Carmina+Page

Hi Guys! This is our page to collaborate on ideas around Carmina.

Ok, so we've talked about a lot of issues in class already. Let's make a list!

I'll start: We talked about melody and one of the points I made was that all the voices are in unison at bar 5.

The melody at the start is both scalic and repetitious. It has one phrase that is repeated and then a variation is played after that.

The melody uses mostly small intervals, mainly seconds and thirds. Note values are only minims and semibreves.

The melody is played at a fortissimo dynamic creating a dramatic and scary feel.

of the selected excerpts from a work selected from the Prescribed List of Ensemble Works.
Different articulations are used to create effects. For example, accents are used in the first four bars to create the scary, dramatic feel. media type="youtube" key="eH3GH7Pn_eA" height="344" width="425"

Great start on the table guys! I've also put the pdf document (link above) in the files section to make it easier. Matt
