4 elements of music
rhythm, melody, harmony, tone color
Music started with beats of rhythm
We are still unable to pick up on the subte difference added to a performance
When music was first measured it did have even distribution
Measured music started 1150!!!
Much of music was vocal, singing, poetry, chants and tales
Monsieuur Jourdain - help music from it dependance on word, he also had rhythmic structure
of it own and used many voices for his music.
rhythm repeating over and over has a emotional effect, but it can also be monotonous.
variety adds substance to the music and make it more natural
I really like this last paragraph "The lay listener is asked to remember that even the mosy complex rhythms were meant for his ears. They need not be analyzed to be enjoyed. All you need do is to relax, letting do with you what it will."
