HEARING DISSONANT AND CONSONANT

• These two types of sounds work together to create a harmonic narrative.• Too many consonant (stable) sounds make a song shallow.• Too many dissonant (unstable) sounds can lose or irritate

listeners.• Great music mixes the two together and alternates them

back and forth.• Listen to this example- When you hear a dissonant or

unpleasant sound raise your hand.

Page 5: ELEMENTS OF MUSIC A FURTHER LOOK INTO HOW MUSIC WORKS

ARTICULATION• This is the diction of music performance.• In order to contrast with one another, performers must be

creative and have a variety or ways to start and end notes.• If you were acting in a play, how would you create these

impressions for the audience in the voice of your character? How would you create these musical illusions using articulations?• Power, grace, momentum, shocking, stable, mysterious

• Let’s listen to a range of articulations.

Page 6: ELEMENTS OF MUSIC A FURTHER LOOK INTO HOW MUSIC WORKS

PHRASING•Phrasing is the shaping and grouping of notes into coherent ideas.•Everyone can hear music and recognize great melodies, but fewer listeners can hear detailed phrasing created by the performer.

•Classical musicians record the same pieces by Mozart and others and create a unique performance through phrasing.

Page 7: ELEMENTS OF MUSIC A FURTHER LOOK INTO HOW MUSIC WORKS

PHRASING

•Music v. writing•Articulation v. word•Phrase v. Sentence or paragraph•Song/movement v. Chapter•Album/symphony/set list v. novel

LISTENING COMPARISON

• Compare the articulation and phrasing of these famous cello players all interpreting Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1• Yo-Yo Ma• Mstislav Rostapovich• Mischa Maisky

Page 9: ELEMENTS OF MUSIC A FURTHER LOOK INTO HOW MUSIC WORKS

HARMONY

• When 3 or more notes sound simultaneously, they are called a chord.• There are many types of complex chords, but the 5 primary ones are…

• Major- bright, happy, resolved, stable, triumphant, peaceful• Minor- dark, sad, emotional, melancholy, defeated• Dominant- moving, aggressive, unstable, waiting, urgent• Diminished- troubled, dangerous, looming, urgent• Augmented- mysterious, spacey, angst, unnatural

• Let’s listen: Can you hear the chord qualities changing in the example?

Page 10: ELEMENTS OF MUSIC A FURTHER LOOK INTO HOW MUSIC WORKS

CHORD PROGRESSIONS

• Think of melodies as characters in our mind and harmony/chord progressions as the tools that set the mood and light the stage.• Without harmony, melodies seem alone.• Without melodies, chord progressions can push the listener into

a personal or introspective mood driven by the chords.• Listen to this chord progression, does the chord progression,

does it change your mood?
