MUSIC - ART APP

• Music


  From the Greek word "mousike" which means "the art of muse" (is associated with the spirit that gives the poet or composer his ideas and inspiration)
• Music


  The combination and succession of tones following the recognized laws of musical composition
• Music


  The union of pitch, force, quality, and duration arranged according to the laws of melody and harmony
• Music


  • It is the manipulation of three individuals: the composer, instrument maker, and the interpretative musician
• Music


  It is the system of vibrations which must be regular and systematic because without organization, music becomes mere noise (scientist)
• Music


  It is the relationship between the ear and the instrument or voice
• Music


  It as an artful arrangement of sounds across time
• Music


  Our ears interpret these sounds as loud or soft, high or low, rapid and short, or slow and smooth. The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become music.
• 4 Properties of Tone/Sound

  • Pitch
  • Duration
  • Dynamics/intensity
  • Timbre
• Pitch


  It is the highness and lowness of a tone/sound, which is determined by the number of vibration per second.
• Duration


  It is the length of time the tone lasts.
• Dynamics/intensity


  It is the softness or loudness of a sound.
• Timbre


  It is the tone color or quality of sound.
• Rhythm


  The systematic division of musical ideas
• Rhythm


  Any aspect of the rate of the musical flow from its basic meter to the pattern of accents over a whole work
• Parts of rhythm


  • Beat
  • Beat note
  • Accent
  • Meter
• Beat


  The unit of time that is felt and sensed
• Beat note


  A note that coincides with the beat exactly
• Accent


  The stressed beat
• Meter


  The natural grouping of beats, from the Greek word "Metron" which means measure.
• Types of meter


  • Duple
  • Triple
  • Quadruple
• Time signature


  Indicates a particular rhythm to follow in a musical piece. The upper number indicates the number of beats in a measure, the lower number tells the kind of note that receives one beat.
• Types of time signature

  • Simple (one accented beat)
  • Compound (two accented beats)
  • Complex/poly meter (double meter to indicate that two meters are combined or there is a constant change from one meter to the other and back or both)
• Rhythmic Pattern


  The division of beats into pattern of sounds. The rhythmic pattern is indicated by the words and syllables of the words.
• Phrase


  A musical thought that is part of the musical sentence. The first phrase is the antecedent (question), the second phrase is the consequent (answer).
• Non-metric/free


  Freedom from the rigidity of regular accents, such as Gregorian chant which has no measures.
• Irregular rhythm


  An asymmetrical combination of two or more beat groups.
• Syncopation


  A rhythmic technique in which the accent is shifted to a weak beat ("off-the-beat").
• Melody


  A succession of related single tones expressing an idea.
• Melody


  It is the most appealing and attractive to the listener.
• Melody


  It lies on the surface of music.
• 5 Basic Properties of Melody

  • Rhythm
  • Dimension
  • Direction or movement
  • Progression
  • Register
• Rhythm


  Any aspect of the rate of the musical flow from its basic meter to the pattern of accents over a whole work. All melody has rhythm.
• Dimension


  Length and range. Length - melody may be short (motives, figure) or extended. Range - the pitch distance from its lowest to the highest tones.
• Direction or movement


  • Ascending notes (creates a feeling of tension, energy or excitement)
  • Descending notes (creates a feeling of repose, loss of energy, relaxation)
  • Contrary moving notes
  • Repeated notes
• Progression


  Refers to the intervals between tones. Conjunct - notes moved by whole or half steps. Disjunct - moves by thirds, fourths, etc.
• Register


  The relative highness or lowness of the aggregate tones of a melody.
• Modulation


  The shifting of the melody to another closely related keys. Example: Lupang Hinirang.
• Harmony


  The simultaneous sounding of a group of tones with tones of a melody.
• Harmony


  The vertical relationship between a melody and its accompanying chords or between melodies. Harmony maybe light, thin, thick, heavy.
