滬江英樂訊??? 這個圓周率歌不是蔥娘那首經(jīng)典版本哦,而是實實在在將3.14159……這些數(shù)字對應成音符譜寫的曲子~還蠻好聽的哎!苦惱于數(shù)學的孩子可以在學習之余聽聽這首優(yōu)美的鋼琴曲~
WHAT does Pi sound like? Pretty good, actually.
圓周率聽起來是什么效果?還真不錯!
To celebrate Pi Day — the 14th day of the third month — Canadian musician Michael Blake has set the mathematical constant to a tune.
為慶祝3月14日圓周率日,作曲家Michael Blake將圓周率鋪成了曲子。
Blake's music video on YouTube explains how each of the eight notes in any major scale can be assigned a numerical value — C being one, D two and so on. The same thing goes for chords.
他利用勛伯格十二平均律中所引入的半音階概念,將半音階與數(shù)字一一對應,即令1=C,則3=D,5=E,6=F,依此類推。
And as if that wasn't impressive enough on its own, Blake set the piece to a tempo of 157 beats per minutes, or 314 divided by two.
這段小小的曲子每分鐘節(jié)拍數(shù)為157,恰為314的一半。由簡單的鋼琴旋律引入,中途又加入了手風琴、木琴、夏威夷四弦琴等樂器,豐富了整個旋律。
Since the success of his Pi video, Blake says he has been inundated with requests to create more music based on maths.
Blake說,已經(jīng)有很多人問他再創(chuàng)作一些數(shù)學相關的音樂了。
