    MUSIC

    Part I - ELEMENTS OF
    MUSIC
    MUSIC - Is considered to be the universal language of people around the
    world.
    Is the art of organizing and putting together an array of sounds
    into a meaningful, perceptual experience.
    Is an abstract form of art, maybe even the most abstract and
    subjective of all the arts.

    ELEMENTS OF
    MUSIC
    Rhythm: beat, rhythmic pattern, accent, syncopation, time signature

    Beat - is the regular pulse of music where we may count by two’s, three’s, four’s
    and so on.

    Rhythm - on the other hand, is the pattern made by combining different durations of
    sound and silence in music
    ACCENT - are emphases or stress on certain notes within a meter.

    SYNCOPATION – is the accenting of a note which would usually not be accented. It is


    often described as being off beat
    Time Signature – Time signatures in sheet music are used to specify how many
    beats are contained in each measure of music, and which note value is
    equivalent to one beat. In sheet music, vertical black bars called bar lines divide
    the staff into measures. The time signature in music is represented by a set of
    numbers, one on top of the other, resembling a fraction.

    Example:
    Melody: pitch, conjunct, disjunct

    Is a group of pitches used in a coherent pattern or succession.

    Pitch – is the quality of highness and lowness of a sound.

    A melody that rises and falls slowly, with only small pitch changes between one note and
    the next, is conjunct

    A melody that rises and falls quickly, with large intervals between one note and the next, is a
    disjunct melody.
    Tempo and Dynamics: moods, theme

    tempo tells you how slow or fast to play the music.

    Dynamics – is the property of music that deals with its loudness or softness (volume).
    Harmony and Texture: chords, how harmony is designed

    Harmony – is that event in which two or more pitches, or notes, sound simultaneously.

    Chords - a device in harmony where two or three pitches are sounded together.

    Texture - in music, refers to the various layers of melodic lines and sounds happening
    simultaneously in a composition.

    Monophonic texture consists of one layer: a single unaccompanied melody.

    Polyphony is the type of musical texture consisting of two or more


    simultaneous lines of independent melody.
    Polyphonic texture is formed when harmony is formed by interweaving sounds that come
    from various directions that do not necessarily synchronizes in the rhythm or lyrics of the
    main melody, but still maintains harmony that vertically agrees with the chord progression.

    Homophony is a texture in which a primary part is supported by one or more additional


    strands that flesh out harmony. Here, you will notice that vocal harmony is formed based on
    the chord progression designed for this song.
    Form: unitary, binary, melodic, rhythmic/recitative

    Form – is a musical work’s shape, structure, and the organized arrangements of its elements
    – and how these elements are manipulated so that the work makes sense.

    a. The Unitary form limits the form of music style to only one and repeats the
    motif and rhythmic pattern all throughout the song. Example of this is the famous
    Tagalog folk song, “Sitsiritsit”
    b. The Binary form comes in two different musical styles which may be represented by A and B. Elements
    of repetition may be followed as in AABB.
    Timbre – quality of sound or the tone color of a song

    Is the quality of notes we hear in music, dependent on the instruments, voices, and the
    method of how these instruments and voices are played/manipulated.
