3. Timbre is the tone that an instrument or a group of instruments is making. It usually determines what instrument is being played. Timbre is created due to the overtones generated by a specific instrument.

4. Track 1: “Stubborn Love”. Each individual instrument adds to the atmosphere created by the instruments as a whole. The song sounds slow, emotional, and uplifting as a result of the instruments used and note progressions played, an example being when the guitar and violin are played together.

Track 2: “Wait For Me”. By using loads of different instruments the band has created a very unique timbre. The instruments all work together to create a song with different moods. The guitarists work well together to create a fantastic rhythm and melody. Very emotional song.

Track 3: “Waves”. This song is electronic. The different sounds, instruments and synthesizers used were well tweaked to create a catchy and deep song. The collaboration of real instruments and digital ones makes it a very interesting and well produced track. Example being the guitar played over the bassline.

5. Genre can be defined as a group of music or a group of songs with similar characteristics.

6. Track 1: Folk Rock

    When I first listened to this song, the first musical element that I heard were the drums. It give me a sense of vibe that goes through you with every hit which makes a good thing inside you. It starts off with a crash symbol and a bass drum hitting together, and then all you hear is just the bass drum hitting with the ride symbol hitting every now and then. This helps the audience get engaged into what the song is going to be about and what happens next. After a few measures, you hear the lead acoustic guitar. It starts playing the melody that you hear throughout the whole song. The instruments that are playing make you feel sad and happy at the same time. So mostly the main three musical elements that you…

    The instrumentals have an underlying marching beat throughout the entire song. This is probably to imitate a movement rising up or oppression by the "soldiers and Nixon coming". The guitar takes on the voice of the uprising and the drums take on the voice of the oppressive soldiers. The verse loses the lyrical guitar in the background, while the chorus lessens the marching beat of the drum. This is done to give off conflicting ideas of being beaten down by the government and to incite an upheaval over the actions taken in Ohio. The instruments are used mostly to incite pathos in this song. In between each verse/chorus they play an instrumental except for the first verse transitioning into the chorus. CSNY played the song this way in order to give their main idea right away. The instrumentals are in place between the other segments of the song so that the audience has time to reflect upon the words between each transition. Since this song is only composed of a single verse and chorus and is still three minutes in length, I think that CSNY make their audience to focus a lot more on the song's words and meanings behind them.…

    The title that lends its name to the album, Animated Cycle, is divided into three parts, all of them shaped with a piano-bass-drums configuration. The first part is introspective and sorrowful, the second one creates an intriguing setting that balances the lyrical and the percussive sides, and the third sounds ample and vague, slowly catching sight of an air bubble to breathe.…

    The song I chose to review is “Crazy Face” by Van Morrison on the album “His Band and the Street Choir”. The tone color of this song is upbeat and jazzy, not so much inspirational, but laid back and pleasant. The tempo is based around an 8th note signature, mostly displayed by the Hi-hat in what I would classify as allegretto. The instruments involved in this song are; a piano, a standard drum set most likely a five piece with a standard 2 toms maybe 3, bass drum, snare, ride symbol, and a two crash symbols, an acoustic guitar, a banjo, a ukulele, a mandolin, an electric base, an organ, a saxophone, and last of all Van Morrison’s drunken voice. The form of this song is extremely simple yet very interesting and not common among popular song structure, ABCAB.…

    Track number two, “O Come All Ye Faithful/ O Holy Night,” was completely instrumental. It starts off with a piano solo. A loud single note of a guitar is introduced at first and is slowly incorporated. A bell is added to accent some lines. The piano continues to play one song while the guitar starts playing the next. They start blending so well you don’t really notice when they become to join forces to finish the song as one.…

    All About Timbre

    • 696 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In music, the term “timbre” is used for the quality of a musical note or sound that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices or musical instruments. Timbre is also known in psychoacoustics as tone quality or tone colour. There is no rating scale on which timbre can be measured, unlike pitch and loudness, which can be rated on scales from “high” to “low”.(i) The commonly quoted American National Standards Institute formal definition of timbre reflects this: “Timbre is that attribute of sensation in terms of which a listener can judge that two sounds having the same loudness and pitch are dissimilar".(ii) In other words, two sounds that are perceived as being different but which have the same perceived loudness and pitch differ by virtue of their timbre.…
