The melodies in the music ranged from low to high and high to low. For instance, Dirty Fork is an upbeat funk song with a high pitch. In Pipe Dreams, the pitch changed from high to low. Only a few songs such as Be-Bop, Brushes Anyone? Pot Luck, and In Love Again had a hummable melody. For example, Be-Bop, the saxophone melody returned in another part of the song without any changes to the piece. While in Brushes Anyone, the drum melody changed to a saxophone melody. In Pot Luck, there were two melodies with the trumpets and saxophone section and the trombones and drums. The two melodies were similar, and the pitches changed from low to high. In Love Again, began with a drum melody and the guitar and piano were slowly added to the melody. As
The one song that stuck out to me the most was the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1: II The Death of Ase. This score was composed by Edward Grieg and was published in 1908, a year after he died (Classic FM). One element of sound that was very apparent to me during this piece was the pitch. This is the relative highness of lowness of sound (116). In this piece there are very distinct pitches. The violins give off the higher tone, where as the cellos contribute the lower tones in the pitch. The faster the instruments play the higher
The artist chooses an upbeat and happy tempo that repeats throughout the song. He chooses this repeating tempo to draw the listener’s attention to the lyrics of the song. The slow, yet happy tempo paired with the artists bright and cheery voice creates a sense of ease and happiness within the song itself, and the audience.
During the 1900s, passion of composing music arose and encouraged many young teens to create garage bands and elder to perceive music as career. Famous musicians like Robert Johnson, Bill Monroe, and Elvis Presley were seeking the same. Although many were composing songs, most of them adapted their own versions from many which created a list of similarities and differences between them. Most commonly similar were themes or forms yet some differentiated in delivery style or instrumentation. Many artists got more creative and used similar instruments but give a twist into the sound play. This can be seen in the script or heard in the audio of the songs “Walkin’ Blues” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky” like many others.
Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” have a numerous amount of similarities as well as contrasts in regards to characterization, character names, and symbolism. Moreover, as the plots of each story develop, it is to be noted that the way in which each story is written is the primary reason behind how the reader portrays it. It is seen that both stories are written very to the point and do not leave room for much detail. Considering that they are both short stories, the protagonist plays a huge role in the plot progression.
In William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” and Flannery O’Connor’s “A good man is hard to find,” both authors present main characters who are contrasting to the people in their society. In Faulkner’s work, Emily Grierson is an outsider because she hides herself from the people in town for more than thirty years. They have no clue that she has kept homers body in her home for so long until the day she dies. Also, in O’Connor’s work, the grandmother describes herself as a Pure, good woman but her actions contradict her by proving she’s manipulative and evil. In this way, both characters are outsiders by choosing not to show their true identities to their respective societies.
The poems “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus and “I Hear America Singing” by Walt Whitman, exemplify the idea of American freedom in its purest form. While one poem talks about one most important symbols in American history, and another talks about the average American’s way of life, both poems convey the of American triumph and success.

These are the songs Schwartz designed to be catchy, different, and exciting.
When we hear the song Brown-Eyed Girl, it is safe to assume the majority of us think of the Van Morrison version that was first introduced in his album Blowin’ Your Mind, released in 1967. Since that time the song’s legend and popularity have grown to unprecedented heights. Many artists have redone the song, some with a similar music style to Morrison (like Jimmy Buffet), and others of a completely different genre like the punk rock band Green Day. In my essay I will argue that the stylistic differences between the two songs are not a barrier. Rather, in combination with the similarities associating with cover songs, they form a bridge between two genres. In this case, it is achieved by
To Native Americans, the land is sacred and should be treated with respect. They’re a part of nature and nature is a part of them; they are all one. Land does not belong to one, it belongs to all. The Dakota Access pipeline would damage the Native Americans water, and it would hurt the ancestral cultural sites along with spiritual factors. This is shown in “Song of the Sky Loom” and “The Man to Send Rain Clouds” along with the present day focus of the pipeline.
When analyzing the introduction to “Bennie and The Jets,” the first few seconds of the instrumental unfold into what is the most important melody throughout all of ”Bennie and The Jets”. The opening melody is not just a cog in an oiled machine, but it is the entire belt that pulls every section in “Bennie and The Jets”
Notably, being a loving child was very important to those around Denver. After the tragedy of Sethe losing three of her four children, the town she and Denver lived in began shutting her out. Denver was well aware of how the town treated her mother, so Denver did all she could to support her mother. She strongly respected her mother and cared for her deeply, no matter what happened. When Sethe remembered her past and horrible experiences, Denver could always be counted on to help. Additionally, after Beloved became apart of the household, Denver was more than willing to accept her. Denver always considered Beloved the sister she never had, which meant a lot to Denver. Beloved and Denver often relied on one another when they needed someone to
To start things off, we will discuss the similarities. There are three that jump right off the page: one, both these songs were first released in the third album of the respective artists; two, both songs were released in the 1960s decade; and three, both songs were formatted along 7" diameter i.e. both were phonograph records.
Many say that music has evolved over the years. This essay shall explore the elements of two versions of one song. It shall discuss the correlations and disparities of these songs and confer how it has been revolutionised to entertain the audiences of today.
In the film Dirty Dancing and other musicals, the well-known songs that are often associated with the film are good at triggering certain memories and connotations for the audience. For example, the audience could associate a particular song with a specific time of their life where they perhaps had a good time watching the film with friends/ family or a first date. Dirty Dancing’s score is made up of many different genre of music and is known to be `period` music from 1956 to 1969. It’s a key element in the success of making it memorable to the audience and without music it wouldn’t be classed as a musical. Lesley Vice states that “while not possessing the same degree of `historical realism` as Saturday night fever, Dirty Dancing attempted
Jackson wrote many great love songs and while “Loving You” was released posthumously it certainly is one of them. At first Jackson refers to a secret lover, which makes great sense as he respected his private life. Jackson also makes an allusion to how he will love his lover until the end of time is a strong way of showing his love towards her. Another statement towards their love is how Jackson alludes to how he will lover her even if its “cloudy” which is symbolic of the hard times they will face. Conclusively the song is a truly wonderful example of the magic of Jackson’s musical
