Ratliff uses the example of one song called "Thelonious" by Thelonious Monk to show how using one note acknowledges melody, rhythm, and harmony.He also explains how an artist uses this to have unique part of the song that stands on its own. I agree with Ratliff's argument in regards to a single note in a song. I think a single note is meant to stand out and alone from the rest of the piece and it's for the audience to notice. I talked about one of the songs on Ratliff's playlist,
"Thelonious", and how the single note was used to convey how the artist sees himself in the world, rapid and fast changing but he himself stays the same, hence the note. A song not on his playlist is The Rolling Stones, "Satisfaction", which uses one note on the guitar throughout the song. It stands out and emphasizes what he's trying to say.]]> 2017-10-22 19:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199386503 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199392437 Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" uses one note in the guitar.]]> 2017-10-22 20:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199392437 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199392670 "Thelonious" by Thelonious Monk is a great example of how single notes are used by an artist to get the listeners attention.]]> 2017-10-22 20:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199392670 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199392892 "Thelonious" by Thelonious Monk]]> 2017-10-22 20:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199392892 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199393060 The Rolling Stones " Satisfaction"]]> 2017-10-22 20:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199393060 ryleymullen https://padlet.com/ryleymullen/438nyy0chbgn/wish/199393163 "It could describe the world around him changing rapidly, while he stays the same, a single note, over and over."
