Musical Terminology

When a group of instruments or singers play or sing in such a way that the entire ensemble has a characteristic sound, without individual instruments or voices that stand out, the group is well blended. Blend is a very desirable quality in most music, but is difficult to achieve.

There are 16 semiquavers in a semibreve.

It means that you need a very full sound with the instrument. When it is played lots of air support is needed but you don't want to be playing fortissimo (ff).

2/4 is an example of a time signature.

The top number tells you how many beats are in the bar, in this example 2.

The bottom of the time signature tells you what type of beats they are: in this case they are crotchet beats because of the 4. 2 on the bottom means minum beats, you can sometimes get 1 for semibreves and 8 is for measuring in quaver beats. These are the most common I think.

If you have 8 on the bottom and the top number is a multiple of 3 I think you tend to count in dotted crotchet beats. You divide the top number by 3 to get the number of dotted crotchet beats per bar. I.e. 9/8 is 3 dotted crotchet beats per bar.

I apologise for going off on a tangent there but hope that's useful too. So, 2/4 means 2 crotchet beats per bar. (It's simple duple time; duple because there are two beats in a bar and simple because they are crotchet beats. Dotted crotchet beats would make it compound).

there are two main usage of the term, "classical". first,it is a term that denotes historical period of development. In music and other branches of arts, this period implies the general characteristics of harmony, balance, simplicity and elegance, which took place from 1750 to 1800. among the famous composers of the classical period were Mozart and Haydn.

The second usage the one that refers to the name of the musical genre - classical music, that covers a very wide range of musical styles and period, whether baroque, classical, or romantic, with a general impression of elegance, grandeur and majesty. Therefore, every musical work that is written especially on the common practice era, 1600-1900, can be classified as classical. although medieval chants and rennaissance motets like that of Da Pallestrina can also appear in the classical music genre, there is still no justification of confusion, because they are still one of the fore fathers and great foundations of musical development aside from what have been mentioned above. In other words, in order for a composition to be classified as classical, they must posses any or whole of the following classical characteristics mentioned above, second, they must be written between 1600-1900, third, must be one of the musical styles where our present and contemporary and pop music forms of the modern day, evolved and lastly, must be sacred in nature, because, generally sacred music always fall on the classical category.

the term classical also denotes zenith and golden age, so in a historical perspective, classical era is used! for example, the period of enlightenment during the early baroque period is also termed as classical revival, whereas, it is the golden age of reasoning! now, the difference between classical Greek and Roman is their origin. obviously, classical style with a greek origin can be called as classical Greek and for Rome, classical roman.
