TEST III. ESSAY

Explain the elements of art and music in the video posted in GC. (6 points).

● From the video I saw, it was Andrea Bocelli and Celion Dion singing the song The Prayer.
They're voice is such an epic fantasy, a paradise in feeling, no hurt and pain. All is just
pure love and a heavenly feeling. I love the collaboration of them two even though
Andrea is blind but God gives him a voice from heaven. Pure beauty the melody is just
sweet and their rhythm and the changing switching of voice register is just on point.
The voice has a unique tone color such as warm, bright, high and low. The overtone
of the sound is unique.
