HOW DO TEMPO AND DYNAMICS CONTRIBUTE TO THE AESTHETIC VALUE OF

THE SONG?

The song's tempo and dynamics are important elements. Without

them, the song would be flat and boring. Both are used to express
specific moods and expressions that musicians want to convey to
their audiences. Consider music without it. The music would be
unappealing, and people would be unable to relate to or appreciate
the song.

WHAT TEMPO DID YOU CHOOSE?

DID THE DYNAMICS DESIGN YOU MAKE EVOKE THE MOOD AND EMOTION
INTENDED FOR THIS SONG?

I chose the tempo andante, which is at a walking pace, and it

matches the dynamics as well as the song.

The dynamics I chose evoke the specific moods and expressions

intended for the song, as well as match the tempo of the song.

The song Mabagal is about slow dancing, so the tempo and dynamics
should be at a walking pace, just serene and soft to match the
message of the song.
