Critical Comments-what did you hear and why or why not did you enjoy it, instruments, tempo, style, expression, time period, etc.

There is so much variation in this piece. The dynamics of the sudden crescendos and decrescendos. The pieces gives me sense of dramatic story telling. I like the call and response that is played in the section of the music. The music flows well, especially in there the transitional sections when the tempo slows down.
There is a resounding theme that is always referenced too.
I love this piece by Haydn. The first time I heard it, it indeed gave me a surprise. It is very simple in terms of the melody throughout the piece, but the dynamics of the piece is a progressive build up in the piece. The use of the different …show more content…

I like the flutes addition to the piece. It creates the mood of the piece.
Stravinsky- le Sacre du Printemps, Part 1, Introduction, Omens of Spring- Dances of the youths and Maidens, Ritual of Abduction. The piece gives a feeling of mystery and being puzzled. There is also a sense of panic in the middle of the piece. The different sections contribute to the overall mood in the music.
Schoenberg- pierrot lunaire, “ Mondestruken” I do not like this opera in opinion is evokes a sense of worry and turmoil. The musical accompaniment suppose the overall mood that is being projection. The use of shapes and flats embodies the interned mood.
Schoenberg-A survivor form warsaw, Op 46 This piece translates sound in to visual interpretation. The story telling of the vocalist correlated with the music. I like the concept of the musical interaction with the story.
Webern- Five pieces for Orchestra, Op. 10 3: Very Slow And Extremely Calm There is the use of flats in this piece it makes it sound unpleasant to me. It give off a sense of suspense and anticipation. The way that to harp is being played creates the mood of the

The overall texture is very smooth from the combination of the piano and guitar. The texture feels thick and heavy due to the music, which I found very pleasing. Also, Nina’s voice was quite loud and strong. _______________________________________________________________________ Form: Does the music follow a traditional form or pattern, or break from one? Which elements are repeated in the piece?

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.

When I first hear the melody, I fall in love with the music, but what fun is that I have never like this type of music before. The way that Riccardo Muti conducts an orchestra and a chorus was incredible amazing since those two sounds remarkable together. It's the way Multi conducts, I can hear all the instruments, I find it magical when instruments combine together and when instruments play softly or

The Matrix is a really good movie with many connections to the world and many different themes, but a really big parallel is the biblical aspects of this movie. This movie is not just a sci-fi thriller after watching it i noticed all the components of the bible. One of the more noticeable parallels is neo,morpheus, and trinity. They are the special trio like the father,son, and the holy spirit. Morpheus would be the father because he guides neo in the right direction, neo would be the son because he sacrifices himself for everyone else, and trinity is the power of three, she is the holy spirit because she brings neo back to life.

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.

The Analysis: I) EXPOSITION • The Symphony opens with the F-A-F motif, making in a way a clear statement of how prominent its presence is going to be throughout the whole Symphony. In immediate succession of the opening, comes the first theme, mostly consisting of a descending melodic pattern followed by a varied repeat and an extensive continuation in which the theme’s basic idea undergoes a series of developmental processes, such as extensions accelerations and fragmentations, until finally reaching a rather weak, inconclusive IAC on Bar 14.

The same themes and chords cycle in this piece. The chords and continuous chorus do not sound like piano performance. The listeners could be aware of the resonance of the piano. I could notice that the music reaches the end of the work. However, the song could go on moreover, if the composer would keep playing the music.

There were many musical elements heard throughout these pieces and it was interesting to hear how they varied in each song and suite. In Intermezzo, it began with a quieter violin solo melody creating a monophonic texture. Soon after, it became accompanied by the other violins and cellos, then the full ensemble came in creating a moderate, flowing melody at about mezzo forte and switching to a polyphonic texture. Next, there was a harp solo at forte with many crescendos and decrescendos. The full ensemble enters again raising the dynamics to forte before decrescendoing and slowing down to end with a held note and final tone.

2. The Rite of Spring music makes me think about powerful cultural groups dancing, marching, celebrating and pursuing their ideals. Stravinsky achieves that way of thinking in me by the way he changes the music tones constantly; presenting sounds of joy, mystery, passion, and aggression. I also heard some instruments I am not sure what they were but they make me think about Indian tribes. 3.

Opera is not verbally translatable, so, the interpretation process of the audience are influenced by revisions of a work. Music and libretto dictate the narrative and the action. Through this, they advance the action in in the limited period of time that they have; integrating the complex actions between real and dramatic time to deepen the narrative microcosm that is presented to us. The audience will identify with characters emotions and moods through an absurd medium but with such a rich empathy that it reaches us in a unique manner.

For assignment 2, I choose the piece “Lohengrin: Act III: Prelude” composed by Richard Wagner. This piece is located in the “Types of Listeners I: Introduction and Casual Listeners” section. This piece really caught my attention because of the overall composing which reminded me of a cartoon story during my childhood days, particularly the Disney animation Mickey Mouse. This leads to my interest in analyzing it as a referential listener. The title of the piece is Lohengrin: Act III: Prelude which emphasizes that the piece is an introductory to a bigger performance, which in this case indicates a story of tension and conflict.

It features two main themes, plus many melodic episodes. The structure - in A-B-A form - is clearly identifiable through the themes that mark each of the sections: the lyrical melody that opens the work, the exciting piu animato that ends with a demanding cadenza, and the final recapitulation that is followed by a cheeky and vivacious codetta that brings the work to a dramatic close. Possessing a memorable melodic theme, the piece tests the performer through the unending phrases, virtuosic c and the resultant nimble fingerwork required. It has remained one of the great standards amongst the
