Theme and Variations. Instruments of the Orchestra. Musical Elements. Musical Notation - The Method Behind the Music. All music must be written before it can be read, understood, and played by musicians. To do this, a system of notation has been developed that gives musicians the information they need to play music as the composer intended it. Here is a list of topics discussed on this page: The Staff The staff is the basis of written music. Clefs This is the treble staff.

This is the bass (pronounced 'base' ) staff. This is a C clef. The Grand Staff When the bass and treble clef are combined and connected by a brace (left) and lines, they become the grand staff. Measures The vertical lines on the staff mark the measures. Notes Different pitches are named by letters. Notes Written on the Staff Notes are centered on the lines or in the spaces between the lines.

Ledger Lines Ledger lines extend above and below the staff, allowing for higher or lower notes to be shown than would otherwise fit on the staff. The stems of notes on ledger lines extend either up or down towards the middle line. Note Durations Rests. Find out what's your preferred learning style? What's Your Learning Style? Year 8.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo - The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Musical Texture - Types of Musical Texture. Musical texture refers to the number of layers, as well as the type of layers, used in a composition and how these layers are related. Texture may be monophonic, polyphonic or homophonic. Monophonic - Refers to a single melodic line. An example of this is the plainchant or plainsong; a form of medieval church music that involves chanting. Plainchant doesn't use any instrumental accompaniment, instead, it uses words that are sung. Moniot d'Arras was one of the composers who wrote monophonic songs. It was around the year 600 when Pope Gregory the Great (also known as Pope Gregory 1) wanted to compile all the different types of chants into one collection.

This compilation will later be known as Gregorian Chant. Polyphonic - Refers to two or more melodic lines. Homophonic - Refers to a a main melody accompanied by chords. Year 9 Dance Music.
