Ratliff's element of closeness is probably one of the most important parts of a song. You can have great instrumentals with flare and power, but the closeness between them is what makes a solo a band, a singer a choir, and so on and so forth. Closeness can be defined as the ability of the singer or musician to maintain a close relationship to whatever else is going on in the work or piece of music. This is an important part of music because it makes the music blend. Ever since a musician starts learning, he or she is taught to blend with your orchestra, band, or choir. This is because whenever you blend, you create a power that not only one instrument or singer can produce, but you create a power that is far beyond that. In my Padlet, we will explore Ratliff's element (closeness) and determine the importance of it based on songs, details, etc. I will incorporate quotes from Ratliff's book, and I will provide pictures of various artists who incorporated Ratliff's element and videos that exemplify this.
