And she cried and she died in his arms
And he cried nevermore

Shedding skin
I've been picking my scabs again

little music theory trivia. my old roommate majored in music and we would discuss music theory all through the night. fascinating stuff. kinda fun for a music nerd like me.


1. There are three kinds of minor scales. Natural and harmonic are two of them. Which is the third?

melodic
modulated
mixolydian
mixed




SPOILERS! (Click to view)

The difference between the three minor scales lies in which notes are lowered. A natural minor scale lowers the third, sixth and seventh notes both when the scale is played ascending and descending. Harmonic minor scales lower the third and sixth notes when the scale is played, both ascending and descending. The melodic minor lowers only the third when played ascending, and lowers the seventh, sixth and third when played descending.





2. Name the instrumental form generally consisting of 3 sections - exposition, development and recapitulation.

Canon
Sonata
Chorale
Etude


SPOILERS! (Click to view)
The answer is Sonata
Each movement differs in rhythm, melody and tempo but their style and subject hold them together.



3. 4. What term is used to indicate that the music should get gradually
softer? (easy one for Frankus. wink

donatello
da capo
divinsi
diminuedo


SPOILERS! (Click to view)

The answer is diminuedo. It comes from the Italian meaning lessening. Divinisi describes when players who normal play in unison play different notes. Da Capo means repeat from the beginning of music.
