Rythm


  1. Rythm is the part of music, which interracts most immediately, without it music won't be so hypnotic and pleasant. It gives us the feeling of excitment. 
  2. Under rythm lies the concept of pulse of heart beating, so rythm is inherent in us. Rythm is presented in all kinds of music, even if we can't hear it.
  3. "Tempo"
  4. Swing is a form of American music that developed in the early 1930s and became a distinctive style by 1935. Swing uses a strong rhythm section of double bass and drums as the anchor for a lead section of brass instruments such as trumpets and trombones, woodwinds including saxophones and clarinets, and sometimes stringed instruments such as violin and guitar, medium to fast tempos, and a "lilting" swing time rhythm.

Melody

Part 1
  1. It seems that we have an inborn instinct for melody, which was "preinstall" in us before we were born. It's the same instinct we have for language: we can recognise notes and tunes as naturally as we can learn words. That's why melody is very similar to language.
  2. Pentatonic is a musical scale, which consists of five notes. Every music system shares these five notes in common,  so pentantonic scale can be found all over the world. It's important, because we can easily recognise these notes. Enormous numbers of songs of different music styles are based on these notes. They are our genetic inheritance, like five fingers.
  3. Notes: C - до, D - ре , E - ми , F - фа, G - со, A - ля, H - си
  4. Every musical system has its own number of notes. In Western scale there are twelve notes, other cultures have many more, so it makes notes sound much closer together.
  5. Pitch (высота) - is a major auditory attribute of musical tones. It discribes how "high" or "low" you want your note to sound.

Short story

White chrysanthemums

- Say, grandpa, when will you die?
That was the question Mr Owen heard from his little grandson today.
- Why are you saying this, child?
- But mom told us that when you die I can finally have my own room.

Mr Owen was not shocked, he even understood.
