本文是 Year 9 WJEC 音乐的精简复习手册,汇集了所有基本的音乐“公式”与“定理”——即支配节奏、音高和结构的规则。把它看作你的音乐数学速查表:从音符时长的计算方程到音阶构造的配方,从音程的算术到和弦的积木块,再到终止式的模式。每个概念都以一条清晰的陈述或公式呈现,并附有简短说明,让你能快速调取在听觉分析、评估和作曲任务中所需的事实。
1. Note Value Mathematics | 音符时值的数学
inim = 2 crotchets; 1 crotchet = 2 quavers; 1 quaver = 2 semiquavers. Rests follow the same relationships.
全音符是基本单位,所有其他音符时值都是它的分数。基本等式:1 个全音符 = 2 个二分音符;1 个二分音符 = 2 个四分音符;1 个四分音符 = 2 个八分音符;1 个八分音符 = 2 个十六分音符。休止符遵循同样的关系。
ot adds half of the half: double dotted minim = minim + crotchet + quaver. Tied notes sum their durations: tie formula: Total duration = value₁ + value₂.
附点音符公式:附点增加原音符时值的一半。因此,附点二分音符 = 二分音符 + 四分音符(在单拍子里为 3 个四分音符拍)。复附点再加一半的一半:复附点二分音符 = 二分音符 + 四分音符 + 八分音符。连音线将时值相加:连音线公式:总时长 = 时值₁ + 时值₂。
Triplet rule: three notes played in the time of two of the same kind. The triplet sign '3' of a normal quaver. Group of 3 triplet quavers occupies one crotchet beat in simple time.
三连音规则:用三个音符演奏通常两个同类音符的时间。三连音标记“3”压缩了时值:每个三连音八分音符 = 正常八分音符的 (2/3)。三个三连音八分音符的组合在单拍子中占一个四分音符拍。
2. Time Signature Theorem | 拍号定理
nim). Simple time: beats divide naturally into two equal parts. Compound time: beats divide into three equal parts (dotted beat).
拍号以类似分数的符号表示:上方数字 = 每小节的拍数;下方数字 = 拍子类型(4 = 四分音符,8 = 八分音符,2 = 二分音符)。单拍子:拍子自然地分成两个相等部分。复拍子:拍子分成三个相等部分(附点节拍)。
otchet beats (each beat = 3 quavers); 9/8 = three dotted crotchet beats; 12/8 = four dotted crotchet beats.
单拍子举例:2/4 = 两个四分音符拍;3/4 = 三个四分音符拍;4/4(C)= 四个四分音符拍。复拍子举例:6/8 = 两个附点四分音符拍(每拍 = 3 个八分音符);9/8 = 三个附点四分音符拍;12/8 = 四个附点四分音符拍。
Irregular time: 5/4, 7/8 – ts appear at the end. Summation rule: upbeat duration + final bar duration = one full bar.
不规则拍子:5/4、7/8——拍子分组不均匀(例如 5/4 可拆为 3+2 或 2+3)。弱起小节(上拍):开头的不完全小节,缺失的拍子出现在结尾。求和规则:弱起时值 + 最后一小节时值 = 一个完整小节。
3. Major Scale Construction Formula | 大调音阶构建公式
any tonic, apply the pattern ascending to obtain the eight-note scale. Using scale degree numbers: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.
每个大调音阶都遵循以下音程模式(全音和半音):全-全-半-全-全-全-半。以任一主音开始,上行应用该模式便可得到八声音阶。用音级数字表示:1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8。
Key signature formula for sharps: Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯, B♯). Order of flats is the reverse: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father (B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭, F♭ or key with sharps = last sharp + one semitone; for flats = second last flat in signature.
升号调的调号公式:Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle(升 F、升 C、升 G、升 D、升 A、升 E、升 B)。降号调的顺序相反:Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father(降 B、降 E、降 A、降 D、降 G、降 C、降 F)。含升号的大调主音 = 最后一个升号 + 一个半音;含降号的大调主音 = 调号中倒数第二个降号。
tive minor, count down three semitones from the major tonic (e.g., C major → A minor). Harmonic minor formula: 1-2-♭3-4-5-♭6-7-8 (raised 7th). Melodic minor ascending: 1-2-♭3-4-5-6-7-8 (raised 6th and 7th); descending is natural minor (♭7, ♭6, ♭3).
关系小调定理:每个大调都与其关系小调共享调号,关系小调是大调音阶的第 6 级音(下中音)。找出关系小调的方法:从大调主音向下数三个半音(如 C 大调 → a 小调)。和声小调公式:1-2-♭3-4-5-♭6-7-8(升高第 7 级)。旋律小调上行:1-2-♭3-4-5-6-7-8(升高第 6、7 级);下行还原为自然小调(♭7、♭6、♭3)。
4. Pentatonic, Blues and Mode Formulas | 五声音阶、蓝调音阶与调式公式
Major pentatonic: use scale degrees 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 of the major scale. Interval pattern: T-T-1½-T-1½ (or W-W-m3-W-m3). Minor pentatonic: 1, ♭3, 4, 5, ♭7 of the natural minor scale. Pattern: 1½-T-T-1½-T.
大调五声音阶:使用大调音阶的第 1、2、3、5、6 级。音程模式:全-全-小三度-全-小三度。小调五声音阶:自然小调的第 1、♭3、4、5、♭7 级。模式:小三度-全-全-小三度-全。
Blues scale formula: minor pentatonic + ♭5 (the 'blue note'). Thus: 1, ♭3, 4, ♭5, 5, ♭7. This added ♭5 creates characteristic tension, often used in jazz, rock and blues.
蓝调音阶公式:小调五声音阶 + ♭5(“蓝调音”)。即:1、♭3、4、♭5、5、♭7。这个添加的 ♭5 创造出特有的紧张度,常用于爵士、摇滚和蓝调音乐。
ferent starting notes): Ionian = major (T-T-S-T-T-T-S); Dorian = T-S-T-T-T-S-T (minor with ♮6); Phrygian = S-T-T-T-S-T-T (minor with ♭2); Lydian = T-T-T-S-T-T-S (major with ♯4); Mixolydian = T-T-S-T-T-S-T (major with ♭7); Aeolian = natural minor (T-S-T-T-S-T-T); Locrian = S-T-T-S-T-T-T (diminished sound, ♭2, ♭3, ♭5, ♭6, ♭7).
调式公式(均基于白键 C 大调式样,移到不同起始音):伊奥尼亚 = 大调(全-全-半-全-全-全-半);多利亚 = 全-半-全-全-全-半-全(小调带 ♮6);弗里几亚 = 半-全-全-全-半-全-全(小调带 ♭2);利底亚 = 全-全-全-半-全-全-半(大调带 ♯4);混合利底亚 = 全-全-半-全-全-半-全(大调带 ♭7);爱奥利亚 = 自然小调(全-半-全-全-半-全-全);洛克里亚 = 半-全-全-半-全-全-全(减音效,带 ♭2、♭3、♭5、♭6、♭7)。
5. Interval Arithmetic | 音程算术
to E = 3rd), quality is determined by exact semitone count. In a major scale, intervals from tonic to scale degrees are: unison (P1), Major 2nd, Major 3rd, Perfect 4th, Perfect 5th, Major 6th, Major 7th, Perfect 8ve.
音程是两个音之间的音高距离,以音阶级数计算。性质 + 度数规则:度数是音名距离(如 C 到 E = 三度),性质由确切的半音数决定。在大调音阶中,从主音到各音级的音程为:纯一度(P1)、大二度、大三度、纯四度、纯五度、大六度、大七度、纯八度。
Interval alteration shortcuts: a Major interval reduced by a semitone becomes Minor; reduced by two semitones becomes Diminished. A Perfect interval reduced by a semitone becomes Diminished; augmented by a semitone becomes Augmented. Augmented intervals: Major or Perfect interval widened by one semitone.
音程变化捷径:大音程减去一个半音变为小音程;减去两个半音变为减音程。纯音程减去一个半音变为减音程;增加一个半音变为增音程。增音程:大音程或纯音程扩大一个半音。
Semitone count reference (ascending) for quick identification:
| Interval | Semitones | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Minor 2nd | 1 | E-F |
| Major 2nd | 2 | C-D |
| Minor 3rd | 3 | A-C |
| Major 3rd | 4 | C-E |
| Perfect 4th | 5 | C-F |
| Perfect 5th | 7 | C-G |
| Minor 6th | 8 | E-C |
| Major 6th | 9 | C-A |
| Minor 7th | 10 | C-B♭ |
| Major 7th | 11 | C-B |
| Octave (P8) | 12 | C-C |
快速识别的半音数参考表(上行):
nterval and its inversion always equals 9 (e.g., P5 inverts to P4; 5+4=9). Major becomes minor upon inversion and vice versa; perfect remains perfect.
复音程:大于八度的音程;将单音程度数加 7(如九度 = 复二度)。转位规则:音程与其转位的度数之和恒为 9(如纯五度转位成纯四度;5+4=9)。转位时大音程变小音程,反之亦然;纯音程仍为纯。
6. Triad Building Blocks | 三和弦积木
A triad is a three-note chord built in thirds. Formula for a major triad (root position): root + major 3rd + perfect 5th. Semitone pattern: 4 semitones from root to 3rd, then 3 semitones from 3rd to 5th (total 7). Minor triad: root + minor 3rd + perfect 5th (3 + 4 semitones). Diminished: root + minor 3rd + diminished 5th (3 + 3 semitones). Augmented: root + major 3rd + augmented 5th (4 + 4 semitones).
三和弦是由三度叠置而成的三个音的和弦。大三和弦(原位)公式:根音 + 大三度 + 纯五度。半音模式:根音到三音 4 个半音,三音到五音 3 个半音(共 7 个)。小三和弦:根音 + 小三度 + 纯五度(3 + 4 个半音)。减三和弦:根音 + 小三度 + 减五度(3 + 3 个半音)。增三和弦:根音 + 大三度 + 增五度(4 + 4 个半音)。
Triad inversion labels: root position (5/3), first inversion (6/3 or simply '6' ond inversion. Inversion changes the bass note: first inversion has 3rd in bass, second inversion has 5th in bass.
三和弦转位标记:原位(5/3)、第一转位(6/3 或简写“6”)、第二转位(6/4)。数字低音简写:无数字 = 原位;6 = 第一转位;6/4 = 第二转位。转位改变低音:第一转位三音在低音部,第二转位五音在低音部。
Diatonic triads in a major key (I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii°): I, IV, V are major; ii, iii, vi are minor; vii° is diminished. The primary triads (I, IV, V) form the backbone of tonal harmonic progressions. V often includes a 7th (V⁷) for stronger pull to I.
大调中的自然音三和弦(I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii°):I、IV、V 是大三和弦;ii、iii、vi 是小三和弦;vii° 是减三和弦。正三和弦(I、IV、V)构成调性和声进行的骨干。V 常添加七音(V⁷)以增强向 I 的倾向。
7. Seventh Chord Formulae | 七和弦公式
A seventh chord adds a 7th above the root to a triad. Dominant 7th (V⁷): major triad + minor 7th (in a major key, built on 5th degree). Formula in semitones from root: 4 (M3) + 3 (P5) + 3 (m7) – total 10 semitones to 7th. Major 7th: major triad + major 7th (4+3+4). Minor 7th: minor triad + minor 7th (3+4+3). Half-diminished 7th (ø7): diminished triad + minor 7th (3+3+4). Diminished 7th (dim7): diminished triad + diminished 7th (3+3+3).
七和弦在三和弦之上再叠置一个根音上方的七度音。属七和弦(V⁷):大三和弦 + 小七度(在大调中建立于第 5 级)。从根音算起的半音公式:4(大三度)+ 3(纯五度)+ 3(小七度)——到七音共 10 个半音。大七和弦:大三和弦 + 大七度(4+3+4)。小七和弦:小三和弦 + 小七度(3+4+3)。半减七和弦(ø7):减三和弦 + 小七度(3+3+4)。减七和弦(dim7):减三和弦 + 减七度(3+3+3)。
The dominant 7th contains a tritone (augmented 4th/diminished 5th) between the 3rd and 7th, which resolves inwards for major keys or outwards for minor. In root position, V⁷ often resolves to I (or i) with the 7th falling by step.
属七和弦包含一个三全音(增四度/减五度),位于三音与七音之间;在大调中向内解决,在小调中向外解决。原位 V⁷ 通常解决到 I(或 i),七音级进下行。
8. Chord Progression and Cadence Laws | 和弦进行与终止式法则
Cadences are the punctuation of music. Perfect cadence (V-I): full stop, sounds complete. Formula: V (or V⁷) moving to I. Plagal cadence (IV-I): 'Amen' cadence, sounds softer. Interrupted/Deceptive cadence (V-vi): breaks expectation; V moves to vi (minor submediant). Imperfect cadence (any chord - V): feels unfinished, like a comma; ends on V.
终止式是音乐的标点。完全终止(V-I):句号,音响完满。公式:V(或 V⁷)进行到 I。变格终止(IV-I):“阿们”终止,听感柔和。阻碍终止(V-vi):打破期待;V 进行到 vi(小下中音)。不完全终止(任何和弦 - V):感觉未完成,如逗号;结束于 V。
Common chord progression formulas in Year 9 context: I-IV-V-I (the most fundamental progression); I-vi-IV-V (doo-wop / 1950s progression); ii-V-I (jazz turn-around, strong root movement by 5ths); 12-bar blues pattern: I-I-I-I / IV-IV-I-I / V-IV-I-V (may use dominant 7ths). These formulas can be transposed to any key.
Year 9 语境中常见的和弦进行公式:I-IV-V-I(最基本的进行);I-vi-IV-V(嘟哇/1950 年代进行);ii-V-I(爵士回转,强五度根音运动);12 小节蓝调模式:I-I-I-I / IV-IV-I-I / V-IV-I-V(可使用属七和弦)。这些公式可以移调到任何调。
Circle of 5ths progression: chords often move by descending perfect 5ths (or ascending 4ths). The sequence iii-vi-ii-V-I moves through the circle. This root movement is the strongest harmonic progression in tonal music.
五度圈进行:和弦常以下行纯五度(或上行纯四度)运动。序列 iii-vi-ii-V-I 沿五度圈移动。这种根音运动是调性音乐中最强的和声进行。
9. Form and Structure Blueprints | 曲式与结构蓝图
often with ornamentation). Binary form (AB): two sections, each usually repeated. Rounded binary adds a brief return of A at the end of B (A :||: B A' :||).
三部曲式(ABA):呈示 - 对比 - 再现。公式:A(主题在主调)→ B(对比调,常为属调或关系小调)→ A(再现,常加装饰)。二部曲式(AB):两个段落,通常各自反复。再现二部曲式在 B 段末尾简短再现 A(A :||: B A' :||)。
Theme and variations: A (theme) → A' → A'' → A''' ... . Each variation alters melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, or mode while the theme' , common in folk songs. Through-composed: continuous new music, no large-scale repetition.
主题与变奏:A(主题)→ A' → A'' → A''' ……。每次变奏改变旋律、和声、节奏、织体或调式,但主题的框架仍可辨认。分节歌形式:每段歌词使用相同音乐(AAA……),常见于民歌。通谱体:连续的新音乐,无大规模重复。
Pop song structure template: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus - Outro. Verses tell the story (often same music, different lyrics), chorus is the hook (repeated), bridge provides contrast. 12-bar blues: three 4-bar phrases following the I-IV-V formula.
流行歌曲结构模板:前奏 - 主歌 - 副歌 - 主歌 - 副歌 - 桥段 - 副歌 - 尾奏。主歌讲故事(常同音乐,不同歌词),副歌是记忆点(重复),桥段提供对比。12 小节蓝调:三个 4 小节乐句,遵循 I-IV-V 公式。
10. Dynamics, Tempo and Articulation Lexicon | 力度、速度与演奏法术语表
oft; mf (mezzo-forte) = moderately loud; f (forte) = loud; ff (fortissimo) = very loud. Gradual changes: crescendo (cresc.) = get louder; diminuendo (dim.) or decrescendo = get softer. Sforzando (sfz) = sudden strong accent.
力度公式:音量层次用意大利语缩写。pp(很弱);p(弱);mp(中弱);mf(中强);f(强);ff(很强)。渐变:crescendo(渐强);diminuendo 或 decrescendo(渐弱)。sforzando(sfz)= 突强重音。
Tempo markings: Largo (very slow, 40–60 bpm), Adagio (slow, 66–76), Andante (walking pace, 76–108), Moderato (moderate, 108–120), Allegro (fast, 120–168), Vivace (lively, 168–176), Presto (very fast, 168–200). Modifiers: 'issimo' intensifies (e.g., prestissimo); '-etto' reduces (e.g., allegretto = moderately fast). Metronome mark formulas: ♩ = 120 means 120 crotchet beats per minute.
速度标记:Largo(极慢,40–60 bpm),Adagio(慢,66–76),Andante(步行速度,76–108),Moderato(中板,108–120),Allegro(快板,120–168),Vivace(活泼的快板,168–176),Presto(急板,168–200)。修饰词:'-issimo' 强化(如 prestissimo);'-etto' 减弱(如 allegretto = 稍快)。节拍器标记公式:♩ = 120 表示每分钟 120 个四分音符拍。
ck; tenuto (line) = hold full value, slightly stressed; marcato (^) = marked, heavily accented. Combining dynamics and articulation shapes phrasing and expression.
演奏法:staccato(小圆点)= 断开、缩短(约原时值的一半);legato(连线)= 平滑连接;重音(>)= 起音加强;tenuto(横线)= 保持足值,稍加强调;marcato(^)= 突出地,强烈重音。力度与演奏法的结合塑造乐句与表情。
11. Texture and Ensemble Density Equations | 织体与合奏密度方程
oice). Homophonic (melody + accompaniment): a clearly dominant melody supported by chords; often described by 'melody-dominated homophony'. Chordal homophony: all parts move in same rhythm (block chords).
织体描述听到多少声音层次以及它们如何关联。单音织体:单一旋律线条,无伴奏(密度 = 1 个声部)。主调织体(旋律 + 伴奏):清晰的旋律由和弦支撑;常表述为“旋律主导的主调织体”。和弦式主调织体:所有声部以相同节奏运动(块状和弦)。
yphony: entries copy each other (canon, fugue); non-imitative: different independent lines. Heterophonic texture: simultaneous variation of a single melody (rare in Western music, common in some world traditions).
复调/对位织体:两条或以上独立旋律交织(密度 ≥ 2)。模仿式复调:声部依次进入相互模仿(卡农、赋格);非模仿式:不同的独立线条。异音织体:同一旋律同时做不同变奏(西方音乐罕见,常见于某些世界传统音乐)。
Texture change methods: adding or subtracting instruments (orchestration), layering, octave doublings, and using pedal points or drones. Antiphonal texture: alternating groups of performers (stereo effect). Thick vs. thin: a full orchestra represents high density; a solo flute represents low density.
织体变化手段:增删乐器(配器)、层次叠加、八度重复、持续音或低音长音。对唱/应答织体:两组表演者交替(立体声效果)。厚与薄:完整管弦乐队代表高密度;长笛独奏代表低密度。
12. Ornamentation and Melodic Decoration Rules | 装饰音与旋律润色规则
Trill (tr): rapid alternation between the written note and the note above (diatonic, often starting on upper note). Formula: note - upper - note - upper ... ending with turn. Upper mordent (short trill with line through): single alternation: note - upper - note. Lower mordent (no line): note - lower - note.
颤音(tr):本音与上方音快速交替(自然音,常从上音开始)。公式:本音 - 上音 - 本音 - 上音……以回音结束。上波音(带竖线的短颤音):单次交替:本音 - 上音 - 本音。下波音(无竖线):本音 - 下音 - 本音。
Turn (sideways S): four notes ornamenting the main note: upper - main - lower - main. Inverted turn: lower - main - upper - main. Appoggiatura (small note with slash): takes half the value of the main note (or two-thirds if dotted), creating a dissonant leaning. Acciaccatura (small note slashed, joined to main): 'crushed' very short before the beat.
回音(横 S):四个音装饰本音:上音 - 本音 - 下音 - 本音。逆回音:下音 - 本音 - 上音 - 本音。倚音(带斜线的小音符):占本音时值的一半(或三分之二,若本音带附点),形成不协和倚靠。短倚音(带斜线小音符,连至本音):在节拍前极短地“挤”入。
Grace notes are not counted in the measure's rhythmic arithmetic; they steal time from the main note or preceding beat. Ornamentation symbols are realised differently across Baroque, Classical, and Romantic styles, but the core rhythmic formula remains as given.
装饰音不计入小节节拍算术;它们从本音或前一拍中偷取时值。装饰音符号在巴洛克、古典、浪漫时期的实际演奏方式有差异,但核心节奏公式如上所述。
