Introduction and History
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 2
The arts of music, drama, and public discourse have
both influenced and been influenced by the acoustics
and architecture of their presentation environments.
It is theorized that African music and dance evolved
a highly complex rhythmic character rather than the
melodic line of early European music due, in part,
to its being performed outdoors.

GREEK AND ROMAN PERIOD (650BC-AD400)
The origin of music, beginning with some primeval song around
Ancient campfire, is impossible to date. There is evidence tosuggest that instruments existed as early as 13000 BC. The
understanding of music and consonance dates back at least
To 3000 BC, when the Chinese philosopher Fohi wrote two
Monographs on the subject.

GREEKS
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 4
The Greeks due to their democratic form of government
Built some of the earliest outdoor amphitheaters.
The seating plan was in the shape of a segment of a
circle, slightly more than 180 degrees, often on the
side of a hill facing the sea.
Example: Greco-Hellenistic theater built at Epidaurus
In the northeastern Peloponnese in 330 BC. The
Slope is 2:1, with 17000 seats

ROMANS
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 6
Followed Greek seating pattern.
Limited seating arc to 180 degrees.
They added: stagehouse behind the actors, raised
acting area, and hung awnings overhead to shadeThe patrons.
The chorus spoke from a hard-surfaced circle (orchestra)
At the center of the audience.
Romans were better engineers than Greeks, and due toTheir development of arch and vault, were not limited
To building these structures on the natural hillsides.

EARLY CHRISTIAN PERIOD (AD 400-800)
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 8
This period is dated from Roman emperor Constantine
To the coronation of Charlemane in 800.
Example: the basilican church of St. Peter in 330

Architectural features: domed roof to cover square
or polygonal floor plans. This form was combined
with classical Greek columns supporting the upper
walls with a series of roof arches.Example: St. Sophia (532-537) Hagia Sophia, or
Divine wisdom in Constantinople.

ROMANESQUE PERIOD (800-1100)
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 12
Romanesque style is characterized by rounded arches
and domed ceilings that developed from the spherical
Shape of the east into vaulted structures in the west.
The narrow upper windows, used in Italy to limit sunlight
Lead to larger openings in the north to allow the light,
And the flat roofs of the south were sharped in the north
To throw off rain and snow.
They are massive structures until the introduction of
Buttresses, which allowed the walls to be lightened.
Construction materials were brick and stone and pottery.

BAROQUE PERIOD (1600-1750)
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 18
30 years war (1618-1648)- weakening of Hapsburg empire
And rise of France.
Italy became a center of art and music.
In northern Italy a style, which became as the Baroque (afterthe Portuguese barocco, a term meaning a distorted pearl
of irregular shape), grew out of the work of a group of
Flouentine scholars and musicians known as the Camerata
(from the Italian camera, or chamber).
Construction of Baroque theaters.Construction of Italian Opera Houses.

CLASSICAL PERIOD (1750-1825)
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 20
Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Voltaire reacted to social
Conditions and establish universal right of man.
Classical music by Bachs son, Joseph Hyden, Mozart,
and Beethoven. They composed pieces with formalConcert hall performance in mind.
In London Hanover Square Room was built and Hyden
Conducted his London Symphonies in it.

At that time the center of music was shifted from
Italy to London, Paris, Mannhein, Berlin, and Vienna.
Concert halls in these cities were available
To composers from all nationalities.
In Italy, opera was the cultural center of the world and
Opera-house design had developed slowly over two
Centuries. In 1778 La Scalla opened in Milan.

ROMANTIC PERIOD (1825-1900)
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 26
Romantic music is more personal, emotional, and poetic
Than the Classical and less constrained by a formal style.
The Romantic composers wanted to describe thoughts,
Feelings, and impressions with music, sometimes evenWriting music as a symphonic poem or other program to
Tell a story.
As musical instruments increased in loudness they could
Be heard by larger audiences, which in turn encouragedLarger concert halls and the use of full orchestra.

WAGNERS OPERA HOUSE
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 27
Wagners Opera House was built in 1876 in Germany
The Festspielhaus in Bayreuth.
It was the first theater to be built in close cooperation
Between the composer and the architect.The auditorium is rectangular but it contains a
fan-shaped seating area.

MODERN ACOUSTICS
Dr Hani Obeid - Applied Sciences University 30
The nineteenth century produced the beginnings of the
Study of acoustics as a science and its dissemination in the
Published literature via technical books and journal.
Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) published his book
Sensations of Tone in 1860, thus established acousticsAs science.
In 1877 John W. Strutt, Lord Rayleigh published the first of
His two volume set, Theory of Sound.
In 1874 Siemens patented the moving coil transducer,which led to todays loudspeaker.
* Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

In 1877 thomas Edison invented the phonograph,and in 1891 invented a motion picture.
In early twentieth century, the theorical beginnings
of architectural acoustics were started by W.C. Sabine.
He started his work to solve difficulties in the then new
Fogg Art Museum auditorium. This led to a well-known
Formula called Sabine Formula for the calculation of
Reverberation Time.

If
By definition:
Where: N = antilog
b = baseX = logarithm
The followings are valid:

Logarithm to base 10 is called common logarithm
Logarithm to base is called natural logarithm.
By definition the dB always describes a ratio of
Two quantities that are most often related to power

Sound intensity
61
The intensity I, of a sound wave is defined as the meanValue of the acoustic energy which crosses a unit area
Perpendicular to the direction of propagation in unit time.
c is characteristic impedance of sound, unit
is Rayl and is equal to 410 Rayl for air.
