Questions:
- Listen to your chosen piece of music to discover any examples of how the music “paints” the meaning of the words. Describe what you hear or what happens in one or more parts of your recording. If you cannot hear any text painting in your musical example, try finding another piece of music that does and write about what you discovered. (Google “text painting music example”)
Answers:
- I cannot hear any text painting in my musical example, No Guidance, so I tried finding one on Google. While searching, I came across Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around”. In this musical example, when he sings “what goes around, goes around, comes back around”, it feels like you’re going around, & circling back. He is successful at making this text painting work because he starts by descending & then ascending vocally. This is what I was able to discover in Justin Timberlake’s song.
