ART APP

• Music


  An auditory art that uses a particular language to know its elements in order to understand the musician's mode or technique of manipulating sounds to create meanings
• Elements of music


  • Rhythm
  • Melody
  • Harmony
  • Tempo
  • Dynamics
  • Timbre
• Rhythm


  • The basic element of music, the beginning of music
  • The variation of length and accentuation of a series of sounds
  • There is rhythm in nature: in the swaying of trees, in the drops of rain and the movement of water waves
• Beat


  The recurrent pulse found in most music, that to which we clap our hands or tap our feet
• Meter


  The arrangement of rhythm in fixed, regular pattern with a uniform number of beats in uniform measures, the way beats are grouped and measured so that some beats receive accent while others do not
• Melody


  The second important element of music, associated with mental motion, the memory element, a succession of tones arranged in a logical meaningful series
• Pitch


  The highness or lowness of sound, determined by the frequency of molecular vibrations
• Rhythm

  • There is rhythm in nature: in the swaying of trees, in the drops of rain and the movement of water waves
• Beat


  The recurrent pulse found in most music
• Meter


  The regular occurrence of accented and unaccented beats
• The beat and the rhythm are not one and the same. The beat is the simple pulse found in almost all music familiar to us while the rhythm is a larger concept, including the beat and everything that happens to sounds in relation to time.
• Melody


  The second important element of music, associated with mental motion, the memory element
• Pitch


  Indicates the highness or lowness of sound and is determined solely by the frequency of molecular vibrations
• Good melody


  • The listener must have a sense of satisfaction, completeness, and feeling of integrity
  • Melodic line must have a sense of continuity – long in flowing, high and low point of interest, and a climactic moment
• Harmony


  The manner of sound combination wherein we add subordinate sounds to enhance the quality of the main sounds
• Chord


  The tonal combination of two or more tones sounded at the same time
• Concord


  The combination or chord seems to produce an impression of agreeableness or resolution to the listener
• Discord or dissonance


  If the combination does not produce an impression of agreeableness or resolution
• Tempo


  The speed of a certain musical piece
• Tempo terms


  • Largo – very slow
  • Adagio- slow and stately
  • Andante- at a walking pace
  • Andantino – alternatively faster or slower than andante
  • Allegreto- moderately fast
  • Allegro – fast
  • Presto – very fast
  • Accelerando – gradually becoming faster
  • Ritardando-gradually becoming slower
• Dynamics


  The amount, strength, or volume of the sound
• Timbre


  Tone quality, helps differentiate one type of voice from another or one instrument from another
• When the elements are organized and combined in such a way that the listener finds the experience rewarding and meaningful, then music is created.

• Good melody


  • The listener must have a sense of satisfaction, completeness, and feeling of integrity
  • Melodic line must have a sense of continuity - long in flowing, high and low point of interest, and a climactic moment (the "la grande ligne")
• Harmony


  The manner of sound combination wherein subordinate sounds are added to enhance the quality of the main sounds, the sounding of a series or group of tones at the same time or simultaneously
• Chord


  The tonal combination of two or more tones sounded at the same time
• Concord


  The combination or chord that seems to produce an impression of agreeableness or resolution to the listener
• Discord or dissonance


  The combination that does not produce an impression of agreeableness or resolution
• Tempo


  The speed of a certain musical piece, measured by the musical notes given half or full values
• Tempo terms


  • Largo - very slow
  • Adagio - slow and stately
  • Andante - at a walking pace
  • Andantino - alternatively faster or slower than andante
  • Allegreto - moderately fast
  • Allegro - fast
  • Presto - very fast
  • Accelerando - gradually becoming faster
  • Ritardando - gradually becoming slower
• Dynamics


  The amount, strength, or volume of the sound, the degree and variations of sonority and force with which the music is played from soft to loud
• Timbre


  Tone quality, the element that helps differentiate one type of voice from another or one instrument from another
