SOUND – OF MUSIC IS THE RESULT OF THE VOICES AND/OR INSTRUMENTS
USED, THE TEXTURE OF THE MUSIC, AND THE EFFECTS OF DYNAMICS.
TEXTURE IS THE BROAD MUSICAL TERM THAT REFERS TO THE WAY THE
MELODIC, RHYTHMIC AND HAMONIC MATERIALS OF A COMPOSITION ARE
WOVEN TOGETHER.

HARMONY – IS THE STUDY OF TONES SOUNDING TOGETHER AND REFERS
TO THE VERTICAL DIMENSION OF MUSIC. THE STUDY OF THE HARMONY
OF A COMPOSITION INCLUDES HARMONIC PATTERNS, HARMONIC
PROGRESSION, HARMONIC RHYTHM, THE TONAL KEY OR KEYS
ESTABLISHED, AND THE HARMONIC ELABORATION – THE WAY IN WHICH
HARMONY IS SUSTAINED.

MELODY IN A COMPOSITION INCLUDES 1. THE PROMINENT MELODIC
LINES AND THE REPETION AND VARIATION OF THES MELODIC LINES
THROUGHOUT THE COMPOSITION. 2. THE RANGE AND CONTOUR OF
MELODIC MATERIAL. 3. THE PHRASE STRUCTURE OF THE MELODIC LINES.
4. THE SCALE BASIS FOR MELODIC MATERIALS. 5. THE RELATIONSHIP
AND RELATIVE PROMINANCE OF THE VARIOUS MELODIC IDEAS THAT
MAY APPEAR TOGETHER IN A COMPOSITION.

RHYTHM IN A COMPOSITION INCLUDES 1. THE NATURE OF RHYTHMIC
ACTIVITY – PATTERNED OR UNPATTERNED, REGULAR OR IRREGULAR,
SIMPLE OR COMPLEX, REPETITIVE OR NON-REPETITIVE, SUSTAINED OR
SPORADIC 2. TEMPO OR TEMPOS CHANGES – CONSISTANT OR
INCONSISTENT, FAST OR SLOW, MANY OR FEW CHANGES 3. DENSITY OF
RHYTHMIC ACTIVITY AND THE CHANGES IN DENSITY DURING THE
COMPOSITION

GROWTH/FORM – REFERS TO THE LARGER SHAPE OF THE COMPOSITION
AND HOW THE MATERIAL IS CONSTRUCTED AND GROWS FROM
BEGINNING TO END. FORM IN MUSIC IS THE RESULT OF THE INTERACTION
OF SOUND, HARMONY, MELODY AND RHYTHM. CERTAIN FORMAL
PATTERNS RECUR OFTEN ENOUGH IN MUSIC TO BE GIVEN NAMES.
