Elements of Music

Rhythm – Element of TIME in music. Duration - How long a sound (or silence) lasts. Beat - The beat is the basic unit of time, the pulse. Tempo - The pace of the fundamental beat. Syncopation - An "off-the-beat" sound or accent.

 Meter - Beats organized into recognizable/ recurring accent patterns. Meter can be seen/felt through the standard patterns used by conductors.

 Snare Drum solo  The Washington Post (1889) John Sousa  Waltz No. 2 – From Jazz Suite No. 2 Demitri Shostakovich  Billie Jean  Michael Jackson

Melody - T he presentation of pitch. Many famous musical compositions have a memorable melody or theme. Pitch - The word used to describe the highness or lowness of a musical sound. Disjunct Motion – Music in stepwise motion Conjunct Motion – Music in non-stepwise (jumpy, skipping) motion

 Theme from Schindler’s List Composer: John Williams

Harmony - The VERTICALIZATION of pitch. Often, harmony is thought of as the art of combining pitches into chords (several notes played simultaneously as a "block"). Consonant - a smooth-sounding harmonic combination Dissonant - a harsh-sounding harmonic combination

 Twinkle Twinkle Little Star  Dissonant Music

All musical aspects relating to the relative loudness (or quietness) of music fall under the general element of DYNAMICS.

 If you play a "C" on the piano and then sing that "C", you and the piano have obviously produced the same pitch; however, your voice has a different sound quality than the piano.  Composers use timbre much like painters use colors to evoke certain effects on a canvas.

Texture - Refers to the number of individual musical lines (melodies) and the relationship these lines have to one another. Monophonic Texture – Music with only one note sounding at a time (having no harmony or accompaniment).

Homophonic Texture - Music with two or more notes sounding at a the same time, but generally featuring a prominent melody in the upper part, supported by a less intricate harmonic accompaniment underneath.

 Polyphonic Texture - Music with two or more independent melodies sounding at the same time.

 Little Fugue in G minor ( )  Johann Sebastian Bach

Form - The overall structure or plan of a piece of music. Basic Forms Strophic Form: a design in VOCAL music, in which the same music is used for several different verses (strophes) of words. [Example: "Deck the Halls" has many verses of words sung to the same music.] Verse 1... Verse 2... Verse 3 (etc.) Through-composed: a structure in which there is no repeat or return of any large-scale musical section. A B C D E...

Binary Form: a two-part form in which both main sections are repeated (as indicated in the diagram by "repeat marks"). The basic premise of this form is CONTRAST: Ternary Form a three-part form featuring a return of the initial music after a contrasting section. Symmetry and balance are achieved through this return of material. A B A
