Personal Narrative: A Band Called Panic ! At The Disco

Phish has inherited the legacy of the Grateful Dead. A responsibility that includes: playing a different set every night, constant jamming and experimenting. Phish is trailed across the country by adoring fans that think their heroes can do no wrong. What makes them so special is that their music winds together. It is full of freedom and happiness. Their lyrics are totally original; they have this weird way of looking at the world and when they express this in their songs it takes you to a whole different level of thinking.

The beginning sounded similar to a salsa type of music due to the drum’s rhythm on the crash cymbal. Each musician had a solo within each piece. The rhythm section (double bass and drums) did a phenomenal job at maintaining as well as driving the tempo when it felt dragging. Moreover, they displayed great control and maturity of their sound throughout their solos. The dexterity and mastery within their instrument of some of the soloist in this group is inspiring because it truly shows their years and years of practice and

The song begins with two singers having a joyful conversation with one another. The timbre of the first singer is full, while the second singer’s timbre is full but much thinner, lost as an echo behind the powerful voice of singer one. Singer one is playing a pants role, and the character is easily gathered as being youthful and energetic. His vocals are fast in tempo. The phrases are almost breathless as they run together and reach well into an upper range. The orchestra’s accompaniment, reinforces the melody, following the main vocalists lead. The syncopated rhythms of the violin mirror the soloist’s excitement, as he races through each phrase. The song is full of dramatic pauses especially in the beginning. Just as one pause ends the soloist

The music begins with the whole band playing the New Orleans-style polyphony. The trombone plays simple single-note figures, while the clarinet is distantly in the background. Then a trumpet solo you hear the confident rhythm and occasional chatter. Then there’s a break the background drops out, and then the trumpet rips to a high note. The trumpet improvises broken up chord and shakes on long notes. There is another break the clarinet plays a solo during the break. The clarinet plays solo same

| Today people hear so much music that they tend not to listen carefully to it.

The rhythm of the song has a harmonious tone throughout the song. In this song, the timbre has a deep intense color to it making it more interesting for the audience. Emotional content for this song comes with the singer Deejha Marie as she interacts with all the performer in this high beat song. The song has an upbeat tempo that brings everyone up and out of their seats to dance on the dance floor. Jonny playing the sax was into the song and was grooving out, at one point when on the dance floor with his sax and started playing it in the middle of everyone dancing. From start to finish this song makes you want to get up and get rowdy. Sue Palmer the pianist towards the end hits some nice intense piano notes that make the song. In the song, there is a trombone player that wasn’t at the concert but in the actual song she has a solo that’s awesome.

In the first section, A, I recognized the usage of a piano, synthesizers, and a drum set. Different parts of the drumset, like the cymbals and the bass drum, are playing at a pianissimo and slowly crescendo up to a mezzo piano. In the music, the drum set plays a big role in the leaps it presents when it starts creating a beat. The synthesizers create different sounds which add to the music of the song. The sounds created sound, out of this world when they crescendo and decrescendo in section A. The last instrument plays a big part as the harmony. The piano is the harmony which is played at a dynamic of piano and mezzo piano. Although the tempo is Allegro, this part of the music is calm and happy, making

The first song played from the Orchestra was Infernal Dance. The whole orchestra plays a loud chord to show the intensity of the piece. The rhythm of this movement is syncopation due to the rhythm not being on the beat. This makes the strong beat weak, thus giving a chilling ambience. Infernal Dance then transitions to the soothing movement Berceuse. Berceuse is a lullaby played by the bassoon. The Orchestra concludes the concert with Finale. Finale is the finishing piece of The Firebird and uses one french horn for the melody in a dynamic of piano. The whole orchestra soon joins in creating a hymn like choral. Instead of ending with a grand note, the brass takes the melody at a faster pace developing a celebratory ending. With its uneven rhythmic and extravagant arrangement this Suite fashions a spellbinding

The piece starts with just the bass performing the underlying melody that formed the groundwork of the whole piece. After a few bars, the piano and drums aid the bass in creating a nice accompany to the many solos of the piece. The trombone had the first solo that was very enjoyable with long and smooth notes. The solo

The tempo plays a significant role in creating this exhilarating mood because of the drastic tempo changes. This mood has help from the violin’s pitch along with their tempo creating an anxious feeling. There are a few sudden changes throughout the piece, especially in the beginning, but overall gradual changes in tempo are more common. The piece begins with a nice flow with a dynamic level of piano and suddenly changes to fortissimo, which coincide with the tempo changes. These sudden changes work together in order to create dissonance, with simultaneously accenting the trombone and its low key throughout the entire piece. This dissonance is a major part of the piece and plays an important role in the tone color. Overall the piece has a light, carefree feeling to it, but this back and forth of dissonance brings a heavier feeling, but it does not completely weigh down the overall light feeling. The high strings, such as violin and viola, and woodwinds, such as the flute, oboe and clarinet, bring about the light feeling. Then the brass instruments, bass, and percussion come in to bring the countering dissonance, and also creating a fuller sound. A kind of back and forth between consonance and dissonance is created that keeps the listener on edge, waiting and then fulfilling their expectations.

For this song I aimed to portray as much natural emotion utilising heavy layering and particular notations for each part. By choosing an array of acoustic instruments and an underlying dissonant feel enriched in the piano part I was able to provide a solid foundation for the String and Vocal arrangements.

I am The Puss Punk I have no real real name except for my hosts old one, Ben Dover. I’ll get to the fact that I get to the fact I control a host rather than me just obtaining my powers in human form like a normal superhero, but for now I’ll start from the beginning. I was a puss moth caterpillar at a research facility in the U.S. The scientists there were studying me to try and attempt to get humans to spit poison as a defence mechanism for a space travel to the planet Eden where there was believed to be life. After seventeen years of research on my ancestors I was the caterpillar whose adapted dna was fit to be injected into the human genome. The human test subjects would be people set for death row. Bye the time my dna was ready only

A slow crescendo is lead by the strings and low brass play a phrase with very low pitches in small intervals, creating a dark tone. The choir sustains a minor chord overtop this. This section of the music is getting heavier due to large amounts of lower voice instrumentation. The snare drum then plays a rhythm comprised of sixteenth notes, which resembles a typical march line. The melody is later carried by the double basses and the cellos. After a few bars, the boy soprano sings the main melody of the piece while the violins play a very frantic run using scales ascending and descending at random scale degrees. The short durations in contrast with the sustained notes create a very interesting effect on the mood. The melody shifts over to the violins who play a connected series of held notes in the higher register of the instrument. The chord is built up slowly as more instruments gradually make subtle entrances. When brass join, the section continues to build up, and is being pushed forwards. The trumpets then play repeated eighth notes underneath. The dynamic is building up and is very close to reaching a climax until a sforzando, transitioning to the final melody from the boy

In the beginning of this song, you have the cello and piano playing eloquently. As the feel changes within the song, the drums, electric guitar, and vocal voices blend together into the song. The dynamics of this song starts off with instrumental sounds switching to upbeat rock music. Similarly, “Something Inside”, written by Edward Elgar, is a beautiful rock song. It opens with a cellist playing, which suddenly changes into the drums and electric guitar playing.

Yes, it can have cool sounds that intrigue people the way shiny objects do babies, but it can be so much more and people do not realize. If one takes a second to step back and look at how exposed they are to music in their everyday life, I feel as if they would be surprised by their results. Take a second to think if your favorite show has a catchy theme song or if any catchy commercial slogans such as “save big money at Menards” come to mind. It is not a coincidence that they articulate the way they do, it is supposed to be that annoying, catchy jingle that sneaks into your head like Santa down the chimney. I also hope people find the time of day to appreciate all the “noise” around us that we should actually be grateful for, and remind us to stay positive. I like nature’s niche for music, and I smile at the humming old lady and whistling custodian because they know what it is all about. Music, in summary, has high notes and low notes that make a beautiful song; In life, things are not so different
