motion

Melodic motion is the quality of movement of a melody, including nearness or farness of successive pitches or notes in a melody. This may be described as conjunct or disjunct, stepwise, skipwise or no movement, respectively. See also contrapuntal motion.

In traditional four-part harmony, it is important that lines maintain their independence, an effect which can be achieved by the judicious use of the four types of contrapuntal motion: parallel motion, similar motion, contrary motion, and oblique motion.

In similar motion, also called direct motion, two voices move in the same direction, but by different intervals. For example, the following two voices both move down, but the upper voice moves by step while the lower voice moves by leap.

Parallel motion is a specific type of similar motion and occurs when both voices move in the same direction by the same interval - both up by step, or both down by a third.

We can define motion as the change of position of an object with respect to time. A book falling off a table, water flowing from the tap, rattling windows, etc., all exhibit motion. Even the air that we breathe exhibits motion! Everything in the universe moves.

the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.

In the world of mechanics, there are four basic types of motion. These four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating. Each one moves in a slightly different way and each type of achieved using different mechanical means that help us understand linear motion and motion control.

Rectilinear, Circular and Periodic motion For example : Motion of train on track, motion of ants in a straight path,motion of freely falling stone from top of the building towards the ground. Circular Motion: Motion of object in a circular path is called circular motion.

What are Newton's Laws of Motion? An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

'Motion in Music' is a study of movement and time through musical interpretation. It looks at ways in which motion, both physical and conceptual, is featured in the musical performance and it is, therefore, written with the performance of music in mind.

Parallel motion occurs when both lines move in the same direction and at the same intervals. This is fine, as long as the sustained interval between the lines isn't a fifth or an octave. Similar motion occurs when two voices move in the same direction but at different interval.

First, the perfect authentic cadence: both chords are in 'root position' (the root note is the lowest note in the chord) and the melody is the highest note of the chord. This is the strongest harmonic motion you can achieve, good for grounding the music at critical moments such as the very end.
