Don’t worry, be happy was by Played by Bobby McFerrin in the seventies. The in
this piece the texture changes a lot as the work progresses. Every time the
music would take a slower beat the texture would become thicker and the dynamic
or the volume becomes lower. When the dynamic slows, one instrument would only
be playing, and all at once when the tempo picks up more, and than three or more
instrument would be playing. It seemed that when there are more than one
instrument playing, they would all have a solo part to contribute. For example,
the violin would play a fast tempo and the clarinet would play a slower tempo.
The instrument that I most noticed in this piece is the violin. Throughout the
piece the violin keeps on changing tempo and dynamic. What I liked most about
this piece this how the instruments answer each other with a different beat, and
dynamics. Maged Saleh Professor, Ferguson Jazz Open Listening Report "All I
Want" The piece called "All I want" was written by Bobby Mcferrin..
In this piece I would say that the texture stayed the same most of the time. It
starts out with a very slow tempo. It is like walking in a desert without water.
The tempo keeps on dragging you to a faster and more dynamic sound. When that
happens it is like taking the first taste of water after a long walk in the
desert. The violin plays as the main instrument when it comes to the faster
tempo and dynamic part. The clarinet on the other hand takes the slower mood in
the piece. The volume would get louder as the tempo picks up. What I liked about
this particular piece is the way it changed its tempo from vary slow to vary
fast. What I did not like is that their are not enough instruments involved. The
only instrument that stood out I would have to say is the violin. Maged Saleh
Professor, Ferguson Jazz Open Listening Report Good Loven The piece Good Loven
was played the most by Bobby Mcferrin. The piece starts out with a slow tempo
and changes to a vary loud dynamic. The texture did stay the same. Once the
dynamic becomes louder the texture takes a different turn. What is quince about
this piece is the how all the instruments play the same tempo. The volume does
not change as much as in the other pieces. When the tempo slows the violin and
the flutes would take over. As the volume gets louder more instruments join in.
What I liked about this piece is how the bass was being used. The words seemed
to take in a big part on with the instruments. Just by the words alone you can
what jazz was all about. I think this was the only song that I listened too more
than one time.
