1, rhythm
Rhythm is a regular mutation that goes hand in hand with rhythm in the activities of nature, society and people. It is an important means to express lyric works by organizing all kinds of changing factors in the form of repeated correspondence to form a coherent and orderly whole (namely rhythm). Music rhythm is to combine a disorderly beat stream into different patterns, to integrate different parts with different lengths and frequent repetitions, and to strengthen the middle scale, notes or syllables in the music melody. The rhythm of music is often compared to the skeleton of music.
Step 2 adjust
Tune is the main medium for listeners to obtain music content. The performance of music content depends on the overall sound effect of music. People with low musical literacy can only notice the existence of tunes, in fact, they get music content from the whole voice and lyrics (if any). The public can feel certain music content when singing the tune of a song, which is actually related to the first auditory impression and the singer.
Apart from the lyrics and singers, the tune itself has almost no musical content. Even the same piece of music, different arrangements, speeds, beats and textures will present different music contents.
Therefore, a good piece of music is not only an important medium for listeners to better understand music. A good tune has the characteristics of fluency, coherence and easy to remember. For songs, when composing music, we should also consider how to match the lyrics. Reasonable collocation can make the listener hear the lyrics clearly, so as to better obtain the music content.
Step 3 be harmonious
Harmony includes "chord" and "harmonic progression". Chords are usually sound combinations formed by three or more notes overlapping vertically (simultaneously) according to certain rules. The transverse organization of chords is harmonic progression. Harmony has obvious functions of strong, light, thick and thin colors; It also has the functions of forming clauses, dividing paragraphs and ending music.
4. Strength
The sound produced by the change of strength can express strong feelings such as angry cries, sudden wind and rain, grandeur, boldness and fortitude, and can also express subtle inner feelings such as whispering, whispering, comforting and caressing, sighing and sobbing, sweet happiness, and can also express empty valley echoes, dusk bells, gurgling streams and even invisible sunshine, moonlight, clouds, breeze and other natural feelings. In short, the expressive force of strength is quite rich, which can be said to be a musical element full of "magic".
Step 5: Ways
Modal means that the tones used in music are connected according to a certain relationship, and these tones form a system centered on one tone (tonic), which is called modal. Such as China's major mode, minor mode and pentatonic mode. The tones in the mode are arranged from the tonic to the highest tone to form a scale.
6. Speed: The speed of music. ("tempo" is borrowed from Italian "time" and comes from Latin "tempus". Modern music usually takes beats per minute (bpm) as the speed unit. )
7. Musical form: Musical form is the structural form of music. Melody forms various paragraphs in the process of development. According to the rules of these paragraphs, the musical form with * * * is the musical form. Structure and musical form of paragraphs: A paragraph usually consists of two or four phrases. A "paragraph" composed of two phrases with four bars each is the most common in instrumental music. It is characterized by balance and strong sense of balance. Music consisting of only one paragraph is called a form.
8. Texture: the combination form of each voice in a multi-voice music work (including vertical combination and horizontal combination).
9. timbre: timbre can be divided into vocal timbre and instrumental timbre. In the timbre of human voice, it can be divided into children's voice, female voice and male voice. The difference of musical instrument timbre is even more varied. In music, sometimes only a single timbre is used, and sometimes a mixed timbre is used.
