ELEMENT OF SONG

•) Tempo : Overall pace of the song; speed of the music. In a musical composition,tempo is
usually described with Italian words sucs as largo,adagio,allegro,etc.
•) Rhythm : in aong,words usually match the rhythm. The origin of the word is Greek,meaning
“flow.” As meter pulsates a poem, rhythm organizes music in much the same way. The regular
pulsations of the music are called the beat.
•) Pitch : High or low tones.
•) Timbre : Color of the sound .Each sound has a unique timbre.
•) Dynamics : Loudness of softness of the sound. Dyanamics add emotional intensity. Italian
words like forte, pianissimo and crescendo give musician’s clues on how loud a piece should be
played or sung.
•) Melody : The tune. A series of musical tones or pitches falling into a recognizable pattern.
•) Harmony : The blending of tones or sounds played or sung simultaneously to make up
chords.

FIGURATIVE LANGUANGE
Figurative language is phrasing that goes beyond the literal meaning of words to get a message
or point across.

1. Simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two separate concepts through the use of
a clear connecting word such as “like” or “as”. Examples of simile are phrases such as “He was
wily fox,” or “ I slept like a log.”
2. Metaphor. A metaphor is like a simile, but without connecting words. It simply posits that
two separate things are the same. For example, “He was a wily fox,” or “She cried a river of
tears.”
3. Implied metaphor. Metaphor takes a few different format. Sometimes the object of
compariskn is purely implied rather than directly referenced, such as in the phrase, "He barked
commands at the team," wuch implied comparison to a dog.
4. Personification. Personification projects human qualities onto inanimate objects, or perhaps
animals or natural elements. "The wind howled," "The words leapt off the page," and "Time
marches on" are all examples of personification.
5. Hyperbole. Hyperbole is extravagant, intentional exaggeration. "I have a million things to do
today" is a common example of hyperbole.
6. Allusion. Allusion is when a text references another external text-or maybe a person, place or
event. It can be either explicit or implicit. "We've entered a Garden of Eden" is an allusion to
the biblical place, for instance.
7. Idiom. Idioms are non-literal turns of phrase so common that most people who speak the
same language know them. English examples include, "He stole her thunder" and "We'll cross
that bridge when we come to it."
8. Pun. A pun is a play on words. It exploits the different meanings of a word or its homonyms,
usually to humorous effect. A well-worn example of a pun is: "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies
like a banana.”
9. Onomatopoeia. In onomatopoeia, words sound like the thing they describe. Sound effects
like "tick- tock" and "ding-dong" are everyday examples, as well as words like "zap" and
"hiccup." Sometimes individual words are not onomatopoeic, but they will become so in the
context of the words around them, as in Edgar Allan Poe's "suddenly there came a tapping, as
of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."
10. Alliteration. Many experts also consider alliteration an example of figurative language, even
though it does not involve figures of speech. Rather, alliteration is a sound device that layers
some additional meaning on top of the literal language of the text. It occurs when a series of
words start with the same letter sound, such as "wicked witch" or "from forth the fatal loins of
these two foes." This can help build imagery or mood, hence the connection to figurative
language.

The chief function of figurative language

The chief function of figurative language is to communicate the writer's message as clearly as
possible.
• That might be by putting a foreign concept into familiar terms that a reader or listener can
easily grasp, or it might be by creating imagery that's vivid and visceral.
• Some types of figurative language also have other uses unrelated to their role in creating
imagery. For example, writers use alliteration, consonance and assonance alongside rhyme to
give words rhythm and musicality.

HEAL THE WORLD

spoken:
Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better
world for our children and our children's children. So that they know
it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better
place.

There's a place in your heart

And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

There are people dying

If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.
Refrain (2x)
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
