1=What are elements of music.
Elements of Music. Pitch – register (high or low); Organization of
pitches with a pattern of intervals between them creates scales;
Words we might use to describe scales: major/minor, chromatic,
gapped, pentatonic.Melody, or musical line, is a combination
of pitch and rhythm (some say "duration").
2=3 elements of music.
Pitch – register (high or low); Organization of pitches with a
pattern of intervals between them creates scales; Words
we might use to describe scales: major/minor, chromatic,
gapped, pentatonic.
Rhythm – the time element of music. A specific rhythm is a
specific pattern in time; we usually hear these in relation to a
steady pulse, and mentally organize this pulse
or tempo into meter (sometimes
called
a
"time
signature"). Meter organizes beats into groups, usually of
two or three; beats can be divided into small units usually 2,
3 or 4 subdivisions
Melody, or musical line, is a combination of pitch and rhythm
(some say "duration"). Sometimes a melody is considered to
be the theme of a composition. We might characterize
melody by its contour (rising or falling) and the size of the
intervals in it. A melody that uses mostly small intervals (or
scale steps) and is smooth is said to be a conjunct
melody. Not surprisingly, a melody that uses large intervals
is called adisjunct melody. A motif (or motive) is either a
very short melody or a distinctive part of a longer melody. I
might describe the opening four notes of Beethoven's Fifth
Symphony as a "motific cell."
3=What do you understand by “Time signature”? Describe its
importance in a good music.
A time signature, or meter, is a written indicator that shows the
number of beats per measure and the type of note that carries the
beat in a piece of music. The time signature also indicates the feel of a
piece of music based on the divisions of the beat.the importance in
good music is that time signature tells you how many beats to
count which makes the music attractive.
