Analyzing Sara Bareilles 'First Song Part Of Your World'
The First song I will be discussing today is “Part of Your World” it is a vocal work accompanied by an orchestra. This particular song is performed halfway through at the beginning of the concert by Sara Bareilles and is completed at the end of the Show by Jodi Benson. The song was composed in a major tonality and is written is a quadruple meter. The tempo of “Part of Your World” is moderate. In regard to the dynamics, the song was mostly played in mezzo forte, or moderately loud. Except for when the composers wanted to emphasize Ariel’s sense of longing, the music was played softly. Lastly, I did not notice any particular articulation, if anything the composer used formata to extend certain notes.
The next song I will be discussing is “World

    This performance can be seen here at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFPjFjUonX8. This piece begins with a soft soothing melody accompanied by simple rhythms. After a brief, period the timber of the piece takes a darker approach and the tempo increases. This can best be heard at 03:49 minutes into the piece (Cmaj7). The harmonies used in this piece help set the story and give the listener a understanding of how the story unfolds. At 06:00 minutes into the piece the tempo of the piece picks up leading to a shift in its dynamics and timber creating a lighter aspect of the piece…

    For the first example, I went with my Scottish half and chose ‘Amazing Grace Bagpipes”. This video is of a company of bagpipers playing Amazing Grace at a funeral. The piece is played slowly (adagio). The dynamic level is initially moderately loud (mezzoforte), with the entire company playing three verses of the song. They end with a solo of just the first line, played softly (piano). The rhythm throughout the piece is slow (adagio). The theme is repeated three times, once per verse. The cadence is obvious, as the bagpipes pause at the end of each line, with a longer pause at the end of each verse. This version’s harmony reflects consonance, the tone is smooth and comforting. The texture is monophonic.…

    On Saturday, February 27, I attended a concert choir that was presented by the Department of Music and College of Liberal Arts; the title of the program was From Darkness to Light. There were eight songs that were performed by the choir, all of which were accompanied by a piano. The first song was Sure on this Shining Night by Samuel Barber, which possessed a medium-paced tempo. Throughout the song, there was an equal distribution between the male and female voices. The change in dynamics was very clear to the audience. As the dynamics gradually grew louder, the males and females sang in synchronization. The second song was If ye love me by Thomas Tallis; the song had a medium-paced tempo, but there were a few moments in which the choir would speed up and slow down. The soprano members of the choir were able to hit very high notes throughout the song.…

    Each piece was performed right after or during an emotional scene. Resentment by Beyoncé, was performed by Madeline Curran. The scene that occurred before that was about infinitely and cheating. The scene left me when an emotion of sympathy and melancholy. Curran started the dynamic of the song very soft and delicate. Throughout the song, Curran continue to fade in and out of softness and loudness. Curran gave a strong emotion when she was singing the piece. She performed with such a pride and poise. The pitch throughout the piece had steady lowness. There were no moments in the piece that was sung in a high note. Since the song was song acapella, it was a little hard to find the beat of the piece. Curran did play with the tempo of the song.…

    Just as the sun began to flirt with the horizon, I broke through the doors of Dunham Hall and sifted between small masses of people to claim my ticket. After the fact, my eyes bounced around the auditorium and finally tagged the perfect seat. Shortly after planting myself at an optimal distance from the stage, the theater slowly began to fill with murmurs of proud parents and blue hairs, who all waited to obnoxiously cheer for their children and grandchildren performers. I hovered the pencil above my notebook in anticipation for the first performance. Once the director struck up the band, I began to spill my thoughts onto paper in hurried fluidity to grasp the nuances between the seven movements of Little Threepenny Music. This piece was composed…

Through the complex breaks and climax of the song, tells an emotional story of revelation, realization and self-actualization.…

    Mrs. Mallard’s response to her husband’s death wasn’t similar to the usual reaction towards death. When her sister Josephine informed her about her husband’s involvement in a tragic accident which led to his death, she cried automatically. “She said it over and over under her breath: “free, free, free!”(Chopin). However, her reaction differs from the usual reactions seen when someone loses a loved one; she begins to think about how Mr. Mallards death plays a significant role in the re-birth of her new life of freedom. Chopin uses irony by emphasizing that Mr. Mallard was kind. The way Mrs. Mallard responds to his death portrays a woman who had lived through years of abuse and passionless marriage. Chopin states that Mr. Mallard’s face had…

    Human Theory

    It is human nature to treat other people, animals, and yourself in different ways depending on how you feel, experiences you have had, and your upbringing in life. From the way that people act you can group people into different categories. These categories are based off people’s culture, economic situation, and values and faith. Throughout my life and especially this semester of college I have witnessed people treat other people, animals, and themselves considerately, inconsiderately, fair, unfair mean, kind, destructive, and prudent. I am not sure what made these people treat these things in that way, but each person has their own reason on why they did it. In this essay I am going to talk about examples of how people treated animals, people, and themselves in different ways, different ways you can group people, and if people are born the way they are, or molded into the person they are through their upbringing.…
