Although this song may sound like a joyous song from the title, it doesn’t have that upbeat that is expected. Although this song is not entirely sad and depressing, it has a similar tune to that of a hopeful or optimistic song. There are many peculiar chords that bring a sound different to that of a normal optimistic song. Be prepared to start performing this extraordinary piece! As you scan the piece, many sections look similar to that of the beginning part. This is because the first section gets repeated again at the start of measure 9. Therefore, the measures 9-13 are just repeated from measures 1-8. Knowing that, you only need to take notice of the chords in the first 8 measures instead of just the entire page. This allows for you to save time when practicing and mastering this piece. Knowing …show more content…
This is a huge part of the difficulty involved in this song. Not only do you have to pay attention to the chords being played, but whether there are any sharps in that chord. There isn’t much I could say about the chords except that you just need to slowly play the chords in order, and then get faster everyday until perfection. Moving on, there are just simple rhythms being played, so that shouldn’t be a problem for anyone. The chords in the left hand are simple throughout the entire song because they are just octaves (playing the same note in a different place). This is the same throughout the entire song, but just playing different notes to go by. Also, pay attention to dynamics along the way, as these make the song more breathtaking. On the next page, the first parts of it up to about measure 16 are just simple rhythms with chords already played before from the first page. At measure 17, a somewhat different rhythm is being played, but isn’t as different as what was already learned to play in the first page. This rhythm can easily be understood if practiced little by little at a slow pace,
Moreover, they also added the musical notes on measure 24 in order to fit the “new text.” See below the scanned images of the scores (Examples 4.16 –
I think that there are two musical ideas in this piece with the pattern AABBAAB. Idea A starts at the beginning and ends at 0:16, then repeats itself until 1:21. Idea B occurs during 1:22-2:17 with a saxophone carrying the melody of the piece. Idea B is started again during 2:18-3:17 but this time, a piano takes the melody. Idea A begins again at 3:18-3:45 and repeats again at 3:46-4:15.
This is to show the obsession that comes from the moment, and how you’ll remain rooted in that moment for a long time trying to make sense of it all. This becomes even clearer as
The overall tone seems to be mainly depressing with a hopeful undertone; a depressing tone may hope to express the discomfort
This piece consisted of two different movements. The second part of it was a lot more allegro, upbeat, and energized. It symbolized the eternal love that no one, not even a powerful king, could take away. The whole orchestra had more active roles and a polyphonic texture. Together they made a beautiful
To understand the meaning of the song, it is interesting to analyze its dynamic
An important aspect of both music and communication is making your thoughts relatable. Making something relatable will allow your audience to connect and care about it more knowing that they have felt similar things. Everyone has regrets and think about the past, lost loves, and reminisce about the good ole days of our past. Nostalgia is a powerful tool utilized by artist typically to provide listeners with memories and allow them to empathize with the work. This song makes me reflect on a time where I once made a mistake with someone I was romantically interested.
The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).
Instruments are introduced at the beginning of new sections, such as the pre-chorus and chorus. Dynamics each verse begins in mp and increases dynamically to mf at the pre-chorus; there is a slow crescendo to f during the transition from pre-chorus to chorus. Tempo the tempo of this song is moderato at approximately 116 bpm, however it feels much slower due to the emphasis being on the 2nd and 4th beats rather than on the 1st and 3rd.
The melody of this song described as restlessly chromatic and undulating, a swaying Arabic-sounding tune. The melodic line is filled with emotion and oddly unbalanced consisting of seven alternating sections of held tones and movement. The harmony is added behind the melody is dissonant but simultaneously lush. The rhythm was played with in Ella’s version making the classic song her own giving the clarinet a smooth solo. The simple rhythm of the song has an AABA pattern it sticks too.
The woodwinds starts the section off with the Dies irae as a fast staccato
It remains quite repetitive until the end of the piece. “Entry of the Gods into Valhalla” is a piece of art that is performed in an instrumental fashion by an orchestra. Listening to this song reminded me of someone enjoy a day, and suddenly something goes wrong which inflicts a sense of fear. The music was quite soothing in the beginning, but towards the end began to put listeners on edge by the eerie sounds being produced. I think this was a great choice for the opening piece because it captured the listener’s attention.
First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble. This piece is structured as a three-part or ternary form which consists of ABA’ form. The idea of this piece is mainly act as an introductory of a story because this piece is only an excerpt from a bigger orchestral performance. From what I have heard, the solo performance is mainly comprise of the woodwind instruments in part B that indicated the slight sign of relief and calmness. The piece has a lot of variation where the composer include different timbres and dynamics such as the high dynamic structure during the first and the last part with the associating crashes of cymbals.
Track 4 (“Bille Jean”): I haven’t heard this song in ages. This song was slower than most of the song in this album. I can hear the guitar, drum, bass, violins and the synthesizers. At 0:1, I enjoy listening to the drum beat. The lyric in this song like good like “Do think twice” and “The kids is not my
