We have to educate our perception; it has to be gathered and shepherded, and it needs something to graze upon.

Frederick Sommer
Art and Aesthetics, 1982

In 1934, Frederick Sommer’s wife, Frances, was hired by the State of Arizona and sent to University Southern California, for six-months of training in social work. Frederick accompanied his wife to Los Angeles. When she was in school, he spent time in the various libraries affiliated with the City of Los Angeles Public Libraries. In a library dedicated to music, Sommer encountered original musical scores, drawn by the composers.

Having been raised with an appreciation for opera and classical music, Frederick Sommer began to explore the correlation between the way great music sounds and the visual qualities of scores that are being played. Although he had not been taught to read music, he was quick to note that the music he most respected and enjoyed also had the more elegant scores.

If you like to choose music to match your mood or perhaps pull you out of one, IBM has created an online tool that will be of interest. The tool called the Glass Engine allows users to surf a selection of Philip Glass works not only by standard categories like work title and year, but also by more subjective characteristics like joy, sorrow and density. If a selection is too soft, crank up the intensity. This is not an exercise in Artificial Intelligence: Glass' longtime producer and sound designer, Kurt Munkacsi, has assigned values to the tracks.
