Frederic Choplin's Music: The Structure Of Music
I used Frederic Choplin's Etude in C minor, Op. 10, No. 12, because I could understand and figure out his piece of music. This piece is located in, The Structure of Music. When I listened to this piece it seemed like there was a time of struggling and anger, and a sort of hurrying to work towards success. I compare the Great Depression for this song because back in the day they used this as a background music for silent films. It is compatiable with the Great Depression because during that time the people of the U.S. decided to work hard and not accept defeat during that hardship of that era.

    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.…

    During the 1920s and 1930s, many musicians choose to ignore the great depression and didn’t write many songs about it. During the great depression the unemployment rate was at 60 percent in the united states. Many people were going though very hard times and had very little of anything. Just as most people listen to happy music when they are sad to make them happy, the musicians of the 1920s and 1930s wrote upbeat and happy music to raise peoples spirts during the hard times. Modern popular is very similar to that of the great depression, when the county is facing hard times most tend to ignore the problem, but few chose to face it and use the emotions that they feel during the hard times to create music about the difficult situations.

    The Great Depression was a very difficult time in American history. The Great Depression was the longest and most severe depression that was experienced in the Western World. The movie Riding the Rails is a good example of times during this depression. The movie presents a story of ten men and women in their youth, who gave their accounts about leaving their homes in search of a better life. I think Riding the Rails gives a very clear and accurate view of how life was for young teenagers during these historical times.…

    The great depression was the one of the hardest year in American history. People were suffering economically, people were dying of starvation, and unemployment had risen. During this era music and art describe the emotion of American people. Music gave people hope, like the song “God Bless America” written by Kate Smith. This song reflected the ability to convey a message to Americans, by giving them faith and prosperity. Another depression-era song was “This Is Your Land” written by Woodie Guthrie in the 1940s. Gurthie believed in the poor, since he saw how people were dying in front of his eyes of starvation which caused him pain, being described in his song, another reason he wrote this song was because he was tired of hearing Kate Smith…

    Polka and Fugue from the Opera “Schwanda, The Bag Piper” was another piece I found fascinating. It was a Chek Folk tale which told the story about the lonely bag piper and his adventures. It started out with the woodwinds playing the theme of a cheery thrill note and triplet. The feel of the music was cheery and you were almost able to hear the story being told. I also enjoyed hearing the Fugue part of the song because that was also something we discussed in class. The fugue was characterized by imitation and variation on the imitation by different sections throughout the band.…
