The tempo is the pace or speed at which music is played (measured in beats per minute). In short, a tempo of 60 beats per minute means there's one beat per second (it also depends on time signature, but let's keep things simple here). A song that has a faster tempo is generally seen as being happier, or perhaps more popular. For example, faster tempo pieces of music generally create a more energetic sound overall, and this helps to create a mood for the listener. Why have a tempo? The point of a tempo is simple, and is best explained when thinking of classical music. In classical, tempos are used to either relax or excite the listener. A slow tempo gen- erally creates a pleasant, slow mood. At the same time, a fast tempo creates drama, pace and excitement. Within the tempo are the number of beats per minute. A fast piece of music may well have a tempo of 130 beats per minute, for example. A slower love song may have a tempo of 60 beats per minute, or one beat per second.
