,Notes: Music 6 Introductory Video Script Course Music Lesson Objective Semester A Unit 3 Lesson 6 Lesson 6: The student will learn basic tempo markings in Italian and English in order to understand the predetermined speed of a piece of music, and their effect on the audience. VISUAL <Swirl to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/letters-abc-alphabetjournal-font-451489/> AUDIO How has everything been going? Do you feel that you are becoming stronger in your ability to write scales and play pieces in the Key of C? <Dissolve to image> Today we are going to discuss a new <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/box-design-instrument- vocabulary word that is integral to music. Our new vocab word is tempo. metronome-2451/> <Display as text> <Text: The tempo of a song is simply the speed at which The tempo of a song is simply the speed at which it is played. it is played.> <Fade to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/bubble-caucasianthought-daydream-19329/> Think about the music that you listen to on a daily basis. Is it all the same speed or are some pieces of music different than others? <Fade to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/speed-indicatorspeedometer-433919/> I am willing to bet that the answer is that the speeds vary. <Slide to text> <Text: Musicians and composers change the speeds of music to convey different emotions and thoughts> Musicians and composers change the speeds of music to convey different emotions and thoughts <Dissolve to Image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/fiji-beach-sand-palmtrees-tropics-293826/> For example, if a composer wants to make you feel calm and relaxed so that you think of something like the ocean, the speed would be slow. <Dissolve to Image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/concert-performanceaudience-336695//> On the other hand, if the composer is trying to make you feel amped up or excited, they may use a faster tempo. <Display as text> <Text: Tempos are written at the beginning of a piece of music so that the performer knows how fast or slow to go. > Tempos are written at the beginning of a piece of music so that the performer knows how fast or slow to go. <Slide to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/sign-speed-limit-25miles-road-sign-161176/> This works just like a speed limit sign. States post speed limit signs along the road so that drivers know the appropriate speed at which to drive. <Swirl to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/car-driver-drivingvehicle-407166/> Speed limit signs are noted in miles per hour, mph, because that is the language in which cars tell their drivers how fast they are moving. <Fade to Image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/ruler-centimeter-lengthinstrument-150936/> Because tempo markings speak in music language, we need to know how speed is measured in music. <Slide to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/time-clock-watch-hourevening-425811/> Musicians just like you measure the speed of music by the amount of beats that occur per minute or bpm. <Fade to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/music-note-quartermelody-symbol-27910/> Sometimes this is marked at the beginning of the song by saying that a certain note, typically a quarter note, is equal to a certain number. That number is the beats per minute. <Swirl to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/heartbeat-ekg-ecg-pulseheart-rate-304130/> Your heart rate is also measured in beats per minute. Take a minute and find your pulse. Then count the amount of times you feel it in the course of one minute. <Fade to text> <Text: 70 bpm> The number you counted to would be the bpm for your heart rate. I did the same activity and my heart rate had a tempo of 70 beats in a minute. <Dissolve to text> <Text: Often times, the composer will write some fancy word to tell the tempo.> As convenient as this number is for the performer, it does not always exist. Often times, the composer will write some fancy Italian word to tell the tempo. <Fade to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/class-discussiongirls-study-child-302116/> Let’s talk about some and what they mean. <Dissolve to text> <Text: LENTO: slow> The first one we will talk about is our slowest tempo, which is lento, which translates to slow in English. <Fade to text> <Text: LENTO: about 50 beats per minute> The tempo marking for lento is typically around 50 beats per minute. <Fade to image> < Image: http://pixabay.com/en/sign-speed-limit-25miles-road-sign-161176/> This would be slower than the average heartbeat and could be the equivalent of driving under 25 miles an hour < Swirl to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/yoga-relax-change-bodypeaceful-422196/> Now let’s listen to AN example of how a piece would sound with a lento tempo marking <Narrator pauses for 45 seconds as audio clip is played> <Please play following clip from track 1 from 0:00-0:30> <https://musopen.org/music/1127/cesarfranck/symphony-in-dm/ > <Fade to text> <Text: MODERATO: moderate> The next tempo marking is somewhere more in the middle, which is moderato, and means moderate. This tempo is slightly faster than walking speed. <Display as text> <Text: MODERATO: about 110 beats per minute> Moderato translates to moderate and is roughly 110 beats per minute. <Dissolve to image, display as audio read> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/shoe-feet-laces-bowsjust-chic-376814/> Let’s listen to an example of this. As you listen, try to tap your foot to the beat so you can feel the difference between moderato and lento. <Narrator pauses for 45 seconds as audio clip is played> <Please play following clip from track 3 from 0:00-0:35> <https://musopen.org/music/1076/antonbruckner/string-quintet-wab-112// > <Dissolve to text> <Text: PRESTO: quickly or fast> Did you feel the difference? Now let’s talk about a tempo that is on the fast end of the spectrum, presto <Fade to text> <Text: PRESTO: about 180 beats per minute> Presto translates to quickly and is about 180 beats per minute. <Fade to image, display as audio read> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/headphones-earphonesaudio-mp3-407190/> As I am sure you can imagine, this tempo makes the music fly by! Let’s listen to an example, good luck keeping the beat! <Narrator pauses for 45 seconds as audio clip is played> <Please play following clip from track 1 from 0:00-0:30> <https://musopen.org/music/1038/ludwigvan-beethoven/violin-sonata-no-4-in-amop-23/ > <Swirl to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/number-ad-yellow-colorasphalt-437920/> What did you think? It’s quick isn’t it? In this lesson we only discussed three tempo markings <Slide to text> <Text: Each of the three tempo markings represent slow, moderate, and fast speeds in music> Each of the three tempo markings represents slow, moderate, and fast speeds in music. <Dissolve to image> <Image: http://pixabay.com/en/classical-music-notesmozart-music-245590/> Although we only talked about three, there are many more tempo markings than this, which you will learn about! Good luck in your adventures in music
