Document Summary
How melodies move: conjunct motion: moving primarily by steps and without leaps, disjunct motion: mpoving by leaps rather than by step, melodies often combine conjunct and disjunct motion, but one style typically predminates. Sounds complete: cadence: the concluding part of a musical phrase. Rhythm: organization comes from the text - the text is the important thing, not the music. It is about the primacy of the text. Antecedent - one incomplete and the other completes. Minor key: harmony, supports and (affectively) compliments the melody, chord: a group of two or more pitches that sound at the same time, triad: the basic chord in music, consist of three pitches arranged in a specific way. Saxophones, and then when the singers come in - same chords, just adding voices and different instrumentation. Chords don"t change - bass player arpeggiates the chord - greater sense of forward motion. Holds v for an extra bar - creates anticipation.
