Musical Articulations

1 2 3 4 5

1) Staccato – light and detached. Literally, ½ of the rhythmic duration.

a. We say “di” to mimic the sound of this articulation.

b. In jazz, this is often “dit” ending the note with the tongue.

2) Legato – smooth and connected. Play for the “full value” or literally until you touch the

next note or rest. The default articulation in a slow ballad or chorale style piece is

legato.

a. We say “doo” to mimic the sound of this articulation.

3) Marcato – Heavy and detached. Literally to perform with emphasis. This is considered

an air attack for wind instruments.

a. We say “Da” to mimic the sound of this articulation.

4) Martellato – Heavy and detached BUT stop the sound with your tongue.

a. We say “Dut” to mimic the sound of this articulation.

5) Fermata – HOLD the note and WATCH THE CONDUCTOR for a release.

� Subdivide

__________________________________________________________________________________

o In the case of 8th and 16th note beat patterns,

you should subdivide each beat into two.

o When you see triplet beat patterns,

you should subdivide each beat into three.

o Mature musicians can subdivide in groups

of two and three successively.

� Half Steps and Whole Steps

_________________________________________________________________________________

� Scales

__________________________________________________________________________________

o Also sometimes called the “key”.

o Major scales have a pattern of Whole Step, W, Half Step, W, W, W, and H.

Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

W W H W W W H

� Key Signature (Review from Unit 3)

__________________________________________________________________________________

o Major Key Signatures use an order or flats and sharps.

1) The order of flats: BEADGCF

• An easy way to remember: “BEAD” “Greatest Common Factor”

2) The order of sharps: FCGDAEB

• An easy way to remember: “Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Bugs”

� Modulation

__________________________________________________________________________________

o When a modulation occurs, there is often a change in the key signature.

Synthesize!

1) Draw the subdivisions under each measure.

2) Circle the Key Signatures in the staff. At what note does the modulation occur? ___

3) Write the note names above each measure.

a. Circle the note names that have half steps between them.
