Closeness could be an important musical element because it is one that many people don't think about until they hear it. It's an element that can really bring out a certain emotion in the listener when it is used effectively. Closeness is effectively used when it seems like you can't really separate the voices, instruments, or whatever the artists decide to use,and it all sounds as one.]]> 2017-11-12 14:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jaylontyler/6rpqiiu4sz7n/wish/205985551 jaylontyler https://padlet.com/jaylontyler/6rpqiiu4sz7n/wish/205989287 I agree with Ratliff's arguments about closeness as a musical element.

But the earlier Beatles, through Help!, contained the marvel of closeness between the voices of Paul McCartney and John Lennon. They knew its power; they celebrated for it, were celebrated for it, could hardly contain it, may have been frightened by it, may have tried to frighten each other with it.They saw the effect on audiences of singing "ooh" in harmonized falsetto-maybe entrained falsetto"(Pg.163).]]> 2017-11-12 15:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jaylontyler/6rpqiiu4sz7n/wish/205992159 jaylontyler https://padlet.com/jaylontyler/6rpqiiu4sz7n/wish/205993129 "Sometimes the closeness of two musicians within a band is what makes the bank capable of moving beyond normal limits.
