musical notes (part 1)
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 || 12:07 AM
Okay, hello guys. I'll be posting about a tutorial on basic music notes and symbols. This tutorial is for those who can't read or understand the basic notes/symbols, and what they mean. For those who already know what the scores are saying, please bear with me.
Below are some of the common notes you'll find in the scores. For example, in Like An Eagle, you'll find :
1 beat = crotchet or quarter note
2 beats = minim or half note
3 beats = dotted note
4 beats = semibreve or whole note (which is quite long, apparantly)
This extract can be found in Like An Eagle too.
The one above is the crescando(to grow louder), and the one below is the decrescando(to grow softer). When Mr Lim is conducting, you'll find him doing the crescando when he widens the space between his palms.
You'll find these letters when the lyrics to the songs begins. 'P' stands for piano, which in Latin means 'soft'. 'F' stands for forte, meaning 'loud'.
'MP' stands for mezzo-piano, meaning 'moderately soft'. 'MF' is for mezzo-forte meaning 'moderately loud'. If it's 'PP', it means pianissimo, while 'FF' stands for fortissimo. Both of them mean 'very soft' and 'very loud' respectively.
If you see something going 'PPP', meaning pianissimo possibile, it's telling you to go as soft as you can. We're unlikely to see that in our scores.
I'll post up part 2 soon. I'll go into what those notes mean then. x_x
But for now ..
A VOCALOID music video. VOCALOID's made by Yamaha, and yes, it's about vocals. :D
For this to happen, Yamaha synthesizes the voice actors' voices, so they sound like robots. But not all the human voices sound really like robots, and there are more than just one VOCALOID character. Check out more about VOCALOID, if you can.
Plus, they're made to reduce the number of human errors made when singing a song. The song above, if you didn't know, was Requim Lacrimosa by Mozart. If I'm not wrong, the meaning should be something like; 'day of tears'. Anyway, two guys are singing this song, if you didn't know. xD
