Music Analysis.

Music #1

The music is mostly comprised of voices meaning it’s a choir. The voice composition is mostly polyphonic and doesn’t have any instruments to
back it up. There is also a lead singer and a backup singer. The music shows perfect blend of melody and voice composition. Overall, the music
has many complicated parts but it was a great composition to listen to.

Music #2

Just like music #1, it is a choir. But unlike the first music, the second music is composed of more complex melodic patterns.
Music #3

Music #3 has more complexity. There are many melodies joined together, the rhythm is good and there are many overlapping voices. The music
is also full of energy.

Music #4

It has a much simpler melody and most of the voices are synchronized together.

Baroque

Music #5

The music is Soft and lively and isn’t accompanied by any voice. Bach showed what is baroque music all about. Dynamics are present since it has
parts where the music becomes loud and soft, it is a common technique in baroque music. The melody is also superb since it shows what new
forms of music they can make using the new techniques discovered in the baroque era.

Music #6

The four seasons clearly showed the four seasons in musical form. The implementation of the new technique called the fast-slow-fast. The fast-
slow-fast form is a technique in music that is used to shift between tremendous amount of tempo to low amounts of tempo. This is observed in
Summer, Spring, Autumn, and Winter. Spring has a lively tune which showed what is spring all about. Its tempo is fast compared to the other
music in the composition. Summer has a slow tempo; Autumn is my favorite among the four. It has complex melodic patterns and the usage of
the new technique made it more elegant. And lastly, winter has a mystic and build-up music theme
