THE ELEMENTS OF MUSIC

RHYTHM is the repeated movement of sounds through time. In songs, the words usually
match the rhythm. Everything we sing or say has a rhythm. For example, try singing or saying
a lullaby, nursery rhyme, skipping song or rap.

Beat, accent and tempo are all part of rhythm.

 Beat is the regular pulse (the ticking of a clock, the sound of a car's windshield wipers).
 Accent is where the strongest emphasis is placed as in one, two, three, one, two, three.
 Tempo is the speed: how fast or slow the music is.

1. Can you find the beat through clapping? Can you find the accent? What happens
when you change the tempo?

MELODY is the tune. The tune is made up of musical notes or pitches that make up a
pattern. When you add words to a melody, it becomes a song. Notes can be high, low, or in-
between. Their height is called the pitch.

Pitch determines the height of a note in relation to the others around it, which may be higher
or lower.

2. What words would you use to describe the melody or tune of this music?

TIMBRE is what makes one instrument or voice sound different from another.

3. What instruments do you recognize in this music? Why do you think these
instruments were selected?

DYNAMICS refers to how loud or quiet the music is. It can help to tell you about the mood of
the music. Words to describe dynamics are pianissimo (very quiet), piano (quiet), mezzo
piano (medium quiet), mezzo forte (medium loud), forte (loud), fortissimo (very loud).
4. Which of these words or dynamics markings would you assign to the song?

TEXTURE is the layering of instruments and/or voices to create a light or fuller sound.
Melodies, rhythms, and timbres can be combined to create different textures. Music made by
an orchestra is an example of a full texture.

5. What words come to mind regarding this song’s texture (how are melody,
rhythm, timbre combined)?

HARMONY is when you play two or more notes at the same time.

6. Is harmony used in this music? Why do you think the composer chose to use
harmony in this music?

GENRE is the kind (or style) of music (jazz, rock, rap, classical, marches, lullabies, opera, pop,
folk, etc.)
7. How is each kind of music different? Can you give an example for each kind of
music? What type does this music fit into?

COMPARE AND CONTRAST the two given example songs (GLORIA AND THE
MESSIAH). Type the similarities and differences of each in the table below
