Musical Articulations
1 2 3 4 5
1) Staccato – light and detached. Literally, ½ of the rhythmic duration.
a. We say “di” to mimic the sound of this articulation.
b. In jazz, this is often “dit” ending the note with the tongue.
2) Legato – smooth and connected. Play for the “full value” or literally until you touch the
next note or rest. The default articulation in a slow ballad or chorale style piece is
legato.
a. We say “doo” to mimic the sound of this articulation.
3) Marcato – Heavy and detached. Literally to perform with emphasis. This is considered
an air attack for wind instruments.
a. We say “Da” to mimic the sound of this articulation.
4) Martellato – Heavy and detached BUT stop the sound with your tongue.
a. We say “Dut” to mimic the sound of this articulation.
5) Fermata – HOLD the note and WATCH THE CONDUCTOR for a release.
