To create the feel of unease and tenseness during the death scene of Frankenstein’s monster they play an orchestral piece of music that…

scoring makes the diegetic world interactive with our world. Ambient sounds have been used in the films to convey the environment and the location of each scene. Various ambient sounds have been used in The Man from U.N.C.L.E, whereas in About Time chatter has mainly been used as ambience in the majority of the scenes. In The Man from U.N.C.L.E, thunder is heard in the park to reinforce that it’s raining, which conveys the rain’s realism. In the first chasing scene, there is a moment where only…

composed by Louis-Nicholas Clerambault. I really enjoyed this performance because of the powerful intensity of the notes. The dynamics would change frequently from solft to loud music. Since it was a Recital, meaning a solo concert with or without an accompaniment, but in this case Guenette was playing the organ, I cannot comment if he was playing in tune or not since he was to only performer on stage and I was not familiar with the piece therefore, I would not have known if he was playing in…

The composition opens in Db major with a tonic chord. Here Debussy has already broken two rules of conventional voice leading; Debussy begins without the tonic note, introducing it later, where the mediant of the chord (F natural) is doubled.

Barbara Miedema November 5, 2016 Song Essay When people get into their cars one of the first things they do is reach for the radio. What if that radio wasn’t there? What would they do? People don’t realize but they use the radio to escape having to sit in silence with nothing but their own thoughts. Often times when the mind is left alone to wander it stumbles upon things that people try to push out of their memory and avoid. By using strong imagery, structural devices and sound effects song…

No one is willing to say love is a torture; people only talk about how wonderful it is. However, in many cases, love is also painful. Sometime the person who makes you the happiest is the person who can hurt you the most. The German film Phoenix told us about an absurd love story. In this film, love becomes more complicated because it went through the extreme difficulties, such as death, betrayal, selfishness and greed.
