Opener• 1. If you were stuck on an
abandoned island, what would be the 5 songs that you would have to have with you in order to survive?
• 2. Why would these songs be essential to your survival?– (If you’re having a hard time
trying to figure out an answer, think of what your favorite type of music and go from there)
An interesting fact…
• Italian is the language of music.– Many of the terms used to describe the
elements of music are from the Italian language (presto, largo, sonata).
Tonality-pattern of pitches used to write a songMajor-all white keys on piano are major keys

Rhythm
• Rhythm is the way music paces itself and moves through time. Music can flow gently or forcefully, smoothly or roughly.
• It can be rapid or slow, deliberate or tentative.
• Clap!
Melody
• An intentionally organized succession of musical tones.
• Think of the melody as the part of the song that you hum or think of whenever you’re thinking of the song.
Form
• The structure and design of a composition, incorporating repetition, contrast, unity, and variety.
• In other words, form is everything you hear but don’t realize your hearing when you listen to any song.
Form- Types of • AB: 2 contrasting sections• ABA: 3 sections with
contrast in the middle• Call and Response: one
voice or instrument plays or sings a phrase, followed by a responding phrase played or sung by a different voice or instrument.
• Closed: the song has a clear ending- the song stops.
• Open: the ending of the song fades out.
Theme
• The melodic idea of a piece.
Variations• When the melodic idea is stated and
then varied in a piece.
Rondo
• A composition consisting of a recurring theme alternating with contrasting sections.
• The rondo usually occurs in the last movement, since it is usually fast in tempo and merry in mood.
Franz Joseph Haydn
Timbre• Aerophones: sound is made when wind
travels through the instrument.• Idiophones: sound is made whenever the
instrument is struck.• Membranophones: sound is made when a
skin is rubbed or struck.• Chordophones: sound is made when a cord
is struck. • Electrophones: sound is made from
electricity.
