Country Music From The West Mostly Sang by Cowboys Analysis Paper
For this assignment, conduct a deep analysis of a piece of popular music in the country genre. Using terminology from class (see below), describe what musically occurs in the composition. Paper must be at least 600 words (which amounts to around 1.5 double-spaced pages) and address key musical elements such as instrumentation and texture (what instruments/voices do you hear and how do they interact with one another?), rhythm (duple or triple meter, are any beat(s) particularly emphasized?), dynamics, tempo, and form. Address how the lyrics relate to the music, such as the song being in a minor key to reflect the somber tone of the lyrics, or the dynamics getting louder as the lyrics express more agitating subject matter.
