|
| What is the time signature? |
|
12/8- compound time
feels like 6/4 in bass and drum kit creating cross rhythms in intro and verses 1-3 |

verses 1-3 = Em
verses 6-4 = C maj

terraced (each section different)
Begins quietly
higher pitch = louder dynamics

|
synth
wurlitzer piano sound (created on another synth) |
|
|
|
| Played/sung octave lower that written (voice bouzouki and wurlitzer piano) |
|
|
|
|
cross rhythms at start (cos of time sig)
syncopation in vice du to rhythm of words- melysmatic (more that one note for one syllable)
|
|
|
|
|
chord patterns: melody stays the same but is harmonised three ways
v1-3 = Em / G
v4-6, 8 = C / G / Em C / G
v7= Am9 / Em9 / Em C/ G
|
|
|
|
polyphonic at start
mostly homophonic from V4 |
|
|
|
|
melodic devices: repetition, call and response between synth and bouzouki at start, improvised feel to violin, interplay between violin and pipes in V6 and outro
Cluster chord played on synth at start (all notes of chord close together on keyboard)
|
|
|
|
|
main melody sung all the way through with slight variation in V4 6 + 8
each verse made different by different instruments, diff. chords, use of instrumental break, interplay between instruments and use of N.C. (no chord- backing stops)
|
|
|
|
Strophic song (multiple verses)
intro(instrumental)
v1-8 (short instrumentals in V 1 + 6)
outro |

*bouzouki sometimes picks, sometimes strums
*fiddle used more as a sound effect tha melody eg plays tremolando in intro – later plays in harmony with uillean pipes in V6 instrumental
*synth marked ‘with modulation’ at start = wobble
*hi-hat played with brushes
