Melody

song was ended and left alone with no one to restart it. This symbolized Gatsby’s death because even with all his hope and cheerfulness he was alone in the end. In the newer movie, the music does quite the opposite. After the quick recess between the melody, in which Gatsby was shot, the music does not tapper off, but instead grows stronger and louder. In this version the music symbolizes his love for Daisy, and the passion behind words that remain inside of him that can not be shared with her…

Your research question will center on one of the pieces on your recital. Please provide a short analysis of one of the pieces on your recital (movement or piece 5-10 minutes long) based on Jan LaRue’s SHMRG system (Sound, Harmony, Melody, Rhythm, Growth) that you used in MUST 690. Also, provide a plan to describe how you would either teach the SHMRG elements to a student or use them in your own practicing of that work. In this question, I will talk about the Seaside Impressions for Horn and…

dynamics, and folk-ish, almost cheery, melodies, there were other pieces that featured a much slower tempo, minor keys, and serene harmonious melodies, such as in Am See and Dein blaues Auge. What could be generalized are some of the techniques used during some of the pieces; in general, vibrato was employed consistently by the voice, and the texture of most pieces could be considered homophonic in nature, excluding perhaps Fair is the Swan due to the exchange of melodies that occurs throughout…

pieces that contained trios, duets, and quintets; showing the concentration they required when listening to each other. When working on Chamber Music, much of the melody jumps around from instrument to instrument, show casing various solos and much of the instruments having to coincide with each other to carefully listen for the melody. The first performance, was from Mosaics, by Eric Ewazen, only introducing the first movement: I. Barcarolle. The performers Dr. Susan Berdahl (flute), Dr.…

throughout. Mancini created this piece to be very rhythmic with staccato to accent beats. In this piece, as in many pieces of music, the melody is the main focus, staring with the saxophone soloist, then the whole group, and then to another woodwind soloist. There is a point in the piece where the saxophone soloist strays from the melody, improvises, and then returns to the melody. Harmony throughout the piece remains more consonant although there are moments that sound dissonant. When compared…

The word ‘Madrigal’ was given to non-religious music which delved into more emotional topics such as love. The songs were developed by composers for multiple melodies and voices and used the technique of ‘word painting’ throughout the…

and washes us completely clean. The composition begins with a very intimate harmony of chords played by the piano. The piano is at a very soft dynamic which helps the listener focus on the lyrics about to be heard. Next, Natalie comes in singing the melody for the verses of this song. The texture of the verses within…

their version sound more like a Rock song and less like Pink Floyd’s version. The first choice they made was changing the instrumentation, Foo Fighters’ version does not use a synthesizer which was a key aspect of the melody section in Pink Floyd’s version. This part of the melody is played by the electric guitar instead of the synthesizer in the cover version. The absence of the synthesizer makes the Foo Fighters’ more straightforward and less complex because it takes away from the nuances of…

Beautiful melody, unusually chords and a great sense of rhythmic patterns are only a few characteristics that describe Thelonious Monk’s music. Monk was one the few American jazz composers that gave a spiritual feeling in his music. During his lifetime he played melodies and used chord progressions that no one has ever played before. He epitomizes what a jazz musician is supposed to be, whether if it’s through his compositions, his piano playing or someone else playing his music, you know right…

She can finally tell her parents that she loves them, she can express her needs and wants, she can let people know how smart she really is, yet people still didn’t see who she truly was. Throughout this book Melody just wanted to be like everyone else. She would get little glimpse of being just a “regular’ girl, and then it would be taken from her. She got her say at the end of the book, but deep down you know that it will never change for…
