|
| A short recurring musical idea |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the music between the 2 signs should repeat |
|
|
|
| the overall form each A section has identical musical material. The B section/Bridge has contrasting musical material |
|
|
|
| A pitch that has twice or 1/2 the # of vibrations of another |
|
|
|
| A mysterious quality hard to write it down 8th notes – long – short |
|
|
|
| a tune universally accepted and played by many jazz musicians |
|
|
|
| important rhythms figures |
|
|
|
| the 1st and last chorus of a tune |
|
|
|
| a relatively simple, catchy repeated phrase; often in a bluesy style |
|
|
|
| the immediate repetition of a motive at different pitch level |
|
|
|
| loudness/softness of a piece of music |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| one complete cycle through the form |
|
|
|
| a series of pitches that proceeds upward or downward |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| a sequence of chords that leads to the next section/back to the top |
|
|
|
| a style of bass accompaniment or line, common in jazz which creates a feeling of regular quarter note movement, akin to the regular alteration of feet while walking |
|
|
|
| a group of sounds that are agreeable or restful |
|
|
|
| it tells us generally how high/low the pitches in a pece of music are going to be |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the tone quality or color of a sound |
|
|
|
| the underlying pulse in a piece of music |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| one of the standard jazz tempos, neither up/ballad |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the 1st beat in a measure |
|
|
|
| a group of sounds that are disagreeable/harsh |
|
|
|
| a sign used in music notations to show the relative duration and highness/lowness of a musical sound |
|
|
|
| more readable by minimizing the # of musical symbols |
|
|
|
| the note of the scale that is conserded the most important. For ex: C is the tonic in C Major Scale |
|
|
|
| a move to a different key, different tonic changing from one key to another |
|
|
|
| the metric pattern of the music C – “Common time” or 4/4 four beats per measure |
|
|
|
| 3 more pitches played at the same time |
|
|
|
| have more than one chord; chords and harmony are used interchangeably |
|
|
|
| the specific organizing, doubling, omitting, or adding to the notes of a chord |
|
|
|
| a linear succession of musical tones |
|
|
|
| the immediae repetition of a motive at different pitch level |
|
|
|
| when a band member/members start playing as though the tempos were double it is original rate, even though it is not. A soloist might create a double-time feel by switching from 8th – 16th. Bass player — quarternotes to 8th notes |
|
|
|
| When the band begins to play twice as fast as the original tempo |
|
|
|
| when the band begins to play twice as fast as the original tempo |
|
|
|
| all the group members except the soloist stop playing |
|
|
|
| the opposite of double-time feel. the musicians halve the number of notes that are played w/o halving the rate at which the chords change. The music’s tempo remains the same even though it appears to be moving at half the speed |
|
|
|
| a prewritten out solo in harmony |
|
|
|
| a new melody based on an existing chord progression; result = new song or composition |
|
| Trading Fours, Trading Eights |
|
| soloists sometimes alternate 8-measure phrases.; one musician improvises on the 1st 8 measures, another on the 2nd 8 measure, and so on.; The samthing is done w/ 4 measure section. |
|
|
|
| not common to jazz, but is sometimes used in introductions/endings.; aka rubato (Italian for stolen time) |
|
|
|
| 12 bars long.; the melody is usually played twice.; as usual, the soloist improvises over the progression of chords in its accompaniment.; Each soloist ends an improvisation, another soloist takes over.; after all the solos, the group concludes by playing the melody twice more |
