Basic Definition:

According to Wikipedia, in music, harmony is the process by which the composition of individual sounds, or superpositions of sounds, is analysed by hearing. In simple terms, harmony is basically the pleasant sound you hear when two or more musical notes are played/sung at the same time.

Importance:

Without harmony in music, you would only hear the main melody with no accompaniment/background sounds. Harmony is needed when a musical piece ‘has more than one layers’, synchronising all the instruments and sounds. For example, when one instrument is playing the main melody of a peaceful song, the accompaniment cannot be too loud or too rough.

Fun Facts :D

In ancient times, harmony referred to the entire melody/piece and music referred to the art in general.

1.    Rhythm is the placements of sounds in time. It is also the regular pulses in the music, caused by its strong and weak elements.

2.    Some interesting facts about rhythm include that the type of rhythm used in music varies based on their culture and where they originated from.

3.    Rhythm is important because it brings music to life and gives the music its structure.

1. Harmony is when a combination of individual music , notes or tones are simultaneously played together. For example the  flute player may be playing one note, the violinist plays a different note, and the guitarist plays another different note. But when their individual parts are heard together, harmony is created.

2. The word “ harmony “comes from the Greek harmonia meaning "to join things up" Harmony was also formed in about 1600 based on the Pythagoras theorem to make music sound better .
3. For the purpose of definitions, the important fact is the notes sounding at the same time. Harmony is the most emphasized and most highly developed element in Western music, and can be the subject of an entire course on music theory.

1. Musical form has two meanings, the first meaning is the kind of composition and the second meaning is the shape of the music and how it is planned.

2.  The basic principles can be discerned from a brief consideration of melody, which may be defined as an organized succession of musical tones. This succession of tones consists of component parts, structural units, the principal of which is the phrase—a complete musical utterance, roughly corresponding to what can be sung or played in one breath or played with a single stroke of the bow.

3. It is important because the structure holds the music (the music relies on it). Without musical form, the piece would be chaotic and messy.

1. form is the structure of a musical composition
2.  form can be labelled in letters-A B C D
some forms include strophic,binary,ternary,rondo and variational
3. if there is no form, the musical composition will be very messy as there is nothing holding the rhythms in place and the music will sound bad and chaotic as there will not be flow to the music.

1.In music, form refers to the structure of a musical composition or performance
2.The term is regularly used in two senses: to denote a standard type, or genre, and to denote the procedures in a specific work.
3.it is important as It's highly common in songs that need to be sung, marches, waltzes/dances and symphonic works.

The definition of tempo is the speed and pace at which a section of music is being played. Here are some examples of tempo.1. Grave means Slow and Solemn. 2. Andante means Walking Pace. 3. Presto means Very Fast. And much more. One interesting fact about tempo is that it was invented by Diederich Nicolaus Winkel  in 1814. Tempo is important as it affects the emotional expression with different speed.

Definition: In music, texture is how the tempo, melodic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition, thus determining the overall quality of the sound in a piece.
Fact: There are different types of texture such as homophonic, polyphonic and monophonic.
How is it important: Texture is important as texture will determine how the music will sound.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Texture is how the melody, tempo and harmony are joined in a piece that will determine the overall quality of sound in the piece.
2. There are many types of texture in a composition, mainly consisting of monophonic, biphonic, Polyphonic, and homophonic with homophonic being the most common one. Homorhythmic can be classified as a variation of homophonic while hetrophonic is performed by 2 vocals with variations of the original melody.
3. Texture is important as it provides the main source of quality of the sound in the piece and make the song more interesting.

Definition: Dynamics of a piece is the variation between notes or phrases. One of the effective uses of music, used effectively, dynamics can help musicians display variety and interest in their music.
Interesting facts: All sounds have levels that can range between barely audible or barely endurable. While scientists and most of the world refer to this measurement as amplitude, musicians call it dynamics. The amplitude of a sound is registered in decibels, but in music, rather than using numbers, the interpretation of musical dynamics and accents are dependent on a number of factors like the ability of the performance.

1.Form is the structure of a musical composition or a plan to show the notes played.
2.You can use letters to represent the different forms, eg. ABA’A”
3.Form is important because the structure of the music relies on it. Without form, the pieces will be a chaos of notes.

1. Rhythm in music can be defined simply as the time pattern of music. Regular or irregular pulses of music is caused by the occurrence of strong and weak melodic and harmonic beats, making a pattern aka rhythm.
2. One of the reasons why we relate so much to rhythm and that rhythm is familiar to us is because rhythm is very prevalent in human biology. Our hearts beat rhythmically, and we wake and sleep to circadian rhythms.
3. Rhythm is an indispensable element of music. Rhythm can exist without melody but melody cannot exist without rhythm.

1. The basic definition of tempo is the speed of the Beats in the music piece.
2.  Fast tempos give a exciting feeling, slow tempos give a gloomy feeling. In rock music the tempo is usually faster.
3. The tempo of music is important to set the mood and speed of the music piece. It is also one of the most important elements within music.

Music form is the overall structure of the composition.

There are many types of forms in music. Such as Through-compose, Strophic, Rondo and many others. Form can be represented with a alphabet as Long as those segments are completely identical.

The purpose of form in music is to create a sense of unity and make a song feel ordered and memorable. It is also used to convey a certain idea or emotion.

Definition of texture: Texture is the combination of melody, rhythm, tempo and harmonic materials to form a composition and the overall quality of the sound of the piece.

Interesting facts
1. Thickness of the piece can also be changed by the amount or richness of the instrument played.
2. There are 4 common texture types
-monophonic
-polyphonic
-homophonic
-heterophonic

Texture is important as it determines the quality of the piece and how rich the sound is. Without texture the piece would just be one flat row of notes.

Form refers to the structure of the composition or piece.

Some common music forms are Strophic (AAA), Ternary(ABA) and Binary(AB), which can be classified as Simple Binary and Rounded Binary. Strophic form is usually used in nursery rhymes such as ‘Mary had a little lamb’ or folk songs such as ‘The wheels on the bus’ as the melody is repetitive. In simple Binary, the melody will usually end in its dominant(5th note) eg. C major- G major. Ternary usually ends with the same melody as the start (ABA) and might sound slightly different in terms of tempo or rhythm. The middle will usually be contrasting compared to the start and end, and all parts of the songs will end on a perfect cadence to Ensure maximum closure.

It is important in a music piece as without it,the music might sound messy and disorganised compared to a composition with form.

Texture is the melodic, rhythmic and harmonic materials that are found in a composition, the overall quality of the music. Texture is often describing the thickness and range of pitches.
Texture of a piece can be affected by the number of parts playing at once, like the timbre, rhythm and harmony of the music.
Texture is important as the layerings of texture will affect how the sound is heard, how thick or thin the piece of music is.

1. Tempo is the pace or speed at which the music is played at (measured in beats per minute BPM). It is directed by a series of directions such as allegro (fast) and largo (slow). Tempo is marked usually by a metronome
2. Music can change tempo throughout the piece, where some parts are played faster than others. Rubato (slightly speeding up and then slowing down) can also be found in some music
3. Tempo helps to convey feelings in music, for example fast tempo means exciting, and slow tempo means relaxing. It can help the composer convey feelings of intensity of relaxation

1. Dynamics of a piece is the variation in loudness between notes or phrases, they are indicated by specific musical notation, often in some detail.

2. An interesting fact about dynamics is that in written music, the dynamics are shown by letters which stand for Italian words for the dynamic levels. Another interesting fact is that  composers only started writing dynamics in much more detail in their music in the 19th century

3. Dynamics  help to drive the emotional content of music through volume and intensity. It's as if you could adjust both the volume and the color depth on your screen simultaneous.

Melody is a tune, forming part of a larger piece of music, and is the succession of single tones in musical composition. the interesting facts are that it is like a combination of pitch and rhythm. It has various pitches and they can be sang, or played on instruments such as guitars or pianos. Stringing a series of notes that catch your ear when you listen to it can give you a melody. A melody can show conjunct movements, with slow changes of pitch. Composers can give their songs a range which is like a “leap”. A melody is important as it’s the part of the song that the audience remembers the most. Sequences of notes that compromise melody are musically satisfying and often the most memorable part of the song.

In music,texture refers to the interaction/ combination of melody and harmony within the song. Texture in music is used to describe the sound we hear from the different instruments played in the background .A texture can be a single melodic line instead of several.Texture help to enhance the overall musical quality by giving the piece more depth and a more 3D feel

Basic definition: Rhythm refers to the length of time between each major "beat", or accent, such as in a
piece of music. It is the sequence of sounds and silences which make up the rhythm.
Interesting facts:  rhythm make us want to move and dance. Rhythm is very familiar to us, our heart Beats rhythmically
Importance for music arrangement: Rhythm keeps a song moving along, it gives motion. It can also help make a song
feel slower or faster than it's actual pulse, or create a sense of groove. Sometimes
alternating rhythms are used for dramatic effect.

# data[].attributes.body
Definition of rhythm: Rhythm basically is different patterns of different notes with varying pauses and long notes.
Interesting fact: There are 5 types of rhythms, which include random rhythms (meaning the pauses or lengths of notes in the rhythm is very irregular, or “hard to predict”), regular rhythms (it’s just a loop of the same sequence of pauses and lengths of notes, opposite of random rhythms), alternating rhythms(alternate between two different rhythms to make one rhythm), flowing rhythms (repeated waves and curves in the notes), and progressive rhythms (one characteristic is changed while the rhythm repeats)
Why rhythm is important: Without rhythm in music, songs will not have that “groove” you usually feel when hearing music

1. Melody is the succession of single tones in musical compositions, as distinguished from harmony and rhythm.
2. Music can have more than one melody line and that type of music is polyphonic
3. The melody is the main tune of the music and it shapes the main tune of the music. It comprises of pitch and rhythm and it is usually the most important part of any song.

# data[].attributes.body
-Melody is a tune, comprised of a series of notes that when played together, is musically satisfying to hear.
-Each song has a unique melody, some of which not obvious unless it is listened closely to.
-Most good melodies have a “climax”, which is typically the melodies highest pitch.
-Melodies also can have parts like a melodic phrase, which can be classified like a grammar phrase, since it is a group of notes that are arranged to make sense together and expresses the melody’s “idea”.
-Melody is often the most recognisable feature of any song, as such, without melody, a song can be completely unidentifiable, and it also defines the artist behind the song. It is often one of the first components that comes in arranging a song.

-the rhythmic succession of  single tones producing a distinct musical phrase or idea
Interesting facts:-melody make a tune the same way a group of words make a sentence
-The adjective of melody is melodic
How is the element important for musical arrangement:The melody is something that makes ups piece so the melody   is very important if not the piece will be just sounds.

definition: a consistent, orderly, or pleasing arrangement of parts
interesting facts :
-harmony which adds lots of extra sharps and flats is called “chromatic harmony”
-harmony which uses just the notes of the key (e.g. just using white notes for C major) is called “tonal harmony”
-if music is not in any key at all, it is “atonal”
why harmony is important for music arrangement : it establishes the mood and context of a piece and prevents it from sounding flat. together with rhythm and pitch, it is one of the fundamental building blocks of music.
