Tempo

Music is composed of many different elements that together give feeling to what we hear. These elements include rhythm, beat, accent, meter, syncopation, tempo, pitch, dynamics, tone color, overtone, scales, melody, harmony, texture, tonality, and mode. Just like with chemical elements, combining musical elements will create something new and exciting, and different combinations will give something distinct to the music. All sixteen elements mentioned are equally important and together…

The andante pace allows for the cryptic lyrics of the song to speak for themselves. The tempo is the perfect match for the almost eerie descriptions of the mysterious Hotel California. Again, the Eagles’ “Hotel California” sways a bit from Strauss’s “Blue Danube Waltz” in the key shifts. “Hotel California” maintains the same key throughout…

piece; its fluidity and ease of composition exhilarated me. Each movement was perfect and the tempo quick and happy. I had played with my heart, using my skill. A ‘standing ovation’ at the end applauded the recital and I was rewarded when I saw so many happy faces. My music had touched all present. That is what music means to me – not sheets to read and strike the right notes; but synchronize rhythm, tempo and beat and create a vibrant environment. I breathe…

When the music was mezzo piano then tempo would be allegro, and when the music was forte then the tempo would be allegretto, lento, or at times moderato. What I thought was unique was that sometimes the left and right hand would have different tempos. A lot of the time the left hand would be playing faster than the right hand. The left hand would repeat the same notes or chords in a measure…

he was visiting Spain. The song starts strong, it has lots of contrast between loud and soft. The tone of color of this piece is adventures and curious. I felt this way due to the start of the winds instruments. The winds were soft and with a slow tempo, but as the song developed this smoothness was contrasted by the strings. The strings provided a jagged melodic line due to the abrupt changes that the song had. That gave the song a more variable sensation to the piece. They also used silence…

conducted by John Weir and the 2010 GMEA District V High School Honor Symphonic Band, conducted by Wayne Markworth with Bethune’s Symphonic Band. The first band I will be reviewing is The Homestead High School Concert Band, conducted by John Weir. The tempo was fast at around 140 beats per minute. There was not good balance at bars 19-23 because the clarinets and flutes were too loud and it was a bit hard to hear the saxophones and lower brass. In that same measure, the alto saxophones were…

occurrences of subitos. It was obvious with the entrances of the percussion and the brass instruments. In addition, the ending put me on the edge of the seat with the tempo changes from allegro towards presto. This was especially noticeable when the percussion player was at his loudest as the rest of the band played through the increased tempo. This separated it from the other movements, as the whole orchestra played with such dramatics. Overall, it gave the sense of the battle to finally go…

The most important message in the movie Pele is to never give up and be determined no matter what resistance you face.The main camera angle is a mid shot and low angle they are frequently used because they highlight pele’s life of poverty and the fact that he never gives up, his sheer persistence is the key to his success. An example of the low angle camera technique is when pele does his bicycle kick this make him look important and talented.and the mid shot shows extreme focus it also tells…

baskets. In 1893, after several attempts to alter or replace the basket, cast iron rims replaced these baskets (Kloppenburg, et al. 2013). This was a major milestone for basketball since the free falling ball after a made basket dramatically increased tempo and scoring of the game. It is also important to mention that the first rules of the game did not specify what happened after a basket, besides…

2015 Jazz comes in a variety of genres: dixieland, bebop, blues. Each genre contains its own unique quality that distinguishes itself from the rest, whether the difference is the steady beat of a drum, the focus on a pianist’s melody, or the fast tempo kept throughout a piece of music. The influx of jazz styles was welcomed by the people in the late twentieth century who appreciated a variety of music to choose from. The music reflects what was going on during the time period, which is why…
