What is the rhythm in music?

Music rhythm: combining a disorderly beat stream into different patterns, combining different parts with different lengths and repeating them frequently, and performing the length and intensity of the middle scale, notes or syllables in the music melody. The rhythm of music is often compared to the skeleton of music.

Rhythm and beat always coexist in music, and music is organized by length, strength and the fixity and accuracy of their relationship. The beat is like a neat step in the team; Rhythm is like ever-changing drums. The relationship between sound lengths organized by strengths and weaknesses is called "rhythm"

Time periods with the same strength appear repeatedly in a certain order, which is called "beat". Beat is the periodic and regular repetition of repetitive beats and weak beats in music. In China's traditional music, the beat is called "Banyan", which is equivalent to strong beat, and "Eye" is equivalent to strong beat (middle eye) or weak beat.

Basic elements of music: the basic elements of music refer to various elements that constitute music, including the level of sound, the length of sound, the strength of sound, timbre and so on. These basic elements combine with each other to form the common "formal elements" of music, such as melody, rhythm, harmony, strength, speed, mode, shape, texture and timbre. The formal element that constitutes a musician is the means of expression of music. The most basic elements of music are melody and rhythm.

1. Melody: Melody is also called melody. The ups and downs of music are organized horizontally and methodically according to a certain rhythm, forming a tune. Tune is the most important means of expression of music, and it is the essence and decisive factor of music. The direction of melody is endless, and there are three basic directions: "horizontal", "upper" and "lower". The direction of the same sound is called horizontal; Accent upward from bass to treble; Drop from high notes to low notes.

2. Rhythm: The rhythm of music refers to the length and strength of sound in music movement. The rhythm of music is often compared to the skeleton of music. Beat is the periodic and regular repetition of repetitive beats and weak beats in music. Traditional music in China calls the beat "board eye", and "board" is equivalent to strong beat; "Eye" is equivalent to the second strong beat (middle eye) or weak beat.

3. Harmony: Harmony includes "chord" and "harmonic progression". Chords are usually sound combinations formed by three or more notes overlapping vertically (simultaneously) according to certain rules. The transverse organization of chords is harmonic progression. Harmony has obvious functions of strong, light, thick and thin colors; It also has the functions of forming clauses, dividing paragraphs and ending music.

4. Intensity: the intensity of the midrange in music.

5. Speed: the speed of music.

6. Mode: The tones used in music are connected according to a certain relationship, and these tones form a system centered on one tone (tonic), which is called mode. Such as China's major mode, minor mode and pentatonic mode. The tones in the mode are arranged from the tonic to the highest tone to form a scale.

7. Form: the horizontal organizational structure of music.

8. Texture: the combination form of each voice in a multi-voice music work. (including vertical combination and horizontal combination).

9. timbre: timbre can be divided into vocal timbre and instrumental timbre. In the timbre of human voice, it can be divided into children's voice, female voice and male voice. The difference of musical instrument timbre is even more varied. In music, sometimes only a single timbre is used, and sometimes a mixed timbre is used.
