The beginning of the musical work gradually get faster in tempo as the orchestra harmonizes together. The tone color of the woodwinds and strings work well together to create dynamics. This musical work displays the elements differently. <\/p>\n

I like how this musical work which began with the flute and some of the woodwinds. The woodwinds, strings, and brass harmonize within the same beat and tempo in my opinion. The one thing that draws me into the musical work is the way the flutes kind of draw in the other instruments into the beat. <\/p>\n

This is the song “The Hardest Button to Button,” by the group, The White Stripes.\u00a0 It’s a music video.<\/p>\n

This musical work mainly works with tempo of the drum and electric guitar as well as the pitch of the vocals. This musical work is more of a rock tempo and the drums draw you into the music more.<\/p>\n

The woodwinds and the brass intensify the musical work bringing the woodwinds to a softer dynamic. The tone color of the instruments all together to amplify the harmony. I like how the woodwinds dynamics are softer and the strings are louder. <\/p>\n

This musical work has a simple one note drum beat. The melody of this song starts with the bass. There is no element that really draws me into the music. <\/p>\n

The beginning of this musical work starts with a softer and slower dynamic and melody with the violin. The woodwinds harmonize with the strings. Once the drums are played the woodwinds and strings tempo get a little faster. I like instruments end the tempo the way it started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
