The document discusses tempo, which refers to the speed or pace of a song. Tempo can be slow, moderate, or fast, and composers indicate tempo using Italian words like andante, moderato, and allegro. A song's tempo is usually based on its message and the feeling it aims to convey - for example, a sad song is often slow while a happy song is usually fast. The document provides three examples of songs with different tempos: "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" is slow, "Pamulinawen" is moderate, and "Magtanim ay Di Biro" shows the ups and downs of pace that planting entails.
