Swelling? Or just Puffed-Up?

Swelling? Or just Puffed-Up?

Cadence.

Yes, at some point it comes to this.

Latin for "a falling". It is the end... of something (as Hemingway would say).

These ebbs and flows... the rising and falling of the tide. What excites you during the chorus of your favorite song. What makes you look up in church ( if you attend ).

There's two kinds -- rhythmic and melodic.

You can experience either ( or both ) of them in normal speech.

When someone asks you a question... do you not know it is a question because of their speech pattern?

When someone tells you a definitive thing... can you not hear it?

In music it is much more complex. Harmonics and math are involved and I don't wish to bore you with it just now. Takes a lot of brain function, and understanding of the history, musically, that got us to where we are now.

But I know you have felt it. In your favorite songs. Suspension. Anticipation. Resolution. How do they do that? Like commas and semi-colons, periods and question marks.

It's funny to me how easily we can be manipulated by vibrations in the air. Sounds, you know.

Forgive me, I'm not sure I have a point. Or even an idea here.

I just needed to punch-in a hundred words or more before I go and do something completely different.

Hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend. I'll be away taking care of a precious friend that needs attending.

What are you up to this weekend?

    Quoting  :
There IS a lilting cadence to Irish dialect English that I like too. Anthony Burgess claimed that Elizabethan English sounded a lot like Irish dialect English, and recited a bit on Dick Cavett's show. it was beautiful!

'K.

I'm zoning in on what we're talking about here.

Has little to do with music.

You know who can speak a fine sentence? The French. Just my $0.02.
