the modes of a scale, contrasts between theoretical
approaches to composition in jazz and classical music, theory of
non-western music traditions, what a triad is, how to teach music theory,
uses of rhythmic techniques in composition, how theory can guide
improvisation, what counterpoint is, the origin of music, the history of
music theory, and so on. The groups shall be an open and welcome place for
both high-level discussions among those knowledgeable about music theory
and those who are beginners and are interested in discussing the most
basic elements of music theory for purposes of edification.
Posting which is of a commercial nature or which promotes business
interests is strictly prohibited. No post which advertises for sale any
goods or services, whether from a business or a private party may be
posted to rec.music.theory. Extoling the virtues of a product or service
by which one profits is limited to one post per month. It is permitted for
somebody to answer questions or comments which are directed to them
about a product or service in which they have a business interest.
It is permitted to post a simple pointer to a web site of any sort no more
than once a month if the text of the pointer doesn't violate the rest of
this charter. Long quotations or text, published or unpublished, or posting
of text which is substantially similar to text previously posted is
prohibited (FAQs and administrative posts excepted).
END CHARTER.
