Questions:
- In your piece of music that you will write about, choose to discuss either Rhythm OR Harmony in this last blog post.

Answers:
- In my last blog assignment I will discuss the rhythm of my piece of music. At the very beginning of my piece, before any real singing comes in, the rhythm is very subtle & soft-spoken. Then, it becomes more complex & compelling to the listener. It’s like once you hear the real beat of the song, you’re hooked. As we keep listening, it gets more and more complex & precise. Then it drops back down to the more subtle & soft-spoken rhythm for a few seconds & then right back to the compelling rhythm. The whole song is cycle of this upbeat/complex rhythm, then usually as a transition there is a subtle (smooth/ominous) rhythm for a few seconds. For the beat, at the beginning of the song, it’s more slow & drawn out, but as you continue through the song it gets more upbeat.
