Murp Synthesis
Each piece was performed right after or during an emotional scene. Resentment by Beyoncé, was performed by Madeline Curran. The scene that occurred before that was about infinitely and cheating. The scene left me when an emotion of sympathy and melancholy. Curran started the dynamic of the song very soft and delicate. Throughout the song, Curran continue to fade in and out of softness and loudness. Curran gave a strong emotion when she was singing the piece. She performed with such a pride and poise. The pitch throughout the piece had steady lowness. There were no moments in the piece that was sung in a high note. Since the song was song acapella, it was a little hard to find the beat of the piece. Curran did play with the tempo of the song.

    Alvin Ailey Critic Review

    The three-part work, set to popular and gospel music by Alice Coltrane, Laura Nyro and Chuck Griffin, depicts a woman 's journey through the agonies of slavery to an ecstatic state of grace. Knowing Ms. Jamison 's strengths, Ailey had made it for her and as a birthday present for his mother. He phoned Ms. Jamison the morning after the first performance. ' ' 'You 're in headlines in The Times, ' Alvin told me, ' ' she says. 'Clive Barnes calls you a triumph. ' ' ' Awakened from a deep sleep, she responded, ' 'O.K., thanks, I 'm a little tired. ' ' She didn 't know it then, but overnight she had become a star. In time, ' 'Cry ' ' became her signature piece.…

    Alvin Ailey Cry Analysis

    • 1059 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Conceived out of a concept devised by Alvin Ailey, Cry took its inspiration from the suffering of the African American Woman. "She represented those women before her who came from the hardships of slavery, through the pain of losing loved ones, through overcoming extraordinary depressions and tribulations. Coming out of a world of pain and trouble, she has found her way-and triumphed." In this three part solo, the dancer, clad in a white leotard and long ruffled skirt, brings the audience on a journey of bitter sorrow, brutal hardship and ecstatic joy. The dancer began the piece in the centre of the stage, towards the back, immediately pronouncing to the audience the fact that the woman will be the principal aspect of the work. The dancer…

    This makes it almost impossible to forget them. The song is more greatly focused on the emotional aspect rather than the lyrics themselves which is more introspective to the audience. The mournful feature of the song triggers a small section in our brain. This constructs the feeling of sorrowfulness but also rage and terror. The distress caused by the misfortune suffered by others can carve a whole in our hearts but also bring our inner rage from inside of us.

    The piano melody of the song is very repetitive and only varies when it becomes more syncopated at A5(1:19). The vocal melody for the line ‘Why does my heart feel so bad’ ascends and then descends, reflecting a person’s tone in a question and answer. There is also a counter melody provided by the synth strings and piano, which engages in call and response with the main vocal melody at A6.…

    Chihiro’s Spiritual Pursuit, Turning Ashes to Stone Without the protection of parents, Chihiro impresses every audience with her brave and strong mindset to save her parents and her friends, while being thrown in a magical and dangerous world. The director Miyazaki Hayao, cooperating with Japanese soundtrack master Joe Hisaishi, successfully links his “fairy tale” to the real world life in our modern society via a combination of music and the scene in the film. The music in Spirited Away significantly provides the audience with the inner world of the characters and the feelings of how the characters perceive their surroundings. The music in the scene “The Sixth Station” expresses a strong spiritual longing for home and love, which has often been…

    The instrument played by Marais sets the mood of the film. There is music throughout the film. The viol played shows its almost human quality and that is rendering almost any human expression. There are several recurring pieces in the movie. One of them is the Tombeau les Regrets done by Sainte Colombe. Except in the last scene, it is played by a single viol. Sainte Colombe uses the music to evoke his dead wife. Through this, the mood of the film is set. It is a very haunting mood as Sainte Colombe plays the music to evoke his wife. And he does so quite literally. The emotions of love are also evoked as Marais has an affair with Sainte Colombe’s daughter. The mood also varies to that of regret throughout the film from the time we are introduced to Marais mourning his tutor. The texture of the music is so dense in the film. The homophony in the music brings a good feel in the film. The harmony in the film is nothing far from perfect. The characters play instruments and although at some point, they…

    The movie begins with Paula, a beautiful and talented young singer, being told by men that she must essentially forget what she is to become. We hear it first when she is leaving her aunts home and again we hear it from her voice teacher. The teacher states that “she is not invested in her singing and she might just want to give up singing if she is in love.” At this point we see both her voice and sense of freedom are taken away from her. “So not only individual men are destroying her mind, but the world of men, in its contradictions with itself, is destroying for her the idea and…

    Second, McKay describes her performance as “gracefully and calm” (line 5). This shows she is not a part of the chaos around her, and she just dance and sing regardless the environment where people have “wine-flushed, bold-eyed” (line 11). Here, her heart is chaste and is clearly not as obscene as her operation.…

    ‘Kiss me Kate’ is a musical play that passes the theme of a play by the use of songs. All characters in the play use music to pass their message. The setting of the play creates a perfect environment for music to take centre stage. Basically, half the play involves the use of music to pass information. A prominent example of such occurrences includes when Graham and Lille are reminiscing their past lives. That day had marked their first anniversary after their divorce in the court. Her ring stirs up the events of the past. This reminds them of the numerous previous occasions and the fine time they shared together. Unable to illustrate this, both Graham and Lille engage in a music duel where they dance and sing to music that reminds them of their past lives. In this case, music has been used to pass a certain kind of information. It has been used to narrate past events. During the climax of the play, various actors are seen together singing to one another, trying…

    Defying Gravity Analysis

    • 1428 Words
    • 6 Pages

    It is at bars 191-193, then, that she must sing a D flat for 3 semibreves at a powerfully loud dynamic level. The ensemble, at the same time, are singing background harmonies with a repetitive quaver-based rhythmic pattern at bars 192 to 193. These two contrasting parts in the score, in terms of the rhythm as well as the lyrics, create meaning but intensity simultaneously; it urges the audience to worry for Elphaba and what may happen to her while they sit at the edges of their seats listening to all of the layers occurring in the music. At bars 194 and 195, this is repeated almost identically to solidify the emotions at play. However, from bar 196 onwards, the ensemble sings predominantly minims and semibreves, as this is finalising the song and preparing for the ultimate moment of the song. It is at the final beat of the fourth last bar (197) that Idina sings the melody at a high-register (extending up to an upper-octave E flat). At this point, the rhythm operates alongside the melody and includes 2 short quavers to allow Idina’s belt singing to display a final sense of fast-paced energy before she concludes on a forceful minim and semibreve that cements the fate of Elphaba and her concept of defying gravity. The harmony that is then added by the ensemble and Glinda…

    In Act 2 Scene 4 we come across Viola who has just returned from Olivia’s house with yet another rejection for the duke Orsino. Along with Viola the scene includes a melancholic Orsino who is sick with love and wishes to hear a rather sad love song as a way to alleviate his grief. This song is played at the midpoint of the play, by this time we have heard multiple conversations between the Duke and Viola in which he expresses grief and longing for the countess Olivia whom shows no interest in him. When we hear and see the song being played in the film, the context in which it is placed helps in answering some questions we might have at the end of the play. For example, at what point does Orsino express enough…
