  1. Bell Ringer – 8/25 • NONE TODAY • Take a few minutes and study for your QUIZ!!! • Elements of Art • Principles of Art

  2. Quiz: Elements of Art • Circle the correct answer • Turn it into the box once complete • NO DEVICES • Once your quiz is turned in you may get them out and work silently

  3. The Elements of Music

  4. ELEMENTS OF MUSIC • Tempo • Rhythm • Melody • Harmony • Dynamics • Timbre • Form We’ll do these later in the week

  5. Beat • A beat is the basic unit of time • NOT an element of music, but the basic pulse • Music can’t exist without it – every piece of music has a beat! • Every beat has a downbeat and an upbeat • Downbeat: the music on the beat • Upbeat: the music in between the beats • Goes with tapping your foot... When your foot hits – downbeat; when your foot is up - upbeat

  6. Element of Music: Tempo • Tempo is how fast or slow the beats go by • In “BPM” – beats per minute • 60 bpm (1 beat per second) • 120 bpm (2 beats per second) • Generally range from 60-240 bpm • Usually marked in Italian • most composers were Italian when tempo markings were first introduced

  7. Tempo – Common Markings • Largo • Very slow • Adagio • Slow • Moderato • Moderate speed / Medium • Allegro • Fast • Presto • Very fast There are 100s of possible tempo markings – “Briskly,” “at a walking speed,” etc.

  8. Tempo – where is it? • The tempo marking is always at the START of the music, in the upper left. • If the tempo changes mid piece, the new tempo will appear where it should start, in the upper left. • The CONDUCTOR gives the tempo • Conductor – how fast or slow they move their arms lets the musicians know how fast or slow to play

  9. Tempo Examples • Slow Tempo: • New World Symphony – Mvt. 2 • Dvorak • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ENf4VEhI40 • Fast Tempo: • Overture to Candide • Bernstein • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=422-yb8TXj8

  10. Element of Music: Rhythm • Rhythm is the pattern or placement of sounds in time • Duration of pitches/notes – how long or short a note is played • The organization of sound within the tempo • You can have short rhythms at a slow tempo, or long rhythms at a fast tempo… (I’ll explain this in a second.)

  11. Rhythm • Whole Note = 4 beats • Half Notes = 2 beats • Quarter Note = 1 beat • Eighth Note = ½ beat = 1 beat

  12. Rhythm & Tempo • A half note at tempo = 60 will sound the same as a whole note at tempo =120. • You can have long rhythms at a faster tempo... • Or short rhythms at a slower tempo... • Before you can determine the rhythms, you have to determine the tempo. • Usually listening to the percussion or low voices (bass, tuba, etc.) will help you find the beat • If you can see the conductor, they provide the beat

  13. Rhythm Example • Most percussion instruments ONLY play rhythm (no pitch) – here are a few examples of rhythm by itself • Blast Intermission • Blast! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XuqTipBWss • Brooms • Stomp • http://youtu.be/tZ7aYQtIldg?t=2m15s

  14. Time Signature • Time signature is NOT an element of music, but assists with tempo and rhythm. • The time signature is at the start of each instrument line • The top number lets you know how many beats are in each measure • You don’t need to worry about the bottom number – its more to do with how to play it

  15. Pitch • Pitch is how high or low the instrument plays • NOT an element of music, but the basic part of melody (which is) • Instruments without pitch: percussive instruments such as the snare drum, bass drum (can be pitched), brake drum, tambourine, jingle bells, etc. • These instruments do NOT produce melody – they are rhythmic ONLY

  16. How to Read Pitch There are other clefs – but these are the two most common ones. Treble Clef: HIGHER pitches Bass Clef: LOWER pitches

  17. Element of Music: Melody • Melody is a succession of notes heard as some sort of unit • The combination of pitch and rhythm • The memorable tune • What you sing in your head after you’ve heard a new piece; what you hum down the hallways

  18. Words to Describe Melody • Smooth, connected • Song-like • Aggressive • Accented • Hard-hitting You can describe melody based on what it sounds like, or how it makes you feel.

  19. When Describing Melody • Talk about WHICH INSTRUMENT is performing the melody • “I hear the melody in the trumpets...” • “The flute melody is very sincere...”

  20. Melody Examples • Nutcracker Suite – 3 “Sugar Plum Fairy” • Tchaikovsky • http://youtu.be/Ow4t3C_gCCY?t=15s • The Ride of the Valkyrie • Wagner • http://youtu.be/VCmgUDSlAyA?t=35s
