The Best Years Of Our Life And Red Pony Comparison

It started out as a jolly, syncopated tune that was played at a relatively fast tempo. The song was played at a mezzo forte, but went into a crescendo, then reached a chord. After the chord was hit, the violin had a solo, and played a variety of rhythms, tempos, and tones. Eventually a countermelody joined in and changed rhythms, tones, and dynamics throughout the violin’s solo. There were also several dissonant sections throughout the song.

True to Hollywood conventions, the music of the films reinforce the emotional situation of the

In the famous film Casablanca, music is used to primarily identify the scene that is being shown, to compliment a character, and to be the opening act of a famous melody. Since Casablanca is based around a time of war, the settings alternate between America and the Middle East. Popular American music was crucial for the audience to recognize Rick’s Café, which is realistically found in the United States. Also, popular American music set the joyous mood of the refugees. Paired with setting the mood, popular American music highlighted the suspense of the French vs. German “singing war”.

As the string instruments moved in harmony, the brass instruments were incorporated with a slow tune. The piece eventually progressed to be more theatrical. The melodies gathered pace and the music became more powerful with the consistent entries of different instruments and melodies. One category of the instrument was pursued by another and eventually all instruments were playing in harmony with each other. The ending was the peak of the piece.

When I walked into the theatre I saw several stations on the stage where the musicians would be located. I had brought my mom to the show with me and we talked about the different instruments that were going to be played in the show. The instruments played consisted of Matt Nguyen and Frank Keyser on keyboards, Miguel Rojas and Tommy Orquiz on Drums & Percussions (with the assistance from Professor Giammario on Drums), Jacob King on bass, Brian Perez and Davon Tart on Saxophone, Daniel Mellerson on Trumpet and Ryan Caster on vocals. We cannot forget the very energetic Professor Boyle as the conductor. There was a full audience in attendance when the show was ready to begin.

The stringed instruments were the accompaniment; therefor, they began with harmonics, chromatics, and tremolo for various measures rather than having a moving part. The melody was given to the flutes and soloist, Sami Junnonen, who was also very talented. The song was about 22 minutes long and he had the whole piece memorized. It sounded very sad, but soothing simultaneously. There were visuals around the theater, which made it easier to understand and visualize what Lopez was trying to describe when writing the song.

There are only two instruments used in the few scenes that have music, piano is used during the sad and to make the audience feel the anxiety felt by the character. An example of this is after Gilbert snaps and beats Arnie, then he drives away in his truck away from Endora with only this music playing. On the other hand, whenever there is a scene full of happiness a guitar plays. This usually happens whenever Gilbert and Arnie are having brotherly bonding or when there is a love scene between Gilbert and Becky. But the most compelling and used element is this movie is the lack of music.

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).

The dramatic contrast of dynamics between themes, pitch, chromatic harmonies and discords used in Night on Bald Mountain are still used in musical scores for horror movies. I remember hearing this music in Disney’s Fantasia and thinking, “Boy, do I need to run.” It still has that same effect. In the movie, Chernabog, the evil god, appears in the final segment of the film and summons spirits around the mountain. There’s not another score of music that could perfectly illustrate the final scene of Disney’s Fantasia than Night of Bald Mountain.

This is then followed by a sing-song like eight-note figure that features a pointed forward momentum. The rhythmic building blocks of the theme is constructed in two bar phrases which then sequences upward by step (Example 1). The accompaniment to the theme is sustained half notes played by the second violins, Violas, and Cellos The home key and the harmonic content of the exposition is also very clear in its presentation. The opening of the movement is in A major and remains primarily diatonic in its harmonic content, with only the occasional passing tone. The primary theme is played twice having a four-bar transition in between each quotation (Example 2).

Theese instruments were choosen to give a good beat. THe drums are constantly playing in the backround in a clapping like beat. The piano plays toward the end when Beyonce sings the word “Halo” slowly, this makes that song seem very dramatic. Lastly, the keyboard makes the song seem more

Instruments are introduced at the beginning of new sections, such as the pre-chorus and chorus. Dynamics each verse begins in mp and increases dynamically to mf at the pre-chorus; there is a slow crescendo to f during the transition from pre-chorus to chorus. Tempo the tempo of this song is moderato at approximately 116 bpm, however it feels much slower due to the emphasis being on the 2nd and 4th beats rather than on the 1st and 3rd.

The cymbals I can hear lightly in the background are maintaining a rhythm and a beat. I also heard a possible horn and a trumpet or saxophone. I believe that there should have been more brass instruments involved. I could imagine it being more focused on the brass; it would work better than just the

Piano and violins are in line with each other while the horn steadily plays offbeat in the ' 'though she feels as if she 's in a play. Through out the song, both string and horns come in without us noticing until the mood

As we explore the ever evolving use of music in animated film, we will compare and contrast the music of Japanese anime with that of Walt Disney. This will be analyzed and focused on during a time period where both Japanese anime and Disney animation reached a height of commercial and critical acclaim. This is the period of music composition from 1989 to 2000, where both the Anime Boom and The Walt Disney Renaissance simultaneously occurred. This was a fantastic period of time for musical composition in animated features. The Walt Disney Renaissance brought us the brilliant musical scores to films such as “The Little Mermaid” “Beauty and the Beast” “Aladdin” and “The Lion King.”
