Parents who were kids when this movie came out show this movie to their kids which created bonds with the movie and the families. The movie has created emotional bonds with the movie making it more special which shows how the musical language can create emotional bonds with the compositions. As the musical language is strong it can communicate how we need to feel instead of instead of saying how we need to feel “feel anxious”. Most of the audience in movies felt more connected with the music than the movie itself. The imperial March is a historic and important piece as it has been in lots of the Star Wars and has represented to all the fans a significant character in the movie. Music is an important part of our life as it can make us feel different happy, sad,anxious, etc. Everyone has song marked on his life and every time they listen to it the song makes us feel all those emotions again.

    When it comes to films, I feel as if the soundtracks make them what they are. A film in which I feel as if the soundtrack shapes the overall effect of the film is "Waiting to Exhale." Waiting to exhale was a movie about four African American women who were all through different things in their lives from men, their jobs and family. There friendship bonded all of the women together and when they got together the could just exhale everything that they have been holding in this whole time and just be themselves without having to worry about anything else.

(might want to reword this) Beethoven’s 5th symphony and Chopin’s Death march pieces fit nearly perfectly as ambient music, especially the “dun-dun-dun” part of the 5th symphony. Beethoven’s 5th symphony was the most moving of the pieces. This piece

    1946 Words  | 8 Pages

    A Clockwork Orange Over the past two weeks we saw, for one more time, that Kubrick has a very distinct and tremendous understanding when it comes to using classical music. For “A Clockwork Orange” the writer of the novel, Anthony Burgess, has some kind of obsession and own taste about classical music, when these two understanding combines we get a unique synthesis, it is mostly Kubrick’s, though. In the following part of this paper, the use of music will be examined in order of the course of events in the movie: Before the first scene, a very mysterious, kind of sad and ominous but hopeful music welcomes us along with a bright red image.

  • The Raiders March Analysis

    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).
