Task 4.2

Listen to a range of music with contrasting styles from

Opera singing, soul singing, Pop music to Rap and talk about the differences in articulation and the importance of how words or notes are expressed and how this gives meaning to the song

Bugzy Malone fire in the booth debut

The lyrics in this tune are very intense this is because it is a real life story

his delivery is fast but very clear and you can understand every word the song is very dark and this shows in how his words are delivered he sounds angry and this comes across in the sound of his voice . the sound of his voice is very important to the song to make it believable.

Dr.Dre- I Need A Doctor ft. Eminem,Skylar Gray

The lyrics in this tune are upsetting because it tries to remind you of someone you might have lost or they left. Its slow when the chorus kicks in but the verses are fast because they're rap. Her singing calms the tune down but when Eminem raps it makes it sound like he's mad at Dre. The contrast between the singing and rapping is good because there 2 different things and they help the tune flow.

Nessun Dorma

The lyrics and the flow make you feel tired and drowsy when your listening this music is quite relaxing. It also makes me curious to know he is talking about because its a different language. Its reminds me of a song that would suit the movie titanic. His voice is powerful and they way he sings is what makes you feel his lyrics.

The beginning of the song is when the notes are long these notes that they're singing the notes in the first verse there long the second section that sounds like an opera the notes get shorter this has a scary and confusing effect on the sound  in the guitar solo the note are long this has a rock feel and makes you want to nod your head at the end the notes are long this gives the song a sad ending . The different note  sizes make the song very interesting and helps to tell the story
