Music and Dance: Unit Review

Body, space, time, energy and relationship.

Example: solid = tight, angular shape vibrating in place at a low level; liquid = smooth, flowing movement along a curved pathway; gas = light, fast movement spreading out at a high level in a zigzag pathway.

Literal copies exactly what something looks like (like mime). Abstract shows the feeling or main idea.

A short movement that stands for a character or idea and is repeated (and sometimes changed) through the dance.

Change the character's motif: make it bigger, smaller, faster, slower or more open or closed.

Answers will vary. Example: "The tortoise reminds me of when I kept practising my swimming every week until I passed my level."

A form where one dancer or group performs a movement (call) and another dancer or group answers it (response). They take turns.

Example: a fast, sharp, low movement, like quick stamps or a sudden curl.

In canon, everyone does the same phrase starting at different times, so it overlaps. In call and response, dancers take turns and the response can be different.

Everyone doing the same movement at the same time.

Mirroring: face to face, like a reflection. Shadowing: one dancer behind the other, facing the same way, copying at the same time.

Any of: near each other, mirroring, complementary shapes, moving in unison, connected shapes (holding hands).

Example: "I used near and far clearly to show two friends drifting apart, and my family understood the idea."

The hope for good luck and good fortune in the new year, and chasing away bad luck.

Any two: music videos, social media dance challenges, ads, movies and TV, video games, Olympic breaking, fashion and words like crew and battle.

Because it has deep spiritual meaning for the community. We learn about it with respect.

6 eighth notes; big beats on 1 and 4.

Yes: 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 6.

1½ beats.

Dotted rhythms (long-short), a quick tempo, forte dynamics and the bright timbre of brass.

ti-ka ti.

A short pattern that repeats.

Example: "Pick up" = ti-ti, "lit-ter," = ti-ti, "keep it" = ti-ti, "clean!" = ta. Or "Pick up lit-ter" = ti-ka-ti-ka in one beat. Any answer works if each beat adds up to one beat.

A, C, E, G (All Cows Eat Grass).

G major and E minor.

Lines = strings (top line = thinnest, highest string). Numbers = frets to press (0 = open string).

G.

pp, p, mf, ff.

Give the note an extra push so it stands out.

Yes: the A section comes back between each new section (B, C, D).

Music words and reasons (and often a personal connection).

Antonio Vivaldi, in the Baroque period.

In Trinidad and Tobago.

The parts are not balanced. Sing or play softer and listen to your partner's part while you perform.

Jingles are short and catchy, so people remember the product.

Blending two or more styles into something new. Example: The Halluci Nation blends powwow drumming and singing with electronic dance music.

Any two, for example: powwow drum: played by a group of singers around one drum, leads the dancers at powwows; djembe: hand drum from West Africa, for celebrations and dancing; qilaut: Inuit frame drum, struck on the rim at gatherings; snare drum: marching bands and ceremonies.
