4. My response to Copeland’s first plane of listening (sensuous) is, I agree completely. To
listen to music with only the intent but for sheer pleasure is the right way to enjoy music
to its full potential. There’s no pressure to analyze or having to think deep about what the
artist and their song is trying to say.
5. My response to Copeland’s second plane of listening (expressive) is that I believe that
everyone feels something when they are listening to music, whether or not they know
what they’re feeling and how to express it. Everyone has different experiences with
music and how it affects them (emotionally, mentally, etc.)
6. The melody of this composition is harmonious yet slow. The rhythm of the song seems to
be downbeat; dark and sad. When the pitch and rhythm of the choir is low, the entire
song is slow and ominous. Throughout the entire song it seems to stay the same.
7. The harmony of this composition is functional. When the choir’s notes, and pitches blend
together seamlessly creating this harmony is amazing to hear. When the notes harmonize
and become higher as does the melody. Also, when the harmonies become lower as does
the melody. Harmony in songs is what breaks up the normal rhythm by adding some sort
of flare to it, in order to create something different.
8. The rhythm in this song starts off and end with a dark and sad tone and as the songs
progresses it seems to stay the same in volume, pitch, and rhythm. The meter in this
composition at first seems to repeat itself. As for the tempo of this composition, I would
say the same thing. In the beginning of the song, the mood seems to be slow and sad,
whereas when the song begins to build, the tempo stays at this slow and somber pace.
9. The timbre of this song would be that in the beginning the timbre would be breathy and
dark. As the song progresses, the choir begins to increase in volume at parts. So, the
timbre of the song then becomes somewhat fuller. Throughout, the middle of this
composition the song stays the same with this breathy and mellow sound and then
towards the end it begins to pick up in volume but stays along the same tragic feeling and
sound.
10. The form of this composition is in ternary form because the song goes section A to
section B and then back to section A again, it turns back around to repeat the first section.
