Project 4 & Assignment 1 – About Structure – Wild Dance
Starting Out
Initial Planning: The song duration should be ~ 2 min. The tempo is 120 crotchets per minute (240 quavers) for which there must be 480 quavers.
Defining what is already there: Before thinking about the structure to develop for example 14, I have looked at this example at slow speed instrument by instrument to understand what is already there since the it has a variable metre difficult to follow. After the introduction time signature (2/4 2/4) the unit 5/8 3/8 6/8 5/8 3/8 4/8 3/8 4/8 6/8 of 39 quavers starts to be repeated.
Instrument Choice:
· I’ve kept the cymbals (Cym.) and the snare drum (S.D.) since they are two strong instruments on the metal and membrane sections ideal for the “demons” theme.
· To provide more instrument colour I have brought in two wooden instruments that complement well each other (Wood Block Low (W.B.) and Wood Blocks High (W.B.H)) substituting the bass drum.
· The tambourine has been substituted by the Wasembe Rattle (W.R.) to add a more gently accompaniment sound.
The table below describes the structure of the song based on a set of scenes and explains the key musical aspects of each of the sections:
