Try to tap your hand using your finger to the rhythm of the song. What is the tempo like? Is it slow, medium or quick? 2. Guess the tempo of the song with a metronome. Dance 1: Dance 2: Dance 3: Dance 4: 3. Now compare your answer with your partner s answer. Expressions to use: In the first song the tempo was... (slow/medium/quick) The second song was...

The tempo can be quick, slow, medium, very slow and so on. Reading and writing Metronome We write music on a score. The signs that indicate what each instrument must play are notes. 5 We read the notes on the score.

7 Blues Blues was born in the south of The United States. It originated from the songs that the slaves, who came from Africa, sang while working. In these songs, somebody sang a sentence (question) that was later repeated by the group (answer). Rural blues came about from this type of singing at the end of the 19 th century. The singer usually played the guitar or the banjo and he sometimes played the piano or the harmonica too. The answer disappeared in this type of blues. In the 20 s and 30 s, a lot of blues performers immigrated to Chicago and urban blues was born there. It was performed by a vocalist and a group of musicians that played the drums, the bass and the guitar. They improvised while singing. This was the beginning of popular urban music which later spread around the world. B l u e s m a n Listen to: Sweet home Chicago : Bars or measures. When you listen to music, you can hear a regular beat. Beats are organized in groups of the same number and they are called bars or measures. The first beat of a bar is always stronger than the rest. If the strong beat comes each four beats then the music you are listening to has got four beats in every bar. Twelve-bar blues The 12-bar blues (or blues changes) is one of the most popular chord progressions in popular music, including blues. In each 12 bars, the chords are repeated over and over.

Qualities of sound Pitch makes it possible to know if a sound is or. We see if the notes are high or low on the staff. Duration is the length of a sound or a silence ( or ). By using the different notes and rests we know the duration. Intensity makes it possible to know how or a sound is. We write this on the score with dynamic indications and hairpins.

11 A Brief History of the birth of Jazz When people from West African tribes were taken to the New World in chains, they carried their music and traditions with them. Many slaveholders did not permit the slaves to speak to each other, so the only way they had to communicate was singing. Slaves also sang soulful songs called "spirituals" to express their religious beliefs, feelings and desire for freedom. Later, in the 1890s blues emerged from these traditions. Many Europeans immigrated to American cities looking for fortune in the New World. These Europeans, with their musical traditions combined European compositional styles with the rhythmic and melodic music that the black community loved. The name of this new music was "ragtime." In the 1890's, ragtime was popular in New Orleans (Missouri). African American musicians mixed European traditions with the blues, ragtime, marching band music and many other elements to create a new style of music known as "jazz." 1. How did the slaves communicate to each other? a) Playing instruments. b) Singing songs. c) Dancing and praying. 2. What kinds of songs are spirituals? a) Slaves sang spirituals to transmit their secret messages through lyrics. b) Spirituals are religious and soulful songs. c) Spirituals are work songs. 11

What is ragtime? a) Music that European musicians played in the United States. b) Music that combined European compositional style with black music. c) The name of new music. 5. What type of music did jazz mix? a) Jazz is a mix of American and European folk music. b) Jazz is a mix of blues, marching band music, ragtime and European tradition. c) Jazz is traditional European music. Refresh your ideas 1. Match the word with the correct sentence. Sound Silence Frequency Number of waves of a sound. The absence of sound. The vibration of an object. 2.

How many instruments, including the voice, did you listen to? b. Does this song have a clear beat? Try to follow it. Are there any moments of silence in the voice? 12

13 UNIT 3: MUSICAL FORM Thinking about music: musical form The structure or musical forms of songs in popular music are typically sectional, repeating forms. These are the principal elements of a song: Introduction. The introduction is a unique piece that comes at the beginning. Verse. When two or more sections of the song have basically identical music but different lyrics, each section is considered one verse. Chorus. The chorus is the element of the song that is repeated at least once both musically and lyrically. Bridge. In song writing, a bridge is an interlude that connects two parts of a song and creates a harmonic connection between those parts. Solo. A part of the composition for one performer, with or without accompaniment. 1. Listen to Highway to Hell by AC/DC, and try to answer the following questions: - How many different parts has it got? Write the name of each part in the spaces below (verse, chorus, introduction...) and the order in which they appear. 1) INTRODUCTION 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) SOLO 7). - Are the parts repeated in the song? How often? 2. Now, listen to the song one more time, and complete the lyrics on page

14 Rhythm and Blues (R&B) Rhythm and Blues is a style of black popular music that started in the 40 s. It came from jump blues, but it had less improvisations and the melody played an important part. The bands had brass sections and a saxophone or a solo guitar was often used too. R&B became so popular that even the white population started to buy their records. This had never happened before. Everybody needs somebody to love (The Blues Brothers) Listen to Everybody needs somebody and complete the questions in your notebook: - Some instruments mark the beat in the introduction. Which are they? - Are any other instruments played after the introduction? - Does any instrument make an improvisation? - Is the tempo of this musical composition slow, medium or quick? 4. What type of voices can you hear? Are they low or high? 5. Listen and read the lyrics of the song at: omebody 14

15 Soul Soul was born at the end of the 50 s. It was an evolution from R&B to songs that had more moving and sensitive themes with slower tempos. The rhythmic bases were repetitive and hypnotic. There are two very well-known kinds of soul: the Motown sound (Detroit s record label) and the Atlantic sound (New York s record label). Soul began to decline coinciding with Martin Luther King s assassination (1968). Nowadays, however, people have begun to listen to it again thanks to movies and television commercials. The Commitments is a 1991 comedy-drama film adaptation of the novel The Commitments by Roddy Doyle. It is about unemployed Dubliners who form a soul band. It was directed by Parker. Watch and listen to the song below film and answer the following questions: Alan that is in the Dark end of the street (James Carr) 6. What is the relationship between the characters like? Are they friendly or angry? 7. How many musicians are there in the band? Write the name of each instrument. Sittin on the dock of the Bay (Otis Redding). 8.

It consists of five lines and four spaces between the lines. - Treble clef: We place it at the beginning of every musical line. - Notes: Symbols used to represent different musical sounds. - Ledger lines: Short lines above or below the standard five lines. They are used to give more information. In English, every musical note has a letter name. The first 7 letters of the alphabet are used to name the 7 basic musical notes: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. These are the notes that we find within the stave. You can see the English names of the notes inside them. 2. Can you guess the names of the notes that are outside of the stave? Be careful!

19 Rock n Roll Bill Haley and the Comets recorded a cover from the classic rhythm and blues song, Rock Around the Clock in This song, which became very popular, is considered to be the beginning of rock and roll in The United States.

Musicians often find it useful to speak about how much higher or lower one note is from another. The distance between two pitches is called the interval between them. In Western music, the small interval from one note to the next closest note, higher or lower, is called a half step or semi-tone. If you go up or down two half steps from one note to another, then those notes are a whole step, or whole tone apart. Figure 1 Rhythm Whole tone Semitone Semitone Whole tone Mayumana 1.
