________ are used for the ascending scale.

________ are used for the descending scale.

The ________ is described by quantity and quality.

________ scales- There are seven tones in the scale.

________ accent- A type of accent that is created by emphasizing the duration of a note.

________ and minor scales are heptatonic.

The sixth scale in the rotation of church modes

Natural, harmonic, and melodic

Same first five notes that the three forms of minor start with

No alterations to the key signature

The 7th scale degree is raised both ascending and descending

The 6th and 7th scale degrees are raised

Each step of the scale

The beginning pitch of the scale

The tone on which the scale is built, the tonal center

Above the tonic

Halfway between the tonic and dominant

A fifth below the tonic

Perfect fifth above the tonic

In between the subdominant and the tonic

Half step below Do

Major and minor keys with different key signature but same tonic

Major and minor scales that have the same pitches and key signature

Natural, harmonic, and melodic

No alterations to the key signature

The 7th scale degree is raised both ascending and descending

The 6th and 7th scale degrees are raised

Keys that share the same tonic note but have different key signatures

Keys that have a small number of differences in their key signatures

Keys that have a large number of differences in their key signatures

The process of changing from one key or tonal center to another

Symmetrical scale with all pitches spaced a half step apart

There are seven tones in the scale

There are six tones in this scale

Each pitch is a whole step apart

Has five tones

To build it, in the Circle of Fifths, start from C up to 5 consecutive pitches

It uses the same pitch as the C pentatonic but it starts on A

The distance between two pitches

Expressed by a number and determined by counting the distance between one letter name and the next letter name

An interval that is one-half step smaller than perfect or minor

An interval that is one-half step larger than major or perfect

Stable

Unstable, the impression of activity or tension

Intervals are inverted by transferring the lower note an octave higher or by transferring the higher note an octave lower

Intervals that are one octave or smaller in quantity

Intervals that are larger than an octave

Determined by how the sound is produced, what the instrument is made of, and the range of an instrument

A logical progression of pitches and rhythms

When the melody uses stepwise motion

When the melody uses skipwise motion

Changing or transforming the original motif by using these compositional devices

When a portion of a motif or a larger musical idea is used, often repeated, and/or varied

A form of variation that refers to repeating the original motif starting on a different pitch

The imitation of the melody performed upside down from the original melody

If the inverted intervals are exact

When the melody is played backwards

It plays the pitches of the original motif backwards and inverted

Changes the motif or themes rhythm in order to vary it from previous statements of the motif

A form of rhythmic variation where the pitches remain the same but the rhythms are equally lengthened (note values are made longer)

The opposite of augmentation, note values are made shorter

Keeps the original rhythmic structure intact but moves it to a different place in the measure

Basic element of music

Has only one melodic line with no harmony or counterpoint

Has one melodic line that draws your attention

Every line or voice moving together with exactly the same or nearly the same rhythm

Clearly has only one melodic line, but the harmony is not limited to chords moving together

Short melodic, rhythmic, or harmonic pattern that is repeated throughout an entire composition or some portion of a composition

An American style of music that was popular at the turn of the 20th century

The repeated melodic pattern at a different interval

Theres only one melody but different variations of it are being sung or played at the same time

An accompaniment figure played on a keyboard instrument with the left hand

A style of bass accompaniment or line that creates a feeling of regular quarter-note movement, similar to the regular alternation of feet while walking

If more than one independent melody is occurring at the same time

If the individual lines are similar in their shapes and sounds

A form of composition popular in the Baroque era, in which a theme or subject is introduced by one voice and is imitated by other voices in succession

If the voice shows little or no resemblance to each other

A secondary melody or line written to be played simultaneously with a more prominent melody

A single performer or a passage that is to be performed by a single performer

A directive to perform an indicated passage of a composition with an entire section of an ensemble

All members play

The rhythmic displacement of the expected strong beat created by using dots, rests, ties, accent marks, rhythm, and dynamics

A special type of syncopation where the bead is temporarily regrouped into twos

Markings used in music notation to indicate emphasis or stress on a particular note or beat

Indicated by a diagonal line above or below the note

Indicated by a vertical line above the note

Indicated by a dot above or below the note, and it indicates that the note should be played short and detached

A type of accent that is created by emphasizing the duration of a note

A symbol used in music notation to indicate that a note or rest should be held longer than its written value

A marking used in music notation to indicate that a note should be held for its full value

The organization of beats into regular groups

Two beats per measure

Three beats per measure

Four beats per measure

A combination of duple and triple meter

It has an irregular grouping of beats
