Music is a art of sound and silence. common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.
- Pitch is an auditory perceptual property that allows the orderingof sounds on a frequency related scale.
- Melody is tune, voice, or line, is a linear succession of musical tones which is perceived as a single entity.
- Harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches (tones, notes), or chords
- Rhythm may be generally defined as a "movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions
- Tempo is the speed or pace of a given piece
- Meter is the number of lines in a verse, the number of syllables in each line and the arrangement of those syllables as long or short, accented or unaccented
- Articulation the musical direction performance technique which affects the transition or continuity on a single note or between multiple notes or sounds.
- Dynamics is he volume of a sound or note, but can also refer to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic (staccato, legato etc.) or functional (velocity)
- Timbre is the quality of a musical note or sound or tone that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices and musical instruments
- Texture is the way the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition, thus determining the overall quality of sound of a piece
