HUM 145 Chapter Notes - Chapter 14: Tonality, Major Scale, Blues Scale
Document Summary
Music is made up of sound and sound has different physical behaviors. This is what makes the music so dynamic and has a wonderful physical effect, which is later transformed into a psychological and even sentimental or spiritual experience. The sound has pitch, frequency, timbre among other physical characteristics that make its behavior a very interesting phenomenon. The relationship that is created between sounds is also fascinating. In addition, we can play with the time factor, the duration of a sound or sounds. If we take into account all these qualities of sound, we acquire three main elements of music: melody, harmony and rhythm. These, in turn, are related to more elements that we will mention. The melody is when we create a succession of notes with different pitch. In general, terms, the melody of a song or work is what we can sing, hum or whistle.
