Presentation Transcript

  1. Ella Fitzgerald “They Can’t Take That Away From Me”

  2. Texture • Texture: is the way melody, rhythm, and harmony are combined in a composition to determine the overall quality of the sound of a piece. (Benward & Saker) • It is usually described as the thickness, density, or range of a piece

  3. The Introduction Notice the beginning of the piece has a thin texture. Even in this piano and voice reduction, you can see that the piano has the harmony which is simple and is a nice intro to the piece.

  4. A Full Texture The full texture comes in after the introduction, when the chorus comes in.

  5. Can you hear the trumpets and the orchestra playing louder?

  6. The Climax • The texture gets fuller as the song progresses and by the end of the piece it has climaxed and has gotten louder and more intense.
