MULTIDIMENSIONAL ARTISTIC EDUCATION:THE MATHEMATICAL PERSPECTIVE OF MUSIC COMPOSITION.INDICATIVE ANALYSIS OF APPLICATIONS IN THE WORK JALONSBY IANNIS

Summary/Abstract: Iannis Xenakis, Romanian-born Greek composer and architect, has been established in the History of the Art of Modern Music for the application of mathematics to the solution of problems in Composition and Analysis in Music. By analyzing a work (Jalons) of Xenakis’ period of maturity (1986), this essay focuses on the sieve theory, which relates to the application of ordering structures in various sonic parameters. Analysis shows the high level of organization of sonic parameters, attained through the use of Calculus and vice versa, and proves the necessity of mathematics education for the understanding of artistic creation.
