How music make the feel
Music is a way of expression. People like making the music to express emotion. Some people are moved by melody, but another people are moved by lyrics . I think I should are moved by melody. I am surprised only 7 note to organize the nice melody. The composer use different ways and add different dynamics to express their emotion. Of course, people can through these melody to feel music.
I chose the second movement of Beethoven symphony No. 7. This is my favorite movement in the whole piece. During the movement, the composer uses strings, woodwinds and brass to organize.Comparing to other movement, the tempo is slow. Though this is a slow part, the composer made allegretto help this movement more lively. From beginning, the woodwinds played a note to lead the strings. The first, all instruments played the p and the timbre is very warm. Violin and cello played the theme and the other instruments supported them in the other part. In this movement ,every instrument has a different colour and every layer is very clean. Strings with woodwinds have a comparison on the timbre. Woodwind sound is more gentle than the strings. Especially, I felt very comfortable in my heart when the flute played the theme every time. The melody is very wonderful. This movement made me feel a little sad. I could feel that the composer has rich emotion.
During this movement, the composer uses homophony and polyphoy to describe this piece. In the whloe movement, the melody does not have big leap, every note basically make step to organize melody. Every phrase is very flowing. Though the melody is very simple, the composer uses a differemt instruments to express the same melody to make music become more abundant. From the beginning, some strings as the accompaniment to lead the theme which was playd by violin. Then, the composer uses homophny to describe music, all note supported a main melody, so this way highlight the lines of music and make people more clearly hear the composer who want to express feelings. Afterward, the composer uses polyphoy to continue music. the woodwinds imitatic strings to played the theme to make music become more interesting.
So, the melody easy to feel the music, I love nice melody.
