Listening Perspectives:
You have learned how different listeners approach a piece of music. Let us analyze the above piece of music by listening as a casual listener, a referential listener, a perceptive listener, and then finally as a critical listener to this incidental music titled "In the Hall of the Mountain King" timing 0:05 to 2:25 from the play "Peer Gynt" by Edvard Grieg.
Include all four types of listeners in your descriptions and use the terms Dynamics, Timbre, Pitch, Tempo, and Accelerando to address how Grieg achieves unity and variety in this music.
Ask yourself if this piece has any specific connotation? If so, what is it? Why does it have a specific connotation?

Sagot :

The exercise has to do with Listening Perspectives.  Listening Perspectives refers to the various kinds of perspectives from which one can appreciate a piece of music auditorily.

Analysis of the track ""In the Hall of the Mountain King"

  • Casual Listener: From this perspective, the music seems to move from slow tempo to fast tempo.

  • Referential Listener: As a referential listener, this music and its dynamics remind me of actions that are hilarious in movies.

  • Perceptive Listener: As a perceptive listener, I can't but help to notice the fine graduation in tempo.

  • The composer uses Accelerando (the gradual increase in tempo and volume) to create a swelling effect which sort of gives the impression of a story that is about to hit its the point of resolution.

  • Critical Listener: As a critical listener, while I appreciate the overall quality of the music (which was most excellently delivered) the over dynamics revealed a slight flaw during the sections when the orchestra was supposed to increase the tempo.

It was as though some of the ensembles went to the next tempo while others remained momentarily only to catch up later.

The connotation of the music piece "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is such that it can be used as the anthem of a movie.
