Western Music Terms
- Diminuendo
[deh-meen-yoo-ehn-doh] (Italian) "Diminishing."Indicates a gradual
decrease in volume.Synonymous with decrescendo. May be indicated by a symbol
called a "hairpin" (>) or abbreviated as "dim."
- Dissonance
The sounding of two or more tones which
produce an effect of harshness or instability, and demand
"resolution" to a consonance. Like consonance, the concept of dissonance is
dependent upon both context and the way our ears have been cultured. Some
intervals considered dissonant in the Medieval period
were found to be consonant during the Renaissance. Also, the way a dissonance is
resolved (and even the way it is orchestrated) can decrease or intensify how
"harsh" it sounds. Intervals commonly considered dissonant in tonal
music are the major and minor seconds and sevenths.
