A measure is only one bar of music - a few notes. A movement is a major part of a work. A measure is like a word in a story, a movement like a chapter.

A measure is one part of a movement, in a 3/4 time waltz, a measure contains 3 beats. A movement is a number of measures, together which represent a theme of the song. Symphonies usually have 3 or more movements, each expressing a different mood, each one different from the other movements.

A measure is the music between two vertical lines called bars. It is usually 3, 4, or 6 counts long. A movement is part of a longer piece of music and is typically a couple or several pages long.
