You Re A Good Man Charlie Brown Analysis

Improved Essays
On October 7th, I went to a musical play called You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. The musical had many different songs, and each one had a different rhythm, melody, etc. Two of the songs that I really enjoyed listening to is was “Supper Time”, and “Snoopy”, the musical director was (Dr. Tammie Huntington), and orchestra conductor was (Davy Chinn). Both these songs had a certain emotion to them, as well as the style they played. I will discuss both on the emotional impact, and describe how the songs sounded in the play. First song I am going to describe is “Supper Time”. This songs melody was very upbeat. The melody had a high pitch and loud dynamic sound to it, and the song really made you feel like you needed to get up and move around, or even dance. As I stated that the song and a high pitch sound in the song, but …show more content…
This song is very different from the first song. This songs melody had a more calming sound to it, it like listening to the ocean as the sun is setting. It just had a very calming melody to it. The pitch was low, and very soft dynamics to it. From the start, this song is just slow and low, so the best way to describe the tempo of this song is slow. The singer had a long duration when singing certain words, but a soft dynamic. Even the instruments had a low and soft sound to them, which is why it was very calming to the ears. Towards the middle of the song, it changes slowly and the calming melody turns to something of an irritating emotional sound. The pitch gets a little higher, and the dynamic of the song gets slightly louder. However, it is the tempo that changes the most during this point of the song. The tempo switch from slow and it slowly progress to a fast tempo. Then out of nowhere the music stops for a couple of seconds and switching back to how it was in the beginning. As I describe this song, you can tell that the rhythm of this song did not stay the same, it changed over time in the

    In this essay, Gould describes the performance of "Madam Jeanette" conducted by Wilhousky. Returning to his old high school chorus after thirty years, Len and Gould reminisce in their diverse and musically-talented childhood. Comparing his chorus to the one in that time, Gould recognizes that at a young age, students cannot put the right amount of emotion into the music. Along with this, the number of male participants has dropped drastically, and try-outs may no longer be necessary as the ratio of girls to boys is outrageously uneven. With these setbacks, Gould wonders if the students have put the excellence of Wilhousky aside.…

    Even though it was difficult to understand the words of the vocalist, it was still noticeable that the words went along the rhythm of the song and the melody. After the lyrical section of the song, the electric guitar had a solo which had a riff at a medium tempo; the solo seemed to have only been a written solo, since the musician appeared to be reading it from the music sheet. After the guitarist solo, there was a horn solo which involved tonality of high pitch notes. The whole band then played a consonant harmony that had the same syncopation as the introduction. Then the vocalist sang, while the guy in the keyboards played a chord.…

    At their core, the mere concept of musical films is utter genius; seamlessly combining cinema and song, two of the most formidable, emotionally stirring art forms, is a recipe with colossal creative potential. From the inception of musical film with the Alan Crosland directed 1927 motion picture “The Jazz Singer”, to modern box office triumphs such as 2016’s “La La Land”, and 2017’s “The Greatest Showman”, the genre has resonated phenomenally with its audience -- seldom fading out of fashion’s spotlight, consistently producing waves of extravagant displays of story, song, and dance. Regardless of the countless advantages they may hold, similarly to any other high profile genre of art, the musical’s fame and fortune has regrettably spawned numerous…

    On Sunday, June 21st, I went to see the Dallas Symphony Orchestra perform “The Music of John Williams and Hollywood’s Great Composers” at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco. The concert was held in the church’s worship room at 6:30pm. This was a great place for the DSO to perform because the audience and the orchestra were very close and, in a way, felt more personal. The show included fourteen pieces: “Overture to Captain Blood by Korngold, ‘Tara’ – A Short Poem for Orchestra from Gone with the Wind by Steiner, arr.…

    As the house lights are gradually lowered in the Glenelg Country School auditorium, the audience’s effervescent chattering falls to a hush and all that can be heard is one voice somewhere in the theatre, enchanting the audience. The spectators listen intently as the voice travels throughout the theatre, until suddenly, a single spotlight illuminates a middle-aged man sitting on a worn armchair playing the soundtrack of his favorite musical on his antique turntable. So begins Gelnelg Country School’s performance of “The Drowsy Chaperone”. Written by Bob Martin and Don McKeller and music by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, the musical follows the story of an antisocial man as he provides hilarious commentary on his favorite musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone” while listening to its soundtrack on a record player in his quaint apartment. As the music plays, the show comes to life and emphasizes its nonsensical elements to satirize popular musical theatre.…

    In "A Good Man Down" Lee Jenkins uses numerous writing elements in his article, including word choice and pathos. Many people may ask how communities of such small towns can begin to think of ways to overcome such large tragedies, in this case a devastating tornado, and a school shooting, in which a prominent member of the community was killed, in a small town called Parkersburg? Jenkin begins the article describing the upkeep of the "sacred acre" football field by Thomas, a 58-year-old head coach, of the football team. A way Jenkins introduced word choice as one of his elements was the vivid representation of the upkeep of a beloved high school football field in the heart of Parkersburg.…

    OBSERVE MUSIC Concerto No. 21 in C major for Piano and Orchestra, K.467, second movement is also known as “Elvira Madigan“; named from a Swedish film and was used at length on that sound track. The graceful, slow movement would sooth any beast with its rhythmic resonance and graceful rhythm. This classical piece still entices a longing to close the eyes and listen to the swaying beats as the mind wonders through the ebb and tide of this musical dynamic. Movement no.2 starts with many instruments playing in unison as a background of cellos and bass drone a pattern.…

    In the article “Why Do We “Skip to My Lou,” Anyway”, the author, Nancy L. Glen, educates the audience about things such as how to teach songs in music curriculum, descriptions about the lyrics, and the history behind the songs in America. According to Ms. Glen, many party songs sung by children today have transited throughout generations in America, and originated from immigrant settlers not only as entertainment but as ways to socially interact in rural areas (especially throughout the 19th and 20th centuries). The songs were easy to learn and remember for party goers and children, but became altered over the years as they were learned orally and mostly without any written record. The author listed “Skip to My Lou”, “Pig in the Parlor”, “Weevily Wheat” as three examples of these play party songs and some…

    Out of all the music I have heard recently, the one that I believe was the best exhibit source for this assignment was “Getting Better” by the Beatles. Unlike the other songs in the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, this one has an indirect tension that is prevalent as the band explores some cheerful, hopeful reminiscences, strung together to create this musical piece. The main anecdote that this song embodies is that of the once hospitalized Ringo Star, who had tonsillitis and pharyngitis; this caused the band to find a replacement for the time until he could recover, so Jimmy Nichol served as the substitute. Every time Nichol played, the band asked how his playing was doing, and he would always respond by saying that it was getting…
