Some parts were a little confusing to read but that's just because you really have to think on a deeper level to understand what Ratliff means and to understand the different elements of the music. I think my favorite chapter was chapter 6 because I personally had never noticed what an impact a single note could do to a song. I think it just adds so much anticipation and texture to the song with something as simple as a repeated single note. I really opened my ears to listen to different sounds and rhymes in music. I do think that if you're not really into music and the whole make up of it all then Ratliff's book isn't a good read. I think that you have to truly want to expand your knowledge to fully understand what he's saying in the different chapters because it is kind of hard to wrap your head around some of these concepts. I did enjoy reading it for this class and it has helped me experience music differently by allowing me to focus on the lyrics and the way a piece is sung or the way some instruments stick out more than others. There's a ton of elements to music and they all combine to create great works of art. ]]> 2017-12-01 02:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212132082 amandakounlavouth https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212133522 I like this example because Ratliff explains it as more of an experimental/humanistic song, with Davis "looking for his own perfect note or moment" (Ratliff 228). It creates that casualty within in the song and adds a more playful vibe. ]]> 2017-12-01 02:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212133522 amandakounlavouth https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212133870 I used this example in my Padlet on chapter 6. I said that the single note at the beginning creates suspense and interest for the listener. Also, it creates memorable song.]]> 2017-12-01 02:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212133870 amandakounlavouth https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212134117 Since this is the last padlet on the book, I decided to add a picture of the author, himself. ]]> 2017-12-01 02:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212134117 amandakounlavouth https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212134428 This is a performance picture of Miles Davis preforming The Meaning of the Blues.]]> 2017-12-01 02:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amandakounlavouth/p6tthybb77nh/wish/212134428
