Answer Key

Create a Leitmotif of your own!

 * Choose a piece that you can identify with and describe elements of the piece that make it represent who you are.
 * How can you change your leitmotif and have it sound different for a variety of emotions or situations?
 * How would it change if you were excited?
 * if you were sad
 * if you fell in love
 * if you were angry
 * if you were trying to be sarcastic

//*Remember: a leitmotif is not an entire song, find a chorus or verse to identify with!//

Attach your leitmotif of choice and label it in unit four of your wiki space. Write a brief answer to each bulleted question above using vocabulary and adjectives we discussed in yesterdays class. If you have experience with finale or logic pro feel free to experiment! media type="custom" key="11253568"•Happy Song •I would replace this singer with a singer of less talent •I would change the pitch to a lower decibal so the piece does not have such a bright feel •I would drop the tempo as well so everything seems slowed down and darker.

•I would chop up the rhythm to the point where its slightly offbeat so it doesn't sound so perfect.media type="custom" key="11253540" •Sad Song •I would change the key from D,which tends to be a more depressing type key, to something brighter like a G or an E. •I would tell John Mayer to not sing like he's dying and actually have some energy. •I would add more instrumentation because the guitar itself is not good enough just by itself.

**__Requiem__**
1.Both pieces are overall very dark and suspenseful. Both their first parts are dark and angry and played very aggressively. It gives a deep and somewhat scary feel while the stings pound and the singers bellow. Shortly after though, the pieces mellow down and have a tranquil and peaceful moment. At this point, the pieces seem to have completely transformed you can only hear hints of the melody and the singers notes as reminders that you are listening to the same piece. The pieces go through transfers like this very often but the overall feeling is dark and grim.

2. The deaths of Giocachino Rossini and Alessandro Manzoni were possible people/things that inspired Verdi to create this master piece

3. These requiem pieces are much different then the previous ones. You can instantly hear the difference. These two start off with a completely different feel thats more uplifting but still eerie at the same time. These sound more like what I think a requiem should sound like. Their not nessecarily happy, However their not as grim as the other pieces. Its more like a relaxing requiem.

4.Instead of Latin its derived from the German Luther Bible

5.The death of his mother in February 1865, and Robert Schuman in July of 1856

6.I think the fact that he quote on quote wrote it for fun might have changed the mood, Because in that case he would have no emotional connection with the piece which could change the mood drastically.
