MUSIC 10
Fourth Grading Period
Week 3

Topic: 20th and 21st century MULTIMEDIA FORMS

MELC: explains how theatrical elements in a selected part of a musical play are combined
with music and media to achieve certain effects

Key Concepts
For today’s lesson, we are going to learn how certain effects are accomplished when
combining the different elements of theater with music. To review, the elements of
theater are as follows:

Sensory incorporates actions, sound, and display.

Formal incorporate plot, character, subject, and language
Technical incorporate play composing, coordinating, acting, and plan
Expressive incorporate feelings, temperaments, and dynamic characteristics.

Music as a sensory element affects our emotions. Certain sounds, modes, scales, and
other elements of music affect what we feel when we listen to them. For example,
generally songs written in the major scale tends to be upbeat, happy and cheerful.
On the other hand, songs written on the minor key generally sounds dark, gloomy,
and sad. Tempo and dynamics also play an important part in invoking emotions to
listeners. Fast Tempos can increase heartbeat, giving a sense of excitement or
anticipation. Slow tempos can provide a feeling of serenity and peace, but also of fear,
mysticism, and awe. Music, in combination with the Formal, Technical, and
Expressive elements of theater will invoke different emotions depending on the
ccombination

IMPORTANT – FROM THIS POINT WATCH THE PERFORMANCE USING THE LINKS
PROVIDED WHILE READING THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SCENARIO

In La Loba Negra’s opening scene, which can be

called excerpt from the opening scene, for the first
minute and a half, a slew of high-pitched arpeggios
from the violins combined with the blaring horns from
the brass section creates a sense of danger. Adding the
technological aspect of darkness with mystical blue
light and the character of Luisa with shadows on the
eyes while wearing a crimson robe and holding a dark,
serious expression shows creates a scene of fear,
making our sense of fight or flight activate. Her erratic
actions and poses add to the suspense.

Then, the silence at timestamp 1:43 gave an eeriee silece, while anticipating
what comes next. Then in her crucified form, it comes in a slow but suspenseful
orchestral music, and with her high-pitched singing and occasional dissonant
notes by the piano further intensifies the fear – she is not someone to be
messed with.

Furthermore, more erratic actions added with darkness all around

except at a single spotlight at the singer, enables you to focus on her. Loud
banging of drums at the end signifies danger.

Here’s another example: Awit ng Gabi ni Sisa from Noli Me Tangere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GefJvjQ1rNM

The music started loud and erratic, then proceeds with erratic violins under a
sublime background. Sisa’s costume and makeup, along with her erratic
singing, the dark gloomy atmosphere created by the dark blue background and
dim lights create an illusion of madness. The music changing back and forth
from erratic and sweet exemplifies a mad person’s disposition – angry, erratic
and violent in one moment, then sweet and happy again and vice versa. The
mystical background adds another layer of anguish, showing that the
character is not in the realm of reality.

Remember if left alone and without music, whatever the actors and actresses
do may end up confusing and boring. Music and sound complete the scenario,
drawing the audience closer and closer to the effect the director wants to
portray.
