section three: reading comprehension
question 1-9
composers today use a wider variety of sounds than ever before, including many
that were once considered undesirable noises. composer edgard varese (1883-1965)
called thus the "liberation of sound...the right to make music with any and all sounds."
line electronic music, for example—made with the aid of computers, synthesizers, and
(5) electronic instruments—may include sounds that in the past would not have been
considered musical. environmental sounds, such as thunder, and electronically generated
hisses and blips can be recorded, manipulated, and then incorporated into a musical
composition. but composers also draw novel sounds from voices and nonelectronic
instruments. singers may be asked to scream, laugh, groan, sneeze, or to sing phonetic
(10) sounds rather than words. wind and string players may lap or scrape their instruments.
a brass or woodwind player may hum while playing, to produce two pitches at once;a
pianist may reach inside the piano to pluck a string and then run a metal blade along it. in
