The song “Mad World‚” originally written and composed in F#m by the English synth-pop band Tears for Fears is an incredibly melancholy yet upbeat song. “Mad World‚” has been covered by an abundance of artists‚ although the most unusual and differing cover compared to the original is that of the version by the singer and songwriter Gary Jules. Gary Jules composed and recorded the cover‚ written in the key of Eb for the soundtrack of Donnie Darko‚ a movie where the detached sadness of the song’s lyrics

We hear from the beginning of the entertainer that it has a fast paced rhythm and this is persistent through the entire song adding to the upbeat‚ danceable atmosphere to the song. The entertainer is written for the most part in C major but when the C section is repeated; it modulates to the subdominant‚ F Major‚ and then

never made the record‚ instead suggesting that Thad start his own band. The rest is history! Nevertheless‚ Big Dipper still maintains that swinging Basie mindset‚ and should be rehearsed that way. Its basic foundations are a relaxed but powerful rhythm section with a driving ride cymbal beat and crisp hi-hat‚ underpinning saxes and brass that are tight‚ and always on the back of the beat. The saxes and brass play their upbeats as late as possible‚ locking in with the tight ride cymbal skip beat

The modern music is full of complex rhythms and time signatures. The major reason for the increase of rhythms in twentieth century music is the development of the ballet. The second component of twentieth century music is melody. This new music moves away from the traditional melodic line that previous

playing. Knowing what came before is the only way to realize what there is left to do. Imitation as a stage of learning is timeless and inevitable. This mode of thought holds especially true in jazz because outside of the specific notes and rhythms‚ the intangible essence of this music cannot be notated exactly. This includes but is not limited to the subtleties of rhythmic feel and how the artist interprets the beat as well as the use of expressive nuance in one’s sound‚ aspects of which

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

My favorite composition from the band was Beggin because the tempo and beat was so fast-paced and it was impressive how the band had bright stage lights and fascinating dance moves. The music contained catchy rhythms and beats. Some notes would stretch out to make a nice vocal sound and some were just quick beats from the drums.

The introduction of the song starts with a man’s voice saying “producing…” The song then jumps to a few twinkling of simple‚ high-octave piano notes played continuously with the plucking of a few lower octave notes to accompany it and set the rhythm of the song. There is a strong‚ hypnotizing drum beat that enters the song. The beat is at a slower tempo. It is very similar to a hip-hop style beat. Then what sounds like a choir singing starts‚ which sets the mood for the rest of the song. The
