Musical Terms Studying music terminology through the 6 concepts Focus: Tone Colour & Texture Stage 6 Music – Musicology (Interactive Whiteboard) Click on the tabs: ‘Tone Colour’ & ‘Texture’ to explore the concepts’ points of discussion Musical Terms Duration Dynamics & Expressive Techniques Pitch Texture Tone Colour Structure Tone Colour ⌘ Instrumentation Category Ensemble Orchestration Techniques & Effects Quality Instrumentation Points of Discussion Identification of Instruments – e.g. (tenor sax, soprano singer, guitar, drums, didjeridoo etc). • Traditional Instruments • Non-Traditional Instruments • Instruments characteristic of specific genres Back ⌘ Next Ensemble Points of Discussion Ensemble refers to a group of musicians, actors or dancers who perform together. The group can consist of 3 or more people. There are various types of ensembles: • • • • Trios Quartets String Ensemble Orchestral Ensemble Back • Rock Band • Traditional/NonTraditional Ensembles ⌘ Next Techniques & Effects Points of Discussion Mute; glissando; double stopping; flutter tonguing; pizzicato; harmonics; vibrato; sliding/ bending; virtuosity; dexterity; intonation; ornaments (trill, turn etc, appoggiatura). Back ⌘ Next Category Points of Discussion Category of Instruments • Brass, woodwind, strings, chordophone/electrophone etc; • Traditional Instruments • Non-Traditional Instruments Back ⌘ Next Orchestration Points of Discussion • Roles of Orchestration – Individually and in combination • Orchestral Effects Back ⌘ Next Quality Points of Discussion How an instrument is played – quality of the sound: e.g. Breathy, penetrating, resonant, mellow, majestic, piercing, sonorous, piercing, oily, rich, shrill; harsh Back ⌘ Next Texture ⌘ Texture Definition General Type Layers Level of Activity Role Texture (Definition) Points of Discussion Texture results from the way voices and/or instruments are combined in music (BOSTES, 1999: Music 1 Syllabus). Texture can be divided into three forms: • Layers of sound • The function of each layer of sound • The roles of instruments and/or voices in each layer of sound More… Back ⌘ Next The main aspects to consider when analysing texture: Back to Texture Back ⌘ Next General Type Points of Discussion • Homophonic; polyphonic; monophonic; heterophonic; • Contrapuntal; antiphonal • Number of lines; foreground/background emphasis; opposing/complementary • Solo; accompaniment. Back ⌘ Next Layers Points of Discussion Identify the layers of sound creating the texture. Layers can be separated into the following categories: • Single melodic line • Melody with accompaniment • More than one melodic line • Countermelody • Non-melodic/harmonic lines (e.g. rhythm section or percussion) Back ⌘ Next Level of Activity Points of Discussion Level of activity refers to the identification of layers at once at a certain time: • Sparse/dense • Cluttered; busy; confused; well-defined. • Role Linear dependence/independence; • Harmonic; melodic; Back ⌘ Next Role Points of Discussion Identification of a musician’s or instrument’s part: • Linear dependence/independence • Harmonic; melodic; accompaniment; rhythmic support • Pulse reinforcing; • Countermelodic; • Doubling (unison); backing; open/close harmony Back ⌘ Next Pitch ⌘ Melody Minor Harmony Flat Chord Sharp Tone Scale Octave Key Signature Major ⌘ Dynamics & Expressive Techniques Accelerando Fortissimo Adaigo Legato Allegro Piano Crescendo Pianissimo Decrescendo Staccato Forte Tie Duration ⌘ Beat/Pulse Tempo Metre Note Values/Rhythm Patterns Structure ⌘ Macro Form Unity Micro Form Contrast Repetition
