musical elements review sheet

rhythmSyncopation A syncopated rhythm is a rhythm that emphasizes a beat or division of a beat that is not normally emphasized In short what syncopation does is disrupt the

natural rhythmic flow of the music Although it is the consistency of the time signature that makes the musical pattern easy to follow it is syncopation that adds interest to the music taking away what could otherwise become boring

Polyrhythms Polyrhythms occur when two or more different rhythms are played at the same time

Rhythmic Ostinato A rhythmic ostinato pattern is a repetitive rhythm pattern that is heard throughout a piece of music This can be a one measure pattern or an entire phrase

articulationLegato Legato is a musical term that means played smoothly without any separation

between notes

Staccato Staccato is a musical term that means the opposite of legato Staccato re-quires that successive notes are played in shortened or detached fashion

dynamics a piano (p) soft b mezzo piano () medium soft

c mezzo forte () medium loud

d forte () loud

e sforzando () forced or accented and loud

f crescendo (lt) gradually get louder

g decrescendo (gt) gradually get softer

Texture

Monophony Monophonic music is based on a single melody line without an accompani-ment

Homophony Homophonic music resembles monophonic music in that it has a single melody line but with accompaniment

Polyphony Polyphonic music consists of several melody lines played at the same time
