    ELEMENTS OF MUSIC

    RHYTHM
    - The pattern of regular or irregular pulses caused in music by
    the occurrence of strong and weak beats. (In everyday language
    this is the “groove”).
    - The variation of the accentuation of sounds over time.
    • The way music is organized in time.
    Aspect of Rhythm
    - Pulse – Steady Recurring Beat.
    - Melodic Rhythm – The rhythm of the melody or words.
    - Meter – Beats organized into recognizable/recurring accent
    patterns.
    Melody
    - A melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm.
    - A series of tones sounding in succession.
    - The way music is organized by pitch.
    - The linear/horizontal presentation of pitch.
    Elements of Melody

    - Pitch– A subjective sensation, reflecting generally the lowness (slower


    wave frequency) or highness (faster wave frequency) of a sound.
    - Dynamics – Refers to the volume of a sound or note, but can also refer
    to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic
    (staccato, legato etc.) or functional (velocity). The term is also applied to
    the written or printed musical notation used to indicate dynamics.
    Timbre

    - The tone of a musical note


    - Also known as tone color.
    - The quality of musical note or sound or tone that distinguishes
    different types of sound production, such as voice and musical
    instruments.
    .

    Harmony

    - The relationship between 2 or more simultaneously sounding


    notes
    - The verticalization of pitch.
    - The way melodies interact with one another .
    Texture

    - The way in which melody, rhythm and harmony are combined


    in a piece of music. What each part/instrument is doing at any
    given point.
    - Refers to the number of individual musical lines
    - And the relationship these lines have to one another.
    Kinds of Texture

    - Monophony – Music with only one note or no accompaniment


    - Homophony – Music with two or more notes sounding at the same time
    or chordal accompaniment.
    - Polyphony – Music with two or more notes sounding at the same time or
    with counterpoint melody.
    Tempo

    -The speed of the pulse


    - The speed or pace of a given piece.
    - A crucial element of any musical composition, as it can affect
    the mood and difficulty of a piece.
    Terms used in Tempo
    - Beats per Minute (BPM) – a unit typically used as a measure of
    tempo in music.
    - Measures per Minute (MPM) – another way to measure the
    speed of music: the number of measures in one minute.
    Form
    - Musical form provides integrity and shape to composition.
    In simpler terms, it’s the main structure of a musical
    composition.
    • Musical form usually denotes either the genre or the
    procedures in a specific work.
    - Refers to the overall structure or plan of a piece of music.
    - It describes the layout of a composition as divided into sections.
    Types of Forms

    - Binary – A musical form in two related sections, both of which


    are usually repeated. It is usually performed as A-A-BB
    - Ternary – A three-part musical form where the first section (A)
    is repeated after the second section (B) ends. It is usually
    schematized as A-B-A.
    - Strophic – The term applied to songs in which all verses or
    stanzas of the text are sung to the same music. (AAA…).
    - Rondo – Has a recurring theme alternating with different
    (usually contrasting) sections called “episodes”. It may be
    asymmetrical (ABACADAEA) or symmetrical (ABACABA).
