SIMILARITIES

DIFFERENCES

Adagio: Slow tempo Andante: Walking pace Moderato: Moderate tempo (faster than Andante, but not as fast as Allegro) Allegro: Lively, quick (not too fast) tempo Accelerando: Getting faster and faster Rallentando: Getting slower and slower Piano: Quiet Mezzo-forte: Quite loud Forte: Loud Crescendo: Getting louder Diminuendo: Getting quieter

Monophonic: One sound a single melodic line of notes without accompaniment Homophonic: Melody accompanied by chords, moving at the same time Polyphonic: More than one independent melody occurs at the same time Heterophonic: there is only one melody, but different variations of it are sung or played at the same time Metallophones: Any musical instrument consisting of tuned metal bars which are struck to make sound, usually with a mallet
