"Crazy Face" The song I chose to review is “Crazy Face” by Van Morrison on the album “His Band and the Street Choir”. The tone color of this song is upbeat and jazzy‚ not so much inspirational‚ but laid back and pleasant. The tempo is based around an 8th note signature‚ mostly displayed by the Hi-hat in what I would classify as allegretto. The instruments involved in this song are; a piano‚ a standard drum set most likely a five piece with a standard 2 toms maybe 3‚ bass drum‚ snare‚ ride symbol

Critical appreciation ‘One art’ Elizabeth Bishop’s six-stanza villanelle ‘one art’ is a misleading poem dealing with the struggle of mastering the issue of loss and how to interpret it. Through the use of a rather casual tone and understatement‚ as well as crescendo stanzas‚ Bishop succeeds to mislead the reader and bring the dramatic last stanza as an unexpected outcome‚ quite in contrast with the rest of the poem. My analysis will try to show how through the use of language‚ tone and poetic devices
