MUS 142 Chapter Notes - Chapter 18: Diminution, Elision, Contrapuntal Motion
Document Summary
Cadential extension: an extension created by repeating the cadence with a little new or elaborative melodic material. Coda: a section at the end of a piece, following a strong cadence, that extends the tonic area before bringing the piece to a close. Codetta: a little coda at the end of a section or piece. Hypermeter: a high-level metric grouping that interprets groups of measures like they are beats of a single measure. Lead-in: a musical passage that connects the end of one melodic phrase to the next. Metric reinterpretation: a disruption in the established hypermetric pattern at the cadence. (ex: a measure acts as the strong and weak beat) Modulating period: a period whose consequent phrase modulates, leading to an authentic cadence in a different key from the antecedent phrase. Can be characterized by their pitches, contour, and/or rhythm, but rarely contain a cadence.
