So the semester's winding down and that means final papers. For my music theory class, Structure, Context, and Style, I have to analyze two pieces and then compare and contrast those pieces. So in order to make things somewhat easier for us we are allowed to analyze the piece we did for our analysis presentations a couple of weeks ago. By the way in case you forgot that was this piece and yes, we did get an A on our presentation. For the presentation I analyzed the third movement but for my paper I have to choose another movement. So naturally I chose the second movement for its abundance of trombone solos!!!
Now since we have analyze two pieces for this paper we were basically allowed to choose anything we wanted for the second piece so I chose the second track from this album. I'm not really sure why I decided on this song other than it's similar in length and features a harp, which if you're familiar with Scheherazade and its violin solos, is also a similar feature. Other than that, I'm not too sure how they compare. I'll let you know.
So for the next 2+ weeks I'll be looking at Sound, Harmony, Melody, Rhythm, and Growth (movement & shape) for these two pieces and constructing a 35-45 page paper about it. I should probably get started.
