Analysis Of The Sound Of Music

Music during World War II had an impact on America, both on the home front and on troops serving overseas. First off, WW2 encouraged a wide variety of patriotic songs and love songs that focused on separation (with the possibility of the man dying while away fighting). According to an article posted GilderLehrman.com written by Elihu Rose, war inspired patriotic songs such as ““The House I Live In (That’s America to Me),” “There’s a Star-Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere,” “American Patrol,” and “This Is Worth Fighting For” (The Glider Lehrman Institute of American History, “The Forties and the Music of World War II”). Because almost every house in America had some way of listening to music, the mass distribution of music had a patriotic effect

Rhythm is best described as the musical organization of sounds. The beat, meter and tempo help when describing rhythm.

In the realm of entertainment, Disney leads the way with creativity, bringing to life fairytales and stories that only the most imaginative child could come up with.

With means to express oneself, helps one overcome the difficulties of life. This approach represents the entire nature of the hip hop culture, especially when dealing with social justice issues. Today, the hip hop culture association revolves around raps (lyrics) and the rappers which reflect how consumers receive messages about social justice issues. Unlike breaking and graffiti, the music/lyrics penetrate society more. However, for this analysis, the focus will rely on a visual element with a connection to hip hop music. Even though a music video would make sense as a visual means of expression, this analysis has more interest in the cover art that goes with a hip hop album. Also, this focus will lead to the question of how important is art

The film refers to World War Two and it is a major theme within the film. The main characters are torn apart and brought together because of the war. What I found interesting about the film is that it did not represent the Nazi’s as having full control of Europe yet, which allowed the film to be biased and is used as a type of propaganda campaign towards an anti-Nazi world. The sound within the film is onscreen and the music played by Sam who works for Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) at “Rick’s Café Américain” is one of the main sources of sound in the film.

Music has been used to propel the narrative in silent films throughout its history, but how did Bource achieve this in a silent film made in the modern day? This essay will be discussing the original styles used in silent film music, how Bource used them today in such an award winning way, and how he added his own imprint, and arguably modern flare to the music of The Artist.

One of the things that stood out for me in the movie is, as mentioned in the article, the great combination of sound to accompany visually compelling images of war. A notable example is when the troops play cards in their underground bunker and the bombs keep coming down, creating a disturbing exploding sound. Within this discourse, one can tell that the soldiers have been made used to such sound and proceed to

In 1965 Robert Wise presented the world with his smashing box office hit film, The Sound of Music. Over time it has become known as one of the most loved and well-known musicals of all time. Shortly after its release it won many Academy awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Sound, Best Adapted Score, Best Film Editing, Best Film-Musical, Best Color Cinematography, and Best Costume design (Freiden par3). The movie is based upon the true story of the VonTrapp family and allows its audience to relive their family experience as well as their flight from Nazism just before the outbreak of World War Two.

Many might say that the arts are stereotyped as a pass time or an extracurricular activity; I envision it as a safe haven from stress and anxiety. Throughout the past 8 years, music has played an insurmountable role in my development into the individual I have become today. Through times of disappointment and dissatisfaction, I have always resorted to music as a way to relieve myself, whether it be playing or listening. Music thrives through me, and applies to every day of my life.

ACT II starts off with a basso continuo playing in the background. The main voice then comes in and sings slowly and with much passion. This piece is more gloomy because of the words the singer sings. He describes him saying goodbye to the sky and sun. The melody is also sinking down when the singer mentions the word “morte”. When the singer mentions flying and height the song gains rhythms very quickly to imitate motion going up. ACT III starts off slow and descending. Then, a soft high pitched voice comes in singing slowly. Later in the song the voice rises into a higher range that creates emphasis on the words especially when the words exclaim. The words get higher and more intense as the song continues. The pieces are very similar in some

Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.

The importance of music in movies is highly regarded for manipulating the viewer’s emotions and helping them immerse into the story. Music is one of the prime elements in cinema. Without it a movie would feel dull and unexciting. There are three elements in a movie: one is acting, the second is picture, and the third one is music. It is a holy trinity; if incomplete, there would be a lack of sensation and excitement. Both acting and picture can stand independently from one another, but music is the one that makes the movie memorable.

In the movies, there are a number of factors that will impact the quality of the film and the story. This is because producers and directors are using different techniques that will enhance their ability to entertain. The Sound of Music is taking numerous ideas and is integrating them together. To fully understand what is happening, there will be an examination of the film and various concepts. This will be accomplished by focusing on: the storytelling, acting, cinematography, editing, sound, style / directing, impact of the film on society / vice versa, genre, application of at least one approach and overall textual themes. Together, these elements will highlight the effects of the film and how it has influenced others inside the industry.

The definition of music is very different to many people. Some say that music is the arrangement of sound and silence. Others like myself say music is that and much more. Music is an aural form of art that is used to express emotion and touch the hearts of the listener through the use of phrasing, dynamics, style and tone color. Music is a very universal art form.
