English for Music Students: Basics

Thanks so much Suuny!

A book designed to German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Japanese and Chinese, because of the absence of latin. Since the terms of music comes from Latin: Italian and French and non latin: German. By the way, Mozart was the first germanic composer to refuse to use the terms of Italian language, as the Russians loved using the French terms.

In the past Native English should harm their brains to learn the latin terms of music, ironically used until today, specially 99% in classic music. Ex: Cadence, Outro, Progression, Chorus, Stanza, Refrain, Tempo, Meter, Ametric, Rhythm, Polyrhythm, Hemiola, Intro, Arpeggio, Improvise, Accent, Ostinato, . From Greek: Syncopation, Synphonia, Synchronous. And the word Chord , comes from Corda f.Gr. χορδή [Cordi] that means String

But popular music still is confusing words like refrain and chorus, for some refrain do not exists. This book brang important issues about it.

By the way, Italian is the most pure Latin language of the world, Italy was the birthplace of Latin, so we really can't say, that we use Italian terms, but Latin terms with Italian suffixes endings.
Italian people, Spanish and Portuguese people understand them selves, because all languages are pure Latin. If they do a three months course, they are able to any talk easily. Also English language that has 34% of pure Latin, because of the Frisians Folk, that formed this language, so if you want to learn Russian, don't be afraid, 4000 thousand important English words mixed with Latin or pure Latin are the same used in Russian, just Russians suffixes endings were adapted to it.

A Chorus is the summary of your song's story
The chorus is that part of a song listeners will judge first, the famous Pink Floyd song with its chorus of kids chanting ’’We Don’t Need No Education’’

The good is that this book tell us what is Refrain, as written:
A recurring phrase, especially at the end of each verse of a song; the music accompanying this

This book says about [Outro]:
the concluding section of a piece of music

I would say the same for refrain:
"The concluding section of a verse"

Better to study English, but this book is worth on some points that is, when we learn english, we do not learn that the word measure is translated differently to architecture, physics or music. For native english speakers, that´s no difference.

Too much to learn inside.
