| scientific pitch notation | Octave designation. System to label exact notes. Starts on C. C4 is middle C. |
| System | Group of staffs or staves. Bracket together like voices (horns, etc.) |
| types of dication: | rhythmic, melodic, harmonic |
| Grande Staff | Combination of treble and bass staves, bracketed together. Most commonly used to notate piano music. |
| What does a double barline represent? | The end of a section, phrase, key, etc. |
| What is a final barline? | A double barline where the second line is thick. Represents the end of a piece. |
| What is a breve? | A double whole note. Receives 8 counts. Can be seen in 4/2. |
| What do tacet and "tacet 1x" mean? | Do not play that section or do not play the FIRST time. |
| What are intervals? | Describe sonic space between two notes. |
| What is the class of an interval? | A number. The actual space between the notes. |
| What is the quality of an interval? | Describes its holistic function. Major, minor, perfect, augmented, or diminished |
| What is a compound interval? | An interval bigger than an octave |
| What is this for? "^" | The symbol, called a "caret," is used to label scaled degrees. |
| What is the major scale pattern? | WWHWWWH |
| What is inverting an interval? | Changing the note in the bass. |
| What do inverted intervals add up to? | 9 |
| What are perfect intervals? | They have no pull in either direction. Only fourths and fifths can be perfect. |
| Diatonic | notes that occur naturally in a key. (7 notes in each key) |
| Chromatic | notes that do not occur naturally in a key. (5 notes in each key). Are not based off pitch center |
| What are diatonic intervals? | All intervals in the scale |
| define "intervallic" and "intervallic relationship" | Intervallic means pertaining to an interval in any sense. Intervallic relationship is the relationship between two notes in terms of distance. These are dinner party words and are probably useless. |
| Tonic | name of a key, note ^1, pitch center, do |
| tonicization | "Getting you into the key." Playing a bell tone or a piano introduction. Playing a certain chord progression gives you an expectation of what will come next and heightens your awareness of important notes in a song. |
| What are melodic intervals? | two ntoes played in succession |
| What are harmonic intervals? | two notes sounded together |
| enharmonic | two notes sound the same but look different |
| key signatures do what | make things easier to read and tell us which notes are important |
| Keys next to each other on the circle of fifths share a lot of what? | Because they are closely related, they share a lot (4) of the same chords. |
| What is the order of flats? | BEADGCF |
| What is the order of sharps? | FCGDAEB |
| jazz | cheesecake, enclosures, closer than you think, mamacita |
| What qualities can unisons have? | perfect, augmented |
| What are modes?? | types of scales. there are seven common modes |
| Ionian | Major scale |
| Aeolian | Natural Minor scale |
| What is the pattern for natural minor scales? | WHWWHWW |
| Harmonic minor? | Aladdin. Don't flat ^7. Better for harmonies. Keep the half step between ^7 an ^8 to keep Leading Tone and pull to ^8. |
| Melodic minor??????? | Different up (flat ^3) vs down (just play natural minor: flat ^3, ^6, & ^7.) The bane of my existance |
| Relative minor | same key signature, different tonic |
| parallel minor | same tonic, different key signature. Add three flats to the major key (^3, ^6, ^7) |
| What era of music does this class focus on? | Baroque and early classical, dabble in romantic |
| Diminution (rhythmic) | making notes shorter |
| Augmentation (rhythmic) | making notes longer. Ex. ties and dots |
| Compound meter | Macrobeat is divisible by three. Usually a 6, 9, 12, 15 on top |
| Simple Meter | not compound. Usually 2 or 4 on bottom. |
| Meter | Time signature |
| Asymmetrical meter | both simple and compound. Combo of macrobeats. Some divisible by three, some divisible by two. Usually 5, 7, 11 on top. |
| tuplet | superimposing an unnatural rhythm on top of a time signature. (a triplet in 4/4) |
| penultimate measure | measure second to last |
| top number of a time signature | # of beats per measure |
| bottom number of a time signature | note value of each beat |
| anacrusis | pickup |
| duple meter | time signature with two beats per measure. Strong, weak |
| triple meter | time signature with three beats per measure. Strong, weak, weak |
| quadruple meter | time signature with four beats per measure. Strongest, weak, strong, weak |
| What is beat hierarchy and what does it depend on? | I think it's like which beats are accented but womp womp I'm not sure. In any case, it depends on the type of music, time period and the country. For example, in Tango, the strong beats are 1&4, which is not typical. In jazz and most pop, they are 2&4. |
| syncopation | accent off the beat |
| half steps for a u | 0 |
| half steps for a m2 | 1 |
| half steps for a M2 | 2 |
| half steps for a m3 | 3 |
| half steps for a M3 | 4 |
| half steps for a P4 | 5 |
| half steps for a A4 or d5 | 6 |
| half steps for a P5 | 7 |
| half steps for a m6 | 8 |
| half steps for a M6 | 9 |
| half steps for a m7 | 10 |
| half steps for a M7 | 11 |
| half steps for a P8 | 12 |
