Albert Einstein once said, "Life without playing music is inconceivable... I get most joy in life out of music." Music has been known to bring people joy, but can it bring people success? Music had been a constant in today’s society, whether it be through a computer, mp3, phone, or on the radio.

began with the violins providing a very lively tempo. It evoked feelings of happiness and excitement. It was played by a strings orchestra only, which included the cellos. The mood became more dramatic as it progressed. The symphony played in unison producing a harmony of tone colors. I also enjoyed the syncopation of this movement, in which the offbeat notes were beautifully accented. The second movement was andante. The violins began in a loud, soft tempo which played a sad melody. The cellos…

During the thematic degradation you can hear, as Beethoven’s two notes get past back and forth. Everything then residues to an andante tempo and illuminating the tension that had just occurred in the exposition and the development. After listening to the song in it’s entirety several days I noticed that this section is building and “preparing” the audience for the bold…

by the CCNY Chorus. The 31 members divided themselves into three rows and women are on the left and right end while men stands in the middle. Without any announcement, the piano plays and all the vocalist sang in a polyphonic low pitch. In a slow tempo the…

On Friday, November 25, 2016, at 8pm, I attended the Mozart and Brahms’ concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall’s Los Angeles Philharmonic in Los Angeles, California. This was a very nice venue with a mixed crowd. They offered a student rush discount ticket which was amazing because they were pretty good seats for $10. The concert was held on “casual Friday.” People were still a little over dressed for being a casual night. As soon as I walked into the concert hall, I noticed an organ straight…

heart rate in BPM’s, while Figure 1 also displays the qualitative data of song tempo speed. Both show the correlation between song tempo with heart rate. Discussion: Both in Table 1 and Figure 1 the results showed the parallel increase and decrease in tempo of the music with the heart rate. Thus supporting the previously stated hypothesis that an increase in music tempo increased heart rate and the prediction that if the tempo of music was increased then the subjects heart rate would increase…

Birdie). There are 15 songs total. “Bye Bye Birdie” intro is a solo by Kim. It is a song with an upbeat tempo. Lyrics are depressing because she is talking about how much she is going to miss Conrad. Though the lyrics are sad, the song is fun and fast paced. The “Opening Credits” starts out as a fast tempo exciting instrumental piece. Half way through the instruments drop out and the tempo slows down…

song was a symphony orchestra. The orchestra played a triple meter throughout the song with a homophonic texture. Different performers of this piece had less of a part to the main part by the violinist. The song started out adagio, it was a very slow tempo but had a numerous amounts of accelerando throughout the performance. The main dynamic of the song was piano, it had a very soft tone to it until the accelerando came into play which then gave it a forte type of dynamic. There were also a lot…
