How music works Part 2

Part 2

1. An interval is a combination of two notes, or the ratio between their frequencies. (интервал)
 A semitone, also called a half step or a half tone, is the smallest musical interval commonly used in Western tonal music, and it is considered the most dissonant when sounded harmonically. It is defined as the interval between two adjacent notes in a 12-tone scale (e.g. from C to C). This implies that its size is exactly or approximately equal to 100 cents, a twelfth of an octave. (полутон)
 А whole tone is a scale in which each note is separated from its neighbors by the interval of a whole step.(целотонный)
2. The experiment: He's trying to sing 2 whole tones and then 2 semitones. He claims, that it is easier for people to sing the whole tones rather than semitones.
3. The composer it is also a story-teller, who describes his own feelings with music.
4. In the theory of Western music, mode (from Latin modus, "measure, standard, manner, way, size, limit of quantity, method") (Powers 2001, Introduction; OED) generally refers to a type of scale. (Лад)
5. Aeolian is the sixth mode, beginning on A. It is also called the "natural minor scale". It consists of an A (the tonic), B (a major second), C (a minor third), D (a perfect fourth), E (a perfect fifth), F (a minor sixth), G (a minor seventh), and the upper octave, A. The Aeolian mode sounds solemn and sorrowful.
6. " to sharpen the note"- повышать ноту " to flatten the note"-понижать ноту.
