The Complete Musician Chapter 2 Notes:
Pulse, Rhythm, and Meter
undifferentiated clicks= pulses
pulses + differences = beats
tempo = the speed of a beat
meter = FUCK THIS MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER! What exactly is it referring to?
rhythm = ?????
rhythm = ?????
Rhythm and Durational Symbols
“If the notehead appears on or below the third line of any staff the stem points up.”
Rhythmic notation doesn’t indicate duration, rather it indicates the relative duration of each note
ties sustain the first note
phrasing slurs indicate that the notes should be played smoothly, or legato
Meter
A structure that organises beats into patterns of accented and unaccented beats.
These patterns are collected into measures, shown by bar lines.
duple = strong-weak
quadruple = strong-weak-semistrong-weak
Accent in Music
Accents are created by doing something unexpected
upbeat = beat before strongly accented beat = anacrusis
downbeat = strongly accented beat
metrical accent=
temporal accent
rhythmic accent= include durational (agogic) accents
harmonic rhythm = the rate of harmonic change. changing this creates a musical accent.
registral accent = notes which stand out because of their high or low register, standing in contrast to the rest of the piece. high register registral accents are more accented than their low register brothers.
articulative/phenomenal accents = changes in dynamics (how a part is played, eg. loud, sudden, quiet, gradual, shorter/longer, pizzicato etc.
tessitura = the range of something (eg.vocal part) in which it sounds best. In reality it means the common notes found in a piece.
musical texture = mood + tessitura + accompanimental figures (???) + number and general character of voices (density) .
textural change = musical texture change
melodic contour = is the melody going up, down or not going anywhere?
contour accent = change in melodic contour
pitch accent = aka. everyone hates them unstable leading notes
dissonant = unstable musically
asymmetrical meter = meters with dotted and undotted notes, simple and complex key signatures
triplets, quintuplets, septuplets are all really confusing and make no sense right now
two against three = triplets within cut time
man syncopation is fucking confusing hemiola too
accent = something which changes the way a note sounds in practice
durational accent = staccato/legato
metrical accent = within the measure, e.g. downbeats
rhythmic accent = ???
nontemporal accent = not related to tempo, e.g. harmonic accent, articulative accent, etc.
articulative accent = change the way it's played
contour accent = up/down/neither
dynamic accent = LOUD/quiet
harmonic accent = self explanatory
pitch accent = strange pitch properties
registral accent = too high/low
textural accent = 'ooh this sounds different'
accented vs unaccented = one is more prominent, the other is not
anacrusis = the note before the downbeat
bar line = the end of a measure and the beginning of a new one
beam = a line which connects eighth or smaller notes
beat = the most basic rhythmic unit
borrowed divisions
irregular
common time = 4 4
cut time (alla breve) = 2 2
downbeat = the one before that
upbeat = 1st beat (strongest metrical accent)
dot = *1.5
durational values:
whole = 1
half = 1/2
quarter = 1/4
eighth = 1/8
sixteenth = 1/16
thirty-second= 1/32
flag = that thing on eighth notes and the others
harmonic rhythm = how fast the harmony is changing
hemiola
measure = the beats within the bars
meter =
simple vs compound = simple meters have a beat unit that is divisible evenly in to two simple units, compound into three.
simple duple = S w
simple triple = S w w
simple quadruple = S w w w
compound duple = same, but with compound beat units
compound triple = see above
compound quadruple = see above
asymmetrical meter = simple + compound
meter signature = 4 4, 2 3, 7 8 etc.
musical patterning = ????
notehead = the head of a note
phrasing slur = notes are played smoothly in one articulation
pulse = beat without rhythm
rhythm = ???
stem = the tail/neck of a note
syncopation = ???
tempo = time.
tie = a way of connecting two notes with the same pitch across a bar
articulative/phenomenal accents = changes in dynamics (how a part is played, eg. loud, sudden, quiet, gradual, shorter/longer, pizzicato etc.
tessitura = the range of something (eg.vocal part) in which it sounds best. In reality it means the common notes found in a piece.
musical texture = mood + tessitura + accompanimental figures (???) + number and general character of voices (density) .
