Music - The Rhythm of LifeBY: aniket | Category: Entertainment | Post Date: 2008-09-17
Music is ancient civilizations was passed on by listening and repetition; there was no accurate system of writing it down. Some ancient instruments have been found and,together with pictures and descriptions of different periods, they give us an idea of the kinds of music that people played. The basis of any song is its tune,or melody, which consists of a series of single notes. Because most wind and stringed musical instruments normally play one note at a time, the music they play is essentially melodic. Underlying each piece of music is the beat, a pattern that divides music into units of time. The rhythm of a piece of music is determined by how the composers have grouped beats together,by the length of each note, and how notes are accented. The sound produced when two or more notes are played simultaneously is called harmony. Harmonies accompany the instruments playing the melody and can change the mood of a piece. Composers use notation (signs and symbols giving musicians precise instructions as to what they should play) to write down the music they create. Monks in the 9th century AD were the first to use notation,and it was fully developed by 1200. It was the basis of western art music,as it provided a permanent record of a composer's intentions. In 1900, tonality (the use of keys) was stretched to its limits. Revolutionary new styles appeared that moved away from traditional melody and harmony. Music is immortal and it will continue to entertain upcoming civilizations.
