Document Summary
Chord: two or more pitches sounding simultaneously and perceived as a vertical unit- as opposed to a succession of individual pitches sounding one after the other and perceived as a linear unit. (melody) Cosmos: often translated as the universe but encompassing - especially in the medieval world- something far more significant than stars and planets. In the ancient world, the cosmos (greek = kosmos) meant the orderly arrangement of everything in a particular order) Form: the plan or the architectural roadmap, of a piece of music (ie. how the a and b and c sections are arranged in a particular order). Harmony: a chord that exists within a particular harmonic context (i. e. , having a harmonic function). While there may be four beats in a measure, a sound pattern of short-short-short-short = 4 sounds (or) long-short-short = 3 sounds (or) short-short-long= 3 sounds, etc. might be performed within the timespan of those four beats.
