MELODY Melody usually single note phrases that is the LEAD of the piece = single notes that add to a recognizable whole

A MELODY HAS START / MIDDLE / END DIRECTION / SHAPE / CONTINUITY UP & DOWN

A MELODY HAS TENSION & RELEASE EXPECTION & ARRIVAL MOVING IN STEPS or LEAPS

A MELODY HAS RANGE = highest & lowest notes used in the melody (highest often called the CLIMAX)

are very important & can make melody unrecognizable Time & Rhythm are very important & can make melody unrecognizable

Legato vs. Staccato Phrases & Sequence Incomplete Cadence vs. Complete Cadence

Associations – standard licks THEMES Re-occuring Elements Pitches Rhythms Melodic shapes Tone Colors Associations – standard licks Quoting

HARMONY To accompany with chords or other, related to the Main Melody but separate. The Backround usually Usually composed second Multiple melodies can be imposed over same harmony Harmony can be changed around original Melody

HARMONY = chords (more than 1 note at a time) how they are constructed Progressions (how they follow 1 another)

Melody usually written 1st & dictates harmony will be harmony can move & change against melody to create new textures Basic Chord vocab. Has remained constant for hundreds of years, but new chord constructs do appear now& then.

CONSONANCE vs. DISSONANCE Consonance = points of arrival, rest, resolution, they sound finished Dissonance = create tension, onward motion towards consonance, considered “active” harshness of dissonant chords is relative to time periods & Style

THE TRIAD( the basic chord) most common type of chords most basic made of only 3 different tones other chords can have 4, 5, 6, and more different notes. notated as Root , 3rd, 5th, stacking on staff

BROKEN CHORDS (Arpeggios) playing of chords (triads) as individual notes in sequence instead of all at the same time.

KEYS Most melody and harmony are built around key centers (scales) Chromatic scale all 12 tones of western octave (movement on keyboard) Key signatures ( sharps and flats to add or take away)

--MAJOR KEYS C major scale (white keys / tetra chord steps in chromatic scale / steps same everywhere just higher or lower) MINOR KEYS --minor scales (sad keys)

Modulation (Changing of keys) ii V I V I IV I Certain Chord Progressions commonly do this in JAZZ ii V I V I IV I Tonic key (key you started in)
