6673365765Cadencea sequence of notes or chords comprising the close of a musical phrase0
6673380442Cadential extensionthe prolongation (post-cadential extension) or delay (pre-cadential extension) of a cadence by the addition of material beyond (i.e. before or after) the point at which the cadence is expected.1
6673392855Codathe concluding passage of a piece or movement, typically forming an addition to the basic structure.2
6673421785CodettaA codetta ("little coda") is a brief conclusion, a dominant-tonic cadence at the end of the exposition that may be repeated several times for emphasis.3
6673440854ContourContour typically applies to melody, meaning what is the general shape of the melody--does it ascend, descend, etc.4
6673462155Countermelodya subordinate melody accompanying a principal one.5
6673472859(Phrase) Elisionwhen the last note of one phrase serves as the first note of another phrase.6
6673493743Fragmented Motivebreaking up motive into smaller fragments, any of which can be used for further development7
6673512579Augmentationa compositional device where a melody, theme or motif is presented in longer note-values than were previously used.8
6673515826Conjuncta step, or conjunct motion, is the difference in pitch between two consecutive notes of a musical scale. In other words, it is the interval between two consecutive scale degrees. A conjunct motion consists of mainly stepwise motion9
6673529056Diminutionthe restatement of a melody in which the note values are shortened, usually by half.10
6673543194DisjunctProgressing melodically by intervals larger than a major second. Opposite of conjunct movement.11
6673563073Phrase Extensionwhen a motive from the final phrase member is repeated before the phrase reaches its conclusive cadence., or when a phrase's cadence is repeated12
6673579863Fragmentationthe use of fragments or the "division of a musical idea (gesture, motive, theme, etc.) into segments.13
6673587496Internal Expansionmotivic repetition within the basic idea: a motive or other small melodic figure is repeated, either exactly or with simple embellishment, causing the overall length of the sub-phrase to be larger than the expected.14
6673612307Melodic InversionWhere the original melody goes up by an interval, the inverted melody goes down by the same interval- upward motion becomes downward motion and visa versa.15
6673621670Literal Repetitionsequences are repeated, indicated by repeat sign, capo or segno.16
6673638601Motivic Transformationchanging the theme by using permutation (transposition or modulation, inversion, and retrograde), augmentation, diminution, and fragmentation.17
6673679327Octave Displacementplacing notes in different octaves.18
6673683464Retrogradeliterally means "backwards and upside down": "The inverse of the series is sounded in reverse order." Retrograde reverses the order of the motive's pitches: what was the first pitch becomes the last, and vice versa.19
6673727582Sequencethe restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice. It is one of the most common and simple methods of elaborating a melody20
6673744676Sequential Repetitionthe repetition of one motif or idea in which each successive repetition of the pattern is a transposition of the original21
6673758074Transpositionthe process, or operation, of moving a collection of notes (pitches or pitch classes) up or down in pitch by a constant interval (ex. changing key)22
6673770617TruncationShortening of a musical phrase.23
6727388930Strophic FormStrophic form (also called "verse-repeating" or chorus form) is the term applied to songs in which all verses or stanzas of the text are sung to the same music.24
6727394621Through-composedThe opposite of strophic form, with new music written for every stanza.25
6727403065Tuttia term for the whole orchestra as opposed to the soloist. It is applied similarly to choral music, where the whole section or choir is called to sing.26
6727427103Authentic CadenceA progression from V to I. In a perfect authentic cadence, all chords are in root position and the soprano voice ends on scale degree 1. In an imperfect authentic cadence, the chords may be inverted and the soprano voice can end on pitches other than do.27
6727449807Deceptive CadenceA chord progression where the dominant chord is followed by a chord other than the tonic chord (most commonly: V to vi)28
6727462036Half Cadenceends the phrase on a dominant chord (V)29
6727471659Phrygian Half CadenceIn minor, when the first inversion of the 4/subdominant chord is followed by the dominant chord (iv6-V)30
6727487190Plagal CadenceIV to I31
6745794472Anacrusisone or more unstressed syllables before the first bar line of a piece or passage32

7298465004Standing WaveThe wave oscillates vertically and remains fixed. The crests and troughs no longer travel down the length of the string.58
7298465005Longitudinal WaveA wave the travels and oscillates in the same direction. (i.e sound waves)59
7298465006IntensityThe rate at which sound waves transmit energy, per unit area.60
7298465007Decibels (dB)The loudness of sound.61
7298465008BeatWhen two waves interfere constructively, producing an increase in sound level.62
7298465009Beat FrequencyEqual to the difference between the frequencies of the two combining sounds.63
7298465010Doppler EffectThe shift in frequency and wavelength that occurs when the source and detector are in relative motion.64
7298465011Electric ChargeA quality had by protons and electrons that gives them an attractive force.65
7298465012ChargedOccurs when an imbalance between the numbers of protons and electrons exists.66
7298465013Coulomb's Law67
7298465014Electric FieldThe presence of charge creates an ___________ ___________ in the space that surrounds it.68
7298465015Gravitational FieldThe space surrounding the Earth a permeated by a ___________ ____________ that's created by the Earth.69
7298465016Electric DipoleWhen two equal but opposite charges form a pair.70
7298465017ConductorsMaterials that permit the flow of excess charge.71
7298465018InsulatorsA material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely.72
7298465019SuperconductorA material that offers no resistance to the flow of charges.73
7298465020Ohm's Law74
7298465021Direct CurrentWhen a current always travels in the same direction through the pathway.75
7298465022VoltageThe thing that creates current.76
7298465023Kirchhoff's First Law (The Junction Rule) (The Node Rule)Says that the total current that enters a junction must equal the total current that leaves the junction.77
7298465024Kirchhoff's Second Law (The Loop Rule)Says that the sum of the potential differences (positive and negative) That traverse any closed loop in a circuit must be zero.78
7298465025Net ForceThe single force that could replace all the individual acting on an object and produce the same effect. Forces acting in the same direction add to together to make this.79
7298465026Restoring ForceAny force that always pushed an object toward an equilibrium position.80
