MUSI 3041 Assignment 6 ---- Yunrui Zheng

 Truth To Power----OneRepublic Yunrui Zheng Script: Right now, we are facing a man-made disaster on a global scale, climate change. The disconnect between awareness and action seems to get wider and wider with each passing year. So today, I want to introduce a protest song by OneRepublic , Truth To Power , which intends to advocate for environmental awareness and inspire us to take action. Minutes turn to hours, hours turn to years, and I've seen truth turn to power. Truth To power , is an original pop song written for the film, “ An Inconvenient Sequel, Truth To Power ”. From my perspective, “Truth To Power”, is actually "Speak truth to power". The "speaker" is the "earth" and the "power" is the "human". So it actually was written from the viewpoint of Mother Earth, how she sees us and how our actions affect each other and the planet. It is ultimately a call to action, expressing that the truths that humans have been unwilling to...

Assignment 5 June: Barcarolle_________Liu Yushuo

“June: Barcarolle” is one of Tchaikovsky's piano suites "The Seasons". In fact, there are 12 pieces in "The Seasons", representing 12 months, so each piece is named "Month + Title". It is obvious that “June - Barcarolle” is a depiction of the Russian landscape in June, which embodies the composer's love for nature and is based on a Russian folk dance or folk song, which is closely linked to the composer's emotions. With a sweet melody and soft harmonies the composer expresses the shimmering and rippling water, recreating scenes of landscape, life episodes and various scenes of social activities. In general, this music uses the triple meter and quadruple meter to imitate the feeling of evenly paddling Russian flat-bottom boats. Compared with most of the boat songs written in compound duple meter.The composer's arrangement is more able to reflect the mood of a light boat. Bars 1 to 2 are the introductory section, which is in the key of G mino...

MUSI 3041 Assignment #1 - Yating Yang

Assignment #1: Music in the Harbour City Yating Yang (3036037011) On September 17th, I went to Harbour City for a unique journey in finding music. Like in most malls, visitors can hear softly orchestral music played in the corridor and other transitional spaces. This kind of music is good background music because it has no distinctive features and will not occupy much of the visitors' attention. Meanwhile, every store played its music. After listening carefully to the music, I got more ideas about how music organizes different spaces. In terms of the music itself, different music contents could help to frame various spaces. The BOOK CASTLE, a children's bookstore, successfully uses music to create its unique space. As the target customer group is newborns to teenagers, this store plays various children's songs such as Down by the Station   and Are you Sleepin g? As soon as I entered the bookstore, I felt like stepping into a fairy tale world. The music could effectively int...
