American University Mama Said Knock You Out Song Discussion

 

Write a brief reaction to the new-to-you song you have chosen. Clearly identify which piece you are responding to, and address the following points:

  • Is melody the main feature of this piece?
  • If melody is the main feature, describe the melody in the terms we explored last week. (Range/contour/repetition/oscillation/etc.)
  • If melody is not the main feature, what is? Timbre, texture, or something else we haven’t covered in class yet?
  • Does this music remind you of anything else you’ve heard? If so, what is it reminiscent of, and how?
  • no reference needed
