Ficial Metro : Last Light Soundtrack

It is truly difficult to isolate a dominating theme or melody from part B. In fact, italmost sounds as if Beethoven is wordpainting the act of composing music, of throughrecycling rhythmic, melodic, and contrapuntal ideas. For example, the rhythm in this section is composed of sets of patterns of long and short notes. B_1 starts of with ‘- ‘-,where ‘ represents a short note and – a long note. B_2 becomes -‘’ -‘’, and then

The music throughout the performance is by The Rolling Stones. The first song, “Little Red Rooster” is very laid back and lazy sounding. It has a slow but consistent tempo throughout the song. The second song, “Lady Jane” has a very slow tempo. This is possibly because it contains lots partner work. The third song, “Not Fade Away” is significantly faster than the previous songs. There is also lots of clapping in time with the music which gives it a kind of celebratory feel. The fourth song, “As Tears Go By” once again has a slow tempo. It has a very relaxed feel at the same time as being sad. This assists in developing the choreographers’ intent because in this section the female dancer is being rejected. The fifth song, “Paint it Black” is where the first costume change takes

Out of all of Beethoven’s works, this one arguably stands as one of his most famous. Some say it is because of the heart that was introduced by a musician that was working only for himself, others claim he simply modified Mozart themes. Either way, the form is executed perfectly in a beautiful musical

music used by the brothers help to make this picture as revered as it is. The different genre's of music used

Pablo Escobar has been a popular topic lately. From ‘Narcos’ on Netflix to Andrea’s Di Stefano’s underrated ‘Escobar Paradise Lost,’ cocaine and greed can’t get anymore bombastic in the entertainment zeitgeist. Yet with director Brad Furman’s (The Lincoln Lawyer), The Infiltrator, the infamous Columbian drug load plays only second to agent Robert Mazur (played wonderfully by Bryan Cranston), the man who brings down the world’s largest cartel. It’s a refreshing angle on the subject matter with stellar performances (most notably John Leguizamo’s radically different and award-worthy role) to match. Yet, one of the biggest highlights of the film is that of film composer Chris Hajian’s (First Position, Yonkers Joe, The Take) score. Hajian manages to keep the film’s music subtle, but with gravitas to capture the heaviness of the situation at bay. It plays to the trend of synth percussion, a popular sensation seen everywhere from Cliff Martinez’s score in Drive to Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein of Stranger Things. Sure it plays to the trend, but doesn’t get lost in it. Hijian has the ear to work with modern sound, but keeps disciplined by incorporating instrumental sounds that grounds the film, but at the same time keeps it constantly moving. Check out track “I’m Being Followed,” to hear the complexity of modern synth, layered with piano. Recently I got the chance to sit down and interview Chris Hajian. Read below to

     The music helped in elaborating this great film. As I mentioned in class different instruments helped create different moods for different scenes in the movie. We heard the cello and the violin to create sadness and remorse. The flute created eeriness and the trumpet created awareness. I thought these were instruments and tools that help make this film extraordinary.

PDQ Bach - Beethoven Symphony No. 5 I was able to hear his use of themes. My overall impression was that it was hilarious and educating at the same time. At first I was a bit confused on why I was listening to this, but then I heard it all and it made sense. Also, we normally do not listen to these songs, but it was more entertaining because it made me laugh. The keys used in this theme was still in C minor. How it relates to the works of Mozart is they both use the same instruments in the theme such as the winds family.

Their music is hardcore folklore with a strong emphasis on the instruments; also they add

The overall theme of the book, Nil Unlocked by Lynne Matson, is that people can find happiness when nothing is going their way. Throughout the book the main character Rives is trying to make the city of Nil function correctly but issues keep popping up. On Christmas, in the story, a member of the city was taken by a huge furry creature, the event rattled the city and left people in shock. Soon after the event took place, Macy, one of the town’s inhabitants, gave Skye a gift and explained how life is cruel, but things like that just happen. In the song Let’s Dance to Joy Division by The Wombats, shows the theme, “And celebrate the irony/everything is going wrong/but we’re so happy.” The lyrics imply that even

Throughout the 18 short pieces of the album, each one enveloped by a specific genre and mood, the band alternates between adventurous and prevailing approaches.

It moves in these strange, unpredictable patterns that are disorientating at first, but eventually fits together like a beautiful mosaic. Every street you head down, there’s a different story, a different world, and a different mind. That mood is reflected in the tracks themselves. It’s no surprise that the centerpiece of the album, the seven-minute titular mini-epic. The piece is preceded by this little nugget of a spoken narrative. The tales deals with a young boy’s inability to recognize the cityscape. It’s a tiny trifle of an idea, but it’s one that contextualizes the title track. “City Music” is a real treat. It begins with this slow, minimalist beat that builds and builds to these hyperkinetic guitar solos and a multitude of additional instruments colliding. It attempts to encapsulate the magic of a city’s culture as well as its homogeneity and it succeeds in its

Although I enjoyed both pieces of music I really enjoyed the works of Gustav Mahler and his piece Lied von der Erde. This piece is rich in drama. I feel that the texture used is this song is imitative polyphony. I feel that there are various parts in this song that use the similar melodies. I feel that the harmony between the two vocalists were right on with each other and the orchestra. You can hear the brass instruments in the very beginning of the songs then the strings, wind instruments along with the piano and keyboards begin to make their entrance. They come together very strong but in a peaceful way at first. Towards the middle of the song the tempo and rhythm really picks up (it seems as if all of their emotions are bursting out) then it slowly begins to drop back to slower movements. You can really hear the strings during this time. But surprisingly enough just when you think the song is going to end boom your hit again. This song keeps you on the edge of your

While the City life is crowded with transport, people, tall, tightly spaced buildings and the pollution the urban community live in. The city lives are dealt with violence, greed and criticism of the people. The dull colour of scene where people are rushing to reach their destination and the heavy and quick pace of the music has change dramatically from the opening scene as the changes is when Rachel and Samuel got on the train to go and visit her sister in the city. As the train starts to travel you could hear a great change of music from calm and soothing music to a rush and mysterious sound of the music with this it tries to tell us that Rachel and Samuel are travelling for the first time out of their comfort zone of their home into a world that is strange and unknown to them.

In 2001 space odyssey, as formentioned, he uses light classical music juxtaposed with the dark mysteries that surround the mission and the spaceship Discovery One. The music provides a sense of serenity as well as discombobulated feel like one might feel in space. As with all of his films there was great attention to detail and it was visually stunning as well as aesthetically pleasing. One specific shot of beauty is in the beginning of the movie titled “dawn of man” after the apes jump around the monolith, the sun is setting behind a flat topped hill and the moon is juxtaposed right above it with golden clouds all around. Also in this movie, the reoccurring theme of an unsavory character that we are manipulated into sympathizing with is HAL during the
