cut common time signatures, the use of electric and bass guitars, and the use of drum kit. These features can be clearly displayed across Rock music from multiple decades. ‘Working Class Man’ composed by Jimmy Barnes in 1985 clearly demonstrates the features of rock music. These features can also be seen almost two decades later, in the 2003 single from Australian band Jet, ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’. A common feature of Rock music is the use of a simple duple or quadruple time signature, such as

based upon a 4/4 time signature and a tempo of approximately 178 beats per minute. This upbeat tempo remains consistent for the entirety of the song and allows audiences to draw connections to similar aspects of post-war popular culture, and recognise the song’s celebration of youth. The underlying pulse reiterates on this and is contributed to by most of the instruments. The drum kit works to provide the song’s main beat; playing short, syncopated quavers that give the song a half-time feel. The acoustic

The dynamics in bars 142 and 143 crescendo and decrescendo dramatically over a short period of time which makes this section highly expressive. This rapid change in dynamics is seen again in bars 151-152 and 202-205.

The last one which uses well-known words makes use of the natural speech rhythm to perform the job of the syllables in the sixth and seventh example. The examples which emphasized note value still operate in the same way as simple meter when it comes

composition was Holst’s first for a military band. The First Suite has three movements, each with their own form and character. Movement 1 is called “Chaconne”. The tempo is allegro moderato. The movement is in ¾ time with and eight-bar melody initiated by low brass. The melody repeats 16 times throughout “Chaconne”. The brass and percussion outline the theme and the whole passage is marked brilliante. There are combinations of solo instruments including a solo horn, duet between flute and oboe, and

song opens musically with only a guitar playing a riff behind the vocals. The song sounds to be in C-major, but the opening sounds to be in a minor key. This song seems like it is three different songs woven together through intense beats and time signature changes. The beginning is 4/4 but changes to 3/4 and 2/4 throughout the songs entirety. If I separated the song into three parts, different tempos and instruments can be heard. In the beginning, only a guitar plays, followed by drums and short

Furthermore, the incorporation of a duple simple time signature and a drum routine of a “snare, bass, snare, bass,” shows the prolonging of physical journeys and the fast
