Guillaume Dufay’s mass‚ Missa Se La face ay pale is largely based on his previous ballade Se la face ay pale. In fact‚ the cantus firmus is completely based on the tenor line used in his ballade. Dufay maintained the durations that were used in the tenor part in his ballade‚ but he added verbal cue to change the durations when in performance. Because of this‚ all the different parts of the mass had the tenor line moving at different paces. The result of this is a different sounding polyphony in each

The piece is very unpredictable several day ways‚ especially rhythm. This could be down to the fact that there is no time signature given at the start of the piece - meaning that each bar is made up different lengths. This can therefore be hard for the listener to try and predict where the music is going next. Pärt doesn’t use many different note lengths‚ the only ones he uses are: crotchets‚ minims‚ dotted minims‚ semibreves and dotted semibreves - all of which are simple to count as they don’t

thematically and ideates the “music as an emotional bridge where words fail.” (2013‚ p. 27-28) As with Bergman’s other aural elements in Through a Glass Darkly‚ the music is used sparingly (following Bergman’s signature style of reducing his soundscapes) and serves a thematic purpose (following Bergman’s thematic signature of human communication). However‚ Pua’s analysis does not integrate the sarabande’s meaning as part of an entire other body of work — that is‚ Bach’s — into the film’s constructed

However‚ their religious works represent relevant personal experiences of their lives. Their noteworthy religious works also afford Western

One of my favorite pieces of music is Dido’s Lament‚ from Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. The slow‚ sorrowful melody is hauntingly beautiful‚ and though it contains few lyrics‚ the words infer a rich backstory of romantic love and a grieving‚ broken heart. Purcell uses several elements archetypal to Baroque era music styling to convey a dramatic story of emotional extremes‚ from love to heartache; a concept prevalent over all human cultures and generations. Henry Purcell was considered one of

And after a thoughtful silence‚ I said to her‚ “Why‚ you must be tired‚ carrying all those clouds on your back!” Truthfully‚ it was a strange sight; the billowing mass of something floating above her. She hadn’t seemed to have heard me‚ so I spoke again. Music has long since been an integral part of my life. Of course‚ while it can be a cherished companion‚ it can also be a hated foe in times of frustration. But it has always been there for me: the feeling of the cello’s strings vibrating as I
