Jazz Jazz Open Listening Report "Don’t worry, be happy" 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
