Making your own music

ADA 4 Making your own music
Rules for success:
1. Always, always, always, include the name of a piece of music that is being discussed or referenced, the name of a video being used, and its presenter or performing group, or no credit will be given for your answer.
2. Researching using outside sources and plagiarizing: Searching for answers from sources other than Mindtap, Simoncic lectures, videos, or assigned youtube videos will not be accepted. Outside sources are often dated or often only partially accurate. Plagiarizing using AI or another student’s work or an outside source will be handled according to the NU policy found in the Syllabus. With the new Artificial Intelligence available, cheating has become a more common practice. I will keep a close eye on the answers submitted by students. Use your mind not the mind of a machine.
Instructions
ADA: making your own music: (100 points)
Part 1: https://www.metronomeonline.com/ Simple Meter Counting: Using the Metronome: The metronome is the “beat”. The speed at which the metronome is programmed is the tempo of music: Start by tapping steadily along to various metronome speeds beats. Answer this: Which metronome speeds were easiest to hardest?
Part II: Watch all or parts of each video: Note that finding patterns and repeating them is crucial to making music.
You will be asked to make your own music on any non-living objects. If you can record it and submit a short portion, that would be wonderful. If not. That’s okay too.
If you wish to involve a family member, neighbor, or friend, that is also a good idea. That allows one of you to tap a steady 4-beat meter and the other to improvise fun rhythms to the steady beat. You may wish to do a call and respond to each other’s rhythms or:
you may wish to make a poem and bang out the syllables to a steady beat as you speak the words and tap the syllables.
Whatever you choose to do, have fun, relax when you are improvising, and repeat rhythms often.
After your musical event, write a conclusion on what you learned about making rhythms and your personal connection as a participant and not a consumer of musical creation.

Part III
1. (5 pt.) I offer this information so that you can compare and understand the effort and time it takes to write a song compared to the effort and time it takes to write a symphonic work. For a songwriter, it may take no longer than a couple of hours to make up lyrics and sing them to a melody. When a pop song is a strophic form of AABA or verse, verse, chorus, verse, the melody simply repeats over and over the chords. The only change is in the lyrics. Look, see, and listen to this beautiful song.
Youtube Title: We’ve Only Just Begun Reference sound: Answer this: https://www.youtube.com/watch/OY7U0T03yms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY7U0T03yms Answer this two-part question: supply comments and or reactions to my written information. Part 2 and comment on the visual of a song’s lead sheet.
2. (15pt.) Youtube Title: Gustav Holst – The Planets. Jupiter’s https://www.youtube.com/watch/POAhmaL-Ogs
Read all of the information for #2 then follow and listen to the music. What does a full symphony music score look like? The composer (the one who writes the music) creates all the parts. The conductor (one who rehearses and conducts the music at a concert) studies and usually memorizes all the parts of the score. This is only one of the movements (pieces somewhat similar to a long chapter from Holst’s music, The Planets.
How to follow and listen: Gustav Holst – The Planets. Jupiter’s full orchestral score was highlighted and functionally analyzed. Follow the page turns and color schemes.The light blue (aqua) represents the main melodies. The yellowish color, a counter melody, and other colors represent harmonies and second or third counter melodies.
This is a 7-minute and 45-second work. It was handwritten before it went into print. The entire work includes seven movements for seven planets. Each planet is a separate movement of music just like the one for Jupiter in the youtube example. Imagine how many pages and how many measures how much time and the tens of thousands of notes it took Holst to write (compose) for all seven planets. Follow and listen to the entire 7-plus minutes of Jupiter. Music was hand written and most composers continue to do so before transferring it to a midi and music software for print. Answer this: Were you able to follow the color graph and page turn at least for a while?
Answer this: Imagine that you are the composer with all the notes rushing through your brain, trying to write it fast enough for all the instruments and not lose your train of thought. The trick is to store entire sections in the back of your brain (computer-like) for the duration of several months as you write the work. Remember words are simple, but thousands of notes and orchestral colors in a short period of time is a much different task. Songwriters are a dime a dozen but composing an orchestral work is left to just a few. Would you be willing to spend thousands of hours a year writing orchestral music?
