How Music Works - Part 2 - Rhythm

Here's the 2nd hour in the series, all about Rhythm.

Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμός – rhythmos, "any regular recurring motion, symmetry") is a "movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions." In other words, rhythm is simply the timing of the musical sounds and silences. While rhythm most commonly applies to sound, such as music and spoken language, it may also refer to visual presentation, as "timed movement through space."

  1. That was fascinating! I think I learned a tiny bit, although most of the time I still felt like a dog trying to understand color :) Thanks for posting though! Makes me curious to look up the remaining parts of the series....
