List 5 general characteristics for each of the following style periods (write true statements):

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Baroque (1600 - 1750)

The Baroque period marked the beginning of what is commonly considered classical music. Music during this time developed from Renaissance music into the tonal music with which we are familiar today.

Baroque music is primarily characterized by its polyphonic texture, meaning that the music contains 2 or more independent melodic voices.

In particular, Baroque music is known for its use of the counterpoint. The counterpoint is a pretty complex musical idea, but in simpler terms, counterpoint uses different, independent musical lines that sound harmonious when played together.

Characteristics of Baroque music include:

Polyphonic texture: multiple melodic lines in different voices

Unity of mood: each piece features a single emotion (i.e. a piece that begins happy will remain happy)

Continuity of rhythm: rhythmic patterns are often repeated throughout a piece

Repetition of melody: the melody is repeated; though it is distinct, it is not lyrical

Terraced dynamics: dynamics change suddenly rather than gradually

Ornamentation (music flourishes, often fast notes, to decorate the main note)

Less use of instrumental music; large use of the harpsichord

Classical (1750 - 1830)

Music from the Classical period shifted away from the Baroque period's emphasis on polyphonic texture and more towards a single melody with accompaniment. This created music with less texture but with a more clearly defined melody.

Characteristics of Classical music include:

Single melody with accompaniment: one voice carries the primary melody while another voice plays a simpler line that supports the melody

Larger variety of keys, melodies, rhythms, and dynamics

More contrast in a piece

Shorter, clearer melodies than in Baroque music

More emphasis on instrumental music

Primary forms of composition: sonata, trio, string quartet, symphony, concerto

Romantic (1830 - 1920)

Music from the Romantic period is characterized by its much greater passion and expression than that of earlier periods. Romantic works display an expansion of form (like the key and instrumentation of a piece).

Characteristics of Romantic music include:

Freer form and more personal expression of emotion

Emphasis on lyrical melodies and themes

More modulation (change in key) to unexpected keys: the overall effect of this is that it is harder for the listener to predict what will happen next in the piece

More chromaticism and scales other than major/minor

Greater variety in pitch, dynamics, and rhythm

Less traditional chord progressions

Program music: more pieces inspired by literary/artistic sources

Greater emphasis on nationalism: many composers infused cultural songs or dances into their works

Contemporary (1920 - present):

The most conspicuous differentiation between classical music in the Contemporary period and in previous periods is the shift in tone. Whereas music from the Common Practice Period was largely tonal, much Contemporary music is atonal.

Contemporary classical music can be divided into:

20th-century Contemporary Classical Music:

Varies greatly, no dominant style

Increased use of dissonance

21st-century Contemporary Classical Music:

Huge variety in style, which include minimalism, experimentalism

Contains a variety of influences, from world music to technology

Many classical composers have written for film scores

Songs you wrote from your head that i can re edit it

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh

One day I set my eyes up to the sky

And like a plane my dreams were passing by

And I awoke to tears that had filled my eyes

I need to spread my wings out and fly

I lie awake at night with these memories

Of feeling powerless and they're haunting me

I'm always reaching out for this destiny

To make it happen that's all on me

Cruel fate sets in motion

And no one else knows why

Waiting for the day to come, when will it show up?

Claiming what's before my eyes

With every issue, I gotta breathe through

Or the moment might just pass

They all told me I can't, they were laughing

Well look who's laughing now

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me

I'll be the hero and no one can stop me

Loudly I will scream it from the top of my lungs

You got those tired eyes from crying every moment

You cannot hide it, someone's gonna notice

I'll be your hero, no one's gonna hurt you again

Gonna raise my hand with a peace sign

Our story will last forever

No, I could never say I'm protecting you

I know you're stronger than me and you know it too

And yet you still detest when I'm helping you

Why can't you see it's all I can do?

You know I had to change ever since the day

The day I dried up my tears and I walked away

So go ahead and laugh, there's no other way

I'm all alone and that's nothing new

Now I've been kicking and screaming

It's like I don't know how to breathe

You know that I try my best, but within my depths

There's a mess inside of me

But like an ember, I'll remember

There's a fire inside of me

Tell me to forget this, but I want this

It's all I'll ever need

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me

I'll be the hero and no one can stop me

Loudly I will scream it from the top of my lungs

You got those tired eyes from crying every moment

You cannot hide it, someone's gonna notice

I'll be your hero, no one's gonna hurt you again

Gonna raise my hand with a peace sign

Our story will last forever

'Cause I can feel it, I can hear it screaming, keep on going

You'll go the distance, there's so much in you that's worth the showing

Give me the go and then I'll show you what I got

I'll break myself apart, I'm never gonna stop

So now you know that all my dreams and memories within me

All play so vividly and wake me up, my soul is screaming

Never take them back, I'd do it all again

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me

I'll be the hero and no one can stop me

I'll go the distance, no one's gonna get in my way

It's time to dry your eyes, we've got no time for crying

You're gonna show them and you'll keep on smiling

And be a hero, gotta give your all every day

Now's the time to throw up a peace sign

We won't back down, no never

You and I will make our own story

I've got your back forever
