Composers create music just like writers write poems and novels. They have a system for expressing expressions, which is the language of music. Music language includes many elements: melody, rhythm, beat, speed, dynamics, range, timbre, harmony, polyphony, mode, key, etc. The ideological content and artistic beauty of a musical work can be expressed through a variety of elements.

Melody is also called tune. It is a line of sounds composed according to a certain relationship between high and low, length and strength. It is the most important means of shaping music image and the soul of music.

The relationship between the length and strength of the rhythmic notes in progress. Since sounds of different pitches are also sounds of different lengths and strengths, the melody must include the element of rhythm.

The rhythm alternates evenly between strong and weak beats. There are many different combinations of beats, called "beats". The normal rhythm is based on a certain beat.

The speed is fast or slow. In order to make the music accurately express the ideas to be expressed Emotions must make the work sung or played at a certain speed.

The intensity of the sound also plays an important role in shaping the musical image. >The range of pitches. Different pitches have different functions and characteristics in expressing thoughts and feelings.

The sound characteristics of different voices, different instruments and different combinations. The contrast and change of timbre can enrich and enhance the expressiveness of music.

The harmony of two or more notes is combined in a certain way. The chord progression is strong and weak, stable and unstable, and consonant. Consonance, as well as the tendency of unstable and dissonant chords to stable and consonant chords, constitute the functional system of harmony. The functional role of harmony directly affects the strength of the intensity, the tightness of the rhythm, and the amount of power. The sound effects of harmony also include differences in light and shade and density, so that harmony has the function of rendering color.

Polyphony is the simultaneous combination of two or several different melodies. The combination is called contrastive polyphony, and the imitation of the same melody at a certain distance is called imitative polyphony. The use of polyphony can enrich the musical image, strengthen the momentum of music development and the independence of the voices, resulting in echoes and responses. The effect of one after another.

Mode is a series of notes that are related to each other and maintain a certain tendency from the different pitches used in the melody and harmony of the musical work. Gender is the pitch of the central note (tonic) of the mode. In many musical works, the conversion and contrast of mode and key are important techniques to reflect changes in atmosphere, color, emotion and image.

The various elements of musical language cooperate with each other and have ever-changing expressive power. Although melody is the soul of music, if other elements change, the musical image will change to varying degrees. Under certain conditions, other elements may even play an important role.
