Document Summary
Smaller group of singers than a chorus, church. 1-2 dozen players, each player to a part. Keeps the players tempo and interpenetrates the music. Sound produced from a vibrating string stretched between 2 points: string instruments. Sound is produced from the substance itself: bells/ cymbals. Drum-type instruments: sound produced from tightly stretched membranes. Major/minor scale, first note of the scale is the tonic, make up an octave that are a second apart. (doesn"t use all 12 available notes). Makes up most of western music, not as common during the. Happy, whole steps between each note except for the half-steps between the 3rd and 4th, and 7th and. Darker, whole steps between each note except for the half-steps between the 2nd and 3rd, and 5th and. Black keys = half, white keys = whole. When a piece of music is changed in the major scale that is needed. (aka, changing the original scale in a piece of music)
