Homework 10/16

You should go to hooktheory.com and search on the song 'Hallelujah'. You should then write out the notes to the chords, similarly to how you did for the songs we used in class yesterday. Then, try to write them out so that the chords flow smoothly between one another (keeping common notes and moving the other notes by step when possible).

Homework - 10-5

In a Google Doc, share with me the link to a song whose track production (the instrumental accompaniment, not the lead vocal or melody) you connect with. For this assignment, I recommend you work with something on the less complex side. After listening deeply and focusing on the instrumental tracks and each specific layer therein. Then, write up a paragraph describing and outlining the accompanying instrumental, using language to characterize each part (i.e. "reverb-heavy acoustic drums--uses ride cymbal on chorus; synth bass in a rhythmic pattern; string section in harmony on the bridge). You may wish to organize your paragraph by formal sections of the song (intro, verse, chorus, etc.).
