West Side Story Name:
- What sorts of sounds do you hear in the soundtrack? Identify as many instruments as you can and list them here:
Violin, Viola, Violoncello, Double bass, Flute, Clarinet in B ♭ , Oboe | Bassoon, Trumpet in B ,♭ Trombone, Horn in F, Bass in B ♭, Alto sax, Tenor horn, Euphonium/Baritone, Timpani, Timbala, Bongo drum, Cowbell, Drum kit, and Glockenspiel
- What does the music sound like? Think about things like time signature/meter, timbre(tone), rhythms, minor vs major, tempo, articulation, texture, style, etc. Write your observations in at least a paragraph, using musical vocabulary.
The music sounds very classical and mostly homophonic—melody above chordal accompaniment. I would describe it as upbeat and to have a lasting value.
- How does the sound advance the story? Do the musical elements help you understand the setting, plot, and characters? Answer this question in at least a paragraph, giving thoughtful examples.
The sound accompanies the story by getting higher and more intense, bold even, when something exciting happens in the plot.
