-I know for sure that the beat is the underlying pulse in a song and it has to be moving at equal times.

This song is called my everything by Ariana Grande. I would say her timbre of voice is breathy, bright, and smooth. I would say the dynamic levels in this song are piano or soft. This is a very emotional/sad song so piano fits this song very well. 
-This song doesn't seem to have an instrument of indefinite pitch in it since the main instrument that is playing is a piano.]]> 2021-08-28 17:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1702086725 zinoubiahasasna https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1703727952 What is the difference between Rhythm and pitch?  
  Whereas the rhythm is music's pattern in time, the pitch is how high or low we hear frequency.

A slow and easy tune. This song is also low-pitched, but higher pitched for some parts. The dynamic level in this song ranges from pianissimo (very soft) to piano level (soft). The C Instrument was used (Flute, Violin).

As for the dynamic level in the song I would say that it starts off as mezzo piano, then quickly builds to mezzo forte before ending up in the middle of the song at forte then back to mezzo forte till the end.]]> 2021-08-30 20:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1705320876 GirijaSharma https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1707558911 I find it very interesting that many qualities of music are quantitative, like measuring frequency in Hertz, but many are also qualitative, like timbre.
One of my favorite songs is moon river, and I especially love the Audrey Hepburn version.

I would describe her timbre in this song as mellow, warm, and clear.

Although I found it interesting that indefinite pitch instruments do not usually play melodies or harmony, but rather rhythms.
I attached the song "23" by Chayce Beckham. This is Chayce's only song right now, but is definitely one of my favorites. I would describe the timbre in this song as clear, dark, and mellow. The dynamic level ranges from I would say piano to mezzo forte.

- I think the timbre of this song is clear, bright, and smooth. This creates an uplifting fun song. 
- I think the pitch is indefinite because there aren’t really instruments being played it is more of just a rhythm. 
-The dynamic level is right in the middle because it is soft but there is also a lot of high pitch notes. ]]> 2021-09-01 01:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1708456068 xxariannasantiagoxx https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1708879685 When I go to describe the timbre of this song, I would describe it as full, soulful (especially the end of the song), cultural, and warm. 

It has been one of my favorite songs since I was seven because of how much the song seems to hold life in a positive yet slightly sad way that is till uplifting.]]> 2021-09-01 03:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1708879685 madison2003carreiro https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1710645644 https://youtu.be/mcdO9UP0hp8

I don't have any underlying questions about the elements or anything. When I first listened to the song, all I felt was the pure emotion coming from the artist himself. His timbre is very soft, warm, mellow, and smooth. The dynamic levels of the song don't move around the scale to to much, it starts off pretty quiet and calm but never really exceeds the calming factors. Throughout the whole song I would say it sits between pp and f, as when he actually sings, it's a bit louder than normal speaking voice but he isn't yelling. I do think the song has a bit of a crescendo in the beginning that helps to build up to the chorus and then a bit after the chorus it picks up again. The only instruments being used are a piano and violin, making it not an indefinite pitch. ]]> 2021-09-01 18:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1710645644 tun97393 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1710844200 The song that I chose is Falling Leaves are Beautiful by Heize. When I first listened to this song, I was blown away; not by the lyrics, but of the instrumental and her voice. If you have the chance, I recommend giving it a listen.
The timbre of her voice is mellow and smooth, along with a bit of shakiness. The dynamic levels of the song go from soft to mix of medium soft or loud. This song has a mix of indefinite and definite pitches. In the more softer parts of the song, there are the piano and violin. While in the louder parts, such as the chorus, drums can be heard. But, I would say that the definite pitches are more dominating. ]]> 2021-09-01 20:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1710844200 tup30353 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1711149337 I linked the song "Arsonist lullaby" by Hozier. His voice is deep, a little smoky and resonant. The dynamics of the song are mostly medium soft. The song has both definite and indefinite peaches. There is a distinct, constant beat in the background.]]> 2021-09-02 00:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1711149337 Jatnna https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1712010048 The song that I linked is Stigma by BTS’ V. This song was one of the main reasons why I began to truly listen their music, and is also one of by favorite solos of his. His timbre can be described as deep, breathy, and husky. The dynamic levels of the song are piano (soft) and mezzo piano (medium soft), and also mezzo forte (medium loud) during the songs climax. The song is composed of definite pitches and indefinite pitches, having a mix of mostly piano and drums. ]]> 2021-09-02 05:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1712010048 brycexo01 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1713790046 I do not have any questions regarding the elements of sound, however I found it interesting about the differences between beat and rhythm because I never knew just how different they are, till today. The timbre that Miley has in this song is raspy, bright, and rough. The dynamics levels in this song are mf to ff. I do believe there is a indefinite pitch by drums in this song. ]]> 2021-09-02 22:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1713790046 tuj48764 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1715488982 I found the conversation about beat and rhythm very interesting. When applying to music, you see how some song may become popular because of a certain beat/rhythm. A song that comes to mind is Levels by Avicii. This is a very popular House/Dance track due to the upbeat rhythm and beat.

https://www.youtube.com/watchv=TrmeHMzY9hs

I would say that the timbre is light, full, and smooth, making this a track that many people across genres can enjoy.

I would say the dynamic levels of this song are arguably the most enjoyable, the two crescendos and decrescendos are clear and significant. This ends up creating a great buildup. In terms of specific dynamic level I would denote it is mf.]]> 2021-09-03 15:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1715488982 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1716000715 Since I have a strong musical background I don't have any immediate questions about the material so far. An observation that I made while doing this lesson is just how complex and complicated music can be. Simply because when we listen to an artist or an instrument, we don't always think about the specific details of tone, rhythm, or harmony wmusic. 

The timbre in Alina Baraz encompasses in the song is very calming and smooth. I would also describe the dynamic of the song to different depending on what aspect you're focusing on. I would say the harmony is Mezzo piano, to give us that relaxing and calming mood. But I would describe the harmony as forte.

- An observation that I made was trying to point out how Ella F. and Louis Armstrong's timbres are completely different since they both have different voices and tones. 
- One of my favorite singers is Rihanna and the song I included above is called stay. I believe the timbre in the song is very slow and at a steady pace. The dynamic levels of the song range in high and low to softer and louder sounds. I believe this song has both indefinite and definite pitches. ]]> 2021-09-05 14:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717484206 sarahkanji https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717519148 I found it interesting that it was pointed out not to confuse timbre with the emotions a song makes you feel. When I've listened to music in the past I focused on the emotions the artist was attempting to articulate. However, paying attention to the timbre reveals another layer as to the depth of the song. 
In this song by Ella Eyre, you can clearly hear the definite pitch from the piano and the violin. I believe the dynamic of the piano to be mf. The timbre of the music itself I believe to be very smooth and calming, with a slow uplift. However, I believe the timbre of her voice contrasts, as it is more strong, deep, and even raspy in some areas. ]]> 2021-09-05 14:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717519148 Mamerson https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717645789 Question: is it best when collaborations are between people with very different timbres like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong so that it is very easy. to differentiate between the two artists?

Observation: it was weird to me that there are so many words to describe the quality of a voice or instrument I very was surprised by the fact that you cannot use emotional words when describing the sound of an instrument/voice 

I think Angel Olson has a raspy but mellow timbre and I really enjoy the fact that the songs starts at sort of mezzo piano and goes into forte and maybe even fortissimo ]]> 2021-09-05 17:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717645789 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717677079 (I don't know why it says Anonymous but I'm Ayman Yousif) 

One question I would have to ask is if there is different categories and wordings for Pitch and Tone because those are two words that I always see being put together. My observation that I made was that it is interesting to see all the different elements that go into creating music and its really not as simple as just putting sounds together. One of my favorite songs is A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke and his timbre in that song is pain as he releases his full emotions in that song and it is famous for those aspects.]]> 2021-09-05 18:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717677079 tui90797 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717812430 Question: are there definite pitches identified by their in-between frequencies for semitones that are utilized more in the music of other countries?
Observation: I was partially thrown by the beat/rhythm exercise because I filled in the silence left by the fourth beat in We Will Rock You. The emphasis on the third beat and the absence of the fourth turned what would have been a steady beat to a rhythm.
Analysis: https://youtu.be/YmO3MtWIwi8
(I chose this song because it's been stuck in my head for two days.) His timbre is breathy, mellow, bell-like, slightly raspy. Instruments of indefinite pitch include cymbals and drums. The dynamic levels follow a pattern of mezzo piano, then crescendo approaching the chorus at mezzo forte, before falling back to mezzo piano without transition.]]> 2021-09-05 22:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717812430 StanleyHuang https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717863023 Question: Is there a relation between timbre and pitch or are the completely different?
Observation: For the determining whether it was a rhythm or a beat I noticed that it became a lot easier to determine which it was if you tapped something to the beat and if it matched the tapping it was a beat and if not it was rhythm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvXRX5RJiIo
The singer has a soft and mellow timbre. The instruments of definite pitch were the piano and violin. Anything else such as the percussion instruments and radio noises were indefinite pitch. There is a crescendo as the song progresses towards the chorus.]]> 2021-09-05 23:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1717863023 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1718040368 Question: Although timbre and tone are very similar what is the biggest difference in the two if any?
Observation: Travis Scott is an extremely different artist in my opinion and he truly engineers and puts together an entire song like a performance as it seems like hes telling a different story in different parts of the song and is also able to change his tone in multiple awesome ways. 
Travis Scott is one of my favorite artists because of how different and unique he is. When listening to songs you can usually tell exactly who the artist is and that is also true with travis but hes able to play with his voice and do different things that not just everyone is doing. His voice is so smooth and becomes so clear when listening to his music and hes really able to resonate with his fans and the audience. ]]> 2021-09-06 01:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1718040368 tuh20061 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1736698561 Im still having trouble identifying the meter of different songs that are hard to clap along too]]> 2021-09-13 16:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1736698561 tun52685 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1802795658 Question: For indefinite vs definite pitch, do just percussion instruments have an indefinite pitch?]]> 2021-10-08 15:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1802795658 tug81816 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1806003053 My question is: Is there a necessary connection between tone and pitch? If so, how does this connection come about?
Observation: Rhythm and beat are two different things, and to distinguish them you have to do some experiments.
The singer's voice is very high, her tone is very attractive, her voice is very subdued during the song, and she changes her tone at the climax according to the rhythm.]]> 2021-10-10 19:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1806003053 tun31407 https://padlet.com/alisha_nypaver/20mar4b3b3n4hj1q/wish/1842840450 How are you able to differentiate between different octaves. I understand that they're the same note just a different frequency, but how can one tell exactly which octave a note is played in?
An observation I can make is the difference between a beat and a rhythm. I never really realized that there was a difference between the two and used the terms interchangeably.
