The whole song can be based off of that one repeating note. It is important because the concept of "a single note can create a risk" (Ratliff 76). The artist runs the risk of seeming monotone or boring to the listener and them not continuing to listen. The listener is able to interpret that single note however he/she would like to. ]]> 2017-10-23 01:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199418106 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199420986 I agree with Ratliff. I think that the single note is an important concept to music. It always for artists to make a unique sound. This way they know that nobody has ever made that certain combination of sound before. It allows for creativity in music and musical variation. ]]> 2017-10-23 01:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199420986 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199421704 In this song at the part where Drake says, "You know I stay reminiscin' and makeup sex is tradition but you been missing girl and you..." he somehow manages to say this all at once while staying on B. It exemplifies the musical concept by staying on one note the entire time. ]]> 2017-10-23 01:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199421704 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199424441 Throughout the song, Lady Gaga manages to stay on the same note and does not really stray from that sound. ]]> 2017-10-23 01:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199424441 isabellanieves https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199424672 Ratliff talks about Thelonious Monk in the beginning of this chapter. Thelonious is known for his song "Thelonious" and its piano solo in which he plays a B flat for eight measures. ]]> 2017-10-23 01:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellanieves/2qbyqjsbq0n1/wish/199424672
