Chapter 6 Section 2 Voices in your Community
Musical Textures • Songs sung by choirs are known for having texture • Singing a melody with no harmony is a monophonic texture • Singing a song as a round creates a polyphonic texture (independent melodies that stand alone) • Homophonic texture comes from accompanying harmony that supports the main melody
Listening • Identify the musical texture of this group. • Monophonic, polyphonic, and homophonic • CD 4 #29 “Hush, Hush, Somebody’s Callin’ Mah Name”
Using Your Voice to Express Yourself • Think of the ways you use your speaking voice • “See you later” • “Be careful!” • “How are you?”
Bell Ringer 12/7/12 • What happened today in history that brought America into WWII?
Expressing Yourself Through Music • Delivering a musical performance can be exhilarating and demanding • Musicians must work to develop control and confidence • Before performing, musicians audiate the music • This takes a great deal of practice. • Professionals usually go over a part of music again and again until it is mastered.
Audiation • Audiation- the capacity to think sound • Hear music in your “mind’s ear” • Think of how you would look at a song without knowing it, and you could sing it in your head. • Practice with a popular song!
Singing A Capella • A Capella- singing without instrumental accompaniment • The phrase is Latin for “as in the chapel” • In the early Christian church, singing was always unaccompanied • CD 4 #30 “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”
