came from Son Jarocho, Son Huasteca, and Son Jalisciense. The first instrumental was from Son Huasteco, and it has a peaceful melody with a medium tempo. In fact, the song maintains the same tempo throughout the song…
First, was Norm Lewis, a baritone singer, the mood is very mellow and made me feel powerful and confident. The tempo is moderate and the dynamic was moderately loud. The length of this piece was two minutes and seventeen seconds long. Second, was Sutton Foster, a singer and actor from the Broadway stage. The mood was very uplifting, happy, and a bit silly. The tempo was lively, moderately fast, and very dancelike. The length of this song lasted one minute and twenty-five seconds. Third, was Eric…
very mysterious. My reaction for this section is that feeling that you get after someone gets murdered on a television series. For part 8 we are immediately introduced quickly from the tympani and the texture is fairly dense and anxious feeling. The tempo is very presto and fast moving for this section. The melody is with the brass instruments, probably trumpet, and is backed by the percussion. The entire orchestra is playing here with a lot going on everywhere for this section. The musical…
it is being conducted by Daniel Barenboim and performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. 00:00 Starts off at pianississimo with just a drum and a pluck of a single cord continuously playing creating the beat for the whole piece. There is a slow tempo at this point. 00:12 What seems to be a woodwind instrument comes in at this point, preforming the main part that seems to be played over and over again throughout the whole piece. The woodwind instrument being played is believed to be a flute or…
have identifiable elements of music that are found throughout the song with different tone colors. The song Come on Eileen has a lot of variety with the elements of music. It has a varying tempo which speeds us and slows down depending on the part of the song. For example, three minutes into the song the tempo…
lyrics, the melody was rhythmic. Gledhill used extended techniques such as tapping the side of the horn or blowing air through the horn which made it sparse. As well, the extended techniques made it difficult to find a steady beat and meter. This tempo was moderato. The piece starts off forte which reminded me of someone screaming at the top of their lungs yelling why. Throughout the piece, the notes seemed staccato and long. The staccato notes seem to hint at the mournful feeling. While the…
first movement, feel of the tempo is slightly faster, as indicated by “Molto vivace” in the title. Being played faster, means the notes are played lighter. The dynamics of the piece vary, adding to variations in the emotional states of the pieces; louder for happier times, softer for less happy times. Again, during this movement it had me wanting more. Movement 3 Adagio molto e cantabile Adagio – The music is to be played with slow movement. To be with ease. The tempo is noticeably slower…
Song number 1: “Love for Sale” a constant tempo, very steedy. The sound was slow, with a slight funk to it, very relaxing to senses. I would categorize it as blues. There seemed to be a lot of improvisation by the guitarist while he performed his solo. It was my favorite part of the song; it was…
Throughout the piece, the tempo is quick, but steady and consistent. Listening to the band play Fanfare, it brought along a feeling of a very warm mood and the image of lively character. This was an exciting piece and of course, a great concert opener. For the most part, the notes played were all in tune and accurate. The predominant melody of the trumpets and brass could be heard and the sound was clean, played with proper dynamics and a unified tempo. One small issue at measure 34 was…
I find the truth section really interesting. While I was acting in Spamalot I never considered the different “truths” that were possible to portray. I thought that since I was in an imaginary scene that the ideas and truths of it were also imaginary. I never even considered that the audience could be saying things like “I don’t believe that he would react like that,” or “I wouldn’t react like that,” but after reading this I understand why it is completely necessary to understand the truths of…
