The main similarities and differences should occur around
the following:
• Singable or catchy melodies
• Simple accompaniment
• Guitar hooks and riffs
• Strong rhythm in percussion and bass line
• Rhythm – similar beats in the rhythm sections
• Melody – unique to each song
• Structure – all rock songs contain verses and choruses
• Texture – the number of instruments playing is similar due to the
traditional instrumentation and size of a rock band
• Timbre – the defining quality of a voice, noise or instrument,
sometimes described as the tone colour
• Harmony – unique to each song
• Dynamics – rock music is usually loud (forte, mezzo forte, perhaps
fortissimo)
• Tempo – the majority of (but not all) rock songs are usually played at a
fast tempo (allegro).
There are differences (unique attributes to each song), but balance is maintained within rock music through the similarities that all of these songs share. The way musical elements are arranged within rock songs makes them recognisable as the rock genre.
