Terminology:

Atonal -
Music that avoids a strict tonal center, music that lacks any real sense of “home” to the ear.

Canon (semi-canonic) -
Overlapping imitative lines in music

Appoggiatura -
A non-chord based note or ornament to the music that suspends or delays going to the ear’s desired note. Meant to create a sort of yearning sensation.

Terminology:

Augmented Second - 
An interval between the first and second note of a typical Major scale that has the second note raised by one half-step higher than it naturally appears.

Double Reed Instrument - 
An instrument in which two pieces of cane vibrating against each other create the sound/resonance.

Doublings - 
The same notes are played by multiple instruments across the orchestra to increase weight, size, and presence.

Terminology:

Minor-moded -
Built on a musical language or distances between notes that naturally sounds somber, reflective, or mournful rather than bright or triumphant.

Minor triad - 
Three notes played together that, because of the ratios of distance between them, form the emotional core of a sad or serious sound.

Raised fourth - 
A raised fourth is a note that sits just outside of the typical “expected” harmony, creating a subtle sense of tension and unease.

Two harmonic regions at once - 
This means the music briefly suggests two different emotional or tonal “places” at the same time instead of committing to one.

A Minor and F Minor - 
Examples of collections of 7 different notes that, because of the distances between each note in sequence, result in a more sombre, sad, or melancholy tone.

A♭ (enharmonic relationship) - 
This refers to a pitch that is technically the same sound as another note but spelled differently to allow for written clarity in the music.

Added ninth - 
An extra note layered onto a chord that often is characterized as softening the sound without fully resolving the tension beneath it.
