1 Test Bank for Listening to Western Music 7th Edition by Wright Link full download: CHAPTER 2 RHYTHM, MELODY, HARMONY LECTURE IDEAS HARMONY BEAT In order to help students differentiate between rhythm and beat, ask them to try tapping a rhythm pattern with their foot. They will immediately realize our natural perception of beat, and that it is different from shifting rhythmic patterns. Have them practice finding the beat with the following examples. Vivaldi, Concerto in E major, I The Spring (CD 1/25) 1 Mozart, Symphony No. 40, I (CD 2/15) Musorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition, Promenade (CD 3/22) METER This is a difficult concept for students without a musical background. Teach them the conducting patterns for duple and triple meter and have the class practice with a few examples. They should observe the following routine: Establish the beat before determining the metrical structure. Listen for the accented note, which will identify the downbeat. They should pay particular attention to the bass, since it often accentuates the downbeat. Conduct the patterns. (It is sometimes helpful, once the correct pattern has been established, to show how odd it feels to conduct a duple meter composition with a ternary pattern.) When going over the examples below, make certain that students write down the examples for review at a later point in time. If they will be responsible for identifying the metrical structure of listening examples on an exam, it is best to let them know at this point in time. Duple examples Vivaldi, Concerto in E major, I The Spring, (CD 1/25) Mozart, Eine kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music), I (CD 2/8) Copland, Appalachian Spring, VII (CD 5/21)

2 Triple examples Handel, Water Music, Minuet and Trio (CD 2/3) Bach, Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Awake, A Voice is Calling), I (CD 1/30) Josquin, Ave Maria (CD 1/9; 2:26-3:00) Verdi, Un di felice from La Traviata (CD 4/7) SYNCOPATION There are numerous examples in the CD set, including the following: Machaut, Kyrie from Messe de Nostre Dame (CD 1/4; 0:18-0:20) Mozart, Eine kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music), III (CD 2/11) Haydn, Symphony No. 94, II (Intro CD/23; 4:22-5:11) Brahms, Wiegenlied (Lullaby) (in accompaniment, Intro CD/20) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Listen to the third movement of Haydn s Symphony No. 94, the Surprise (CD 2/12; 0:00-0:34). What is the meter of this example? Is it the melody, the bass line, or the two together that accent the downbeats? Compare it with Viderunt omnes (CD 1/1). Is there a metrical structure to this latter composition or is it simply a succession of beats? 2. Listen while Alfredo sings the opening section of Un di felice from La traviata (CD 4/7). Is the meter regular while the tempo is treated with great flexibility or is the tempo regular while the number of beats per measure constantly change? MELODY For a comparison between major and minor, have students listen to the third and fourth ritornello sections in Vivaldi s Spring Concerto (CD 1/25). While the third ritornello is in B major and the fourth in C# minor, the violin line offers a pretty clear distinction in the mode. In addition to Beethoven s Ode to Joy, antecedent and consequent phrases can also be heard in the first theme of Mozart s A Little Night Music (I; CD 2/8 0:00-0:30). Phrase a and c are subdivided into antecedent and consequent phrases while phrase c also functions as a consequent to the antecedent phrase b. This is an interesting example of a phrase serving a dual purpose: the subdivided phrases balance the structure of phrase a while matching the weight of phrase b.

3 Play the following passages and have students determine whether the melodies are diatonic or chromatic. They may not be able verbalize their reason but may nevertheless be able to determine the correct answer. Haydn, Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra in E-flat major, III (CD 2/14) Bizet, Carmen, Habanera (CD 4/17) Debussy, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun (CD 5/6, 0:00-0:57) Copland, Appalachian Spring, VII, (CD 5/21 1:00-1:40) Students may also find it intriguing to determine the emotional mood of different melodies and what the music does to establish that mood. They need to consider aspects such as tempo, rhythm, timbre, etc. Some of the following selections offer vivid contrasts: Handel, He shall feed his flock from Messiah (CD 2/5) Bach, Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, I (CD 1/27) Tchaikovsky, Romeo and Juliet, Love Theme (CD 3/20; 2:58-3:53) Musorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition, Great Gate of Kiev (CD 4/1) Bizet, Carmen, Habanera (CD 4/17) Wagner, Die Walküre, Ride of the Valkyries (CD 4/13) HARMONY This topic of harmony can quickly become needlessly complex. Students should be familiar, however, with the basic concept of consonance and dissonance. Emphasize that perceptions have changed over time and that many cultures have unique ideas of what sounds pleasing or harsh. Some students confuse consonance and dissonance with good and bad sounds. They need to realize that dissonance provides momentum while consonance gives a sense of rest. The manner in which a composer treats these two opposing sounds often provides a clue to his or her musical style. Schubert s Erlkönig (The Elf King) (CD 3/14) offers a contrast between chordal and arpeggiated accompaniment, although in this particular recording it is so rushed that students may have difficulty in perceiving the difference. (This song also demonstrates the contrast between major and minor). For an example of a composition featuring nothing but arpeggiated chords, play Bach s Prelude in C Major from WTC I. To illustrate different tonal centers, play the ritornello sections of Vivaldi s Spring Concerto (CD 1/25). Note that for the first two ritornello statements, the key is the same. The third statement is on the dominant, the fourth occurs on the sixth degree of the scale, while the last two return to the tonic. The process of modulation occurs during the intervening solo sections.

Provide a brief definition of syncopation. [placing the accent on either a weak beat or between beats] 2. What makes the octave sound like the duplication of an earlier pitch, but at a higher or lower level? [the vibrations, or cycles per second are twice as fast for a note an octave higher or half the speed for a note an octave lower]

20 3. What is the purpose of the clef sign? [to indicate the range of pitch that is notated on the staff] 4. What effect does the notational symbols of sharp and flat have on a pitch?

What mood or feeling is often associated with the major scale? [generally bright, cheery, and more optimistic] 7. What are the three meanings that can apply to the word harmony? [pleasant sounding; accompanied; specific chords used to accompany the melody] 8. Why is listening to the bass line helpful in listening to harmony? [chords are often built on the notes in the bass, and changing pitches in that line often signal a change in chords] ESSAY 1. Choose two compositions (popular or classical). One work should emphasize rhythm, while in the other it should not be a predominant characteristic. Compare the effect rhythm has on your perception of the two examples. [Answers may vary] 2. All musical cultures, Western and non-western, make use the octave. Do they all use it in the same manner or are there differences? Explain. [Pitches within the octave are divided differently: many Chinese use a pentatonic melody; some Arabic traditions have fourteen subdivisions; historically Western music has preferred the division into seven pitches, with the eighth the octave]
