The tempo begins at moderato then rises to allegro shortly into the piece. Soon after the change in tempo the choir begins dancing and acting out the lyrics, depicting a weather forecast. Next, the lights come on and choir members have on sunglasses, and are moving a giant sun around the stage. The tempo then slows to an adagio level, as the choir sings the last lines in a strung out fashion.
The book I read was Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The title of the book represents so much of the entire book even though it’s just one simple word. The main character, Melinda, was raped at a high school party while she drank too much. She later called the cops and lost all of her friends. After the party, she was an outcast.
This idea was an interesting start, because it caught the audience’s attention to really listen to what was going to happen next. Then the song, went into a lighter more atmospheric section, where there were many crescendos and decrescendos. The instruments in the piece included the chimes, maracas, timpani,
Finding your true passion can brighten your mental health and change your life. Especially if that passion is art, just like Melinda Sordino’s. Trees in Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, serve an essential purpose as an object that symbolizes Melinda Sordino's mental health, and the growth that follows. Ever since she has been assigned trees for her art project, her life began to change. When she draws trees, it acts as an important reflection and checks in with her inner mental health and mind about the issues and feelings she is experiencing.
One night, one party, one person, one call, that is all it takes to change somebody’s identity and shape them into the person they truly are. Melinda Sordino is the victim of a horrible night that changed her life. In the novel speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, the main character Melinda is faced with many challenges. Melinda attended a party the summer before ninth grade. She wasn’t thinking about the consequences that come with drinking, she was not thinking about how one little action could ruin her relationship with those around her,one action that could shape her identity into who she truly is, one action that she would be to traumatized to tell anyone about.

“I thought killing those fools would make me feel good, but it really didn't make me feel anything. I just knew that I could kill somebody, and if I had to, I could do it again”(Caine from Menace ll Society). This quote is a prime example of how physical and mental conflict shapes a person mentally by making them tougher but weaker at the same time. In the book Dear Justice by Nic Stone, conflicts because it makes them stronger, but also damages people’s emotions, and shows the lack of support in his life. Physical conflict has a significant impact on how tough and mentally and physically strong you are.
The introduction part of the first movement started with a moderately slow tempo of Andante with accompaniment of violin sound. It then continued with a solemn music of brass chord which depicted the conflict between the two families. Then, there was one repetition of the sequence before it went to a heavy, angular march theme music accompanied by a dull trombone sound, which replaced the mood into a rapid tempo of Allegro with a shifting in the melody of around an octave higher, and a louder dynamic. The second part of “The Young Girl Juliet” began with the skittering play of flutes and cheerful sound of light percussion that portrayed Juliet as a young teenager, with a gentle clarinet sound perfectly represented the innocence of Juliet.
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 piece starts off with the orchestra playing Eb and forte. Then Bartolo comes in on the 4th beat of the first measure singing 8th notes. He sings then the orchestra plays quick and fast notes right after he does in piano. This same pattern goes on until measure 14.
This piece has three movements, Allegro moderato, Adagio di molto, and Allegro ma non tanto. This piece starts off with a slow and expressive solo by the soloist, Alexi Kenney. The change in dynamics, the use of vibrato, and other techniques enhanced his solo. The orchestra then plays with a homophonic texture with some tempo changes. A few fast solos and a few slow ones followed.
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
The highest note goes up to an A5. The rhythm in the orchestra is the same in “Devil’s Trill Sonata” (Tartini). On the other side, scenes of Rodrigo and the chorus are written in major keys, with the intent firmly felt. As the act continues, Cassio’s drunkenness is revealed by the rhythm, as well as Iago’s “Devil’s Trill” rhythm after Montano rebukes Cassio.
The beginning is a stylized dialogue between the top and the medium-low ranges and this leads to a long development with a melodious, legato settings, analogous to low violins and violas conducting homophonically a hymn-like chant marked with short tremolo outbursts at the low range, like Timpani, and the high. Following the re-exposition of the main melody accompanied by fluid arpeggios and the hymn-like section transposed appears a Coda with the elements of the beginning which are now expanded with tragic silences. Allegretto A unique motive made into a kind of "perpetuum mobile". The writing of the left hand part is to be noted for its request to hold the dominant tone of A in its arpeggios.
The melody of the piece is conjunct and it follows the notes of the G major scale. In the B section, there is a chromatic scale in bar 21 and sequences in octaves in bars 29 to 31. The texture of the piece is homophonic throughout with the split chords and then, Alberti Bass is brought in to the A2 section but this still stays as homophonic texture. To satisfy the requirements of choosing Rhythm and Metre, I have included dotted rhythms during the A section.
