Document Summary
Anon, gaude virgo salutara: heterophony the simultaneous statement of two or more different versions of what is essentially the same melody. Martyrs, gaelic psalmody: essentially, everyone is singing their own favourite version of the same hymn all at once. Michael jackson medley, pentatonix: there is a lot of texture but our ear focuses on one main voice. Josquin des prez, tu solus qui facis mirabeilia. Song texture: irving gordon, unforgettable, performed by nat king cole. Both song texture & homophony: beatles, nowhere man. Canon/round all of the lines of melody are exactly the same but begin and end at different times. Aaron copland, appalachian spring, section 5 (1945) The beatles, lucy in the sky with diamonds. Kriti: tempo the speed at which music is performed; the rate at which the regular, basic beats of the metre follow one another. Rubato in performance, the practice of making the established pulse flexible by accelerating and slowing down the tempo.
