Meaning of rhythm
Rhythm in music is the regular repetition or movement of sounds according to chosen time. It can also be described as specific patterns which are formed by series of notes that have different duration and stress. Rhythm is thus the flow of music, which is determined by the speed or tempo of the music. Rhythm in music is very important because it enhances the quality of the sound that is heard. Indeed, a good piece of music is determined by its rhythm. Try to sing the song below and give it a rhythmic pattern.
1 We are H A P P Y (Twice)
We know we are
We are sure we are
We are H A P P Y.
2 Nigeria, my beloved country
Working together.
Composers of music arrange rhythms such that the movement or flow of the music can be identified. The rhythmic pattern itself indicates where count 1 falls in the beat. Now, clap to the rhythmic melody of your favourite song. Tap your foot to the beat. As you clap and tap, can you tell where count 1 is? Your teacher will guide you.
The divisions of the beats give rhythm to a piece of music. When music has a steady beat, the rhythmic patterns that make up the music are generated by sounding tones on the beat, and between the beats. This is done by dividing the beats into groups of 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and sometimes, more groups. These divisions are called duplet, triplet, quadruplet, quintuplet, sextuplet, septuplet, and octuplet divisions, respectively.
Elements of rhythm
Music is created when two or more objects vibrate. These vibrations produce sound and the music is created through the combination of different elements.
These include the following:
1 Beat: This is known as the basic unit of time in a rhythmic arrangement
1 Simple rhythm
2 Compound (complex) rhythm
Simple rhythm
The simple rhythmic movement refers to the simple time-signature. A time is simple when the rhythmic movement is divisible by two. For examples of simple rhythm, see ‘Rhythmic exercises’ below.
Compound rhythm
This rhythmic movement refers to the compound time-signature. A compound time-signature or rhythmic movement uses dotted notes.
Now, clap to the rhythmic patterns you can see in the following illustrations:

Meaning of choral singing
Choral music is the type of music sung by a choir. A choir is an organised group of singers, singing with different voices.
Examples of such groups are school choir,
church choir and community choir.
In choral music, a group of people
sing together in different
parts to produce good music.
Care is taken to bring together
and train the voices of each of the persons that make up a choir. This is done so that the songs that they sing will be very melodious. There are four different kinds of voices that make up a choir. These1 Soprano: The soprano is the highest female voice. It is a woman/girl singing voice that is usually thin in nature. Sometimes, boys also sing this part of music. They are called boy-sopranos.
2 Alto: The alto is the second highest vocal range. It is also the highest male voice.
3 Tenor: The tenor is one of the highest male voices. It is lower than the alto but higher than the bass. A man who sings this part is also called a tenor. This type of voice is usually used by the man who plays the part or the role of a hero in an opera.

2 Duet: This is a musical performance by two individuals or instruments.
3 Trio: This is a musical performance by three individuals or instruments.

Meaning of theatrical elements
There are some important elements required for the success of a play presentation. These elements involve man and technical ability. By ‘man’, we mean the actors and actresses, while ‘technical ability’ refers to the quality of the script and of the costumes used during a play presentation. They are called the theatrical elements. Other parts of these elements are the stage, audience, set, light and costume.
We shall now briefly describe these elements.
Elements of play production
1 The script is the written story of a play to be acted in a theatre. It is written by a playwright. The playwright writes a script (story), either through his or her imagination, or from experience in daily life.
2 The stage is the raised area in a theatre on which actors perform. There are different types of stages, such as arena stage and open stage.
3 The audience refers to those who come to watch a play. They are there to enjoy the performance. The audience is very important in drama presentation because they are the ones that either commend or ondemn a play. The success of a play is thus determined by the way the audience accepts it.
