Elements of Music
HU240 Unit 6
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Form | The order and arrangement of the parts of the music |
| Harmony | The sound of two or more notes are heard simultaneously. When housed within a chord, the ear brings them together in the same way the eye perceives movement in a motion picture rather than only seeing one picture at a time. |
| Melody | The aesthetic product of a given succession of pitches in musical time. The melody implies rhythmically ordered movement from pitch to pitch |
| Pitch | A perceptual property of sounds that makes it possible to judge sounds as "higher" and "lower" in the sense associated with musical melodies |
| Rhythm | The basic, repetitive pulse of the music, or a rhythmic pattern that is repeated throughout the music |
| Texture | Determines how the tempo, melodic, and harmonic materials are combined in a musical composition determining the overall quality of the sound in a piece |
| Timbre | The perceived sound quality of a musical note, sound or tone |
| Tonality | The principle of organizing musical compositions around a central note, the tonic. Generally, any Western or non-Western music periodically returning to a central, or focal, tone exhibits tonality |
| Volume | Determines how loud or how soft the music is |
| Music | Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. |
