2 A motif doesn't have to be the same notes, only the same rhythm
The MOTIVE A Motive is a short melodic and/or rhythmic figure that recurs throughout a composition or a section as a unifying element Melodic Motives- Melodic motives are repeated pitch patters. They usually recur with the same or similar rhythmic patters Example: All notes are quarter notes in ¾.Measure1: F E F Second measure: E D E A motif doesn't have to be the same notes, only the same rhythm

3 Tonal Sequence A Tonal Sequence accommodates the diatomic scale, so only diatonic notes of the scale are used. This means that the transposition of the segments may not be exact. ( The half-step and whole-step patterns of the first segment are not reproduced exactly.) All notes are quarter notes in ¾ in the key of D. |E F# F#| C# D F#|

4 Modified Sequence In a modified sequence some of the segments may be decorated or embellished in a way that does not destroy their original character In two measures of 4/4 in the key of F the sequence is F G A. The modified sequence is F G Ab.

5 Sequence A sequence is the immediate restatement of a melodic motive or longer figure in the same instrumental or vocal part at a higher or lower pitch. Each separate unit of the sequence is called a sequence segment. The sequence is one of the most common and basic methods of melodic elaboration found in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Sequence Characteristics A sequence requires at least two segments. Most sequences contain no more than three or four segments. Sequences usually have only one direction—the segments succeed each other at continuingly higher pitches or continuingly lower pitches. Sequence segments usually continue by the same interval distance. As an example, if the first segment begins on C and the next starts with E, then the remainder of the segments will continue in thirds

6 Real Sequence A real sequence contains continuing segments that are an exact transposition of the first segment

7 False Sequence A false sequence repeats part of a figure and states the remainder in sequence– a mixture of sequence and repetition.

8 Phrase A phrase is a substantial musical thought usually ending with a harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic cadence. The presence of a cadence distinguished a phrase from a motive. Phrases are frequently four measures long, but may be longer or shorter. A phrase presents a complete musical thought. Phrase Member Phrases frequently contain slight melodic interruptions and then divide into two Phase Members. They are sufficiently separated, usually by a longer note value or rest, to distinguish them as individual units. Sometimes the second phrase member is either a repeat or sequence of the first; however, it is just as often contrasting. Phrase:

9 Period Parallel Period
Two adjeacent phrases may combine to form a period ifL The second phrase ends with a strong cadence. The first phrase ends with a weaker cadence than the second. The two phraes bear some musical relationship to each other. Often, they will create a antecedent-consequent Parallel Period Two adjacent phrases form a parallel period if they both begin in the same manner. The two phrases may be nearly identical except for the cadences or they may only be similar for a measure or two.

10 Contrasting Period Three-Phrase Period
A contrasting period results when the two phrases are not similar in melodic content. Three-Phrase Period While most periods are composed of just two phrases, those of three do happen. Three phrases may consist of antecedent, antecedent and consequent

11 Double Period(4 Phrases)
The variety of phrase relationships in double periods are too numerous to classify. However, the same principle governing two-phrase periods applies here as well: the fourth phrase must bring the period to closure and should be at least as strong as any of the other three. Repeated Phrases Repeated, whether identical or modified, are not typically regarded as period structures because the second phrase is not dependent on the first. The antecedent-consequent concept doesn't apply

12 Modification of the Phrase
Composers often seek to modify a phrase in one way or another, sometimes to lengthen it and sometimes to provide other forms of variety. Extension of a Phrase An extended phase is one whose length has been increased through the longing of some part of it. Phrases may be extended by a few beats or up to twice their normal length. The extensions may be near the beginning, in the middle, or near the cadence.

13 Melodic Structure Most tonal melodies contain a climax tone. A climax tone is the highest stressed pitch of a phrase or other unit. Usually the climax tone is reached only once. Most phrases contain an ascent to and descent from the climax tone. Many melodic phrases contain significantly placed pitches of the tonic triad.(1,3,5)

14 Renaissance Period Baroque Period Classical Period Romantic Period
The four bar phrase is very common in the mid to late seventeenth century. In the Renaissance Period this was very popular. Baroque Period During the years of 1600 to 1675 the development of phrase and period construction advanced rapidly. Classical Period Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven are the opimity of the Classical period. Romantic Period
