me blush: Rhythm and Timbre Presented by: Soriano, Angel Mae B. Voces, Rochelle M. Introduction In this lesso, we are going to learn about the last two fundamental elements of music which are Rhythm and Timbre which are equally as important as the first three we had studied so far. Rhythm The word RHYTHM specifically refers to how pitches in music are organized (compressed or elongated) over a consistent beat. Rhythm generally refers to the aspect of time in music. It determines how long or how short a pitch will sound, the employment of time patterns, the length of silences in between notes, and also covers the speed of the music. Beat The time in music can be measured using beats, a beat if defined as a regular, repeating pulse that underlies a musical pattern. However, there are times where beats are not the same as their speeds or intensity. Some beats are stronger and some are weaker beats that is what you called accent A meter is a repeating pattern of strong and weak beats. In music, there are two common types simple meter used: duple and triple meter. Duple meter Triple meter type of meter where beats type of meter where are grouped in twos. The beats are grouped in best example of this is a threes. An example of a march, reflecting the song that uses this movement of our two feet. meter is "Bahay Kubo" Rubato
Tempo rubato, which literally means 'robbed time' – is
the temporary abandonment of strict tempo. It allows the performer to be more flexible with their pace, and they can speed up or slow down to create effect and emphasise certain musical passages. Tempo
- Tempo, speed or pacing of a piece of music, playing an essential role in
performance and acting as the heartbeat of expression. The word tempo, meaning “time” in Italian, is derived from the Latin tempus. Prior to the 17th century, Western classical music rarely made use of tempo markings, since fixed pulse, mensuration, and note values were used to determine tempo. •Larghissimo: extremely slow (24-BPM) •Grave: very slow and solemn Here is a list of the most (25-45 BPM) common Italian tempo markings •Largo: slow and broad (40-60 BPM) along with their beat per minute •Adagio: slow, with great (BPM) equivalents and some expression (60-70 BPM) •Andante: at a walking pace (70 examples of pieces that use •Allegro: fast, quick, and bright these markings: (120-156 BPM) •Vivace: lively and fast (156-168 What are tempo BPM) markings in music? •Presto: very fast (168-200 BPM) •Prestissimo: very, very fast (200+ BPM Timbre Timbre in music is defined as the quality of the sound itself that is produced by the sound waves. The definition of timbre in music is what gives the sounds that are produced a type of color. Timbre is a essentially a set of sound waves that form themselves in a variety of overtones, harmonics, and frequencies. An example of timbre is the tone or color of a voice or an instrument's sound. The timbre of musical instruments, such as a piano playing an A4 note in comparison with a guitar playing the same note, distinguish the difference between the two instruments and how their timbres differ.
