In “The HitchHiker” there were many different effects, such of sound effects, and music. I could tell that the noise created a better tone, and mood for the tale. Such as when Ronald’s vehicle stalled while directly located on a busy train track. As he was frantically trying to restart his car, you could hear the train whistle off in the distance. At first, it didn’t seem too much of a conflict, but as the train begins quickly catching up to the helpless Ronald, you could hear the whistle get louder, and more vigorous with it’s dinging, and clanging.

A comparison of the Beijing Opera and the Italian Opera reveals a significant contrast in almost all fundamental areas of music between the two examples. Because of cultural influences, the two performances share little commonalities, as the timbre, medium, elements of pitch, rhythm, dynamics, form and phonic structure are definitely not similar. For instance, the musical and physical performance dynamics of the Beijing opera music are forceful, the timbre is loud, tinny and harsh, the rhythm is lively and vigorous, while the Italian Opera music has a gentle dynamic, steady and rolling rhythm and an emotionally deep timbre. One commonality that is noted for both examples, is the powerful delivery of the entertainment.
Classical music made its debuted to the world stage around the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and North America. The compositions of Bach, Haydn, and Beethoven embody the skill and talent that comes with this genre. Yet, while their bodies have decayed their music has not. The reason for this, is that their works have been canonized as being significant or worthy to escape the boundaries of time. Through analysis of primary and secondary documents we will see how this canon process emerged, as well as how aspiring composers either conformed or opposed to this tradition.

Director Alfonso Cuarón’s Y Tu Mamá También, which was produced and distributed in Mexico, is a coming of age story revolving around two young friends, Tenoch and Julio as they go on a road trip to the beach.
Jazz and Classical are two very different genre types of music. They are different because jazz music is mostly made up by the musician while it is being performed whereas, Classical musicians play the exact notes that are on the music sheet by the person who wrote the music when they perform. Another reason they are different is because the way the rhythms are performed. Classical music starts on the first beat of each measure and Jazz starts on the second beat of each measure. In jazz music, there is a swing beat meaning that instead of two eighth notes being equal in length, the first eighth note is longer than the second one in a triple feel.
