Music and Concert Hall Acoustics: Conference Proceedings from Mcha 1995 Yoichi Ando

Music and Concert Hall Acoustics examines the fundamental relationship between the music, the concert hall, and the listener. Chapters cover topics including the analysis of music signals, adjustment of music to a particular music hall, and the temporal and spatial properties of sound fields. This intriguing book also considers the fusing of acoustics and architecture, design studies of concert halls, and design studies of large acoustic spaces and electroacoustic systems, and the most suitable materials to be used in concert hall construction.
From the design and construction of the concert hall itself to individual and global subjective evaluations of sound fields, Music and Concert Hall Acoustics details exactly how each variable in a concert hall can affect a live musical performance. The excellent contributions to this book will be of interest to musically-minded electrical engineers, physicists, and anyone else working in the a field concerned with architectural acoustics.
