Analysis the Tonight Ensemble from West Side Story

"She could only just recognise the tune for what it had once been. Not that coarse parody, stilted and mechanical, a tin brashness, a gaudiness of noise." Unpleasant and irritating sounds and noises suggest the lady's discomfort, as if the song was

This song sets the mood as it is an acoustic love song. The song changes when the loves first make physical contact in the elevator and becomes more intense which increases the passion between the two lovers. This music continues throughout the rest of the scene. Before Maria and Tony meet the other characters are dancing at the disco, the music is jazzy and upbeat, this is also set in a major key. When the lovers meet the music changes as the characters fade out.

2. "… there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion, a whispered “Listen,” a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since and that there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next hour." (p. 11)

Apart from that, the poem consists of a series of turns that reflect different parts of the speaker’s feelings and the experiences he had. The significance of these turns is made possible through the use of stanza breaks. For example, the first

     Following the altercation between the gangs, it is decided by Riff that the time has come to take care of the Puerto Ricans once and for all, "clean em up in one all-out fight!" (Laurents 10). Riff will challenge them at the dance at the gym later that night. But, he wants his old pal Tony, who founded the Jets with him, in as his Lieutenant (Laurents 12). So, he goes to fill in Tony, who has made a sincere effort to

The author uses the poems structure and stanzas to help get her point across. The poem is composed of four stanzas with a total of 25 lines. Each stanza signifies a different part of the child’s life. The stanzas have irregular lengths and structures. The numbers of lines in each stanza vary from five to seven. Piercy separates the pieces of the story by stanzas to tell the girls story so the audience could see how she was treated since birth. For instance the first stanza talks about her birth and adolescent years, while the third and forth stanzas talk about the end of her life.

Street gangs in the northeast of the United States came about in three phases. The first phase took place after the American Revolution and consisted of youth fighting over turf. The second phase of street gangs started to emerge in 1820, which coincided with a rise of immigration. This is when serious ganging began taking place. In the 1930s and 1940s, the Latino and Black populations grew, and eventually, over two-thirds of the gangs in New York were Puerto Rican or Black. This third phase of gang activity is the subject for Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, which features the Puerto Rican Sharks and the Polish-American Jets and the romantic relationship between two people, one from each gang, which suffers to exist amidst the violence between the two gangs.

In the United States, there is a three percent chance of giving birth to twins (“Multiple”). In this circumstance, one twin will often show dominance over the other. This is very apparent in the relationship between Sharpay and Ryan Evans in the High School Musical franchise. There are three movies in this franchise where the dynamic between Ryan and Sharpay is slanted. Sharpay’s behavior is caused by many things, but one of the major causes is jealousy. Sharpay acts aggressively towards her brother and others because she feels inferior when compared to Ryan. Ryan is a nicer person than Sharpay, he has more true friends, he is more talented, and he also has a more prospective future. She also is jealous of Gabriella Montez because Gabriella is talented, smart, pretty, and dating the star of the basketball team, Troy Bolton. Sharpay’s struggle for control and her fight for Troy’s love is a central conflict of the franchise.

Your Obedient Servant is one of the last songs in the musical Hamilton: An American Story. This song is based off a set of interactions between the title character, Alexander Hamilton, and his antagonist, Aaron Burr. It follows the Song, Election of 1800, in which Hamilton openly supports Thomas Jefferson to become president instead of Burr after the electoral tie between the two candidates. The tension that has been growing throughout the entire musical has climaxed at that point and then the infamous duel is set. All the letters that are written to each other during the song are ended with, “your Obedient Servant,” to add humor and also a reference to the actual series of five letters sent in 1804. While this makes for fantastic theatre, it is not completely accurate. Part of what makes Lin Manuel Miranda’s writing so compelling is that he takes Aaron Burr and makes him more dimensional than the man who killed Alexander Hamilton. However, the actual exchanged letters that the song is based off of show the tension breaking by a small incident, not directly relating to the presidential race, and do not actually set the terms of the duel.

Moving on forward, the text clarifies that the reason for the narrator being in this bar whilst as drunk as the song implies, is because of a woman that left him two nights ago.

Despite the different mood between the melody and harmony, the sound is still relative to each other. Measure one through eight plays three different times during the song. Measures one through eight are first played as the beginning of the song, then just after that play it immediately repeats. The third and final time these measures are played are after measure eighteen. Before the vocal entrance strings seem to start the song off.

From The Sopranos, we can see HBO uses an ident at the beginning and end of each episode. The ident starts with a black screen; a white line then appears in the middle of the screen with a sound simulating the switching on sound of a television from earlier. (Fig.2) The white line then opens up filling the screen with ‘snow’ accompanied by a hissing sound and the HBO logo clear up through the ‘snow’, imitating the situation when an old model television with bad signal.
