� Contemplative activities.

� Relaxation.

� Stimulation.

Music has the ability to influence psychological aspects of behavior both consciously and unconsciously

- Manual and Reception of Sound

Iii requirements for sound to "occur" in an surround:

� A vibrating source to initiate audio

� A medium to transmit sound vibrations throughout the environment - such as air or water.

� A receiver to hear or tape sound vibrations.

Many varieties of vibrating sources in the World:

� Vocal cords

� A membrane of fauna hide or constructed cloth

� A stretched string that is plucked or bowed

� Objects such as wood, stone, dirt, metal and glass that are struck

� Rattling of beads in a pocket-sized enclosure,

� Clapping of easily, singing of birds, grunts and groans of animals

� Buzzing of lips in a pocket-sized resonating tube

� Splitting of an air stream

� Small-scale pieces of reed attached to a tube and ready in motility by the action of human being breath

� Many, many other natural vibrating sources.

� Sound may besides exist produced artificially by electronic synthesis

NOTATION

� Written on paper, so that the music may be performed once more and again.

� Music annotation system

� Enjoyment and agreement of most music is not dependent upon the ability to read and translate written music note.

Tune - (Line, Space)

Melody� A succession of single tones or pitches that are perceived to exist unified.

Characteristics of Melody:

� Pitch� The highness or lowness of a tone, depending on the frequency (rate of vibration)

� Interval� The altitude and relationship betwixt two pitches.

� Range� The distance between the lowest and highest tones of a melody, an instrument, or a voice. (narrow, medium or broad)

� Shape� The direction a melody takes as it turns upwardly or down, or remains static.

� Phrase� As in language, a unit of meaning inside a larger structure; thus, a melody may be divided into component phrases.

� Cadence� A resting place in a musical phrase-musical punctuation.

� Countermelody� An accompanying tune playing against the chief melody.

RHYTHM - (Rhythm, Blueprint, Repetition, Fourth dimension)

Rhythm� The chemical element of time in music.

Characteristics of Rhythm:

� Beat� Regular pulsation; a basic unit of length in musical fourth dimension.

� Accent� Emphasis on a note, so that it is louder or longer than another.

� Tempo� The rate of speed or step of the musical pulse. (grave, largo, adagio, andante, allegro, vivace)

� Measure� A rhythmic group or unit that contains a fixed number of beats, divided on the musical staff by bar lines.

� Meter� The grouping of beats into larger, regular patterns, notated as measures.

� Upbeat� The last beat of a measure, a weak beat, which anticipates the downbeat, the first beat of the adjacent measure out.

� Downbeat� The first beat of a mensurate, the strongest in whatever meter.

� Syncopation� Deliberate upsetting of the meter or pulse through a temporary shifting of the accent to a weak beat, or an offbeat.

Polyrhythmic - The simultaneous use of several rhythmic patterns or meters.

� Nonmetric� Music lacking a strong sense of crush or meter.

HARMONY - (Residue)

Harmony � The simultaneous combination of notes and the ensuing relationships of intervals and chords.

	Case: Mozart, Piano Concerto in C major, K. 467, second movement

Characteristics of Harmony:

� Chord � Simultaneous combination of tones (typically iii or more) that found a single block of harmony.

� Scale � A series of tones or pitches in ascending or descending guild.

� Tonality � The master of organizing a work effectually a central tonic, or home pitch, based on a major or minor scale.

Tonic

Diatonic

Chromatic

Consonance

Dissonance

Drone

TEXTURE - (Texture)

Texture �The interweaving of melodic (horizontal) and harmonic elements in the musical fabric.

Generally described as:

� Monophonic 1 voice/part presents a single melody.

� Heterophonic : Two or more than voices/parts elaborate on the same tune simultaneously.

� Homophonic : principle melody and accompanying harmony.

Example: Mozart, Pianoforte Concerto in C major, Chiliad. 467, 2nd movement

� Polyphonic : two or more than melodies combine into a multi-voiced texture.

Form� The construction or shape of a musical work, based on repetition, contrast, and variation; the organizing principle of music.

� Variation� A principle in which some aspects of the music are altered just still recognizable.

Repetition , variation, and contrast are the foundational procedures on which music limerick rests.

� Theme� A melodic idea used every bit a bones building block in the structure of a composition. There are a variety of means to create thematic development (motive, sequence, ostinato).

Motive�A pocket-size, thematic fragment that constitutes a melodic-rhythmic unit.

Sequence� A restatement of an thought at a higher or lower pitch level.

Ostinato� A short musical pattern � melodic, rhythmic, or harmonic- that is repeated persistently throughout a work or major section of a composition.

In this example, a short (four-note) descending blueprint in the bass is heard throughout under the voices.

� Decrescendo� The dynamic effect of gradually growing softer.
