Directions: Encircle all the musical terms found in the song The Symphony of Praise

The composer and conductor of the universe

Steps before the orchestra of God
Creation lifts their finely crafted instruments
As all in heaven wildly applaud.
The seasons well rehearsed begin with His downbeat
And on his cue the sun trumpets the dawn
The whirling winds swell in a mighty crescendo
With each commanding sweep of His baton.
The oceans pound the shore in march to His cadence

5
 The galaxies all revolve in cosmic rhyme
The fall of raindrops all in wild syncopation
As lightning strikes and thunder claps in time.
The symphony of praise
Conducted by the Ancient of Days
May each creation great or small
Lift their voices one and all
In the symphony of praise.
Heaven waits in hushed anticipation
The great I am then turns to mortal men A
massive chorus robed in spotless garments
Offer up their song of praise to Him
The glories of God explode in full orchestration
As all creation joins the thunderous refrain
"Worthy, Worthy
WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN"

V. What is it?
MUSICAL ELEMENTS AND STYLE

Rhythm - It is the most important element of music. It is the lifeblood of

music. It is the flow or movement of sound through time
Ex. 2 3
4 ♫♫│♪♪♪♪║ 4 ♪♪♪♪♪♪│♫♫♫║

Pitch- In music, the pitch of the notes means

how high or how low the note is.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqq0HLgfD

Dynamics - it refers to the softness or loudness of the sound

P (Piano)- means soft
mp (Mezzo Piano) - means moderately soft
pp (pianissimo) -means very soft
F (Forte) - means loud
Mf (mezzo forte) - means moderately
loud

6
 Style - it refers on how music is played or
expected to sound.
Example:
Pop music, Jazz, country music, folk music,
hiphop, pop rock, classical etc.

Form - it is the overall structure and organization of the musical

composition.

Harmony and texture go well together because harmony blends the

tones while texture adds depth and color to the melody. Musical texture
refers to the various layers of sound heard all at the same time.
Kinds of textures in music:
1. Monophonic - it means one sound. It is a single musical line
without any accompaniment.
2. Homophonic - It uses instrument like guitar or piano as an
accompaniment.
3. Polyphonic - This kind of music produces a texture that contain
two or more independent musical lines which
means having many sounds..
