Document Summary
Horizontal aspects of pitch -- range, contour, motion, ornamentation, phrasing, motive, word painting. Listening materials: anon. , gaude virgo salutata anonymous music (don"t know who compose it) (also called plainchant, plainsong, gregorian chant) Narrow range of human voice (only 5 pitches), Conjunct (the pitches are very close to each other), Phrasing: have repetition but some phrases are longer, so fairly regular phrasing because there are some variations: somewhere over the rainbow. Contour: have a huge leap in the beginning of line. The first overtone above the fundamental produce an octave. Disjunct motion follow by some conjunct motions. Symmetrical and regular phrasing know when to stop and start. Rainbow, way up high, sky, (cid:862)why oh why can"t i(cid:863) reflected by the big leap ups word painting (mimic of asking the question as it sounds similar to one saying this question in language) Conjunct and disjunct motion little leaps and steps) Ornamentation at the end of the larger music line.
