Response To A Firebird

162 Words1 Page

Unlike symphonies and other orchestral works, this song was short and got to the point. Following the story 's plot of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution, the music sped up and got louder as the story escalated. The beginning is soft, and I didn 't know what to think at first much like the king. However when the princes set off, an eery measure was displayed to resemble Ivan 's decision of killing his horse. In the middle of the song, the music seems to run around as Ivan was, and the drums reminded me of each stop he had to make. As Firebird continues it becomes stronger and inhumane as the brothers turn on Ivan, but ends on a joyous crash that marks the marriage of Ivan and Helen. I felt just as involved with

  • Eve's Bayou Reflection

    439 Words  | 2 Pages

    Why it impacted me the most is because we get in inside look of the Bastile family, they seem like the perfect family because inside the household is a beautiful wife and her beautiful kids with her successful husband who is a doctor, the family seems perfect but they are falling apart very second; Louis is the kind of person that affects everyone around him, mostly negative but Roz and Cisely refuse to see him that way because they love him to much unlike Eve who is starting to see who he really is and even wishes death upon him; she is the only one who sees the family is being torn apart. It changed my mind because it shows how even though something is perceived a certain way, it might not necessarily be true and we have to keep in mind that some people go through a lot of more things than others. The Bastile family is one that has to learn to overcome and cope; they have to cope with death of Louis and overcome the anger and hate they felt toward each other since

  • The Raiders March Analysis

    746 Words  | 3 Pages

    The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).

    It remains quite repetitive until the end of the piece. “Entry of the Gods into Valhalla” is a piece of art that is performed in an instrumental fashion by an orchestra. Listening to this song reminded me of someone enjoy a day, and suddenly something goes wrong which inflicts a sense of fear. The music was quite soothing in the beginning, but towards the end began to put listeners on edge by the eerie sounds being produced. I think this was a great choice for the opening piece because it captured the listener’s attention.

    This Chaconne begins with a singing violin melody almost beguiling in its character, with a natural sense of ebb and flow that traverses numerous episodes. With the addition of double stops and chordal textures, the intensity gradually rises until it reaches the breaking point where the violin charges forward through a frenetic, virtuosic passage. The tension and register continue to rise to the point where the violin sounds as if it is screeching. The drama resolves in the brief coda as the frantic energy unwinds and the violin fades away into the

  • Romeo And Juliet Cinematography Analysis

    For the cinematography analysis of both movies, I will be basing it on the final scene of both movies. Music and sound In Romeo+ Juliet, the scene begins where Romeo is chased by the police and he runs into the church. There is dramatic opera music as he’s being chased, this music is in the background of all the chaos in the scene with the loud helicopter and the police sirens, and this anticipates a climax for the audience. This chaos dies down immediately when he closes the door of the church, religion is one of the themes in the story, so this symbolises that the church brings peace, although we do still hear the sound of the helicopter to signify that the police are still outside.

  • Lohengrin: Prelude By Richard Wagner: Music Analysis

    First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble. This piece is structured as a three-part or ternary form which consists of ABA’ form. The idea of this piece is mainly act as an introductory of a story because this piece is only an excerpt from a bigger orchestral performance. From what I have heard, the solo performance is mainly comprise of the woodwind instruments in part B that indicated the slight sign of relief and calmness. The piece has a lot of variation where the composer include different timbres and dynamics such as the high dynamic structure during the first and the last part with the associating crashes of cymbals.

    The first movement, Allegro ma non troppo, is very fiery and powerful. After an initial flourish of piano solo, the violin brings forth the main theme, a romantic, almost heroic melody. As the theme is developed fast passages create a sense of urgent drama. The middle movement is very unique because of its title Improvisation: Andante cantabile. The tranquil violin passages give the impression of improvisational material.
