3 1. NATIONAL 5 CONCEPT DICTIONARY Category Concept Melody / Harmony Definition Atonal Music which has no feeling of key, major or minor. It is very dissonant and lacks a nice melody and accompaniment. Chord Progression (I, IV, V, VI) A series of related chords. At N5 level, these chords are built on the 1 st, 4 th, 5 th and 6 th notes of a major or minor scale. Chords C Major (CEG), G Major (GBD), F Major (FAC) & A Minor (ACE) Chromatic Notes which ascend or descend consecutively in intervals of semitones. Cluster A group of notes which clash when played together. Contrary Motion Two parts which move in opposite directions, e.g. as one part ascends the other descends. Countermelody A second melody played alongside the main melody, with the two of them fitting together with different tunes. Descant A countermelody which accompanies and is sung above the main melody, often during hymns. Flat An accidental which lowers the note by a semitone e.g. A to Ab. Glissando Sliding from one note to another, taking in all the notes in between, where possible. Grace Note A type of ornament, played as a quick, crushed note before the main note of a melody. Imperfect Cadence Two chords at the end of a phrase, the last being chord V (the dominant), making it sound unfinished. Inverted Pedal A note which is held on or repeated continuously at a high pitch, while other music goes on underneath. Key signatures C Major & A Minor (no #/b), G Major (1 - f#), F Major (1 Bb) Melismatic A type of word setting where several notes sung to one syllable. Modulation When the music changes key. Natural An accidental which removes any other accidental by raising or lowering a note by a semitone e.g. F# lowers a semitone to F natural, Gb raises a semitone to G natural. Perfect Cadence Two chords at the end of a phrase, specifically the dominant to tonic chords (chord V chord I), making the phrase sound finished. Pitch bend Changing the pitch of a note slightly, e.g. by plucking a string on a guitar then pulling the pressed fretboard string downwards or upwards. Semitone A distance of half a tone, e.g. B to B b or F to G on a keyboard, or from one fret to the next on guitar. Sharp An accidental which raises the note by a semitone e.g. C to C#. Syllabic A type of word setting in vocal music where each syllable is given one note only. Tone A distance of two semitones between two notes, e.g. from B to A or F to F # on a keyboard, or two frets on a guitar. Trill Moving quickly and repeatedly between two notes which are a step apart. Whole tone scale A scale built entirely on whole tones. It uses no semitones, e.g. C, D, E, F #, G #, A # (B b ), C.

4 Category Concept Rhythm / Tempo Category Concept Texture / Structure / Form Definition 1 st & 2 nd time bars Directions to the performer to repeat a phrase with an alternative ending.

Dotted crotchet A note lasting 1½ beats:. Dotted quaver A note lasting ¾ of a beat:. Dotted rhythms A rhythm made up of dotted notes. For example, a scotch snap. Moderato A medium tempo (speed). Ritardando The music slows down. Rubato A rhythmic feature, known as robbed time. The tempo is flexible to allow the music to speed up and slow down in order to provide more expression. Romantic music often uses rubato. Scotch Snap A very short accented note before a longer note, e.g. semiquaver followed by a dotted quaver. Definition Alberti bass Broken chords played on piano by the left hand, outlining harmonies, whilst the right hand plays the melody. Binary AB A form in which the music is made up of two different sections, called A and B. Coda A passage at the end of a piece of music which effectively brings it to a finish.

Episode A passage of music linking two musical themes, such as in Rondo Form Ground bass Often used in the Baroque period, a theme in the bass which is repeated many times, while the upper parts vary. Homophonic A texture where all the parts play or sing a similar rhythm at the same time. Polyphonic Texture where two or more melodic lines, possibly of equal importance, weave independently to each other. Rondo ABACA A form in which the first section (A) keeps returning in between different sections (B, C etc.) Strophic A form in which a song has the same music in verses/choruses. Most songs are in strophic form. Walking bass A bass line (low notes), often featured in a variety of jazz styles. It is regular in rhythm and moves up and down a pattern of notes and is often played on a double bass or bass guitar.
