IMAGINE
by John Lennon

Imagine there's no……… .
It's easy if you try.
No …….. below us,
Above us, only sky.
Imagine all the ……..
Living for today.

Imagine there's no …………..
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.
Imagine all the ………
Living life in ………...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the ……….. will be as one.

Imagine no possessions.
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger.
A brotherhood of……...
Imagine all the ……….
Sharing all the ………..

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the …………  will live as one.

MUSIC. How to analyze music. Level 2

How to Analyze Music.

To make a commentary about anything we hear, we should concentrate on seven very important elements.

a)      Genre.  We have to know if the music is:

a.       For instruments, voice, or both.

b.      Orchestral (more than ten instruments) or chamber (less than 10 instruments).

b)      Melody.  We have to ask ourselves if there is a melody, and if there is, how many.

c)      Rhythm.  One must say if the rhythm is monotone (always the same) or varied and the meter that the song has (binary, ternary, quaternary).

d)     Timber/Tone.  What instruments you hear.

e)      Are there changes in the dynamics (loud to soft or vice versa)? And of tempo (speed of the song)?

f)       Form.  Try to see if the melodies are distinct or if they repeat themselves.  Indicate with letters.

g)      Texture.  Music isn’t measured horizontally but rather vertically.  How many melodies do you hear at the same time?  If you only hear one, the texture is monophonic.  If you hear various, polyphonic.  In this second option it is possible that all the melodies are equally important (and so we say that there is Counterpoint) or that one is more important than the other (this is called Accompanied Melody).

h)      Lyrics.  In what is language is the song? What does the song tell us?

MUSIC I.Explanation. Qualities of the sounds

Qualities of sounds

Here is an idea for a learning process, which demonstrates the four qualities of sound: duration, intensity (dynamic), pitch and timbre.

1. Intensity (Dynamic):

Here too we present three degrees of intensity:

     a) A soft sound - which we mark by the letter: p (piano), or "s" (soft).
     b) An intermediate sound - which we mark by the letters: mf (mezzo-forte), or "i" (intermediate).
     c) A strong and loud sound - which we mark by the letter: f (forte), or "l" (loud).

2. Pitch:

Here too we present three degrees of pitch:

a) A low sound
b) An intermediate sound
c) A high sound

3. Duration:

Here too we present three degrees of duration:

___a) --------- a short sound (a quarter note) [one beat = V]
___b) ---------------- an intermediate sound (a half note) [two beats = V V]
___c) ------------------------------ a long sound (a whole note) [4 beats=V V V V]
4.Timbre

The timbre is characterized by changes in the colors of the sound. We can produce 3 types of sounds:

a) String instruments
b) Wind instruments
c) Percusive instruments
