A. If I were you, I would go onto YouTube or another Internet video site, and type in "Dr. No. theme song piano" You'll hopefully get many videos of people playing the theme on the piano. And if you luck out, they'll play the dynamics! Hopefully that works :) Good luck

In choral music, can you put the dynamics on top if they're getting in the way of the lyrics?
Q. I thought there was a rule that the dynamics were always on the bottom, but i'm trying to write lyrics for a choral arrangement and they're getting in the way. Would I get marked down (it's a year 12 assignment!) if I put them on top? Thanks!

A. I believe that music has changed so many times over the years that most songwriters have to write songs with feelings and moods in mind. As for the rule of dynamics being on the bottom...I have seen quite a few songs that have put that rule aside.

A. There are a bunch...the obvious place to get them all would the Groves Dictionary. The common ones for dynamics are P for soft,means piano..PP means softer..pianissimo , PPP ,very soft...pianississimo..etc for degree of dynamic,,,the other way is MF,mezzoforte...medium loud...F ..forte ..loud,,, FF, louder..fortissimo... FFF..very loud etc. Some others ..sfz.s'vortzando(sp?)..h it it loud and get off and bring to back up...subito...suddenly,,, poco a poco a little by little,,,Tempo phrases include... andante-slow,,,adagio-slo wer,,,...allegro-fast,, allegretto faster...these are the ones that come to mind right off the top... But again check out the groves dictionary or ask your music teacher...Hoped this helped you out...one more ,ca [cont.]

Do professional singers REALLY need to know ALL the dynamics of music?
Q. There's little kids who sing with really good tone and pitch but they know not a thing about music. I'm sort of the same way. I still take out the time to try to study music theory but it's so much to learn. If you're a musician/vocalist, you know what I mean. It's like too much to comprehend. I know the basic fundamentals of music, but I don't see the importance of knowing them. The only thing that is important to me is knowing pitch,range, and developing an ear. That's it! Why does music/singing have to be so practical? Is all the extra stuff beneficial or for convenience, or does it really effect how well you succeed in the music industry? Is it really that necessary? I'd really like to know to see if I should major in music theory… [cont.]

A. 1. Expression marks in music notation for articulation, dynamics, octaves, ornaments, or tempo 2. In musical terminology, tempo (Italian for 'time, movement') is the speed or pace of a given piece. It is an extremely crucial element of sound, as it can affect the mood and difficulty of a piece. 3. In music, dynamics normally refers to the volume of a sound or note, but can also refer to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic (staccato, legato etc.) or functional (velocity). The term is also applied to the written or printed musical notation used to indicate dynamics.

Music editing -- dynamics?
Q. I want to lower the volume of the loud parts of a song, and make the quieter parts louder. Right now, it can be annoying to be barely able to hear the quiet sections, but then have to turn down the blaringly loud parts. So far, I don't think any of my audio editing software has a tool that could do this, or I just haven't found it. It is possible to manually select blocks of the audio file to amplify/lower, but that would be tedious and it would be easier to hear when the "blocks" end if you know what I mean. Are there any programs that can do what I am talking about, or maybe a common name for a tool that there might be in some software like Audacity, etc? Any help would be appreciated - thanks!
Asked by Bootlegger_bob_the_gangster - Thu Apr 9 17:22:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The type of tool you are looking for is a compressor. In the case of Audacity it is actually a peak limiter. Using the following method all the loud sections are lowered in level then the overall level is raised to compensate. Open the file. Click, hold and drag to highlight the whole file. Select "compressor" from the Effects menu. Adjust the compression ratio. Ensure the "apply gain after compressing" box is ticked. Try 2:1 ratio first. If not enough ctrl+z to undo then try 4:1. Too heavy a compression ratio at one time can affect the sound so if you need a ratio of 8:1 it's best to compress at 4:1 twice. You may need the Lame codec if you need to encode to mp3 when you export the file to this format. The encoding bitrate is… [cont.]

A. Tutoring generally works best, although I learned in a string class with every type of string instrument. Of course, I was eleven. Now I take private lessons along with the full class I started in, and that helps a lot. I've seen five year olds go in and play simple songs, so I'd say reasearch private lessons. There are the very expensive ones, but they're generally as good as the less expensive ones.

Learning to sing...what are dynamics and how do you develop your own style?
Q. I was reading a article that I saved under my favorites on my computer because I found it rather interesting. It states in the article that anyone can learn how to sing and be a good singer by learning the fundamentals of singing. It says to become a great singer you have to add dynamics and a style that's all your own. Now, I hear different singers all the time. How do you find a style that you know you like when you are looking for a style. Every Pop star, Every RandB artist, none of their styles are the same even though they fall under the same category of music. How do you look for a style? Also what is Dynamics and what do they mean by this word as terms of singing?

Asked by hannah - Fri Jul 11 04:50:21 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Tempo, dynamics, phrasing, and even pitch indications are all relative. The sheet music says to play an A major scale at a loud volume (f) at a fast tempo (Allegro) with sort articulations of the notes (staccato). Your job as the player: how loud is loud? How fast is fast? How short is short? And what emphasis do you want to give on the precise pitches of the notes? For example, a flute player will have several fingerings for each note which produce slightly different sounds due to differences in intonation; a violinist or other string player will tell you that they don't finger an Ab the same way they finger a G# even though they are considered to be the same note. It is these subtle differences in musical choice that create the… [cont.]

Do any other authors use music as a means of evoking an emotion required to write a passage?
Q. Basically what the title suggests, do authors use music to evoke the emotions needed to write an emotional passage or scene in their works? I have used this method before and found that it creates a more dynamic and interesting writing because the emotions felt by the characters are being felt by the author, creating a more believable experience.

A. I don't know if this directly addresses your concerns, but I have noticed over years of time that fanfiction authors often use the theme of a song, either its lyrics or music or both, to structure short stories and create a feel inside themselves to attach non-original characters to. I'm sure this is probably used by original character authors as well, as it is a valid method of creation. However, as songs are mostly short and more a musing on an underlying theme, they should not be used as more than the dressing for a passage as you say. They are a great device for tying in a scene to a larger theme, though. Tolkien's works are filled with original songs that evoke an emotional link to the past of Middle Earth or Valinor, and his legend… [cont.]
