1. I don't I've ever heard the opening piece before.
2. I do hear a part of it being repeated with the violins, actually feel like there is two different pieces that are repeated
3. violins
4. I would say thin for the most part I think it is just violins.
I recognize the piece but honestly can't place it. I feel like it I am listing to a duet...or a singer with back up. Its like a soft group will do one line and then a louder group will respond. I hear lots of violin. Because I hear mostly violin, it sounds thin as if compared to other pieces we have heard that had lots of horns in it.
i. I have heard this piece a hundred times before. Radio, Syphonies, Commercials, everything you could think of. It is so reproduced.
ii. It's kind of difficult to name the form of the song because the whole song is repeated about a hundred times. SO I'm going to go ahead and say ternary. I know there were at least 3 sections.
iii.I hear a violin, possibly viola, cello and bass. Basically I feel as though it is a stringed quartet.
iv. The sound is thin at times because I think there are only a few instrument. However, they at times sound very thick and full.
the opening line is very popular and reminds me of vegitales and the song sung by King Dareous. it repeats the part right after the opening. i think that the main instrument is the flute. I think parts of the piece were thin bacause there was only one instrument. other parts are thick because more than on einstrument is playing and they have diferent parts.
I have heard this theme before in a lot of movies. a lot of the song repeats, and it seems that violin is heard or some type of strings. the sound is more thin because it does not have all of the deep instruments that would build up the bottom end of the sound.
i. Yes, its in several commercials, movies and was in a musical that I was in in 3rd grade.
ii. the beginning theme is repeated
iii. strings
iii. it alternates between thick and thin
I have heard this opening theme EVERY WHERE. In commercials, movies, the elevator...lots of places.
The form of this is ABA..ternary form.
I hear lots and lots of strings primarily.
I think that it is thick because I hear lots of strings...and it just sounds thick and full.
1. Yes I have heard it servaeral time in several movies and commercials, possible some of the older Disney movies maybe?
2. The song seems to occur in rounds, or appears to be a rondo in a sense, where the beginning part is repeated and so on.
3. String instruments, such as the violin, probably a chello, and upright bass.
4. It really varies throughout the peice, in certain places the music has a very rich, thick texture, and in a few places the music has a thinner, almost dainty texture.
i.I have heard this piece in commercials.
ii. It is in the rondo form.
iii.I hear the violin and other stringed instruments.
iv. I believe this piece is thick. There are quite a few instruments playing.
