Texture is how the tempo, melodic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition,it also determines the overall quality of the sound in a piece. It is often described in regard to the density, or thickness, and range, or width, between lowest and highest pitches, in relative terms.A thick texture contains many 'layers' of instruments. The thickness also is changed by the amount and the richness of the instruments playing the piece. The thickness varies from light to thick. A piece's texture may be changed by the number and character of parts playing at once, the timbre of the instruments or voices playing these parts and the harmony, tempo, and rhythms used .The types categorized by number and relationship of parts are analyzed and determined through the labeling of primary textural elements.

1) Musical form is the structure of a musical composition
2) Musical form depends, therefore, on the disposition of certain structural units successively in time. The basic principles can be discerned from a brief consideration of melody, which may be defined as an organized succession of musical tones.
3) Form is important to music as it is supposed to create a sense of unity and togetherness. It is also to allow the song to be memorable .

1. In musical terminology, tempo is the speed or pace of a given piece.
2. In Latin tempus means time, and in Italian it is a fencing term denoting the timing of an attack. In classical music, tempo is typically indicated with an instruction at the start of a piece (often using conventional Italian terms) and is usually measured in beats per minute (or bpm).
3. Tempo affects the emotional expression of the musical piece

A melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm. It may be considered as the foreground to the background accompaniment. Some music has more than one melody happening at the same time and when this happens throughout the whole piece, it is called polyphonic music.  The melody is the tune of the song.

The texture in music is the overall quality of the sound produced by different forms of instruments. It is also the number of layers or how thick or the sound is. The most common form of texture in music, especially western and classical music, is the homophonic texture, which has a melody and a background accompaniment. With that being said, there are also many other forms of texture such as, monophonic and polyphonic texture.

1. The purpose of form in music is to create a sense of unity and make a song feel ordered and memorable. It's highly common in songs that need to be sung, marches, waltzes/dances and symphonic works. However it is also used to convey a certain idea or emotion. Such as a movie score or a Symphonic Poem.
2. Facts about music. Digital revenues were 77 percent of the total music industry in the first half of 2016. Streaming was 47 percent of the U.S. music industry revenue in the first half of 2016. Americans spend more than four hours a day listening to music.
3. Every piece of music has an overall plan or structure, the “big picture,” so to speak. This is called the form of the music. Most listeners will quickly grasp the form of a short and simple piece, or of one built from many short repetitions.

Form is the structure of music. The structure of music is how a music is being made up.The different sections which are in different orders make up the structure. Composers use structure to give balance to the music. Certain musical structures tells the different musical periods . Repeated sections are an example of structure .Structure is important as music needs to repeat and contrast in different sections to make it coherent

dynamics is the loudness or softness of a piece of music. dynamics are one of the most expressive elements in music. It can help express a particular state or feeling when used effectively. Dynamics markings used to be based on italian words. The loudest dynamic is fortissimo and the softest is pianissimo. They are important as they help to drive the emotions of the piece of music through volume and intensity.

# data[].attributes.body
Dynamics is the volume of a sound or note, how loud or how soft the sound or note. An interesting fact is that dynamics markings are based on Italian words. The piano was originally called a “pianoforte” with piano meaning soft and forte meaning loud as the piano can play dynamics. The main dynamics are thus p and f, p being piano and f being forte. Dynamics sustain variety and interest in a musical importance. Without dynamics, it will not sound nice. They help to express an emotion through volume and intensity. For instance, a loud sound can mean a person is angry. Another fact is that dynamics are relative, they cannot be measured exactly and do not refer to specific volume levels.

1)A melody is a series of notes of various pitches one after another,which forms a tune.
2)The term melody appeared before harmony did.The word melody came from Greek.Melody is what majority first think of when composing a song.
3)Melody is very important in music,as it is what makes a song catchy or memorable.Without a melody, a song would be nothing.

Form refers to the structure of a musical composition. Some examples of common forms are strophic (AAA), binary (AB), ternary (ABA) and rondo (ABACA) or (ABACABA). A part is represented by a letter (A,B,C or more if needed) and a part has a certain rhythm and tune that always stays the same throughout a piece. For example, a song with a strophic form (AAA) will have a repeated tune over and over again throughout the whole song. An example of a song with a strophic form is “Mary had a little lamb”. Although the lyrics are different, the tune of the songs is repeated throughout the entire song. If a part is different from an (A) part, it is then considered a (B) part. And if there’s another part that’s neither (A) Nor (B), it is a (C) part and so on. Form is important as it makes a song feel ordered and memorable. Songs that are sung, for dancing or marching usually have form.

Melody is the sequence of notes that is musically satisfying. It is also known as a tune. Melody has a melody motion to it and is one of the most important elements to music. Without melody, the song will only have rhythm and the beat, and it will be less interesting. There are some songs that seem to have no melody but actually, they have a melody, just that the melody is not the emphasis. In such songs, like Frith of Fifth by Genesis in 1973, the song is has a stronger rhythm and time signatures, making up for the melody. The oldest melody was discovered in the 1950s, it was about 3400 years old.

Dynamics is the variation of loudness in a piece of music. Dynamics does not only affect the loudness and softness of the music. A musician would often use a different approach to other aspects of expression like timbre or articulation or even tempo to further illustrate the differences of dynamics on different instruments. It is important to control dynamics and tempo independently. Just because the music is getting louder, does not mean you have to go faster. In dynamics, forte means loud and piano means soft. Dynamics has special features such as crescendo which means “increasing”, decrescendo which means “decreasing” and diminuendo which means "diminishing".

1. Harmony means the composition of individual sounds. For example,  multiple pitches playing at the same time.
2. Harmony involves chords and their construction and chord progressions and the principles of connection that govern them.  Harmony is the building block of chords and song structures.
3. Harmony is important because it is the most emphasised and most highly developed element in music and can be the subject of an entire course on music theory.

1) Harmony is the sound of two or more notes heard at the same time.
2) It sounds pleasant when there is a balance between tensed and relaxed sounds. Functional harmony gives us a way of moving to and from tonic, in an orderly fashion.
3) Without harmony, music would consist of only one melody without any accompaniment. It is also one of the building blocks of 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.  Musical texture can be used by composers to create drama and contrast by differences in the layers of sound, whether melody or harmony, the relations between these layers of sound, and how many layers there are.  The common types of textures are monophonic, biphonic, and polyphonic. With the evolution of electronic media in the late twentieth century, entirely new ways in which textures could be created emerged. Mario Davidovsky (b. 1934) was a pioneer in the realm of electronic media utilization in music and won a Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1971 for one of his electronically based compositions.

Rhythm is a repeated pattern of beat or tempo in a bar. Rhythm originates from a Greek word 'rhuthmos', which relates to the word 'rhein' which means 'to flow'. Rhythm is never constant and can be changed accordingly based on one’s feelings and emotions. There also five types of rhythm : Random Rhythm, Regular Rhythm, Alternating Rhythm, Flowing Rhythm and Progressive Rhythm. Rhythm is important in musical arrangement as it gives groove , pulse and feeling to a song.

1. Rhythm is a music’s pattern and beat. It is the placement of sounds in time, it is called “Rhythmos” in Greek and is derived from the word “Rhein” which means “to flow”. It is also ordered in alteration.

2. Rhythm can influence what we hear, and how we go about listening to it. It change the groove of a song/piece. The rhythm can be constantly changed according to how one feels at times.

3. Rhythm is important for musical arrangement as it keeps the song moving along and gives it motion. It can make a song/piece sound faster or slower and is used for dramatic effects at times.

1.Form is the structure of a composition. As each section in the composition is labeled with a letter, all the letters add up to form a complete structure. Examples are forms are Strophic(AAA), Binary(AB), Ternary(ABA) and so forth.
2.Form offers a great range of complexity in a musical composition.
Metal bands and EDM abstain from using a traditional form and create or improvise their own.
3.Form is important as its purpose is to make a song sound in an orderly fashion and also memorable, create a feeling of unity and it is used to show ideas and emotions.

Basic definition:  a pattern of regular or irregular pulses which are repetitive caused by harmonic and melodic Beats
Interesting facts:  Rhythms are found in areas other than music for example arts like poetry or painting, most musical ensembles contain a rhythm structure

The form of music refers to the arrangement and positioning of different segments that make up the music.
The form of music depends on what type of music it is. The structure for electronic dubstep music is ABAB, where A is the intro, breakdown and build up, and B is the beat drop.
It is important as it gives balance and shape to the music. Without structure, the melody would be very random.

1. Texture is like made up of different layers of music. Different harmonies, dynamics and many other elements combined in a piece of music. There are thick and thin textures, with thick textures having a lot of different sounds, instruments, or different variations of dynamics and rhythm.
2. Other than thick and thin textures, there are many other textures such as monophonic, homophonic, and polyphonic.
3. Texture defines the overall feeling or scene of the music, which determines part of the theme or mood of the music piece. The texture is important in concluding the thick elements of music included or the light delights.

Rhythm is an ordered recurrent alternation of strong and weak elements in the flow of sound and silence in speech. A good rhythm is always imperfect. There are 3 elements to rhythm: tempo, content and quality. There are 5 types of rhythm: random rhythm, alternating rhythm, random rhythm, flowing rhythm, and progressive rhythm. 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.

Melody
Definition: Linear succession of musical notes and it is also a combination of rhythm and pitch.
Characteristics:
Interesting facts: Melody in western music by the late 19th century was considered to be the surface of a group of harmonies. The TOP tone of the chord became a melody tone. They restrict their basic range to no more than an octave and a half.
How is this feature important to the physical arrangement:
It is may be the foreground to the background accompaniment
*a line/part need not be a foreground melody

A tempo is the speed of the beat in a song. Some songs can alternate between tempos. Without a tempo, the song would not have a beat. It can be measured in Beats Per Minute (BPM). There are many words to describe the speed of the tempo. Some examples are “accelerando “ which means faster bpm and “adagio” which means slower bpm. A fact about tempo is that before the year 1600, there was no symbol to describe a tempo. The tempo of a song can help the Composer and the listener to feel relaxed or tensed, depending on how fast or slow it was.

1)Dynamics is a variation in loudness or volume level between the notes.2)There are four main dynamics , the piano, mezzo piano , mezzo forte , forte , pianissimo and fortissimo. The loudest dynamic is fortissimo and the softest dynamic is pianissimo. 3) Dynamics drive the emotional content of music through volume. It’s like the expression of the song with different volumes of the song. Without Dynamics , the song would sound like a monotonous piece.

The direct definition of tempo is the rate of speed the musical piece is being played. For example some words regarding tempo include: ritardando which is the slowing down of the speed and accelerando which is the acceleration of the speed. Tempo is the underlying beat of the music. Just like a heartbeat, tempo is also known as the ‘pulse’ of the music. Without tempo, the music would be disorganised as the speeds of each beat is not synchronised. Thus tempo is an important element in arranging a music piece as  it controls the speed of the piece so it will be less chaotic.

Tempo is the speed or pace of a given piece. There are different tempos such as larghissimo, adagio, andante, allegro and prestissimo. There are different terms for change of tempo such as accelerando, allargando and piu mosso. Tempo is important as it helps the Composer express different emotions through different tempos. Usually a slow tempo helps to make the piece feel more sad while a fast tempo makes the piece seem more lively and energetic. Also,  the speed of the music is measured in Beats per minute

Basic definition: The overall “feeling” of the multiple layers of instruments and or voices (Thick/ Thin)
Interesting fact: The most common type of texture in western music is homophonic, emphasises one one melody with others being  the accompaniment
Importance: It’s how many elements of the song (tempo, harmony etc) come together to make a music piece

Harmony is the arrangement of notes in such a way that it’s pleasing to hear. These usually come in forms of chords or chord progressions. Some of these chords have a more dissonant note in them which gives them a tense feeling, but sounds “finished” when followed by a consonant chord. The word “harmony” comes from the Greek term “ἁρμονία harmonia” which means joint or agreement. This plays an important role in music as without it, there will be a lack of order or feeling in the music, and the notes will sound chaotic.

Texture is the thickness and density of a piece and also the layers and amount of instruments that are found in the piece of music at any point in time. The more the amount of instruments, the thicker the texture. Texture is actually a very important part of a piece of music as it determines whether a part of the music is solo or orchestral. The texture can always work with dynamics to produce impact on the audience; either strong or light music. Interesting Fact! There are actually many different types of texture in music: monophonic (which was discovered in 400AD), polyphonic (which was discovered in 1450), homophonic (which was discovered in 1750) and lastly holophonic (which was discovered in 1950). I feel this is extremely interesting and fascinating.

The basic definition of melody is the sequence of notes which makes it a tune. In another words, it is a combination of pitch and rhythm. Some interesting facts of melody is different musical styles use melody in different and unique ways which makes each music styles unique and different from each other. Another interesting fact of melody is that it consist of rhythm. An example would be the length of each notes. The last interesting fact of melody would be that it can include successions of other musical elements such as tonal colour. Melody is important as Melody is one of the most basic elements of music. Melody is the sound that is the most important as it is the one that catches the listener’s ear.

Definition: it is a combination of notes played together in a way such that it sounds pleasant.
Interesting facts: there are different types of harmonies. One example is a consonant chord. A consonant chord is when every instrument in the ensemble is playing notes that fit the same chord. Another example is when people play a a melodic line that does not fit with the set chord. This is called a dissonant chord.
Why it is important: it establishes the mood and context of the song or piece. Harmony also prevents the piece from sounding flat or boring.

The definition of Rhythm is a repeated beat and pattern
A good rhythm is imperfect and if it is perfect that means it is fake
Rhythm somehow flows through out cerebellum which is the bottom part of our brain. The cerebellum is involved in interpreting the rhythm and keeping time.when we are surprised by an off-timed beat or a different rhythm, the blood flow increases to this area, our brains are surprised… and a little excited, because it’s these surprises that make music interesting.
Rhythm is important as it can make the music piece faster or slower ,however the songwriter wants it to be
